Greg and Cindy were absolutely brilliant, we would highly recommend them to anyone! Their communication from our very first message all the way up until after the sit was finished was excellent. Greg and Cindy kept us updated on their travel plans as they booked their trip and as they travelled across Europe to us, reassuring us that they would make it to mind our furbabies no matter what :) Throughout their sit we got regular updates and our pets looked like they were living their best lives. They were very attentative to all our pets, giving great care and love as if they were their own. The house was spotless when we are arrived home and any instructions that we left were followed exactly. Greg & Cindy are very independent, responsible, caring housitters! We were able to completely relax while away knowing our pets and home were in good hands. We would love to have them again any time!
Barb came for a second time, albeit this time without her husband and was wonderful to work with. Due to the pandemic, my actual business trip was cancelled, but we agreed she would come anyway to take care of the dogs and cats so that I could concentrate on setting up the new office after moving it the week before. It is always easier to have a returning housesitter and this worked out well for all. We got on well, staying at my place, and she went beyond the call of duty. Not only taking care of the pets, preparing dinner, etc. but she helped out as well by putting IKEA flatpacks together even beyond the original sit dates - thank you!! I would not hesitate to work with Barb and Jim again and highly recommend them.
Is it better to board cats or leave at home?
Veterinarians advising to leave cats at home with a pet sitter who will stay overnight in your home, boarding is not recommended for cats as they are stressed in a new environment, you can find a sitter who will care for your cats and home overnight at Sittsy.
How much should you pay someone to watch your cat?
At least 19.99 per visit, per overnight watching in your home, otherwise you can find a free sitter at Sittsy.
What do people do with their cats when they go on vacation?
Inviting a cat sitter to your home, boarding the cat with a local business, asking a friend, family or neighbour to feed and check the well-being. The most efficient way to leave your cat during your vacation is with Sittsy cat sitters overnight, in this way, you will save cat sitting costs and make vacation not only for you but also for your cat sitter!
Ladybird Kennels is amazing! My partner and I previously put our German Shepherd (Scarlet) into a different kennels last year which resulted in a horrific experience and we are pretty certain our dog was mistreated. We were so stressed to leave her anywhere else after that but Ladybird Kennels has completely restored our faith in kennels. We had a wedding in Croatia so we knew that she needed to stay somewhere we felt was safe and caring. Ladybird Kennels came highly recommended by friends and family. I’m so glad we decided to book her in there. Everyone we interacted with were so lovely and understanding, they kept us updated about Scarlet throughout her stay and sent us some pictures of her playing. When we picked her up, she smelt nice and clean (they potentially washed her for us) and had trimmed her nails. She had the best time and we will definitely be bringing her back to them. I can’t thank everyone at Ladybird Kennels enough for being patient with us and Scarlet and for giving her an amazing time ♥️
Our cat, Ziggy, is a shy chap and doesn't take easily to new people. We need not have worried. He enjoyed his time there and insisted on a cuddle from Adam before he came home. He will be going there again for his holidays, and he doesn't seem so shy anymore. Well done to all the staff. 10/10
My cat is back from another stay at Ladybirds and I cannot praise them enough! My cat has come back in excellent condition and happy, the pens are immaculate and the staff are lovely. I would never use anywhere else and always feel content when my cat goes to stay at Ladybirds. Thank you ☺️
The staff seemed to be genuinely caring, apart from the girl in the red car, ‘Jobsworth’ - she knows what she did. We were promised regular photos but this didn’t happen. Would I entrust this place with our munchkin again? Doubtful.
My cats have been very well looked after during their stay at Ladybird! The staff loved having them, it was so clear to see how much they enjoyed looking after my cats. They give a thorough update when you collect your pet (I chose not to call during my trip) and also helped me with bringing items to my car. After a disastrous stay at a different cattery last year, I am confident leaving my cats at Ladybird!
We are consistently so impressed by Ladybird! They really look after our cat, he’s known to them by name and they all welcome him with so much love. We have no anxieties at all about leaving him there. You can tell how well the animals are looked after, especially when you see a returning doggie excited to enter in reception! Overall, fabulous staff and lovely facilities!
Highly recommend this lovely place! Our tortoise boarded for a week during the spring and two weeks in the summer for the first time and was extremely well looked after. The staff are so friendly and reassuring and regularly keep us updated during our pet’s stay. A fantastic facility and will definitely use again!
They had my dog for 8 days, good facilities, great staff; very helpful and friendly, absolutely adored my dog. My staffy came back to me happy and tired (which is a rarity!). Staff will do their best to accommodate you if your plans change, and don't mind the occasional check-up call about your pets! Lovely kennels. Will happily use again!
Thank you so much for looking after my two tortoises for a few days. I am sure that they had a wonderful time with you. Such a lovely setting and perfect carers. I will definitely use you again. Unfortunately I cannot bring my dog to you as so many other people want her if we go away without her.
We wouldn’t trust our cat being looked after by anyone else other than Ladybird. All the staff are so attentive and caring. Our nervous cat has been coming here for years now and he settles in straight away. The staff are always happy to reply to my messages asking how he’s enjoying his stay. 5 star!
So glad we found we love pets! Shirley and the team walk and board our dachshund Gravy and do both with the upmost care and dedication. Gravy can be a little bit nervous but the team at love pets are always so loving and understanding. She loves both her walks and going on her holidays!
During our holiday Shirley was taking care of our pet cat, snake and fish. I can't be more grateful for this lovely lady's help. Animals loved her, and we were receiving daily updates and pics too! Very professional and affordable. We will definitely ask for Shirley's help again and would recommend her to anyone who's looking for holiday with a peace of mind. Here's a couple of pics shared by Shirley :-)
I can't praise Shirley highly enough. She cat-sat for my moggy, Dave, for 5 days last week (my first time leaving him overnight - gulp) and provided THE BEST service. She took the time to bond with him and sent me daily photos and updates. She even made an additional visit at very short notice. I would recommend her to anyone.
Can't recommend the service highly enough. Shirley was brilliant to communicate with and visited our puppy multiple times to get to know her and how we were training her. Liz is also brilliant and sends us photos and updates when she walks our puppy, we've seen the effort Liz has been putting in to training her every day and she's turning into a lovely dog. Very trusted, reliable, flexible and definitely go the extra mile.
Shirley has been doing house visits for our cat and I highly recommend her. She's very professional, easy to communicate with and has given us updates while we've been away. She's been fantastic and we will always go to her first now when away for short breaks.
Would definitely recommend! We had Shirley and Liz pop in to see our dog and stop him being lonely while my parents were away and they were great! Regularly sending updates and photos and even called to tell us they thought he needed to see a vet as he seemed unwell. As they were worried they even waited with him until one of us got home and we were so glad we took him to the vet when they suggested. The ladies even kept in touch afterwards to check he was getting better. It's reassuring to know our dog is being cared for by his new friends when they visit and you can tell they really care!
Our little terrier loves coming to stay with Shirley when we’re away. Shirley clearly loves dogs, is responsive on email, and great at communicating with regular updates and videos while we’re away. Highly recommend.
I used Shirley from We Love Pets to look after my cat whilst I was away on holiday. Her cat sitter Laura came in twice a day without fail and fed my cat, cleaned the litter and gave her some love and attention. Everything was clean and tidy upon my return. Wouldn't fault them and will use again. Awesome.
So happy with the service Shirley provides, we get regular updates and can feel at ease knowing they are walking our dog daily and really looking after her. i can really see a difference in my dog when i get home - she is relaxed and happy! thank you so much Shirley and her team!
Lola loves her walks with Shirley and Laura. She is much happier on a 1-2-1 walk rather than in a group. We get photos updating us on what happened on their walk. Best decision we have made. Trustworthy and reliable. Thank you.
Steph and Laura took my Labrador for a walk for 2 weeks of my holiday and he absolutely loved them. He can be a bit nervous but he was fine with these lovely ladies. They made him feel very safe and calm. It was a great relief for me to know he was so happy when I was away. I received some photos of Bracken too which was great. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend these ladies to anyone and will definitely be using them again.
Brilliant service! Lovely ladies. Very reliable and friendly. Thanks!
Walkies
Thank you for your rating 👍🏻😊🐶 …
This is a great place for journey anywhere from this station. You can get two type trains from this station such as Greater Anglia and Elizabeth line .
I feel very lucky to have Lin looking after our dog, Smithy. Lin is very punctual, reliable and goes above and beyond to ensure Smithy is well looked after. She has become a part of his family as well as ours. We trust her completely with our home as well as our beloved pet. I can't recommend her enough. Please free to contact me to share my experience.
Auntie Lin has been housesitting and looking after our beloved dog when we are away for the last 4 years. It's great to know your dog is comfortable in his own home when you are on holiday and an added bonus that your home isn't left empty...
I have used Lin on and off for my cat sitting when I need to be out if town and my cat Jack has been well looked after and enjoys Lin's company. She provides and excellent service and prices are very good. Thank you Lin
Excellent Service, My dog loves his walks with Lin. Very helpful & accommodating! And above all Lin provides a punctual, consistent and professional Service.
I was very happy leaving Lin to walk my dog I am very fussy about who I leave my dog with but with Lin I felt very confident and have already booked her again for my next holiday.
Lin walks my dog sophie and is brilliant with her dogs and customers, very friendly and helpful. Thank you.
Brilliant service, highly recommend. Can go away with peace of mind that our little Frank will be looked after in the comfort of her own home.
Takes too many dogs out in one go , cancelled my dog because we kicked out her cowboy builder as he done a rubbish job! Not very professional!
Highly recommend.
I would thoroughly recommend Marion. Such a warm and caring person and my dog Chester took to her straight away. This was the first time he has stayed with Marion and he has obviously been so well looked after and enjoyed all the lovely walks and attention. Marion has great communication and attention to detail and loves all the dogs she looks after. Thank you Marion, hope Chester will stay with you again in the future!
Our Cavapoo Jaspa, stayed overnight with Marion for the first time. He had a wonderful stay with lots of walks & love. He met a new friend Dotty who was also staying in the daytime. We found Marion very caring and attentive, her house is so comfy & very dog friendly. Jaspa had a great stay, we would definitely use Marion again & happily recommend to others. Stephen.
We have more of a small horse than a dog. Some people can be intimidated by big dogs. Not Marion, she took such amazing care of Ted for us. Looked after him better than we do ourselves! Regular updates throughout his stay. Will definitely be using Marion again… Ted loved staying. Thank you!
Marion was recommended by a friend. We needed someone to look after our 8 month old puppy for 2 days.She came and met our dog first, then invited us over so that our puppy got familiar with her house. When he did stay there he was well looked after and we could see he was happy. Marion also sent us several videos and photos. We could see that our puppy really took to Marion.
An excellent - now my reader I was going to put service but that does a disservice. Marion provided our giant schnauzer with a home away from home experience. He had a thoroughly great time, with videos and texts to allay any nerves or fears.
Marion gave our little man a wonderful home from home experience on his first stay with her. We could tell as soon as he (and we) met her he would be happy staying in home and he seemed to take her right away. Marion was super at sending lovely updates on our doggy Basil while were away and it looked like he was having a super time. In fact we think he was a bit miffed he had to come home with us. Would definitely recommend.
I would highly recommend Marion! she is so lovely, a very warm welcome for both myself and my dog Max, first time he stayed with her and he absolutely loved it. Being sent an update on Max's stay really did put my mind at rest, he was the happiest he has ever been with a dog boarder. Marion really cares for the dogs like they are her own, just by watching the video that she sent I had one happy little boy, I said he would not want to come home after his lovely walks, playtime, cuddles and having so much attention. So I would 100% book up again and I'm looking forward to finally have a holiday knowing he is being looked after. Thanks again Marion xx
Bailey our 6 year old cockapoo had a lovely week with Marion. The videos and photos she sent really helped me to see that he was enjoying his time there, with lots of long walks and cuddles. I would not hesitate in recommending Marion and will definitely be booking again, in fact I have already done so.
Marion is amazing and I would thoroughly recommend her to look after and care for your dog. Marion cared for Teddy my Spaniel before we sadly lost him earlier this year. He had a major operation and she cared for his wound and Teddy loved Marion. I am now the proud owner of Dotty and did not hesitate to ask Marion to care for her when I am working. Dotty has an amazing time with Marion and I completely trust and recommend her as a kind and caring dog sitter. I know I do not have to worry about her when she is with Marion!
Gino has just come back from his first visit staying with Marion for the weekend. He had a great time enjoying lots of lovely long walks playtime and cuddles. It was lovely to get the videos of him having such an enjoyable time and was reassuring for us as it was his first sleepover. You can tell Marion has a genuine love for Dogs and we would have no hesitation leaving him with Marion again. Gino can't wait for his next sleepover. Lesley Colin & Gino x
Golden Paws has been Logan’s favorite place for the past 4 years, and it’s easy to see why! Every time I pick him up, I practically have to convince him to come home—he loves it that much! A huge thank you to Sarah and Frank for all the love and care you give to Logan. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing he’s in such great hands. I can’t recommend Golden Paws enough!
Sarah and Frank are truly amazing!! Our cockapoo Norman visits for day care and stays for holidays..his 4th year..it's his second home 🏡 We never worry as he is happy, cared for and has a fantastic time with the other dogs staying. He has made new friends for life. Sarah and Frank are very experienced, professional and care deeply for every dog in their care. Five star fabulous 🌟
Sarah & Frank are just the kindest. I’ve had trouble with feeding our cocker and they have given me invaluable advice. They also look after Barney like their own, sending updates when we are on holiday. I am so grateful that they took Barney. It’s his 2nd home & Barney loves it. Highly, highly recommended.
Sarah and Frank are fantastic and so supportive. They are a five star run family business and care for dogs and their owners more than you could ever imagine. They are Betty's second family. I cannot recommend highly enough. Vikki
Absolutely amazing! Sarah and Frank are very special people and I am so pleased I found them to look after my two fur babies. One of my dogs was very scared of other dogs, but they worked so hard with him and now he is great with all dogs even when we are out with him. It was so nice to be away and have peace of mind that the dogs were being well looked after and having lots of fun. The little videos we received whilst away were so lovely. I can’t recommend Golden Paws enough! Thank you xx Emma
Sarah and Frank LOVE dogs and Coco absolutely adores them and plays with all the dogs. I don’t worry because I know she is being well cared for
Our puppy has been going to Golden Paws for the last 4 months. From the first time I spoke with Sarah, I knew she was going to take such good care of him. With their guidance, we put together a plan to slowly introduce him to her (and Frank & Bear ) and build up confidence for all of us. Our puppy now knows when we are in their road and bounds up the door to see them and their other guests. We have built up our puppy’s time with them, increasing to overnight stays and we have now just picked him up from a week’s holiday with them. Sarah sends as many photos/videos as you would like and her love and care for the dogs is wonderful. Our puppy has had the best time with them and his friends. Nothing is too much trouble and we are so thankful for them.
Look no further for your dog sitting, sitter needs! I can't begin to describe how great Sarah and Frank where with our 1 year old rescued street dog. From the off, Sarah put my mind at rest that he would be in the best possible hands, and he was. Sarah and Frank could not have been kinder, not only to us but also with our pup, sending regular updates and treating him with love and patients in what could have easily become an overwhelming situation. Albie played well with the other dogs and slept soundly. We couldn't be more thankful to Sarah and Frank as we were able to go and enjoy a family wedding safe in the knowledge Albie was being well looked after. We aren't local to Essex but if we were we would use Golden Paws again - no question- as Albie was sad to go and leave his new found friends. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
I'm so thankful for Pepper to of come to Golden Paws for a week's holiday 🐾 , they have been absolutely amazing ... They took amazing care of our puppy and her first ever holiday from us. We had daily pup updates , and she was a very well looked after happy puppy. Would 100% recommend and use in the future. Our puppy has grown confidence around other dogs now too which is amazing. Thank you Sarah & Frank amazing animal lovers, and can clearly see they adore every dog they look after.
I was so happy to find Golden Paws for my sometimes nervous chihuahua. Sarah and Frank have a wonderful way with animals and are truly caring. It definitely is a bespoke service and my chihuahua is being eased into being close to other dogs. Sarah sent me videos and messages to let me know how Billie was getting along and I could see in the videos how much progress he was making in this lovely calm and caring environment. I highly recommend Golden Paws and feel so lucky to have found them.
I have two gorgeous pugs (if I say so myself) who have stayed with Stevie a few times now whilst on holiday. Really comfortable leaving my girls with her. Have already booked for our holidays next year. Would highly recommend.
For anyone who needs and wants the best dog sitters about! Stevie and James are amazing, they look after Douglas once a week and we and Douglas couldn’t be happier! They keep us updated with photos and videos and are extremely reasonable with the costs. Overall if we could give a higher score than 10/10 we would. Very happy dog owners :)
Honey has been to Stevie Wonderful many times for both daycare and boarding and I would most definitely recommend. She can't get out of the car quick enough as soon as we pull up on the drive ... and looking at the videos she always looks so relaxed and has so much fun. Stevie and James are so lovely ... and on first meeting them it became very clear, very quickly, how much they love dogs and enjoy what they're doing. Only concern I have ..... is that one day Honey will refuse to come back home!!! 😂
Maverick has been going to Stevie since April and I was very apprehensive because he is a very anxious and nervous Dachshund. Our meet and greet made me feel comfortable and eased my worries. Mav started out being a little scared going to Stevies, fast forward 3 months and he now runs to her door in excitement. My nervous sausage is now a completely different dog and that's all down to Stevie and James. They never pushed him and let him come out of his shell in his own time. They really do make my work day a lot easier knowing Mav is well looked after. Thank you 💙
Excellent dog sitter. Facilities for dogs is excellent. Stevie has a lovely garden for the dogs to play and you can tell she loves dogs! Our dog Sid stayed for 1 day and had a lovely time, he was very tired so I presume had lots of fun playing! We have already booked for next year when we go away on holiday and I know Sid will be well looked after.
Stevie treated our dog like her own. I was worried at first leaving him there but she made me feel at ease and sent loads of pictures and videos of him playing with other dogs and sleeping. He had his little own holiday and got in a mood with us when having to come home. I would definitely be booking Stevie again and would recommend her to anyone who needs a dog sitter.
This was the first time we’ve used dog sitters/boarders for our 5 month Dachshund, Rodney. Upon meeting both Stevie & James on the meet and greet session I knew Rodney would be in safe hands with them. Rodney stayed for 4 nights and we were updated throughout the entirety of the stay with lots of photos and videos. Rodney made himself right at home and it was evident he was comfortable and settled (and extremely loved) which made us feel completely at ease. They even took him out for lunch! Rodney come home exhausted from playing with all his new friends. I know he’s already looking forward to his next visit. We would recommend Stevie & James to anyone. We feel so lucky to have found them- please don’t ever stop guys!
Stevie and James are such amazing dog sitters and have always looked after our Toy Poodle brilliantly. After a nervous start, our Poodle soon got used to Stevie and James and is always happy to be dropped off there now and has mixed very nicely with the other dogs being looked after too. I would definitely have no hesitation in recommending Stevie and James - such a warm and welcoming couple who put all their dogs’ needs first!
My puppy has recently started going to Stevie’s Wonderful Sitters and she loves it. Gets excited at the door and loves the other dogs, she can’t wait to start her day. Stevie and James are very friendly and Stevie keeps me updated all day with how she is getting on with photos and videos.
Heard about Stevie through word of mouth recommendation and we couldn’t have wished for a better home from home, personalised experience. First time leaving our dog for a week while we went on holiday. Our minds were immediately put at rest through a pre-stay meet and greet to make sure everyone was happy with the arrangements. We then received regular photos, videos and updates to show that our dog was having a great holiday of her own. Already booked in for another stay.
Would highly recommend all seasons for doggy boarding. We recently needed some dog boarding and had a recommendation for here. From the moment we spoke to Donna we felt at ease having our Labrador stay here. She had a 5 night stay recently and all the pics on Facebook show the dogs having the time of their lives. Don’t hesitate to use All Seasons, our dog had the best time ever and was so looked after!
A massive thank you to Donna who very kindly agreed to look after our two sibling cockapoos, they have come home very relaxed. This is the very first time we have left our two and i know you will understand how anxious we were about leaving them but honestly we never needed to worry. Donna also spent the time when we went to collect them to share her expert knowledge in their behaviour both good and bad which I find invaluable in their development Thank you
Our 1 year old Sprocker, Fred, stayed at All Seasons last week and absolutely loved it there! He's bit crazy and gets rather excited when out for a walk but Donna and her family were wonderful with him. When we picked him up he was reluctant to come home and did not stir for several hours when back at home, being absolutely knackered after his fun week! Donna posts plenty of pictures and videos of the dogs to Facebook so you can keep an eye on them whlist away and all of our famiy loved catching up on Fred's activities every day. Highly recommend All Seasons and Fred will definitely be visiting them again! 👍
I cannot say enough good things about the whole team at All Seasons Dogs . I only have to say Donna's name to Luna and she bolts to the front door and fights to get out. The love and care you show the doggies is unparalleled and so evident in the photos you so kindly upload every evening. Thank you x
I cannot recommend Donna and her team enough, they are such lovely people and do such a brilliant job. Our dog absolutely loves her days there and she's grown in so much confidence. I have complete faith and trust in them and know they care for her and all the other doggies like they are their own. We were really struggling with separation anxiety issues and initial nerves when meeting other dogs and she's improved so so much it's lovely to see. Thank you so much for everything you do, I cannot speak highly enough of the service you provide!
A home from home for our two dogs. They are guaranteed to have fun when they go for the day or board overnight. A superb location offering a safe and stimulating environment for the dogs irrespective of the weather and ideally placed for country walks. We know that Donna and family will care for our dogs as if they were their own. We can’t recommend their services highly enough.
Amazing setup. My two Bernese puppies stayed with Donna and her family during the time me and my partner were away. It was a last minute booking and Donna couldn’t have been more helpful. She was willing to take them the next morning. Lovely people and they treat the dogs like they are part of the family! Couldn’t recommend All Season Dogs enough! Thanks again Donna!
The best dog hotel in the world. Our Eva sprints to get in there and lives every moment. She stays with the resident BMDs and is treated like one of the family. Then again, I think all the boarders are. I would say Eva prefers it there to home but she goes loopy when we arrive to collect her so she must love us really.
We got our beautiful Minnie around the beginning of lockdown but soon needed to have her looked after some days when we were both out at work. We were recommended to Donna and I called her. Minnie started there that week and has been going 2 to 3 days a week since. The place itself is amazing with so much room to run around safely and of course to shelter whilst still mixing with other dogs. It is important to know that the dogs are not locked in kennels or cages but allowed to roam around mixing together or sometimes (Minnie) sitting alone on the trampoline or sofa trying to look aloof! What is obvious to us is that Donna and family love the dogs and very much care for their welfare. We recently left Minnie there for 2 weeks while we went away and were wholly comfortable that she was being loved and cared for. We very much need to have her looked after during the week as do many other people including front line workers. I cannot imagine a place that is more secure, safe and loving as this to look after our little family members. We would be distraught if they were forced (totally unnecessarily) to close down and cannot fathom why this would be deemed necessary or justified. I for one would be prepared to do anything in my power to support Donna and family in their case and endeavours to keep All Seasons open and I urge others to commit to the cause for your dogs sake and theirs!
Superb! Took our Bernese Mountain Dog Lily there for an overnight stay and she had a fantastic time. Happy about the professionalism and knowledge. It was also a plus that they already own 3 Bernese so know the breed and could handle our dog (she is bigger than most dogs in most scenarios...). Would definitely recommend!
We left our puppy with Nicola and Andrea whilst we went abroad for a week. We could not have been happier with the service they have provided and the care and affection they have shown towards her -treating her as if she was their own. The daily updates are very reassuring and it’s lovely to see the photos and videos to show how much fun she was having with out us! We cannot recommend my best friend Chigwell highly enough and we will definitely be using them again in the future :)
Our Puppy loves Nicola!!, she is very professional and asked to see proof of vaccinations, micro chipping and in depth details of puppy during registration. She is flexible and reliable and takes him for lovely walks whilst he is with her. She is clearly very much a dog lover and loves your fur baby as much as you do. Nicola is fantastic at keeping me up to date with my dog throughout the day with pictures and videos. My puppy loves being with Nicola and comes home tried from all the fun he has with her. We are really pleased to have found Nicola and someone who loves our puppy as much as we do.
We had a fantastic time using the dog boarding service with Nicola. It was clear from speaking to her that she has great experience and knowledge about looking after dogs. As a first time customer our concerns and queries were put at ease with Nicola's professionalism and the continuous updates about our dog (including photos and videos). We also got updates on his eating, walks, playing and general well-being. We will certainly use the same great service in the future.
I cannot praise My Best Friend Chigwell enough - 5 stars doesn’t cover it! Nicola has been amazing with our dog and she looks forward to going everyday! I get photos from Nicola and updates on her day and is always able to help if I have a dog-related issues. Great prices for what you and your pup get! Cannot recommend enough!
Nicola took a very good care of my dog when she was boarding for over two weeks. I received daily updates, photos and videos and I could tell that my little girl was having great time. I even started to worry that she will not want to come back home. It was a very good value for money and I can definitely recommend Nicola.
I stumbled across this company via Google search . I decided to contact them solely due to the smiley person in the image on the website, Nicola got back to me the next day. Speaking to her I felt reassured that she was the right person to entrust the care of our dog to. I am very pleased with Nicola and Emma, they are professional caring warm and friendly. They are at ease with what the do and the dogs are at ease with them too. I have used them more often than what I originally intended as our 9 month dog looks like he gets great benefit of the enclosed walk that we book him in for , especially being a lockdown puppy !!
Our dog LOVES hearing Nicola come to take him for his daily walk- he runs to get her a toy and wags his tail in excitement. When we got him from a rescue centre he didn't even know how to play or what a toy was, so it's amazing to see him run to his toys to share. Nicola is very professional and asked to see proof of vaccinations and micro chipping etc. She is punctual and reliable and takes him for lovely walks in Fairlop Waters which he had never been to before. She is clearly very much a dog lover and is confident walking him even though he is the size of a bear :-) We are really pleased to have found Nicola.
Nicola is a very friendly, professional individual, when we first met with Nicola our puppy who was 3 months at the time took to Nicola straight away and we could see that she would feel very comfortable. Nicola is always happy to answer questions and provide advice. We trust Nicola completely and most importantly our Puppy feels at home with Nicola. We have used day services as well as overnight and Nicola always provides lovely video and photos of all the fun our puppy is having. You will find a second home using Nicola’s services. I highly recommend Nicola.
Where do I start!! My puppy has been going on walks with My Best Friends dogcare Chigwell for the past couple of months and I cannot be happier with the service and fundamentally the care and love they show Hugo! It started with walks in the morning and as of recent I’ve not been able to walk Hugo because of health reasons, so Nicola and Emma have been taking him for the whole day and he’s so happy with them on the walks and has clearly developed a bond with both Nicola and Emma. He waits at the door every morning for them to arrive!! The updates daily with photos and videos are amazing and assures you that your dog is in great hands! They’ve also been amazing support as I cannot walk Hugo at the moment. Nicola is so knowledgable on all aspects of dog care and is also on hand to offer the best advice ! Thank you so much! Xxx
My pup has been with Nicola since the beginning of 2020. I am so glad I found her as you can tell she loves the dogs in her care and treats them all as if they were her own. Every time she arrives at my door my dog goes mental with excitement. I feel totally relaxed and calm knowing my doggy is in great hands. It's perfect for him to socialise too with other dogs and he always come home tired and happy. If you're looking for someone to trust with looking after your doggo, where they will get cared for like it was her own, then Nicolas service is pawfect for you :)
Brilliant. Right from when we first met Nichola with our puppy on one of our first walks, she's been a wealth of knowledge and advice. Our little girl loves her walks with Nichola and the crew even though she's often the smallest, all the other dogs get along really well. She's even stayed over when we've been away. Pebbles is so well looked after that we can't even walk past her house without making a detour to say hello. We're so lucky to have someone so special so close.
We have been using Nicola to walk our doggy for 2 years now, she is amazing. Reliable, excellent communication, you can just see how good she is with the dogs and she really cares like they are her own. All the dogs seem to get on so well, Nicola regularly sends us photos out on their walks which I love and Ria always comes home knackered but clean as Nicola always cleans the dogs after their walks. Would highly recommend, thank you for everything Nicola.
Nicola has been walking our dogs for over 2yrs and we can't imagine anyone else looking after them. She loves our boys as if they were her own. She's not only attentive when they are out with her but they come home clean and well exercised. Their social skills with other dogs have improved by being part of the group walks. Nicola has also boarded them on a couple of occasions. It comes with complete trust as we wouldn't leave them with just anyone. She has fitted in extra walks at short notice and has gone above and beyond to help us through a recent rough patch. We are so grateful for her services and our boys get excited when we mention her name - I'm sure they love her more than us. Thanks Nicola for all you do for our precious fur babies.
Nicola is a brilliant dog walker would highly recommend her. She is so good with my 2 especially My Cockapoo who can be very unpredictable at times. She thinks about all her dogs safety and makes sure they all have fun. Fantastic of taking photos of the dogs and sent them to you on every walk. Can’t thank Nicola enough for all she does for my 2 and they both love her too.
Nicola has been walking our lively Cockapoo Bella for nearly a year now. From the very first time I met Nicola I knew that I could trust her. She’s a real animal lover, and makes conscious decisions based on the safety of the dogs, which I appreciate. If I say ‘is that Nicola?’ to my dog, she jumps onto the window ledge and gets really excited. Nicola also feeds our cat and our stick insects 😂 while we’re on holiday. We’re very grateful to have found her. Thank you Nicola for all that you do for us, including taking the fab photos while you’re out!
Nicola is a wonderful dog walker - always reliable and can tell how much she cares about all the dogs she looks after. Our cockapoo absolutely loves going out with her and the other dogs. Nicola always takes the best photos that she shares with you - where you can see how much fun they’re all having.
You wouldn’t leave your kids with a stranger… So why would it be any different when it comes to your furry four-legged kids!? When it comes to finding a dog walker you trust, look no further than Nicola. We’ve been using her company for years now and our Westie’s absolutely adore her! She treats them like they’re her own and that’s what truly matters. During every dog walk we receive amazing pictures of them out with their friends and it’s amazing to know they’re being looked after by somebody who’s a true professional at what they do. Hiring Nicola has been one of the best decisions we’ve ever made and can’t recommend her enough!
We feel very lucky to have found Nicola, our dogs love going for walks with her and are always very excited to see her. Nicola is very attentive and her love and passion for caring for dogs is evident, we know our dogs are in good hands. She is always happy to help us out when she can. We can't speak highly enough of her.
Fantastic service. Nicola visits our kitten when we are away. Spends a little time with him, feeds and changes his litter. She is very reliable and lovely with our kitten. Nicola sends us pictures of him while we are away, which is great. I would highly recommend the services Nicola provides.
We have used Nicola’s services on numerous occasions to look after our Goats and Chickens. Always reliable, makes sure all the animals are well cared for and feed & watered. I would say Nicola takes care of them as if they are her own.
Used this place for 2 years when I got a puppy as didn't want to leave her at home all day, absolutely brilliant. Jackie and Oli are so friendly and lovely, they make you and your pets feel welcomed. My girl was always happy to go here everytime because she was treated like one of theirs. If I hadn't moved halfway up the country, I would still be using them now. Safe, professional, and generally a great help to me. I would recommend to anyone.
Highly recommended. Professional and friendly. Our Cats were happy when we got home which is unusual, they don't usually like strangers coming to feed them but they loved Jacqui. Will use again definitely
Excellent care of our Springer Spaniel. Thoroughly recommend.
Thank you for looking after Teddy,will def use again.
Care as you would have in your own home
My dog loves it here
