James is one of the nicest and most professional service providers you can hope to come into contact with. Never skimps a task or a request, very practical and great mechanical skills, but also super-organised and efficient. His only flaw is the Man Utd obsession—bit worrying. But seriously, if I had a job to do, he’d be the chap I’d ask first to help. Thanks, dude!
Fantastic service from start to end. Met James a couple of weeks prior to going on holiday. James was very thorough in finding out about Lady- Lady felt completely comfortable straight away when we visited James house on a visit. James had a very calming relaxed approach and made me feel relaxed and welcome also. Whilst away on holiday I checked in on Lady and was sent an email and pictures to confirm she was enjoying her holiday with the other doggies and James. The pictures showed Lady relaxed at James house and having lots of fun out on walks. I would definitely recommend James’ dog services and will be using James dog care services again when needed.
Amazing! James is such a dog lover and looked after our 3 tiny dogs. They love going on walks with him. James also house sits while we go away and our dogs are well looked after and have lots of cuddles and love from James. Our dogs are happy with James, and my home is spotless and clean when I come home! Thank you so very much The dogs miss you! See you soon
Excellent service every time. my dog loves her walks with James. Friendly, helpful and a caring dog lover
Lucie at Bobbi’s Doggies is amazing. Our cockapoo absolutely loves her and gets so excited when he sees her. He goes on weekly walks and for regular grooms. Cannot fault either service, super reliable and is flexible around us which is invaluable to us.
Paul is a true dog whisperer, my Springer Bobby who is difficult to walk and Cocker spaniel Winston who is very stubborn absolutely loved their walks from Paul. Our mind was totally at rest that our babies was living their best life while we were away. I would 100% recommend and would not even look for anyone else to walk our dogs in the future. No stress no worries just happy Bobby and Windton.
Paul looked after our Labrador for us for 3 nights at his home. We were really pleased with everything and would use him again. I’d recommend his services if you have a pet that needs to be boarded overnight but you’d prefer you pet to be with someone in their home than left in kennels.
A super service leaving my mind totally at rest- these lovely folks adore animals and my 2 very nervous dogs were well taken care of and bonded quickly with Paul and his lady- highly recommend- it is so important to have faith in those who look after your loved ones.
Just to let you know my choice of dog walker for the Lytham area was We love pets Lytham. Can recommend this service wholeheartedly.
We left our two miniature schnauzers for the first time with Jo & Pat for 10 days to get married abroad, they took such good care of them and gave us peace of mind to enjoy our wedding and honeymoon! Loved seeing pictures of them on Facebook having a great time in Jo & Pats field - looks like they had the best holiday too! Would recommend them to anyone looking for a safe place for their furry family members if you’re going away on holiday!
First time I've had someone come into my home to feed my indoor cats whilst on holiday and needed to as one cat now gets car sick so is distraught when travelling. From the outset of reaching out for a quote and to end the communication was fantastic and quick. I came back from holiday to 2 very happy and purry cats. Would highly recommend and will definitely be using again. Very good value for money.
We've used Jo's Paws for puppy visits, dog walks and overnight stays. They are very professional and obviously care about looking after our dog (I'm sure they are just as good with cats etc). Our dog is always excited to see them and can't wait to get into their van. Highly recommended!
I left our dog with Jo and Pat for a week whilst on holidays. I was nervous about leaving him but there was no need. I picked up a very happy healthy dog at the end of the week!!
Excellent service from Jo and Pat. My dog Toby absolutely adores them! I wouldn't trust anyone else. Can't recommend their services enough
Great friendly service- home from home comforts for your pooch x
Excellent thoroughly recommended
Professional
Thank you for your kind review. It was a pleasure looking after Frog.
Thank you for your kind review.
Rocky & Betsy love the walks with Jen and the pack. Jen is always on time, professional, and most importantly, the dogs love her. Really recommend her services
Cannot recommend Alpha Pet Care service enough. Not only has Jen taught my dog to recall, but his obedience levels have raised in every direction. He comes home so happy and exhausted after a work out with Jen and the dogs. It's so wonderful to see the rapport that Jen has with dogs and my Freddie loves her so much. Knowing your walker loves dogs is such a plus point.
Poppy has thoroughly enjoyed her walks with alpha pet and the gang. Jenifer is brilliant with Poppy and runs a very professional service. This has helped Poppy to become socialised with other dogs.
Cannot recommend Alpha pet care highly enough. We use their services for cat sitting, and when i first contacted Alpha pet care I was very cautious as we have only ever trusted family to take care of our cats. However Jen put me at ease straight away, and we had an initial meeting to get to know her and get the cats approval of course. Jen was genuinely interested in their needs and we were impressed. fast forward 6months and we haven't looked back since, Molly, Luna and Rupert love their company and play time, and we love getting the updates a photos (really put our mind at ease when we were on our honeymoon). Thanks again guys!
I would highly recommend Alpha pet care. Jen came to look after our 3 cats whilst we were away. Jen kept in touch with little updates and the cats were happy when we got back. We will most definitely use Jen again , and will recommend without hesitation. A lovely lady and happy cats . Thank you
Our bouncy, excitable Labrador Retriever has been going for walks with Alpha pet care, Jen and James for a year now. He absolutely loves it and gets Super, crazy excited when he sees them which to me speaks volumes. It's great being able to see how much fun all the pooches have through the daily photos uploaded and each walk definitely leaves me with one sleepy doggy. Most importantly though it's so reassuring to know how well looked after our pooch is whilst with Jen and James. I most definitely recommend Alpha pet care to all.
We have been thrilled with the service provided by Jen for our cat. We have used a cattery before but we knew he didn’t love the experience (although I appreciate the security they give too). He is very much an outside cat; he doesn’t love being inside (home is his place for food, security and cuddles). We looked into the idea of a pet sitter for our holidays which would allow him to come and go as he pleased still. Jen came round and made us feel instantly at peace. She was very very accommodating with the fact he is raw fed and followed all feeding instructions. Whilst we were away for the two weeks we had loads of updates. As it turned out he was usually in when she went to put his food out and we know he was getting cuddles and attention. We came home to a very happy cat who was not at all stressed. We will certainly approach her again!
Alpha Pet Care has been part of our life now for over 2 years and i'd be lost without Jen and her pet services. I work full time and didn't want to leave Bruno alone all day. Then I found Alpha Pet Care. Jen came round to the house for an initial visit and she hit it off with Bruno straight away. She answered all my questions and made me feel at ease with leaving Bruno under her watch but also with leaving a key for my house with her. Jen is extremely reliable and gives us plenty of notice if there are days she can't do due to well earned Holidays (These are few and far between though). Jen updates me everyday with pictures of Bruno and his pals enjoying themselves on the beach and he is always shattered when he comes home. He now sits by the door waiting for Jen during week days and is always giddy to see her. Jen also now looks after Bruno when we go on holiday. He is a bit of a pampered pooch but loves going to stay with Jen and doesn't get stressed at all like he would in kennels. Jen and alpha pet care are now part of our family and they do an excellent job. Can't recommend them enough. A huge thumbs up from me and a high 5 paw from Bruno.
I have just used Jen for the first time and she looked after my dog George for 3 full days and nights. I was very happy to receive some texts and pictures letting me know he was safe and well. I found Jen easy to communicate with which was very reassuring as I was on holiday in Blackpool; I am not a local. So overall I was very happy with the service and George clearly loved Jen and her other pooches. Would highly recommend and hope to employ Jen again on my next visit as she made me feel as though I could relax and enjoy my trip knowing George was safe.
I would recommend alpha dog walking to anyone! Jen has been so helpful with us booking our walks in ad hoc and will always help when she can. Our dog lola loves the walks down the beach and I feel she has since become more confident around other dogs since walking with alpha. I also love the fact Jen is very active on Facebook and you can see the pictures of your dog on their walks x
Excellent service from first introduction to the holiday itself. Alison was exceptional with her care of our Vizsla, Mara & we would not hesitate to call on her again. Mara came back from her holiday very relaxed & her postcard told us she had a really good time. We have used kennels in the past but would never use them again after having found Barking Mad. There is simply no comparison. We have got one very happy & contented dog & would recommend your service to anyone. Thanks again for everything.
Alison is very professional and shows a remarkable love for dogs, I always have peace of mind knowing that my pup will be in safe hands when she's finding him a host family. He had so much fun last time! Recommend BM to anyone who is going away on holiday and want to make sure their dog is well looked after somewhere that isn't a kennel x
Fabulous if I could give 10 stars I would, what a great service Alison provides. Would always trust her with my Cockapoo Rolo. 🐶😃👍🏻 …
Our boy stayed here and absolutely loved it. We were worried about leaving him in a kennel as he usually attends a doggy daycare in a home environment but he was very happy. We previously had a bad experience with another kennel so we were scared to leave him. They have a lovely Facebook page where they put pics of the dogs whilst having fun. While on holiday we could see our boy boy having fun and that he was looked after properly. I definitely recommend this fantastic kennel. The staff is great
Really well run and it was obvious our dogs absolutely loved their time there!
Excellant premises, very clean and excellant management, my dog Mason is looking forward staying there.
Just collected our beloved pup (Cooper) from his first night away from us. This was a prelude to him staying at Barnfield while we go abroad. He came back very happy and very tired. The staff made us feel a lot happier leaving Cooper in their care and answered all our daft questions. Thank you to all the staff as we can now go on holiday knowing our fur baby will be looked after so we can relax and enjoy a much needed holiday.
Excellent. Turned my "Mop" dog into a show dog in an hour! Now sure for how long. Thank you and well done.
My Jack, 10year old cocker spaniel,loved his "holiday" with jacky and mel. He is a funny boy but always happy. Thanks for looking after him. God Bless. Regards Pete Doherty.
Couldn't wish for a better kennels!! We have 2 'challenging' dogs but the bond they have built with everyone at the kennels means I really don't have to worry about leaving them. Always there to try and help and completely understand individual dogs needs!
I’ve just picked up my boy after a weeks stay at Barnfield and he’s perfectly happy and healthy. I will definitely be using them again in the future. Thanks for taking good care of my fur baby x
Very warm welcoming group of ladies. My dogs love going there, they get plenty of exercise, don't think they want to leave when we pick them up 😊 …
Bridget loves going on holiday to Barnfield she is looked after so well and I am happy and confident that because she loves the staff and enjoys the surroundings so much so that now she visits on a regular.basis. Thank you for the love and attention my best friend always receives.
Our 11 month old cairn stayed with Jen for 8 nights. I felt very confident knowing Jen would take great care of him, in fact being with other dogs whilst there has made him behave better at home so a win win. Would definitely recommend!
We took our dogs to Doghouse for their first home boarding holiday and we couldn't be happier with how it went. Stu & Jeni were so professional and took the best care of our dogs. They had loads of fun and we would definitely recommend Doghouse to anyone. We will be booking our dogs in for their next holiday soon. 😊 …
Absolutely outstanding care for Jasper our WH Fox Terrier, feels like we are dropping Jasper off at home when he goes to stay! Jasper is welcomed like one of the family, couldn’t wish for better ! Excellent value and service too.
Well my two boys Boswell my Cockerpoo and Bradley my Labradoodle had their short back & sides grooming session at The Doghouse today and I was amazed when I went to pick them up. I could tell the sheer hard work and perfection that had gone into their grooms I was absolutely delighted with their cuts they are perfect! I have two very happy chappies and a very happy owner thank you see you in 6 weeks x - K. ROTHWELL 23/01/16
My Cockerpoo Bobby has just finished having his first professional groom with Jeni and Stuart. Absolutely chuffed to bits 😍. Fantastic job, Thank you so much!! x …
Always a pleasure to bring my dog tilly here for grooming friendly professional do an excellent job. And I can leave Tilly knowing she's in safe hands I recommend doghouse to all dog owners
Great groom, friendly hosts especially Otis the resident black Labrador. Would recommend for groom or a doggy holiday in a heartbeat.
Rosie had her second grooming session today and, although she was a little bit nervous, Doghouse handled her with care and now she looks and smells beautiful!
Excellent, friendly service. Have booked my dog in for a regular grooming.
Fantastic people, and very patient with us because Indy always goes in knotted! :-)
Many thanks to Alison & Alan for looking after our 12mth old Border Collie. Nothing was to much trouble and put our minds at rest. We will definitely have no hesitation of leaving Ben in their capable hands and will reccomend them to our friends & family. and anyone else. Next step is get some training lessons from Alan. Many thanks for their help and expertise. From Alison, Pete & Benji.🙂
Been taking our dog since a pup. Always confident he will be looked after
Went to my first obedience class and thoroughly enjoyed it (as did my dog Daisy 😁) Alan made the whole experience interesting fun and educational so will definitely be returning …
Brilliant dog trainer for general behaviour but also specialised gun dog training.
Alison was lovely and we felt comfortable leaving Max with her.
Had a one to one training session with Alan. I found him very knowledgeable ,he pointed me in the right direction. Thank you Alan
Great dog (owner) training...Alan is very entertaining. All done in a safe secure large field.
Best dog training in the area!
Very lovely people
Alan is excellent
Where so I start with my review on Walk On owned by Ms Vanessa Barr? Well, to start with, Vanessa is the only home boarder I will ever send my French Bulldogs to. She is fabulous! Years of experience caring for all types of animals including horses and sheep! She is genuinely a caring, loving, true animal person! She has a 5 STAR COUNCIL LICENCE, full insurance, and is fully pet first aid trained. She is absolutely lovely and so are her family. She lives in a stunning barn conversation in Inskip with private land, including a private woodland where my boys can exercise off lead in a safe and enclosed environment. I never worry when I leave my two with Vanessa and her family. Infact when I go to pick them up they don't want to come home because they are having such a fab time there! So in short - I 1000% highly recommend Walk On! Emma Livesey (Chorley).
Absolutely 1st class service. Was worried about handing my fur babies over but Charlotte put my mind at ease and sent lotd of pics and videos of their walk. The biggest thing for me was when fur babies got home how happy they obviously were and how they had bonded with Charlotte. Highly recommend Walk On.
Just like to say thank you ! I left Jess here for a week. A little unsure at first because I have never used Home Dog Boarding but I certainly will from now on! Attention to detail was great and I received photo's and messages regularly - thanks again I will be using you in the future.
Our dog has just returned from his first extended stay at Walk On, he’s happy, contended and perhaps even a little more chilled out that he was before we went on holiday. 5 star service as always, thank you!
Vanessa is great, Eric our cockerpoo loves her, he's very happy after his walks. I would definitely recommend walk on.
Very good
The owner is amazing
I can’t recommend Southport Holiday Paws enough! Our two boarder collies absolutely love going and spending time with the girls. We get regular updates on how they are doing and you can really see how happy they are. Huge thank yous from us but especially from Ralph and Meg!
Nadia and Russ looked after Finn over the weekend of our daughters wedding. He thoroughly enjoyed his first stay away from us. I received a film and photos of Finn during his stay which eased my mind. Would happily use again and highly recommend .
Fabulous dog boarding. Nadia & Russ cared for our full of energy 10 month old puppy for 4 nights in June. Puppy had a great time, as evidenced by videos and photo updates we received. Nadia & Russ treated our puppy just like their own. They have a lovely secure garden for the dogs to play. We felt totally relaxed leaving our puppy with them . Lovely people who understand and really care about dogs. Highly recommended
Nadia and Russ looked after our two Yorkshire terriers for 16 nights recently. We have never left our girls with someone we didn’t know personally but after our initial first visit to introduce our girls to them we needn’t have worried. Nadia kept me up to date with pics of the girls with their beautiful girls. They were absolutely so well looked after would highly recommend Nadia and Russ and wouldn’t hesitate to book our girls in with them again 10/10 Thank you so much 😊 😊😊😊😊
Before leaving my 11 month puppy, S, with anyone I wanted to be sure that she'd be safe but also happy, with human interaction in a home environment. Nadia and Russ provide this totally and I was comfortable leaving S with them and their dogs. Walking away from the house as she started her four night stay, although already missing her, I had no concerns about leaving her in their expert care. Bonuses: for me: very reasonable cost daily video/picture and updates Nadia and Russ can cope with the things dogs and puppies get up to and took them in their stride, without making me feel guilty about her misdemeanours (she bit the paddling pool). Bonuses: for S: three dogs to play with all day ! (sort of a bonus for me really, as she learnt better manners and picked up only good habits) evening-long tummy rubs from Russ With regard to recommendation, actions speak louder than words and S is booked in with Southport Holiday Paws for another break at the end of this month. Need I say more?
Lulu has been to stay with Nadia and co twice now. Nadia and Russ are brilliant. They have 3 of their own golden retrievers who lulu fitted in with perfectly. Nadia and Russ treated lulu like their own. Communication with them is brilliant. I would definitely recommend!!!!!!
Top class service from Holiday paws. Nadia and Russell made me feel at ease when leaving my dog here. I couldn't recommend them enough.
Very professional, all aspects considered; safety, security and happiness of our pets
