It was a pleasure to housesit for Carol and John. They picked us up from Limoges and drove us back which was much appreciated since we didn't have our own car. The house is comfortable and easy. The location is beautiful, on the outskirts of a tiny village but close to fabulous countryside, where the dogs could run free and we walk at out own pace, exploring wine fields and small forests. The dogs are incredibly well behaved and it was easy to look after them. Bentley always stayed close to us on walks, but Teddy took off like he normally does. They also left a car for us to go to the nearest towns to buy groceries and explore a bit, which was great, but we stayed home a lot because I needed to work on my own stuff. We stayed one night before they left and one night after which suited everyone perfectly. Thank you John and Carol for choosing us. We recommend the place for everyone who is looking for peace and quiet.
I drove back to Skye and it was strange to not see a pair of eyes looking back at me in the rear view mirror! Reina came everywhere with me and was a great walking companion for our mini adventures. Kitty liked anything warm: the sun, the fire or a lap and quietly was the boss. Kate provided an excellent map for the locality showing where Reina could be on/off lead as well as useful OS maps for places of interest in the wider area of East and West Cowal. The house in Otter Ferry is right on the loch shore and provided ever changing views from the picture window. It's a very special place, like a retreat in itself. A car is essential due to its remoteness but well worth the experience!
We had a very nice time sitting Jura and Orla in Elgin! Jura is a beautiful dog, full of energy and very friendly. We had nice walks in the area. Orla is pretty independent, but very friendly when you call and give some cuddles. They get along very well, we enjoyed our lazy time in and peaceful walks out. The area is beautiful, perfect for walks, amazing nature and very nice neighbors. The house was very nice and fresh, and exceptionally clean on our arrival. Location is close to the town center but deliveries work well too. Angela was very nice, met us in train station and showed us around. A perfect sit for the ones loving peaceful walks, nature, but also have a comfort of a city nearby.
Fantastic lady and a lovely dog,the house was lovely. You do need a vehicle but if you enjoy the countryside this place is ideal. Sophie (piggy) the dog was such a great girl. Anna the owner is a lovely lady
Loved staying with Mr Sauce, in Chris and Elaine's beautiful home up in the hills. Sauce is a very vocal and friendly guy, slept in bed with me throughout the week, showed up regularly for his desired quota of pets, and was generally a great companion. The weather cooperated and you can't beat waking up every morning to an incredible view of the Bay. Elaine was very communicative and accommodated my staying at the place one night even though she had to cut her trip short and return early. I would love to sit again!
Sheri is a wonderful host. Everything was easy and very comfortable. Her fur babies are two of the most affectionate dogs I’ve ever met! 💜🐶🐶💜

Would highly recommend K9 Capers to anyone looking for dog walking or boarding. We've been using Tim now on a regular basis for many years and he loves Maggie (our Jack Russell) like she's his own. We trust him totally to look after her daily and also for times we've been away, sometimes for a week and Maggie has always had a great time! Tim really understands the importance of each dogs needs and how they all differ. Tim himself is such a lovely guy and so personable. So anyone needing their beloved dog to be walked or looked after should definitely give K9 Capers a shout.
Tim has been walking my two huskies from the beginning of his dog caring journey. Huskies need long walks and are not good off lead. Tim has taken this on board and given his very best to my two taking them to a variety of places to keep them interested and stimulated. My two love him to bits and he does an amazing job with them. They do have minds of their own and i think Tim's arms are probably a couple of inches longer than when he started :-).
We have used Tim for 3 years now. Our Boxer Brie loves going out with him and her mates. In the wet weather Brie is a complete pain because she loves puddle jumping (much to poor Tims diamay) but she does always come home fairly clean, thanks to his portable shower! During the time Brie has been with Tim she has had problems with her cruciate ligaments, Tim has helped her through with considerate walking regimes. Needless to say he cares for your dog as if they were his own. Would highly recommend Tim if you are looking for a dog walker.
Tim has expertly managed my three fear aggressive dogs. They couldn’t be walked by just anyone due to their trust issues with humans firstly and secondly other dogs. To be able to relax 100% always knowing that your dogs, as troubled as they are, with someone who understands them, has absolute compassion but at the same time gives them confidence is priceless. We never thought we could find someone who could tick all the boxes. So to have Tim who does that and more has been liberating. Couldn’t recommend him more highly. Professional and absolutely reliable and not to mention adored by our dogs.
Over the last 3 years since walking my dogs Tim has never let me down, whether walking them, helping me out with vets appointments and having them board when i am on holiday. I know 100% that they are in safe hands. Even the 3 hours he spent with me on a Saturday afternoon looking for Neo when he went AWOL from my house!!! One call and he was there to help me out without hesitation.
Cannot recommend Tim highly enough. Our dog loves every minute of her walk.
I feel quite strongly amount writing this review. I have only been using Neil, Essex Pet Services for a short while. Neil has a naturally calming demeanour which is essential for my very spirited dog. He is genuinely incredibly good with animals and provides a home from home environment. He is contactable, honest and reliable. Anyone who has spent a few minutes in Neil’s company would truly believe he only has the animals in his care at heart. Having used a previous home broader for the past 2 and a half years I was very nerves about trusting my dog with someone new, however Neil completely won my trust the moment I met him, each time I’ve used Neil my dog has return home happy, healthy and content.
Essex Pet Services have been walking and boarding my dog Micha for nearly 5 years now. Neil and the team know their stuff. She is picked up and dropped off, making life so much easier. The prices are beyond reasonable. Neil is amazing with Micha, she loves to see him, and gets so excited when she hears the van. Cannot recommend these guys highly enough. Would not trust anyone else with my fur baby. Thank you so much xx
Essex pet services are absolutely amazing!!!!! My dog Belle loves staying with Neil on her holidays & loves going out for walks with him. She gets mega excited when she sees him and it’s great piece of mind to know that our Belle is being looked after & loved whilst we are away. I wouldn’t leave my dog with anyone else! Not only are they professional but they are the most caring people I’ve ever met.
I can not recommend Neil more! There is no one else i would trust to look after my pets. Regardless of the speculation of late I will continue to use Essex Pet Services with absolute peace in my heart. Neil is a very sincere and compassionate human being. Unfortunately, we live in a world where the media sometimes manipulates facts. Keep up good work Neil!
We’ve been using Neil & Maddy since 2015. Neil even brought our dogs to our wedding so we could have them in our photos on our special day. We’ve since moved to Suffolk and still use Neil for boarding when we go abroad. Our dogs love and remember Neil and always come back happy and worn out.
We love Essex Pet services. Always reliable. Always dependable. We would be totally lost without the love care and attention that our dogs get when we can’t be there to do it. Could not recommend highly enough. Neil deserves a bloody knighthood.
Neil is a real life Doctor Doolittle! My dog is very wary around new people but she took to Neil immediately. I couldn’t be more happy with the service and the price and would highly recommend Essex Pet Services. Don’t believe everything you read in the papers either.
Excellent service. The company has looked after our Italian Spinone for over 6 months 3 days a week. Always accommodating and our dog gets a great doggy day care service with plenty of exercise and stimulation. The company posts videos and photos regularly So we can see how he is enjoying his days. Would definitely recommend.
Highly recommend these guys, our Milo loves spending time with them and any mention of uncle Neil and he goes crazy! They have looked after him since he was a crazy pup (he's still crazy) and we are so happy that we choose these guys to look after him. They had him during our 2 week honeymoon and everytime we go away. There is nobody that I would trust to have my boy while I'm away. Thanks for all you do and Milo loves you all.
At the drop of a hat neil has been there for me and looked after my pets without hesitation. He shows nothing but love and affection to my animals and they are so excited everytime he arrives to pick them up. The hate campaign against him is totally unfair and to destroy someones livelyhood like this is beyond my understanding. I highly recommend Neil's services as he is someone who takes the upmost care of my pets.
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
I would give 6 stars if I could. The name of her business is spot on, she looks after the dogs like they're her own. She has been an absolute God send for me and my Mum the last few years when my Mum has been in hospital, its like a holiday for him when he stays with her
My Dog Dipsi went for a nights trial before we booked for our holiday . Dipsi is a bit of a princess so we were not sure how it would go . (She is very spoilt at home). She had obviously had a lovely time when we picked her up she was really happy (lots of waggy tails). and walks and cuddles on her stay really reassuring to get the photo updates ,knowing she was happy . I would really recommend . Thank you for for looking after her so well .
My dog loved it there for 3 days. Will definitely use again
My Best friend lives here and they love dogs I definitely recommend here
very good, stroked my dog nicely.
Thank you x
My dog has been home boarded by Totally Barking since he was a puppy, he's now 9. Wouldn't have him go anywhere else. On occasions when I'm out the house for too long during the day, Jen picks him up for a walk. He loves her endlessly!
It's good to have a company boarding my dogs that I total confidence in!
Paws n Go is fantastic! Michelle has been looking after my dog since she was a tiny pup (she's now 3 years old) and the service that she provides is first class. I am so pleased that Michelle has been able to expand her business and has been joined by Natalie. The doggy day care centre they have created is amazing and my dog adores her time there. Both ladies care and love Honey like she was their own dog and I have total faith in them. I would 100% recommend Paws n Go!
My dog Loki, a big beautiful greyhound has been enjoying doggy daycare and boarding with Michelle for over a year now. Michelle has been amazing during that time,I trust her whole heartedly not just in my home but with my most precious boy. He is always happy to see her with a big wagging tail. A friendly, helpful, professional service, cannot recommend highly enough. Lovely people doing a fantastic job, who have become friends in the process.
Fantastic service and reasonable costs. We send our Tilly to Michelle every year and she is treated like one of the family. Tilly loves her holidays and Michelle. Wouldnt go anywhere else.
Paw n go have looked after our 2 dogs for many years. Michelle is amazing, i couldn't ask for any more. Its a home away from home for our boys
We were so impressed with the way Michelle at paws n go has looked after our dogs since they were pups that Natalie has now become part of the Doggy Day care team
Great service, my dog came back so happy, will definitely use this company again!
Really poor communication from this company. Tried charging us £60 for 18 hours (1evening/night) this was a trail night before the main holiday. Was then told trial nights are not good for the business and don't recommend them. Considering the holiday was only £200 would of spent more on trail nights. More interested in money than the actually welfare. Do not use
Do Not trust these people, they are all about money and do not vet their boarders, no checks they take on anyone willing to pay a fee.. contact your local council and ask for licensing officer and get a list of proper professional licensed boarders, then you know you can trust them.. this is a money making venture to rip people off..
pet care service is great, home for your pets if you're going for a holiday.
Excellent company
My pet has never been so well looked after. She gets so excited when she knows she is off to see Ashley. I would not leave my girl with anyone else a real home from home.
Just dropped off our doggie for her first visit. Well organised and excellent customer service. I think she may have just as nice a holiday as we will 😁 …
So happy to have found someone we can trust to love our Meg as much as we do! Could not recommend Dawn higher. Totally trustworthy, we would be lost without her.
Debbie is a wonderful choice to look after your pets. She looks after our two cats whenever we are away and we feel relaxed and comfortable with her having access to our property. Her attentive and experienced demeanor and attitude puts our cats at ease and we always return happy knowing that the cats have had a stress free time. So much better than putting them in a cattery. Highly recommended.
Debbie long term boards my royal python while I'm at uni until I can afford to move her up to live with me. She's the best boarder I can imagine, she clearly knows a lot about reptiles, and the other animals she boards, and is fully insured. Debbie gives me regular updates on my python's activity and feeding, and is always friendly and happy to chat about her well-being! Would definitely recommend, to anyone looking for pet-sitting focused on your animals needs!
I am so happy I found the Pet Fairy. My two dogs love going there and I know they are treated like family members. I have been using this service for over 4 years and would not leave them anywhere else. It really is home from home for them. Also reassuring to know the Pet Fairy is fully insured, and qualified in first aid and pet sitting. Highly recommended.
I am so glad we found Debbie! We’ve been using her services for about 2 years now She’s been incredible, never said no to any unexpected schedule changes and Ernie our dog absolutely loves daycare plays! Could not recommend her more.
Being a dog walker myself and an owner of two gorgeous labradors who are my world, when i moved to westcliff I had to still run my business which meant me being away all day, so i needed someone i can trust, and believe me when i say I have met many a dog walker in my time and can spot someone who genuinely cares about dogs. Debbie is the person i chose over all others.. Thanks Debbie for looking after my girls.
Amazing! I have two very old dogs who need feel safe and cared for, they can be wary of strangers. Both took to Debbie immediately and I feel completely happy to have her look after them.
My two rescue dogs love to see their auntie Debbie for a walk, and I'm always confident and relaxed when she pet sits in my home for my clan, dogs, birds cats chucks, she keeps them all happy and well looked after.
We love Southend Pet Fairy, she takes us for lovely walks and plays with us lots ~ Our Mum loves her too because she can relax when she gets home from work instead of having to worry about us. ~ Travis & Frank 2 aging Collies.
The most professional, reliable and friendly service. Your dogs and, or cats will be safe, happy and loved. Worth every single penny and more.
Debbie is awesum. She's been looking after my dogs for over a year and she has never let me down...
Home of good doggos
Thank you Jade.
Cheers for that Kevin.
