Lorraine and Richard are a lovely couple who are very generous and kind. Their house is really nice in a great part of England. With easy access to some good walks. Poppy the cat was adorable - I didn’t want to leave her. Thanks for letting me house sit.
It was such a pleasure to sit at Beverly’s beautiful and comfortable home taking care of Joe and Henry..I was very fond of them … they were so affectionate, curious and so open to new adventures in the backyard and while walking in the neighborhood… I will miss them greatly as they really touched my heart… it was also very lovely to meet Beverly who is such a caring and compassionate person…I would recommend this sit to anyone who wants to have a delightful experience…..I would love to sit at Beverly’s home again if the opportunity ever presents itself!
I loved staying in Rabia’s home! She was so kind, communicative and generous, and Sasha and Isabel are suuuch sweet kitties. Sasha is hands down the friendliest cat I’ve ever met! Not the mention, the apartment is beautiful and in a gorgeous location. I’m so grateful that I was chosen to sit for Rabia!
We really enjoyed taking care of Sweetie, she is quite old and needs her daily medication, walks are no longer part of her daily routine just a stroll in the front yard will do. She is very sweet and she follows you around and let’s you know when it’s time for a treat… We also enjoyed this beautiful home and the daily dip in the pool. Helen and Ralph are exceptional hosts and we would be delighted to come back not only to be with Sweetie but also to spend some more time with Helen and Ralph.
This was an amazing sit, right in the heart of London! Juanita and Andy were very welcoming and gave me the grand tour - great views, brilliant location, super-spacious. Missy was quite chatty and a bit of a diva when it came to food and strokes(!) but was honestly so little trouble to look after and would often keep me company - whether I was sat on the sofa, or out on the balcony. The flat is right by Tower Bridge, and it's a 60 minute walk along the Thames to the London Eye/ Big Ben, past Borough Market and Shakespeare's Globe/ Tate Modern. Highly recommend this sit and would love to return.
Daisy, Dahlia, and Fritz were a delight to care for. They are such sweet older pups and I had a great time staying w them. Natalie and Doug were super friendly and made sure we felt right at home.

5 stars is just not enough in my opinion, if I could give 1000++ I would!! Evelyn and the team at Barkmoral are just absolutely amazing, without a shadow of a doubt, I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my dog other than them. After having a terrible experience with another boarder whilst on holiday, I was so nervous to leave him with someone else again, but Evelyn was so patient with me and put my mind at complete ease every step of the way, with regular updates and pictures of him having the greatest time! He has the best time with them and doesn’t actually want to come home with me when I go to pick him up!! Whenever I drop him off he gets SO excited in the car going up the driveway - this says a lot!! Evelyn and the team are so experienced and qualified with the proper insurance and also council registered - which just put me more at ease. They really do offer a “home away from home” for your dog and treat them like their own. I feel so comfortable leaving my dog in their hands when I’m away and I can’t thank them enough for that ❤️
This is not a kennel, this is a hotel! Evelyn and Lauren just love dogs, the only place we would leave our dogs when on holiday.
Thanks for your fantastic review, Peter!
Thanks so much for your 5-star review Andrew!
Fantastic service, lovely people. Our dogs always happy to stay at Kuruba. Small kennels in a beautiful location
Our dog Scout, is naturally a nervous dog, so I wasn’t sure bite this would go… needless to say, I shouldn’t have worried…Steve and Donna are really great at what they do and quickly put my mind at ease. Have been quite a few times now and Scout actually can’t get in the place quick enough when we drop her off.. highly recommended and I wouldn’t go anywhere else.
Fabulous kennels. Steve & Donna are just great and clearly love what they do. Our dog Siri can't wait to go back for his next visit!
ELSA my 5yr old Jack Russell has been going for two years and loves Donna's cuddles. She always loves going in and I always get pictures of her running and playing Top class Kennels
Had 2 dogs in for a week. I was a bit worried as I've never had the dogs in kennels previously,but Steve explained everything to me and and how dogs would be fed ,walked and treated . This put our minds at ease and I knew dogs would be well looked after .Delighted with the outcome and would definitely use the kennels again .
Having enquired about leaving our two dogs at this establishment and explaining that one of them had an injury which had developed MRSP but had been treated and then culture tested with a result of zero the person contacted initially was ok but advised that we would need paperwork from our vets confirming this which we did showing the all clear from the 31st of December. We then went ahead with kennel cough vaccine and confirmed with the kennel this had been done. We then finalised our holiday booking and emailed the kennels to confirm booking only to receive an email from the new owners (6 days before our holiday) that they now weren’t prepared to take our dogs on the advice of their vet ( who should know that a lot of dogs carry this bug naturally and that our dog is as safe as any other animal in their care). Very disappointing and unprofessional now leaving us potentially having to cancel a much needed break. It would appear that we initially connected with the previous owner who has agreed one thing and not advised the new owners who have decided something else. I would suggest more of an organised handover than this. We had to wait quite late in the day to book the injured dog into kennels as there is no way we were going to leave him if we thought there was anything wrong which we have had confirmed by our vet there isn’t.
Great kennels, dogs individually exercised our dog actually likes going there. It gets well booked so phone early.
First class kennels, look after our dogs very well, dogs have no issues going in and come out happy! Very friendly owners, good comms.
I have been using Kuruba weekly for 6 years now with my choc lab and what great and friendly service! A really safe environment to leave your beloved pet. Recommend highly!
After a number of decades in the dog world I am very diligent and fussy on where I would I can thoroughly let any of my beloved pooches stay. Due to vacation looming I found I needed somewhere for a rehomed fear reactive 2 year old to see as a safe haven. Neighbours recommended the Kuruba Kennels and I am so pleased they did as Colin has taken a lot of time helping my youngster settle and adjust with the help of Di they have worked a program of visits and single overnights to gradually and with minimal stress introduce Keetna to her vacation pad of luxury. There is a lot of experience in the pair which they have passed onto their son who can add an element of 'the beauty pampering' that one expects when visiting a 5* establishment.
Best dog minder ever
Gail is a true cat whisperer! She made friends immediately with my house cat during her initial visit, and she sent photos of them playing every day, which was super reassuring. Arrived home to a very happy cat - fabulous option for cats who like their home comforts. Will definitely use the Kitty Sitter again next time we’re away!
Can’t recommend Kitty Sitter Gail enough. I booked at very short notice for a week over Easter and she proved to be very reliable and caring for our two very individual cats. One cat requires medicine twice a day so we needed her for 2 visits and that was not a problem for her. The other is very shy and she even managed to persuade him to say hello now and then. I loved the daily photos and updates on the cats. I normally dread coming home to some sort of carnage from the cats but there was nothing to have worried about. Will definitely be using Kitty Sitter again. Thank you Gail
Gail is a wonderful cat sitter and we are so glad to have found her. She can deftly handle both human and feline alike. She established a bond with our cat right away and was very good at explaining to us the business ins & outs. Although our kitty is on the friendly side, I have never seen him so relaxed after coming back from a trip. Throughout our time away Gail was brilliant about keeping in touch. When our trip was delayed one day due to bad weather she very generously offered to take care of cat longer. Having someone so kind and capable taking care of our pet is an incredible resource and we will remain customers for as long as we live in the area.
Gail is an experienced and professional cat sitter. She was communicative and made sure we were updated, and she even called in help when she was going to miss one evening's visit. I will definitely use her services again in the future!
Gail completely understands cats, their quirks and how they should be treated - and how they may treat her too! 😂 Gail has been absolutely amazing with our pair and watched our 2 cats for an extended period as we weren't around for a few weeks: I'm pretty sure they wonder where she is! Rates are very fair from the Kitty Sitter, I'd recommend Gail to anyone for cat sitting, she's very friendly, knowledgeable and trustworthy. We've been delighted with this service and fully intend to keep engaging with The Kitty Sitter - as long as she'll have us!
Gail has been amazing in looking after our cat. You can tell that she is a cat lover and will do everything required to make your cat feel comfortable whilst you are away. It has been great to find someone who is reliable and trustworthy. Will definitely be using Gail’s services in the future!
Gail is absolutely wonderful with cats. I was very very nervous about leaving my three indoor cats, I'd never left them before and was thinking about any bad situation that could happen. Gail kept me up to date with everything was going on and sent me evening updates with pictures (because she knew I needed the reassurance.) One of my cats is very nervous and I knew that she might not necessarily eat. Gail worked through this until she gained my cats trust and by the end of the week they were friends. She also cleaned the litter trays, filled the water bowls, played with and gave the cats cuddles. Take it from someone who is neurotic to the extreme about her fur babies, Gail is the best person to leave with your cats and I will 100% ask her to care for them again.
We are very glad we found Gail! She is very friendly and professional and took good care of our cat while we were gone. She was sending us updates daily which helped put our mind at ease. We would definitely recommend her.
Gail is an absolute gem. She took fabulous care of our two girls and kept a watchful eye on the house whilst we were away for a week. Would definitely use again without hesitation. Words can’t do her justice!
Would highly recommend Gail's service. Really friendly and helpful, took great care of our cats and gave us regular updates which was reassuring during our trip away. Will definitely be using her from now on.
So glad I joined safe paws. I had such an anxious little pup who couldn't stand to be away from me, now he can't wait to get into the centre in the mornings. Really changed his life! So grateful to all the staff and everything they have done to help him. Can't recommend them enough!
This place is a wonderful example of how to run a dog day care centre. Well organised and run with the safety of the dogs paramount. Shirley is supported by a wonderful team who all made my training a very worthwhile experience. The course is well structured which provides plenty of safe, supervised practice with the dogs. A great experience and comes highly recommended to anyone who wishes to become a day care provider.
Attended the 3 day training course for opening. Highly professional and wealth of knowledge. Practical training was to a high standard. Lovely to see such well trained staff, happy dogs and a well run daycare centre. I would recommend training course to anyone starting up their own daycare and to any owners looking for Dog daycare in Stirling. Kèep up the awesome work Shirley and staff team
I attended the dog day care trainers course here and absolutely loved it! Shirley is so knowledgable and down to earth, no question goes unanswered. The centre is fantastic with well trained staff who make sure no dog is ever left out, any dog is lucky to be a part of Safepaws!
Excellent my dog comes home thoroughly exhausted. I can now take him for walks and he will integrate with other dogs. He says he loves going. How they get him to nap at lunchtime!! Is a 5 star in my eyes. Thoroughly recommend to anyone who has a dog staff so patient and love their job. Long may they keep going.
I’ve used safe paws since my dog has been 12 weeks old. He loves his day each week and is now 7 years old and still acts like he is 12 weeks of age every time he goes through the door. Fantastic service and wonderful staff
My gorgeous boy lenny loves his days with safe paws. He has made lots of doggy friends. Thank you safepaws for also teaching him recall! Highly recommend
What a fantastic training course Shirley delivers :) had the most amazing experience learning with the team, All the dogs and pups seem so happy here and get 10/10 care from the handlers
Henris favourite place. Can't ask for more. Great facilities friendly staff and look out for your dog.
Monty, my miniature schnauzer has been going here since he was 12 weeks old, his tail wags when we approach the entrance, he is a very happy doggo and the staff are amazing
I engaged Mo to cat sit so long ago it was in a time pre Covid! It was obvious from the start her passion for cats and empathy for their owners. The feeling was mutual. The first time she cat sat she sent a pic of Felix on her chest. One of the last times she looked after them she spotted blood in the litter tray so inspected the cat and made an extra visit later to check there wasn't any more. I recommended her to a friend and she performed cat sitting duties and helped my mate out when a stray cat she fed was sick and later sadly passed away. Not technically part of the service. I should have written a review before now. Today personified her love for animals and care for owners when she helped me in a really compassionate way when my cat had just been run over. She was mid dog walking service but did not hesitate to take control, drove me to a vet and assured me he was unconscious and blissfully unaware which is what every owner needs to hear when their animal is dying. She even swept me up and took me home afterwards. All the while making sure the dogs were still getting what they needed. Like some of the other reviews have said I can't recommend highly enough for authentic client and animal focused service. If I could give 10 stars I would and hope to use her services again some day. Thank you 🙏 from Susan, Felix and Snowball
Mo and Reno have looked after Willow for 2.5 years for daily walks, daycare and overnights when I have had to travel for work. Willow loved being part of the pack and always returned mud free, well exercised and happy! Their care and love for the animals they care for is clear. They are reliable and never let me or Willow down and I was very sad to have to separate Willow from the pack when we had to move from Scotland. I cannot recommend them enough and you should have no hesitation is trusting your pets, of any size to their care. Thanks for the support this past few years Mo and Reno and all the best for the future. Rob and of course Willow
This is a Completely positive review of Tails and Adventures! Their attitude to humans is totally professional and their attitude to the animals extremely kind and caring. We felt very safe to hand our pets (and the keys of our home) over - really appreciated the sensible questions (where's the pet carrier if there's an emergency etc) which put us at ease before we left and then appreciated the updates while we were away. Our cats brought a mouse home while we were away which shows how much they loved their new babysitter and it was dealt with easily and with an appropriate level of humour. When we got back all three cats were relaxed and had clearly been well looked after. Highly recommended if you need a pet-sitter while you are away. The only drawback is I'm not sure the cats missed us.
Mo and Reno have looked after Bella since we first adopted her. She absolutely loves her walks and we are so grateful that she's well looked after and cared for when she's out with Tails & Adventures. Wouldn't feel comfortable leaving her with anyone else.
Our dog, Peggy, has been going on weekly walks with Mo & Reno since she was a puppy - I think it's the highlight of her week! They take her on lovely and safe walks where she can run around happily with the other dogs. We're very thankful we came across Tails & Adventures as they provide such a fantastic service and are very trustworthy & reliable people.
Mo and Reno have looked after Holly for a number of years now and I can't recommend them highly enough. They have a great bond with her which is clear by the crazy welcome she gives them every day when they arrive to take her out! She always comes home from her walks tired, happy and content. Mo and Reno always go above and beyond to help with Holly in any way they can and I trust them completely to take good care of her.
Tails and Adventures are great with our black Labrador and we have used them for years. Always reliable and responsive with great communication. We trust them and know our dog is well looked after. Highly recommended service and lovely people.
We have used Tails and Adventures since we got our dog in 2016. They are extremely professional and always happy to accommodate any changes where necessary. Have no hesitation whatsoever in giving Mo and Reno five stars and highly recommend them. Thank you.
Renato fed my cats for a week while I was away. The true sign of his care for them was that none of them ran away! He even took my bins in for me, and I had updates with photos to keep my mind at rest. A really great service. Thank you 😊 …
Very friendly and great with animals.x
Great for doggy
Kerry was kind enough to help us out with dog sitting at very short notice. We have an anxious lurcher with separation anxiety, but Kerry was an absolute hero, taking Ripley’s “quirks” in her stride. She kept us updated with photos and texts, reassuring us that Ripley (and herself!) was OK. I couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter to help us out, it’s such a shame we live in Edinburgh or we would have been ecstatic to be able to have her walk Ripley on a regular basis! We will definitely use FurFriends in future for all our dog sitting and walking needs when we are through in Stirlingshire. Thank you again Kerry for going out of your way to help us out during such a difficult time. Ripley sends her love ❤️
Bodhi absolutely loves his group walks with Kerry and all his new friends. He can be a little anxious but he took to Kerry and the walks straight away. Kerry clearly loves all dogs and extremely knowledgeable and so natural with them. She keeps us up to date with how he is doing and uploads pictures from each walk so you can see how much fun your beloved pets are having. My mud loving boy always comes back spotless too, I would recommend Fur Friends all day long!
If you are looking for a friendly, reliable Dog Walker then I can’t recommend FurFriends enough! Our boys Rupert and Rafiki have been walked by Kerry for several months now and they couldn’t be happier. They are always excited to see her and come home thoroughly worn out! Kerry even takes the time to give them a clean down before bringing them back!
Kerry & Nicole are very caring & professional dog walkers and they provided excellent care for our big girl Tequila :-)They quickly bonded with our doggo & literally saved us. We really appreciate their exceptional service,clear communication and overall attentiveness to our dog. Thank you girls once again:-)
Kerry is absolutely wonderful with our dog Maisie. She is so caring and kind to the dogs and I would absolutely 💯 recommend her. We got Maisie just before lockdown and she was not very good with anyone apart from us but Kerry definitely won her heart and she goes off with her with her tail up. So happy.
Japser loves his walks with Fur friends and his recall is even improving. 3rd walker we've tried, much prefer walks on his own, he's much more settled in the evenings and the advice to have a morning walk for him has stopped him wrecking the house. Kerry knows him so well already and even the cats go to her which is unheard of! She really cares like they are her own. 5 stars all round.
I use FurFriends for my cat Ginger when I’m on holiday, away overnight or working extended hours. He is an extremely timid cat, but has taken to Kerry so well. Friendly, reliable service and a real animal lover. Highly recommend!!
Archie loved his walk with Kerry. We are going to work on some 1 to 1 recall and then he hopes to return to his group walking in the near future.
