This was the second time Alex and Nasty have sat for us, and they are now our friends! Because we had so many complicated travel plans, they came and lived 'with us' for a couple of months, and they are just so easy going it was a joy. And they've introduced us to the best ice cream in Brussels and a local coffee shop we have completely overlooked! They are a great couple and communicated well and Lucy and Lily loved them. In fact I think Lily cried a little when she realised they'd gone!
Florence was great! She arrived on time to make key handoff easy, took good care of the cats, and left the house tidy. She also sent pictures and updates about the boys, which I appreciated. She even left a fruit plate and a flower on the table when she left. You should feel good with Florence watching your fur babies.

Jane has been walking our dog Rocky for a few years now and has always been very flexible and adaptable to our varied needs. She has assisted us with finding temporary cover whilst she is away and has also helped us find boarding care when she was unavailable at very short notice. Rocky loves going out with Jane and the rest of the Paws and Whiskers gang. He recently boarded with her whilst we were abroad on holiday and the care given was fantastic. It really did help us to relax and have a great time knowing that Rocky was well looked after. We would highly recommend Paws and Whiskers Pet Care to anyone needing her services. Many thanks from Andy and Heather
I can't recommend Jane highly enough! She provided excellent dog walking and home boarding services. My dog always came back happy and tired after walks, and the home boarding experience was fantastic. I received regular updates and felt completely at ease knowing my dog was in such caring hands. If you're looking for a trustworthy and loving dog walker and boarder, Jane is the one! Thank you for everything! 🐾❤️
Paws and Whiskers have done a fantastic job looking after our 2 cats and guinea pigs whilst we've been away! Really good service and felt our pets were in safe hands. Got regular updates. Would definitely recommend.
Jane has looked after our 13 year old springer spaniel a few times he is still extremely lively but he copes well with the fabulous walks Jane takes him on. We get fantastic photos of him whilst we are away and updates. He couldn’t be in better hands, we have no concerns as he is so content staying with Jane.
Arnie loves going for his walks with Jane. Jane has helped out numerous times at very short notice if something has come up and we need arnie walking. The best dog walker in the high peak. 100% recommend
Jane has been looking after Angus for a while now, he always looks forward to seeing her whether it’s for walks or pet visits, she is always making a fuss of him when she sees him, I have a very varied and busy schedule that changes regularly and Jane has always been accommodating for this and is always happy to help if she can. I really appreciate all that Jane does for Angus and I’m sure he is too. Thank you for all your help.
There is nobody else we would trust Daisy with when we go away other than with Jane, we get updates via messages and can see where she's been each day on the Facebook page surrounded by other dogs which she loves. Daisy flies through Jane's front door and truly makes herself right at home because she's so comfortable and happy there! Knowing your dog is happy and so well looked after is priceless and I would highly recommend to anybody.
Jane is so lovely. Her love for animals is apparent in everything she does and she always goes above and beyond to make sure our dog is well cared for. Luna loves her walks with Jane and it is so reassuring to know that she is in good hands. I love to see the amazing photos she takes on her walks and it’s so nice to see Luna having fun with her friends. Would 100% recommend!
Our four cats had the pleasure of being cared for by Jane whilst we were away for the weekend. We were able to relax knowing that Jane was visiting them and we received updates so we knew our fur babies were in good hands. Would definitely recommend.
I have used Jane for the last 4 years to walk Archie, she was recommended by another user and I am so glad she did! Archie gets excited every time I mention her name let alone when she turns up to walk him. We also use Jane for boarding as I know he is being so well looked after & I can go away with no worries whatsoever! She should also be a photographer as the pictures she takes of the pups in action are amazing! I really do not know what we would do without her! 😘
Claire did a great job of looking after our cats and providing us with daily updates, photos and videos. She was very attentive to their needs and even our nervous cat felt comfortable with her. We found Claire to be well organised, polite and reliable.
We would absolutely recommend Claire to anyone looking for a cat sitter. Our cat can be very shy and nervous around new people but Claire managed to win her over immediately! We loved seeing the photos after each visit and the updates meant that we could really relax knowing that our cat was in such safe hands. We already have more visits booked in and I’m sure Poppy is looking forward to it!
Great experience using Peak Pet Services - Claire took the time to understand our cat’s individual needs before we went away which really helped us feel at ease. Daily updates and photos were provided and the questions/messages exchanged demonstrated that Claire was truly invested in our cat’s welfare whilst we were away. We came back to a calm and happy cat (which is not always the case after we’ve been a way) - a clear sign that Claire had done a fantastic job. We will be booking again the next time we are away!
It's brilliant to be able to go away knowing our animals are in such safe hands. Claire looks after our cats, chickens and ducks as if they're her own. She provides updates every day, meaning we can relax and enjoy our holidays without any worries. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Peak Pet Services - a five star service from a real animal lover.
Amazing care for two very nervous cats, Claire has consistently looked after the cars while we have been away over a number of years, ensuring regular updates and pictures so we can be sure all is well. Can't recommend her highly enough.
Would highly recommend Claire. Professional, friendly and caring🥰 Kitties were very happy, safe and well cared for by Claire. We received updates of how they were🥰 Thank You Claire x …
A purrrfect service. Our cat wants to be adopted by this wonderful lady. Certainly not a fly-in-and-fly- out service! Our cat was given quality time. An excellent service.
I’m very pleased with Peak Pet Services. I was kept informed the whole visit about how my cat was, photos included, and I was so surprised that my cat actually ventured out of her safe space while Claire was there! I’ll definitely be using them again.
Amazing service. We have had a few pet sitters over the years but none have compared to Peak Pet Services. Claire always goes the extra mile. We felt completely at ease on hour holidays knowing our cats, rabbits, chickens and chameleon were being cared for so well. We got sent updates everyday and no pet sitter has ever spent the time getting to know our cats so well which was just so lovely to see them bond. If I could give more stars I would !
Excellent pet sitting! Claire from Peak Pet Services is an absolute gem, we’re so happy we found her. When we’re away we know that our cat is well looked after, happy and fed. Claire is really intuitive with our boy, and will follow his lead when she visits - sometimes he wants to play, sometimes he just wants a cuddle. She sends regular updates and takes (great!) photos of him on the days she visits, which is reassuring, and she is extremely flexible and happy to suit our timings and needs. We wouldn’t know what to do without her!
Excellent transport and assistance provided by Michael for my first ever dog! He drove from Sheffield to Canterbury, stopping off at two service stations so my dog could exercise and make some mess! The car used was very smart and comfortable.
I have had the most amazing trip to pick my puppy stray up from Zante and drive all the way back to Yorkshire. My driver/courier, Norman was fantastic. The whole process went smoothly, safely and was a trip of a lifetime. They organised every last detail to ensure the dog and myself were comfortable and well looked after. Highly recommend this fantastic company. Expensive but SO well worth it. Thank you.
I travelled with my dog from Sweden to Wales. They were very professional and organised and even remembered our names when we would call. No issues with booking etc. Were given plenty of information and contacted by the driver days before which was reassuring. He arrived in a branded van and clothes which reassured me (I am a young woman) and was very professional throughout. The van was clean and well equipped for transporting my dog and we took regular breaks around every 4 hours. Well worth the money and would definitely use c four paws again. Thanks/Diolch!
We had Milo collect from London on Sunday with two cages and a carry cage and lots of toys. Milo was perfectly happy and items were in good order. Collected on time and delivered on time. Excellent service and driver was very nice. Highly recommended for animal transport. Will definitely use again if the need arises. Good job thank you
Calagran Four Paws and my driver Will were absolutely amazing at handling our cross country transport for a long distance move. Having a rather large Staffy x Old Tyme, who had sadly had to be exempted due to her size, I was even terrified to take her on the road in anything other than proper transport. And with it being such a long way I wanted a safe long distance option also for all round safety and comfort. Our needs were catered for with the upmost care and Will was absolutely amazing with my nervousness and with my lovely girls nervy nature. I couldn't have been happier and I plan to travel with them again. I can highly recommend them.
I highly recommend this company. I just endured an incredibly stressful and long importation process into Europe and finally into the UK with my 3 med/large breed dogs. CFourPaws went above and beyond to help me logistically with things they really didn't have to and was outside of their services. Provided much needed emotional support and were empathetic to my unforeseen financial costs. Really without people like Keith and Greig, I may have crumbled under the stress of it all. BIg animal lovers, BIG hearts and can't fault them. Thanks CFourPaws x
I have been bringing my dogs here for a few years now. They are always happy to come back and I love that the kennels share photos with you of your pets. The drop-off was very useful
Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU. In a medical emergency you were the first kennels we found after literally 100's of phone calls with spare capacity to take Casper while his mum had an emergency operation to remove a brain tumour. The 10x photo's you sent us showing him happy & thoroughly enjoying a run in the secure field were a huge relief to his dad & a massive boost to his mum's immediate recovery.
We recently used C Four Paws to transport our dog Adi from Glasgow to Heathrow for her trip home to Canada. David was a very kind and professional driver and got us to the Kennel at Heathrow on time in spite of some unavoidable traffic delays along the way. We’re back home with Adeline safe and sound and are very grateful for having used the services of your company and David for the first leg of our trip.
An absolute lifesaver when it came to transporting me and my cats from Dublin to Somerset. There was fantastic communication the entire time during the booking process and our driver Clive was incredible! They made what was a very stressful move for me and my cats, a very easy time and I cannot thank Clive and the whole team enough.
I can’t recommend Petpals Buxton highly enough. They have walked our Beagle for the last few years and he is a difficult dog to walk. He is reactive and strong and they have always been patient and built trust with him. If you need a dog walker in the High Peak check them out.
I have used Deborah from Petpals Buxton regularly to look after my cat since I got her two years ago. It works very well as my rescue Luna much prefers being in her own home. Deborah is knowledgeable and flexible, and has sometimes extended her care or responded with short notice. A most valuable service for a single owner! Thank you.
We have had Deborah walking our dog Daisy for nearly two years now. Daisy is a bit of a difficult dog, quite nervous when out and meeting other dogs. With Deborah we feel at ease as we know that she understands our dogs special needs and would never get her in any unsafe situation with other dogs. Plus Daisy loves her! Would definitely recommend her!
Great service from Deborah at Buxton Petpals. So much better for our cats to be looked after in their own home which we are away. Deborah ran through everything with us and she has been flexible with days a couple of times when our return has been delayed. We absolutely recommend Buxton Petpals.
Since moving to Derbyshire 18months ago, with no family close by to look after our beloved cocker spaniel, PetPals Buxton have been our saviour! In all that time they have taken our dog out 4 times a week and have never once let us down. Deborah & Jo both leave notes when needed, but mostly to tell us what a wonderful time the dogs have had which is also evident from the photos and videos posted on Facebook. But the proof in the pudding is the fact that each morning about 1/2hr before pick up time, Rolo jumps onto the window seat in the kitchen with his chin rested on the windowsill waiting patiently for the Petpals van to arrive....... then gets very excited! We honestly couldn't do without them. Totally trustworthy and definitely recommend.
Debs 'cat-sat' our Rosie for a week, and we were really impressed by her professionalism and flexibility - we changed our plans a couple of times at the last minute and she didn't bat an eyelid! She also went that extra mile, putting some flowers that were delivered whilst we were away in a jar and bringing our post in. Will definitely ask her to look after Rosie again, highly recommended.
We are absolutely delighted with the care and service we receive from Petpals Buxton. It is very reassuring to know that our much loved dog is in great hands, he is a large breed and nothing is too much trouble for them. They write comments in a book so we know what he has done with them that day, we can also add comments too 😊 and view videos of him playing with his dog friends. We would have no hesitation recommending their service and thank them very much.
my girls love having deborah to stay, always peace of mind knowing they are well cared for, and the daily photos and videos are very welcome and reassuring to see them looked after and having fun. highly recommended
The last time I used this service for my cats I returned to empty water trays, a foul smelling sink full of water and wet cat food and a bath with an open bag of dirty cat litter in it. Not impressed at all plus the danger of dehydrated cats. Would not use again.
Deborah & team are fab, reliable and great with my pooch, would recommend 👍 …
Jo has looked after our rabbits many times. She is fantastic with them. Your fur babies will be in safe hands while you’re away.
Jo always provides a friendly service that has at times gone beyond our expectations. She does a super job looking after our cats. One of which is old and needs a little extra care. We highly recommend Critter Creche.
Jo looked after our two bunnies and we couldn't recommend her enough. They had a lovely space with indoor and outdoor runs, and clearly had a great time as it was difficult to get them back in their carrier to come home! Thank you again Jo for looking after Gatsby and Daisy!
Excellent customer service. Will always go out of her way to support her customers. Always calm environment and extremely friendly welcoming place .
We send our guinea pigs to Jo every time we are away from home, usually several times a year. Jo offers an excellent and affordable service and I always enjoy a chat with her on drop off and pick up. She is friendly and easy to communicate with. I have complete trust in her care while we are away and would recommend her service to anyone looking for boarding for their small animals. Thanks, Jo!
Fabulous, looked after my tortoise Flash so well. I felt comfortable leaving him there. They even sent a settling in photo!
I was very pleased to see the arrangements Jo had made for my rabbit's recent stay. The pen was spacious with a number of activities to keep my bunny occupied. And there was an outdoor area in the daytime too. I was also impressed by the updates provided by Jo. I was nervous about leaving my rabbit with a new person but a combination of Jo's friendly professionalism and seeing the accommodation put me fully at ease. I'll look forward to the next occasion.
Booked our 2 bunnies in the superior accommodation over Easter this year, and what a lovely time they had! The views are amazing there, and they had lots of space indoor, and out, for them to run around. Very affordable luxury, and they were so well looked after, even had their toe nails clipped! Can't recommend enough. They will be returning again this year for another holiday. Thanks Jo :-)x
Our bunnies love going on holiday to Critter Creche! Extremely well run, and well looked after. Jo is an absolute professional, and has earned our complete trust. We wouldn't know what to do without you Jo! Thank you!
Looked after our two gerbils for a couple of weeks. Very happy with their care. Jo was really nice and my seven year old son is smitten. Will definitely use again.
Vinnie loves going here, the staff look after him so well. He isn't desperate to get away when we pick him up so that's a good sign too! We will use this kennels everytime.
My two dogs have just stayed here we travelled from Newcastle to high peak for a family party never left them in kennels before but was so pleased with the kennels the staff were all great and looked after all the dogs so well I would def recommend the kennels to anyone looking for good service and lovely staff thank you all
Our two dogs were there for two weeks. Lots of wagging tails when we picked them up. Will definitely use them again.
We booked our working collie in for 8 nights whilst we went on holiday. Our girl is very very anxious and nervous of new people! But she was extremely well looked after and catered for whilst staying at Higher Brookhouse. We would 110% recommend here to anyone! We will also be using HB kennels again in the future. Thanks so much for looking after our girl so well. X
Naomi and her team are brilliant! Our two dogs loved staying here at brookhouse Kennels. They came home looking very well looked after and happy. Definitely wouldn’t use anywhere else from now on.
Naomi is amazing with our two hounds. They absolutely love coming to the kennels and really enjoy their time. We have no doubt our dogs are really cared for. The communication and flexibility from Naomi is fantastic. Would never use anywhere else. I wouldn't trust any negative reviews !!! Go and see the kennels for yourself and you'll see!!
Thank you for looking after are Basil will definitely be back next time we are in the peaks
We are regular customers of Higher Brook House Kennels.Naomi and the team are fantastic.Our dogs Freddy and Holly love going there.They are always so happy and well looked after.Sometimes they don't want to leave.The kennels are of a high standard and the needs of each dog is catered for. Highly recommend this lovely place !
Excellent service. Dogs go in happy and don’t want to come home
Excellent! The only kennel I can leave my dogs without worrying, they are happy to be left. Amazing location and paddock for them to be off lead and play. Food is included so one less thing to think about, very reasonably priced. The fact that one dog is reactive isn't an issue, she even manages to get along with the other dogs there.
My dog has the best time here. Tom and Sophie are amazing and the space available for the dogs is great. Great value for money and my dog is incredibly happy there! And incredibly tired when he gets home 😊 …
My dog Travis has just returned from his second stay with Sophie and Tom and the Just Dogs team. He has clearly been very well looked after. It was reassuring to have daily updates on Facebook with some fantastic photos which confirm how happy he was. I simply wouldn't leave him anywhere else.
Our 2 Frenchies went for the weekend and had the best time. Just Dogs were so attentive, asking detailed questions before to make sure the dogs felt at home whilst they were there. I felt so relaxed about leaving them. Videos were posted on Facebook so I could see them playing. A great experience.
The girls treat Lily like one of their own. It's amazing to see the care and attention they give to each of the dogs they look after. Lily comes home shattered everyday. We love Sophie and Katherine.
Luna absolutely loves it. Tom and Sophie are lovely people. Totally trust them with my Border Collie, Luna
My dog Charlie loves going to just dogs he would go everyday if I would let him Sophie and Kat are excellent with any dog they look after . I would give it ten stars keep up the good work girls
Flexible and friendly. Our dog (Meg) is so excited to get in there and play with her friends. Great photos on Facebook every day too! Highly recommended.
Really great experience. Would recommend to anyone. I feel so comfortable knowing my dogs are being taken care of by Just Dogs.
My dogs love it here. Can’t recommend them enough. Absolutely amazing time for dogs. Lovely friendly caring place. Wouldn’t put my dogs anywhere else
The places unbelievable my dog have been two times now and difference in her behaviour and obedience is unbelievable when I drive up to the place she can't wait to get out the car and get inside
I was very nervous about leaving our Fox Red Lab (Eddie) when we went away for two weeks and did quite a bit of research. I needn’t had been worried. Eddie loved being with Francesca and her guests so much that I am not sure he wanted to come home. He has stayed there again in September. This is the only place I will allow him to board.
5 stars ✨ 100% recommend. My border collie Cooper has gone to Peak Boarding a few times when we've been on holiday. The facilities Francesca has for the dogs is practically a 5 star hotel. Cooper is in his absolute element being able to run around the private fields they own with his dog friends. He always happily goes off when dropping him there and returns happy too!
Paradise for dogs, my two always come back tired and happy with some lovely photos of them roaming around in the fields! I have complete trust in Peak Boarding, it will always be my first choice for dog sitting when we are away.
Can't praise Peak Boarding highly enough, our labrador has been visiting for several years now and we always feel so confident he is in the safest hands with Fran. Her care and the facilities are second to none.
Honestly I can't recommend Peak Boardings enough. We have two dogs and Francesca makes sure each of their needs are met no matter what. The dogs settled in with no hesitation from day one and anyone who has dogs will know you can't make them like somewhere! Whether they have stayed for one night or 7 nights they have a happy funfilled stay and always come home exhausted 🥰
A 5* boarding ‘hotel’ for dogs. Fantastic facilities and Francesca is an exceptional, experienced and caring host. Highly recommended 👏👏👏 …
Great place for dogs, like a 5 star hotel Definitely recommended
Just the best
My two dogs had a great time here. Nicolette is obviously a dog lover and really understands them. They both came home super happy, and she was so lovely with them. We recently drove near and they got so excited when they saw where we were. Definitely recommend Cosy Kennels if you’re looking for a home away from home for your fur babies.
Took my dog Saffy to cosy kennels while we were on holiday I was so anxious about sending her as she is so nervous of people .I needn’t of worried Nicollette was so kind and patient with Saffy . I had many videos sent of Saffy enjoying her many walks with the other dogs . I would have no hesitation in booking her back when we go away again.
Brand new Kennels and fantastic service for our Dogs! 🐕🐕 Will definitely be coming back whenever we need home boarding in the future! …
As good as it gets. Home away from home for dogs. Takes away the stress and guilt of leaving your your pal behind.
I can’t say enough wonderful things about Doodlebells Doggy Day Care! From the moment I dropped off my pupper, it was clear this place is run by true dog lovers who genuinely care about every furry guest. My boy, is usually a little shy in new environments, but Jasmine made him feel right at home with her warm smiles and gentle care. The walks she takes the dogs on are nothing short of amazing – scenic trails and open fields where the pups can stretch their legs and enjoy nature. My pupper comes home happy and tired from all the fun adventures! One of my favorite parts is the photo updates Jasmine sends throughout the day. Seeing my dog having the time of his life brings me so much joy and peace of mind. The facilities are clean, well-organised, and filled with toys, cozy spots, and plenty of room for the dogs to play. Jasmine is incredibly attentive, ensuring each dog is comfortable, safe, and loved. It’s clear she treats every dog as if it were her own. If you’re looking for a doggy day care where your pup will be cared for like family, enjoy fantastic walks, and get lots of love and attention, Doodlebells is the place to be. I couldn’t be happier, and neither could my pupper! 🐶❤️
Jasmine looked after our dog for the day whilst we were on holiday and took a trip to Alton Towers. Jasmine has a lovely manor about her, and I felt completely at ease leaving Rosie with her. Rosie was nervous at first, but Jasmine was patient with her and gave Rosie the time to settle. Rosie was incredibly happy and chilled when we picked her up. Thank you Jasmine ❤️
We left Pixel for the day with Jasmine while we went to Chatsworth. We had been worried about leaving him somewhere new but as soon as we met Jasmine we felt comfortable and happy to let him spend the day - which he did with great gusto! One tired and happy pup on collection. Thank you Jasmine, we would definitely recommend you and bring Pixel to you again next time we are in the area.
Very caring attitude towards my dogs, all dogs very happy to spend time with them 😊
