We recommend Lynn 100 percent!!! If you get a chance to get Lynn as your sitter, don’t hesitate. Lynn was the dream sitter for our little guy Felix, who is usually very wary of new people in his life. This was Felix’s first time being separated from his humans for a prolonged period and his stomach acted up because of it. We are forever in Lynn’s debt: she nursed Felix back to health by consulting with the zeewoi’s vet, feeding him special dog food, and most of all, being very patient and loving. Felix is a sweet pup but, because he spent his early puppyhood at a shelter, can be very shy and not easily trusting. But when we came back from our trip, it was very obvious that Felix developed a strong bond with Lynn. Throughout our trip, Lynn stayed in regular touch with us despite the time difference. Lynn consulted with us when she was unsure of something with the apartment or Felix, but we felt the entire time we were away that we left the apartment and our sweet pup with a very kind, intelligent, and all around competent person. Lynn also kept the apartment in great shape. As we become adults, it seems that our worlds get smaller along with our chances to meet great people. We feel lucky to have met Lynn through zeewoi and consider Lynn our friend. Thank you so much Lynn!

We took our two GSDs to stay at Heathrow boarding kennels recently.We took them there as we had heard good reports about their experience with larger breed dogs. Neither of our dogs have been in kennels before and our two year old working line GSD is not fully socialised due to health issues in the first year of his life. They were booked in for nearly three weeks . When we picked them up they were very happy, clean and healthy. Our working line GSD was fussing Tracey and cried for her when we left. We’re so pleased to have found Heathrow kennels and wouldn’t consider anywhere else. We can’t thank everyone there enough for looking after our dogs so well.
Lovely staff , clean and tidy kennels and even an Akira and Alsatian rescue, we collected our new Serbian rescue, Sadie mae
Thought we try using Heathrow kennel as read many good reviews. Very dissapointed to receive our dog in a terrible condition. His mouth stained with poo, smelly and he had few days of diarrhoea. We never encountered this problem with other kennels over the years . Ususlly they walked our dog 2x per day to allow toileting apart from preventing dogs being coupped up in the kennel. It is questionable, does Heathrow kennel apply the same practice as when we arrived at the premesis, we can see they were over subscribed with so many dogs and cats to care for. Hence the quality of care was poor. Will never use this place again. Just as well it was a short stay. Can't imagine what would happen to our dog if it was a longer stay.
Absolutely fabulous place to take your dogs if you need to go out of town. We shipped our two dogs Lupe and Sheamus into London a day before us. These wonderful ladies picked up our dogs from the HARC and kept them over night for us until we could pick them up the next day. These ladies are simply lovely and took top notch care of my pups. If you are active military or a US Government sivilian working in the UK , then please consider using them and their fabulous business to pick up your furry loved one!
First experience of using Heathrow Kennels (1 week) and was very satisfied with service. Had previously been using Silverdale in Feltham for last 25 years so hard act to follow but first impressions are excellent. Good facilities with enough space for exercise, so dogs are not left cooped up all day. Everything else looked clean and dogs seem well looked after. Staff are very friendly and accommodating and clearly love all the residents as they also rescue German Shepherds. Our boy seemed happy enough when we picked him up and had obviously been bathed, within the cost, which was a very nice bonus. Will definitely use again.
We have been leaving our GSD in Dorie's care for the last 3 years whenever we go on holiday. Our dog is always well cared for, clean and well fed when at the kennels. I would not hesitate to recommend these kennels to others and would not consider using anyone else to look after our dog. The staff are friendly, helpful and seem to genuinely enjoy their work.
Heathrow Boarding Kennels did help us out in a very last minute and looked after our kitten over Festive Break. After picking up our kitten I could clearly see that he was in good caring hands as he was well looked after. Highly recommended!
I have been a regular user of Heathrow Boarding since 2010. I have always found all staff to be polite, courteous, knowledgeable and helpful. Above all there has always been a terrific sense of caring and love for my, and all dogs. I wouldn't take her anywhere else. I would recommend this establishment wholeheartedly to anyone who wants piece of mind when going away that their beloved pet will be cherished and very well cared for. My dog even misses the place when I bring her home!
I felt extremely nervous about dropping our boy being a big dog and all, but I really needn't of worried.. fantastic friendly staff! Greeted at the gates with a smile, and lots of cuddles & kisses for our boy. Spacious, secure kennels with staff I know will look after him! Will always recommend.
Our dog, after travelling from Australia and being on the ground in Dubai for 22 hours spent one night at HARC and then had to go into kennels for one more night until we arrived. Our taxi took us to the premises and being at the end of a very narrow lane we assumed the proprietors were in the house with 2 large white vans outside with the business logo on them both. We knocked - no answer. Eventually we found a gate around the side of the property and was rudely greeted by the proprietor who nastily complained that we had woken the tenants in The house and we should not have knocked on the door. Well madam, there would be no need to knock on the door if you erected clear signage for your customers to follow. I wouldn’t recommend using these kennels to anyone, they were less than basic and quite honestly the local council should be condemning them. Doesn’t look like any investment has been made since it first opened. We had a 4 hour journey and got out of there as quickly as we could. She didn’t even offer to fill the dog crate water bowl! My dog deserved better and I will be letting the pet shipping company know how poor these facilities are.
My Cocker spaniel, Willie, loved going here every day. Anna was able to take her for lovely walks and sent pictures of her having a great time. Definitely recommend.
Coco has had quite a few stays now with Anna and is always happy to see her. She is relaxed, confident and happy, has lots of walks and attention. In turn, we can relax in the knowledge that Coco is well cared for. We’d highly recommend Happy Hounds Holidays.
Our dog loved staying at anna’s house and we knew Rex was in good hands after he’s stayed a few times. Anna gives updates and we know takes the dogs on a long walk each day which he loved. Thank you Anna!
We, and I mean me and my sweet Samantha just love Anna. She is so gentle and takes care with the instructions for our sweet Samantha. She walks her daily and they are nice long walks in the park. Her house and yard are set up nicely and Samantha always love seeing Anna and the other dogs she has in her care. She sends us pictures of her day and it warms our heart and we have no worries leaving her knowing Anna will take good care and provide lots of attention. Happy Hounds Holiday is a loving place for dogs. Thank you Anna!
Our little boy Hendricks spent a few nights with Anna while we were recently abroad, I was quite anxious about leaving him as he’s still a puppy and can be demanding at times! Anna put me completely at rest, she operates a home from home service which was exactly what he needed. She sent me pictures of their lovely long walks and he was even taken for a swim which is his absolute favourite thing! We will certainly be using Anna again for our holiday care. Thank you so much!
Anna is just a dream, she does a brilliant job looking after my little Pom and he loves going to hers. He can be a bit nervous around new dogs and people but Anna is so relaxed and calm with him that he really seems to thrive on his visits.
My dogs hate to leave Anna which is heartbreaking for me but such a relief as they are treated like queens! They are walked in the most beautiful places and I get lots of beautiful pictures of them enjoying themselves! I highly recommend!!
Thank you Shannon and team for offering such a great service. We love Pets Windsor are always happy to help, flexible and brilliant with our dog. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.
We Love Pets - Windsor are amazing! I would be truly lost without them. Such a brilliant service. Dog walkers are all very professional. Shannon is just fab! They really put my mind at ease.
They simply do not answer! And this after multiple emails and online enquiries. Not very professional, wouldn't recommend even trying to contact them, they will probably just ghost you. The sad part is that the only reason I decided to enquire was because I had met one of their dog walkers while out with my dog, and, when I asked for her contact details, she said she was not able to give those to me since she had signed a contract with this We Love Pets company and was legally unable to give me her details for dog walking and sitting services. Bit cheeky if you ask me... I needed a dog walker since my previous one moved away, and I immediately had a great rapport with the young lady I met, so hoped that if I booked in with the company, I would be able to book in with that dog walker. I've since forgotten her name, but I hope that if she sees this she'll reach out! Long story short, don't bother with this company. Much better private alternatives out there that actually answer!
Such a great team! Marlo loves all the ladies that come to walk her. They show her so much affection and she always has post walk zoomies :-)
Shannon is amazing with our dog. She’s reliable and easy to contact. Would definitely recommend.
Claire is brilliant. The dogs loved her and she provided photos of her walks. Barbara Goldie
Our dog has a lovely time with the walkers and is always excited to see them!
Really helpful owners easy to work with. Know my animals will be looked after when I'm away.
Jasmine has been amazing with our two Dalmatians for the past couple of years and treats the two as if they were her own. She is always reliable and is available to take care of them if we are ever away. Would 100% recommend and can only speak positively about our experiences with Jasmine. The doggies absolutely love her which should say enough!
Jasmine has been an absolute godsend for me and my reactive dog Jagger. We have been working with her for a few years now and she is knowledgeable, caring and always puts the wellbeing of the animals in her care first. Jagger has come leaps and bounds with her help, and when we experience set backs she's happy to refocus and help Jagger rebuild confidence. Thanks to Jasmine he now has a weekly walk with two other dogs - something that at one time seemed impossible. She's also been an incredible emotional support to me on this difficult journey. If you have a reactive dog and you're worried about trusting another person to understand their boundaries I cannot recommend her enough. She has changed both our lives for the better and we will forever be grateful. Jagger loves aunty Jasmine and runs out the door with her happy and excited every time. Thank you so much Jasmine, I have no idea where we would be without you.
Jasmine is a kind and reliable dog walker who has been walking my young Cockerpoo 5 days a week. Bella loves her walks with Jasmine. I would highly recommend her services
Jasmine is brilliant. We have two large dogs (boxer/staffie X) and Jasmine walked them for the past 12 months at least twice a week. She is extremely knowledgeable, great at making sure they got into good habits, and ultimately makes sure they have a great time in her company. At times Jasmine would have to collect or drop them off whilst we were not at home and this was never an issue, and she made our lives so much easier. We’d never hesitate to recommend Jasmine to others
I have trusted Jasmine with my dog walks for around 6 months now. She treats my dog like her own and always sends me pictures of their walks together! I’m so glad I’ve found someone I can trust to help with dog care, as me and my partner work all day and it’s nice to know our dog is in safe hands while we aren’t there!
Jasmine is a very experienced and professional dog walker who loves my dogs as if they were her own. She is patient and completely reliable. She offers optional trackers, has an online shared calendars for her clients, sends daily photos, the list goes on! Her knowledge of dogs and her ability to read dog behaviour is outstanding. My dogs go on one of her group walks, and I highly doubt I will ever go to another! I cannot recommend Jasmine and JS Pet Care enough.
Great service tailored to each dogs individual needs. Extremely reliable and caring. My boy is a rescue and not the biggest fan of humans, but he loves Jo!
Highly recommended, jo occasionally takes my dog out for walks, she is very reliable and is always keeping me updated with pictures and where they go. Always accommodates the dates we need even last minute
Joanna takes pride in her job my dog loves her and loves going for walks always tired when he comes back all in all a very professional service with a massive animal lover 👍🏻
Christian’s service was really great. I was really worried in the beginning that I wouldn’t find a Dog walker that could manage my Staffie cross Rottweiler as he is very hyperactive and tends to pull on the leash, but she was amazing with him, my Bruno really loves children and I was very happy when Christina’s daughter Jasmine joined them for a walk to play with Bruno. She kept me updated and sent me pictures and videos of every walk. I really recommend 😊
It was a last minute and Christina came to the rescue to sit our cat for the week. She did everything and our cat was happy and so wer we. Definitely recommend. Very polite and friendly . Thank you again!
Its the first time I needed my cats looked after so we can go on holiday. Looking for someone who can take care of your fur babies can be scarey but when I met Christina you instantly know she is a genuine animal lover my cats took to her instantly and they are fussy to whom they approach. Christina sent daily pics and updates of her visits when we came back you could tell they cats hadnt really missed us as they were so well looked after. Thank you Christina
Christina is a genuine animal lover. She is reliable, trustworthy and very professional. My Boy really enjoys his walk with Christina and I know that he is in safe hands with Christina. I would strongly recommend her services.
Cannot recommend Christina enough. While on caravanning holiday in Cornwall and due to travel up to Windsor on the Saturday we got a call on the Friday and let down by the dog day care we had booked for Sunday/Monday while we went into Legoland. I got in touch with Christina and at such short notice she managed to take our 8 month old (very large 30kg) pup Marlo for both days. She sent us photos and updates throughout both days and I simply had to text as we were leaving Legoland each day so she she could get him ready to leave. The second day I was nervous he might not want to be left again but he was excited to see her and her children and went in happily, tail wagging. Thanks to Christina our holiday was not ruined and we still got to go to Legoland while we knew our baby was safe and happy- thanks Christina your a star ⭐️
I am so thankful to Christina for looking after my two ringneck parrots. She arranged a separate room for them. My parrots were fed fresh fruits and vegetables as per their diet. Most importantly I was updated every single day with their pictures and videos. This was so kind of her. My birds were very comfortable and relaxed at her place. I would definitely recommend her to my friends and would love to keep my birds with her in future too.
Christina was absulutely amazing. She provided my 3 pups an awesome home. She has a beautiful home, a great back garden and she kept me up to date with photos and information. I have used a few carers before and havent met anyone that great. 100% reccomended👌
A very happy Guinness back from his holiday with Christina.Knowing he is cared for, safe and loved means so much to us. We love seeing the pictures of his enjoying himself. We wouldn't send him anywhere else. Can't recommend Christina Pet Care enough !!!
Thank you a lot to Christina for looking after my Poppy. Poppy returns home full of happiness and good energy. I fully recommend Christina's services for providing a high standard Pet Care. I will definitely use your services soon .
Christina was amazing. She made me feel so comfortable leaving my cat with her for a week, always updating me every day on one she is. I would definitely recommend her :)
My dog Lulu can be a bit tricky and with my wedding coming up, my usual carers won't be available. So I turned to Home From Home Dog Boarding to start building a connection with a capable carer. We were introduced to Monika and Alessandro who turned out to be more than perfect. They have great experience with bigger and stronger dogs. Lulu had a great weekend and I didn't worry once whilst I was away for the weekend. They sent great updates and took Lulu out for day trips and were so accommodating when plans changed and I needed to pick her up later than planned. She had a great time and is already booked in for more holidays and I can know that I can focus on my wedding next year and not worry about Lulu enjoying herself as well!
We have used home from boarding twice now and both times they have been excellent. We have you two different carers for our dog Skye and both times they have been brilliant! Keeping us updated with messages and photos both times. This is a great peace of mind that your dog is safe and in great hands. Please pass on our thanks to Maddie for all her efforts on the last stay. Thanks again home from home boarding
Ive used Home from Home dog boarding for years now and can honestly say they are the best. The usual carer they went to wasn’t available so they stayed with Natalie and her husband H. Such a lovely couple, who adore dogs and have lots of experience. I got daily updates and went away knowing they’re being looked after. If anything happens to one of them there’s 24 hour support from Home from Home. Staff in the office are so friendly and helpful. Highly recommended
I had a tricky challenge to sort. Having secured a hard won place on a round the world yacht race who could look after my precious pup for months? I found the answer with Home from Home. They were 110% helpful and supportive from the moment I contacted them. The person they found to look after my dog was wonderful and took the very best care of her. All watched over by the Home from Home team. Thank you all for your wonderful service. I highly recommend them.
amazing couple Pam & John looked after my anxious girl. She had such a lovely time she was unsure about coming home!! Thank you for a perfect couple who I woukd trust again.
We cannot thank Home from Home Boarding, and especially Nicola, enough for the amazing care she provided for our 7-month-old dachshund puppy, Remi! This was our first time leaving her, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The company was incredibly efficient and quick to get in touch, making the entire process smooth and stress-free. Knowing that Remi was in the hands of someone who genuinely cared for her and gave her undivided love and attention 24/7 was such a relief. Nicola was FANTASTIC! She made us feel so comfortable from the start and kept us updated with the most lovely ‘pupdates’ that brightened our days while we were away. It was clear how much Nicola cared for Remi, and it gave us complete peace of mind knowing she was in such good hands, if anything Remi has been returned better behaved than when we left! We highly recommend Home from Home Boarding and Nicola to anyone needing a trusted and caring home from home for their furry family member. Thank you so much! 🌟🐾
First time using Home from Home Boarding for my boy. Morris was placed with a lovely couple who treated him like he was there own. This made my holiday worry free knowing he was in safe hands. Will definitely be using again . Thank you Joyce and Dave.
This is the second time Eddie and Vera have looked after Tiago and despite there being a year in between stays he was so excited to see them and return to their home. It is so reassuring for my wife and I to know that he is happy and well cared for by them and we are very grateful that he too had a wonderful holiday! Thank you Eddie and Vera! The Home From Home booking experience is straightforward and easy and we are very happy that it provided us with great carers for our dog.
Excellent, efficient and friendly service from Home from Home. The lady they found for us (Pat) is delightful. So lovely with our dogs and has a beautiful garden which they loved. Can highly recommend, thank you.
We visited the family first before committing to the booking, and that made us confident our dog would be in safe hands and well looked after. We delivered the dog with all the bedding, food, toys, meds, treats. And when we collected her after the boarding, it's clear there was an affectionate bond between the dog and the family (both ways). She was very well cared for, and I'd say she had a fantastic time. Wendy send us a few photos over WhatsApp too — lovely to see. Will be booking again next year.
This was the first time I put Reggie into the kennels, The staff assured me that he would be fine. They kept me up-to-date with pictures. looks like he was having a wonderful time he met loads of new friends, they also do a daycare that Reggie will be going to , The staff Are very friendly and helpful , I will definitely be putting him In there again 100% A big thank you to all the staff
As you can see, one very happy pup! Would highly recommend their services. The staff are so lovely and welcoming and made my Dalmatian feel at home.
Our cat Luna received such wonderful care from Emma & her lovely team. This was the first time that we had left our fur baby & we can't thank Emma enough for taking such excellent care of our Luna, while we were abroad for 2 weeks. Initially Luna wasn't eating well, so bless her Emma went to the trouble of buying a selection of meals & treats to tempt Luna, which thankfully worked. Emma sent us photos & videos of our beloved Luna & we could clearly see that Luna was content & in excellent hands. We would highly recommend Mutts n Moggies, they provide an excellent service, a safe and secure environment and they have such a wonderful caring team. Nothing was too much trouble for them.Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of our beloved Luna, we wouldn't hesitate to use your services again.
Use this for my two dogs when we are on holiday. The facilities are good and the staff are very friendly but it gets booked up in advance so if you want to use for the summer holiday need to book at least 4-6 months in advance
We went for a viewing today, and the lady we spoke with who gave us a tour was genuinely lovely. She was so bubbly and knowledgeable. She couldn't have done more to assist us. Not many places will even take one working protection dog with open arms, let alone 3, but they were so accommodating and reassuring. I have already booked in, and from what I have seen so far, we will be a regular customer, hopefully.
Marie the owner is amazing. My small dog is diabetic and nervous and can snap out of fear and Marie spent an hour or two over several visits winning his trust and spending the time to get him used to the surroundings. I really can't praise the business and all the staff highly enough. Would recommend to anyone needing a pet hotel
We (Tulips & Tails Pet Photography) have done a two Photo Shoot days here and have seen how well the pups are looked after. Marie and the team clearly have a great understanding of Doggy behaviour and clearly love dogs!! As a local business we have no issues at all recommending them to our clients and have booked our pup into Both Daycare and the Kennels too. Highly Recommended!
I have used mutts N moggies for years the staff are fantastic and the kennels are lovely I have peace of mind knowing my pets are in great hands
Dog seemed to have a great time here, couldn't ask her for her feedback (obviously)!! The staff were very friendly, they post pictures of the dogs on their FB page so you can see how they are getting on. When we picked the pooch up they let us know how she was and we would definitely book here again.
My 15 month old ridgeback absolutely loves going to Mutts N Moggies. She is well looked after and is completed ready for bed when she comes home. Pictures taken during the day are brilliant
Never, ever have I seen my dog so happy as he is spending time here.
Tony is absolutely wonderful. Our 3 year old Labrador Barley always has such a great time at both doggy day care & overnight stays. Only person we trust Barley with when we go away. Highly recommend!
Tony is amazing he really helped me with kobe my puppy, with off the lead training, Tony is very kind and understanding, and with his experience and advice, nothing is too much trouble, my pup really loves him and he was so responsive to Tony and loving every minute of his training..he's great with the owners and their dogs giving great understanding and help to make dogs and owners happy..thankyou Tony.
Highly recommend! Tony was looking after my cat Gumball, and the whole experience was fantastic. He was extremely professional and flexible, I was getting daily pictures and video updates. There was no problems doing small adjustments in food portions etc. He also did one of my now favourite pics of my derpy cat 😂 overall strongly recommend:)
Wow finding someone to help look after our little dog (Prince) when we are away the same way we do was so worrying but Tony is like the horse whisperer (but for dogs) not sure how but Tony managed to calm a working cocker spaniel, feeling so much better about our next trip away without our beloved pet dog.
Tony recently provided some training for my golden retriever Snowy who is reactive on lead. Tony was very patient, explained everything so well, gave some great insights into canine behaviour & made the training feel easy to follow & understandable. I would highly recommend Tony for any pet training you may need.
Tony has been so helpful throughout our training and he is always available to talk and give tips on training and progress. He regularly checks in with us to see how our boy is doing too. It’s clear that he really cares about the animals and wants the best for them.
I could not recommend Tony enough . He goes above and beyond with his services. He has been looking after my dogs for 2 years. He is so kind and patient with them 😊 …
Tony is wonderful! He goes above and beyond. He has been supporting us with training our young puppy, giving clear advice and suggestions, and always on hand for ad hoc advice too, with regular messages to check up that things are going well, giving us the confidence we need to be good paw parents. Can’t recommend him highly enough. Thanks Tony! 🐾
Tony and Savina are amazing pet parents to my dogs. They look after my rescue dogs and my puppies who have grown into lovely young adults. They care deeply for each of them, understand their personalities and in return, they are very much loved by each one of them. I recommend them for day care and boarding. Dogs are truly happy with them!
I had contacted Tony for help with walking and with discipline for my Beagle. Tony has been amazing and very caring. After going with the training Max no longer pulls on his lead. I would really recommend using Tony as this had really made our lives easier!
