Lola and Dino are wonderful… I really had the loveliest few days with them. They’re both cuddly, loving and each have such great little unique quirks about them. They’re great company as someone who works from home and easy and fun to walk too. The location is fab, lovely walks along the beach, I took them 3 x per day with some ball throwing, they love walks! Ari was amazing to deal with, great communication and instructions and really just everything was great. I hope to see Lola and Dino again!
Bobbie was a great communicator and let me know everything I needed to get to her place. I was fortunate to spend a couple of hours with her and Onie and Daisy going through everything. Both Daisy and Onie were so sweet and required only feeding and love. Bobbie's house was warm and had a great artsy feel. She has just renovated it and it is delightful. The hot tub was especially welcome. She is only 20 minutes away from Glenwood Springs pool spa, a natural hot springs that flows through a giant pool. Thank you Bobbie for choosing me and letting me stay with your sweet fur babies!
Jennifer was easy to communicate with, and very friendly. The home was clean and tidy when we arrived. There are beautiful views from several rooms in the house, and the neighborhood is quiet. The dog Bodie is amazing, he is well trained, loves walks and is very chill. It was a great stay.

Truly remarkable is one word amongst many that springs to mind to describe this day care for pups 🐾If it wasn’t for Happy Hounds I wouldn’t be able to go into the office knowing my beloved Nova is cared for 🥰 and feels secure. She suffers from anxiety and cry’s non stop if left alone so this place is a life saver. They literally love her like she was there own. I love the little updates they do especially the effort they go to for Birthdays I’m definitely booking Nova in for her puppy birthday just so she can eat cake and wear a silly hat 🎂
Happy hounds is the best doggy day care in Herts. The team are absolutely fantastic! My pup adores trotting off to day care and playing with all the other dogs. Her confidence has improved so much. The enrichment they provide for the dogs is amazing (they have given me a lot of ideas of things I can try at home to keep my pup entertained) The pupdates and little photoshoots they do are brilliant. The set up is very well run and organised and you know your puppy is in great hands. The booking system is very user friendly, and they are very reasonably priced. If you need a doggy day care send your pup to Happy hounds, where the team will love and care for your dog as much as you do. You won’t regret it! Couldn’t recommend them enough. 5*
Happy Hounds Herts has truly become a second home for our little Betty, and we’re so grateful to have found them! From the moment we drop her off, we know she’s surrounded by people who genuinely care for her as if she were their own. Betty absolutely lights up when we arrive—she can’t wait to get through the door! The team at Happy Hounds Herts gives her all the love, attention, and care she needs. It’s such a relief to know she’s in such good hands, and she always comes home happy and well-exercised. We couldn’t ask for a better place for Betty. Thank you, Happy Hounds Herts, for all that you do!
We have been using Happy Hounds for our dog, Rupert, for 3 years and we cannot fault the care at all - it’s second to none. Georgie and the team cater to not only our dogs (particularly fussy) needs but to all of the dogs. They provide a detailed handover at the end of the day with details of Rupert’s escapades and particular achievements of that day, and also quickly address and follow up any concerns that they may have. There are also photo and video updates each day to keep you updated on your dogs’ day. They provide a stimulating, varied environment but also ensure that all of the dogs participate in rest time to ensure the dogs get the rest they need and do not become overwhelmed or overstimulated. Our dog absolutely loves attending daycare, he cannot wait to get out of the car when we pull up and races to the door, pawing at the gate if one of the girls are not (in his opinion) quick enough to let him in. They have high expectations of each dog’s’ behaviour to ensure that all are safe and happy at all times. We can’t thank each and every one of the team enough for their continued hard work🐾
Love the flexibility! I love that you can book on an app and reschedule etc (within reason of course!), and know that my dog will be well looked after and come home content and tired from a days play. Also the photo updates, esp birthday and Christmas photos are my absolute favourites
We (Tulips & Tails Pet Photography) have now done three Photo Shoot days at Happy Hounds and it is clear to see that they have a great understanding of doggy behaviour and enrichment. The pups all seem happy and confident and the staff are all great with them and very clearly understand all of their individual needs. The owner Georgie is very helpful, well organised and runs a tight ship! We can't wait to come back again next year!
Milo thoroughly enjoys his days at HHH he loves all his Aunties that work there . Milo suffers with separation anxiety but will happily attend daycare . Nothing is too much trouble for Gemma and the girls who go out of their way to look after the dogs in their care. Wouldn’t know what to do without them. The Hudson’s
We have been so happy with leaving our pup at happy hounds. We were worried about leaving her but ever since we met with the team and she had her settling in days we haven’t looked back. Highly recommend ❤️
Amazing doggy day care! Our dog has been going to HHH for almost 2 years and she absolutely loves it. The staff are all kind and caring. They go above beyond for each dog’s birthday and you get to see photos of what they get up to everyday, which is just wonderful. We couldn’t be happier with HHH’s services and can’t thank everyone working there enough for creating such a wonderful atmosphere for our dog Luna. X
Best doggy day care! Nancy loves going and I know she's incredibly well looked after. She always comes home happy and tired! Extremely professional and all the staff are very kind and friendly. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend Happy Hounds!
Me and my friend left our pets with Ria and she was fab with them.
We did a trial night with Eva (our 4 yr old Golden Retriever). Her first kennel experience. I think she got a little stressed, she wet her bed there and came home having lost her voice...too much barking I suppose, and she's not much of a barker. And she's never had to go to the toilet on concrete before, so she must have held it in for as long as she could, poor thing. But she was fit and very happy! 3 weeks later we went back for the real deal, a full week in kennels! Eva dragged me from the car to the building...a good sign! And she was happy to be dropped off. It was only once we got back from holiday I looked on Facebook and saw lots of Eva having a great time on walks and in the river (on lead). I wish I knew about the FB posts while I was away! Eva was happy to see me, a little smelly but nothing a bath didn't fix and her bark had gone again. I was told she settled in much better the second time and she was certainly very happy around all the very friendly staff. I chose kennels rather than friends or house sitters to avoid the chance of being let down at the last minute before holidays. First time in kennels so I was a little worried, but had no reason to be at all and will definitely use Mimram again! (Pictures here taken on walks with Mimram Kennels)
We have used Mimram for our last and current dog and both pull to go in and never look back when the guys take them off to their kennel. Dogs come out happy and clean. We love the Facebook posts and photos they put up showing our dog having fun
Staff seem like lovely people but seem not to fully listen to you and your wishes for your dogs. Dogs also came home with quite bad with kennel cough which had apparently only came on a day before pick up but symptoms were already pretty bad? So made me think could have been longer. Another lady was also dropping off her dog at the time of my pick up and they didn’t even make her aware this was going around in the kennels until I had spoken up in the reception.
Helped me out at very late notice which meant I was still able to go on holidays. Very helpful. Reasonably price and my dogs very well looked after. Great team
Excellent service by staff who really love and care for dogs. Our Cavapoo gets so excited to come here every time she stays
I viewed two daycare centres, Mimram being the 2nd and as soon as I arrived I knew it was the one. The place had a real charm about it with very good outdoor space and the individual kennels having outdoor sections as well. The people at the kennels were very friendly and knowledgeable and clearly loved all the dogs....so I gave it a try and my ten month Lab pup spent his first day there, when I arrived to collect him he was waggytails and seemed very happy and relaxed and I later saw lovely pics on their Facebook of my boy enjoying outdoor time in their field. However I thought the real test would be Loki's reaction when I took him back. Well all I can say is that the boy did not look back, he happily trotted off again all waggytails with one of the staff members and not once did he look back, he was actually pulling at the lead to go in...you can't really get much more of an endorsement than that!
Great kennels and my dog absolutely loves staying here- he even cries when he has to leave. All staff are very friendly and knowledgeable and the photos to Facebook of the dog's play sessions are a nice bonus too
We (and Teddy!) love Mimram! So good to have a local family run kennels - the team are lovely & Teddy goes running in every time so that’s the ultimate 5* review…(he hasn’t learned to type yet 🐾) …
We're so happy we found Mimram, our little dog Wilson is very nervous and they handle him with such care, empathy and patience. The staff are so friendly and always update their Facebook page with pup-dates which we looked forward to every other day while we were on holiday. Thank you for all being so kind and looking after our little boy, we can't thank you enough ❤️
Excellent kennels Bruce and staff take good care of your pets
We couldn't have been happier with Michelle’s care for our 9 month old black lab pup. We felt reassured for our 10 days away. Michelle sent photos and videos. The pup slept in a lovely spacious room with a large crate and had a long walk every day. It was great to know she was being well cared for in a homely, family environment. Thanks Michelle - we’ll be back!
Amazing care from Michelle whenever she has looked after our dog, Coco for us. Each time Coco has stayed, we have been sent regular updates, pictures and/or videos which gives us peace of mind and reassurance. Coco's confidence has grown since staying with Michelle, and she is more relaxed and comfortable in the company of other dogs. Cannot recommend Michelle highly enough.
We really couldn't be happier with the service Michelle provides. Our 2 year old lab, Lola stayed with Michelle for 2 weeks while we were on holiday. It was the longest she has stayed away from us, and we were really quite worried about leaving her for so long. After a trail day, I could tell that Lola absolutely loved being at Michelle's. When we took her for the full 2 week stay, she was immediately at home, and didn't even notice us go! All of the photos and videos that Michelle sent us showed that Lola was having an amazing time. Michelle loves all the dogs that stay with her, and they get treated as if they are her own. Thank you very very much Michelle!
As a dog owner all you want is for your dog to be safe, happy, entertained, and well looked after when you are away on holiday, and this is exactly what I got for my labradoodle! Michelle sent regular videos showing our dog clearly having her own lovely holiday when we were away which always put a smile on my face. I actually think she is now a bit bored she’s home! Thanks so much Michelle.
We are very happy that we contacted Michelle on a recommendation from our dog walker. Our dog has now stayed at Michelle's house on a couple of occasions and she has had a great time. She settles in straight away and gets on great with Michelle's pets. They go for lovely walks and gets well looked after. I would definitely recommend Happy Pet People.
My dog Milo stayed with Michelle for over 2 weeks and I couldn’t have been happier. Even from the start the thorough checks and trials to make sure myself and Milo were happy. The videos and contact whilst away was great and made me at ease the whole time. Amazing service and feel so happy now I have someone I can trust every-time we go away :) Would definitely recommend
My 2 year old sproodle can be slightly ‘challenging’ sometimes so was worried about how he’d be in a new setting but Michelle sent me lots of great videos of him having the best time ever, running around off lead and he made some great friends whilst at it! Michelle spent 1 on 1 time with Buddy to work on his confidence and obedience which I hugely appreciate ♥️
Michelle does an excellent job looking after dogs. She understands and dedicated her time to understanding the different needs of individual dogs and creates a fun and fulfilling atmosphere for all!
Michelle looked after my mini golden doodle for two weeks over Christmas. He was extremely well looked after, he had lots of exercise and she sent me regular photos and videos which was lovely and enabled me to relax and enjoy my holiday knowing he was happy and well looked after. I definitely recommend her and have already booked him in for this year! Tracey B
Michelle looked after our 5 month old puppy. He spend the whole day playing and had such a good time. Michelle kept us up to date with pictures and videos as it was the first time we left him overnight. Would highly recommend.
I'd give 6 stars or more if it was possible, utterly professional but, with an obvious care and love. Carly stepped at at ridiculously short notice to sit for my young female cat. This was my first time using a service like this so was nervous, I needn't have been. I've made sure to ask about future cover, just in case this hidden gem gets too popular!!!
Carly is absolutely fantastic and I highly recommend her. So if you're looking for a pet sitter, what are you waiting for?
Very caring and professional pet sitter...would recommend to anyone.
My mischief stayed here for two weeks, can't rate them highly enough!! Timi and Paul are lovely and took such good care of the girls, sending video compilations of their play time and any cute/funny moments. They also made sure to accommodate their vitamins and discussed what I would want should they need the vet, very thorough and professional!
This has been my first time using a rat boarding service, and I needn't look anywhere else! Friendly, professional, knowledgeable, and happy to accommodate any rat's specific needs. (One of my boys required meds twice daily.) I was able to settle the boys into their cage, which gave me peace of mind to see where they would be staying. The cage was laid out very well - I only had to bring hammocks and water bottles for them. My boys stayed for eight nights. I received regular updates together with some videos of them with treats or out on free-roam. I can't recommend Coco's enough.
First time leaving our rats and had absolutely no worries about them while we were away as we were sent regular updates and videos! They were so well cared for and happy! I’m sure they’ve come home even more confident than before. Would 100% recommend Coco’s!
Our two boys recently stayed for a four nights and I can't fault the care they were given at all. Timi and Paul went over and above looking after our boys and the videos we received of their free roam time were amazing. Timi and Paul also gave us lots of helpful advice and are genuinely the nicest people ever! Would definitely recommend and would certainly use Coco's Rat Resort again! Thank you once more for looking after Reggie and Remie!
We used Coco's Rat boarding recently for our 2 girls whilst we were away on a holiday and we had an amazing experience! Timi and Paul are very professional and clearly possess a lot of knowledge and experience of working with rats. They were incredibly patient and kind towards our girls, considering how shy they are with new people. We also got daily updates from them with videos of playtime, which was very reassuring! Big thank you again Timi and Paul 😊
I recently used Cocos Rat Resort to board our three does whilst we were away over Easter. I was nervous as our rats really are part of our family, but I needn't have worried. The 5* reviews on here are spot on. The whole process was made so easy for us - the girls quite obviously had a great time and it was wonderful for my young children to see the array of videos showing their rats getting up to mischief whilst we were away! I wholeheartedly recommend and have already booked them in for their next stay over the Summer. Thank you Paul and Timea!
Can’t recommend Paul & Timi at Coco’s Rat resort more highly! Great communication, highly professional and most importantly really care for the little rodents in your life taking time to play with them outside the cage and even share great videos whilst we were away. One downside is that I think our rats may have enjoyed their holiday more than we did!
Highly recommend! Very lovely people, perfectly set up cage for my 3 boys when arrived and kept up to date daily with videos and messages. They can’t wait for their next holiday in a few months 🥰 …
I recently used Cocos Rat Resort to board my group of 4 rats, after struggling to find suitable rat sitters. Timea & her partner were very friendly, flexible, and helpful. It was such a relief to not have to bring our own cage, as one is already provided, fully set up with an active layout. All I had to bring was hammocks, food, and water bottles! They had even made it accessible for my boy with HLD. Throughout the week I was sent photos and videos of my boys having the best time, and it was a comfort to know that they were being well cared for by somebody with extensive rat experience. I'd definitely recommend Cocos Rat Resort, and I wouldn't hesitate to use them again.
Coco's was recommended to me by the breeder of my rats, and it was absolutely excellent. Paul & Timi were so helpful with the booking and flexible with the drop off/collection arrangements. The rats themselves got to stay in a very well equipped cage (I took away some ideas 🙂) and appeared to have a fantastic time. They're booked in for their next visit already.
My 6.5 month old puppy goes to Megs once a week and he loves it. He plays in the garden, goes to the park and woods for adventures, gets lots of attention and snuggles and meets other dogs. Meg sends pupdates during the day and it's obvious she adores dogs. Best of all, he's knackered that evening and most of the next day too.
Megan was the perfect sitter for our dog, Teddy. He’s quite a big dog but Megan was more than happy to look after him and he had a great time with her. She was very friendly, excellent with Teddy and I was grateful for her flexibility in arranging the logistics. She kept us updated with messages and photos while we were out and this was much appreciated. Will definitely be using her again and would highly recommend!
Rocky had her first day at Meg’s a few months back and she really enjoyed it! She’s a very timid dog but once she gets to know you she really comes out of her shell. It’s so nice to have someone I can trust with Rocky. I loved getting the little updates throughout the day. Highly recommend Four Legs & Meg and won’t hesitate to use again. Thank you again x
Meg looks after my Fox Terrier Rufus and he loves going there. Meg really understands him and I feel totally relaxed when he is there. I would definitely recommend Meg if you are looking for someone who cares as much about your dog as you do. It’s like a home from home.
Leia had a few stays at Megan’s and we are so happy about it! We had an hour assessment for Leia to meet Megan and Finn to make sure they get along before Leia actually stayed there. As Leia is quite young so we were kind of worried, but during the stays we received photos and updates regularly, it’s reassuring and we can tell Leia really enjoyed the stays! Because of the stays, Leia managed to get over the difficulties that pups have with meeting other dogs and became much more confident! It’s also a nice family home! Honestly we are so glad that we found Megan, she is so good with dogs and nice, we 100% trust her, we already booked in a few stays for Leia, definitely recommended!
Meg looks after my little 6 month old puppy Otis on a weekly basis when I have to go to work. Otis absolutely loves going to see Meg for daycare and runs all the way from the car into the house. I 100% trust Meg with him and am so grateful to have found her. The thing I value most is Meg’s flexibility. Sometimes I have last minute changes to my schedule which mean I need to book Otis in for extra days and she is always so accommodating. Thank you!
Meg is absolutely brilliant and we couldn't recommend her more - our pup Eric always has the best time and Meg is wonderful, and also regularly sends photos and videos of what our boy has been up to! Would highly recommend.
Chrissy of Zen Dogs came and stayed in our home to look after our two spaniels whilst we went to Greece this summer. We left feeling relaxed and were confident that the dogs were in good hands whilst in her care. As Chrissy was staying in our home, she also looked after it, she watered our garden and vegetables and looked after the PH of our hot tub. The dogs love Chrissy and enjoyed lovely walks with her and swims in the paddling pool. Chrissy updated us with photographs and messages on the dogs progress. When she came by last Sunday the dogs were so excited to see her, you could see the genuine love they have for her. I can highly recommend Chrissy of Zen dogs to look after your pets. Photos submitted taken by Chrissy.
I can not recommend Chrissie more highly. My pets and my home are well cared for by her when we are away. The animals love her so I know she treat them well, I trust her completely to stay in my home and she sends an update to let me know all is well. Chrissie has helped me out when I’ve really needed, you can go away and totally relax as everything is in great hands.
Chrissie did a fantastic job of making sure our two cats were well loved while we were away. Highly recommend her services and we be recommending her to our friends and family Thanks again
My princess Ellie and I both adore Chrissie, - great doggie care and house-sitting - she is awesome!
