This was a lovely house sit. Danelle and the cats are lovely. The kitties are very sweet and easy to care for. The house is in a beautiful spot looking over a vineyard with loads of afternoon sun. Carcassonne and many other historical sites are within close driving distance.
Gails home is an older remodeled home with all the necessary appliances and comforts. Her two dogs, Leo and George are very low maintenance and are content to be with you in the home on the couch. But they also enjoy short walks which take plenty of time as they sniff every blade of grass and tree, quite relaxing. The house is centrally located and you can easily walk to the city center for a coffee or just to sight see. Thanks for the adventure.
Adam and Luis are excellent hosts with a beautiful apartment in a perfect location for everything you’d need/want to do. Their recommendations for the area were completely on point and they were just overall lovely. Now for the star of the show, Lady Puddlebottom herself. Lady is absolutely adorable. She’s very easy to care for, as she’s pretty much happy as long as you are. There are days when she’s up for a nice long walk, but others she’ll let you know she’s going to sit this one out. Lady loves to play with her toys and take naps on your lap. It was VERY hard leaving her. Already plotting to come back!
I had a wonderful time pet sitting for Christa. She is so kind and thoughtful and even provided a ride to/from the transit stations. I arrived a day before she left so we had a chance to chat and it was great getting to know her and have the ins and outs of the house explained. I was looking for a little taste of home while traveling Europe for a few months and her home gave me just that. Manuel, Minou and Maili are the sweetest cats. They came to welcome me every morning, followed me as I did the gardening, relaxed with me when I sat down. They have all their funny little habits that were a joy to learn. Manuel especially is the cuddle bug of the house and he took every opportunity to jump on my lap for a pet and a nap. I'm going to miss them all so much! Her home is a gorgeous retreat from the city, set on a hilltop overlooking the other hills. You can sit on the deck and watch the sunsets and stargaze with the cats keeping you company. The gardens are expansive and beautiful to look at while you wander through watering, also with the company of the cats. If you're lucky the fruits will be in season and then you can pick fresh fruit to eat most days. I fully recommend this sit for anyone wanting a quiet retreat who enjoys gardening and hanging out with adorable cats. I wouldn't hestitate to sit again if the chance came up. Thank you so much for taking a chance on me Christa!
I had the best time watching Amon for Thomas and Gabi. They were kind, generous, and welcoming. Amon was great fun, and we both enjoyed our daily walks in the forest nearby. My attic room in the house was cozy, abs the garden is beautiful. The house is close to public transit that operates on a predictable schedule. It took me 45-60 min to go between the house and Berlin’s city center, so take care when planning city missions to give yourself enough time without leaving Amon home along for too long. Thank you for everything, Thomas and Gabi!
This pet sitting experience has a lot of potential! The location is perfect, with lovely amenities, and Ligma, the dog, is such a sweetheart and will definitely steal your heart. There were a few hiccups, though. The main bedroom wasn't available (first time in this platform), so I slept on a small couch that had some dog hair and excitement pee from Ligma. Roseanne kindly provided an inflatable mattress, but it didn't stay fully inflated, leading to a bit of back pain. The living room is super bright so be prepared to wake up with the morning sun. I ended not sleeping at her place the last 2 nights. Some kitchen doors, drawers and lights switches were taped shut, which felt a bit unfriendly, and there wasn't a dedicated spot for my stuff, so things got a bit scattered. Despite that, if you dont mind, it’s a great spot to explore the city. Be cautious with Ligma around other dogs, as he can get a bit aggressive, Luckily, he's tiny and easy to handle—I just picked him up when other dogs were nearby. If a comfortable bed is provided, I would consider pet sitting here again.

Barking Mad is an excellent service! I have used Barking Mad for a number of years for my dogs and I've never been disappointed. Our dogs have been very well looked after and when the van pulls up to collect them there is great excitement from them about going on holiday! Elaine and John are genuinely caring towards the dogs and we leave them feeling confident that they will be well looked after and have a great time! Thoroughly recommend.
I have been a Barking Mad Host and service user for almost 20 years. Elaine and John are the third owners I have worked with and not only are they lovely people, they are by far the most enthusiastic, committed owners of the service. Not only do they ensure dogs have a fabulous holiday in appropriate surroundings, they have developed a very caring community for the Hosts. All your lovely dogs are looked after so well in their holiday homes.
After a bad experience with dog care some years ago, I thought I would never go on holiday again – until I found Barking Mad. My pooch has some quirky habits which require particular care and attention – John and Elaine came to the house to meet him, took note of everything down to the smallest detail and found the perfect host who catered for all his needs. I went to visit my family in New Zealand and had heaps of text messages, photos and video showing my dog out on lovely walks, having lots of fun and looking totally relaxed. I have already booked my next holiday and have every confidence that with Barking Mad, my dog will receive the same care, attention and love that he gets at home. I can’t rate this organisation highly enough, they are simply the best.
I cannot recommend barking mad fife enough. When your going on holiday you want your furry friend to be looked after the same way you look after them at home. You want peace of mind and reassurance, this is exactly what Elaine and John provide. No detail is missed out and they cover absolutely everything with you in a 2 hour initial meeting before they board your dog. Our dog has joint issues which can limit some activities, this issue was 100% taken on board while our dog was in Elaine and Johns care. I think it’s important to know any health issues your dog may have will be looked after correctly. You’ll receive updates with photos when you are away- chances are your furry friend is also having a 5 star luxury holiday of their own! The service is second to none and worth every penny. I cannot rate Elaine and John highly enough.
Since we first used John and Elaine at Barking Mad to look after our Gordon Setter "Floyd" for six weeks in 2017 we would not consider placing him anywhere else. He loves going with them and has the time of his life running with the pack in the hills and swimming in the sea. While he's away we get regular pictures and videos sent so we can see how happy he is. We would have no hesitation recommending them even for long stays. Peter and Maureen.
Our last dog Trey, a ‘silver surfer’ was always looked after so well and loved his holibags with Elaine and John. He was a withdrawn guide dog who had bad arthritic legs who just loved people and we worried how he would be staying with others. We needn’t have worried as he loved every second and was always cared for to our exact needs regarding his food and medication. When we lost him our two new girls who are rescue labradors now go on holiday with them too. As I am now disabled it was a huge worry for me that if I had to do anything at short notice, who would look after my dogs? I am so lucky that Elaine and John have always gone the extra mile for me when I have needed care for the girls at very short notice sometimes so that this now is not an issue. If anyone is considering dog care I would say let your dogs go on holiday with John and Elaine. You can have total peace of mind to enjoy whatever you are doing in the knowledge that your fur babies will be having a blast with the best care possible and being treated as part of a family with all their home comforts.
This is a wonderful service, run and owned by 2 devoted dog lovers. Elaine and John are friendly, caring and very professional people, they ensure that you and your dogs safety, comfort any special needs are their main priority. We were extremely happy with every aspect of the service they provided, which allowed my Wife and I to enjoy our break/holiday away, knowing that our 'Kizzi' was safe and happy! Many thanks to you both and we will be using your service anytime we ever wish to go away, when we are unable to take Kizzi.
Excellent service provided by wonderful and devoted staff. Nothing is too much for them as in our case when our pooch has to go to the vets, as she does once a month, it is no hassle whilst we are on holiday. Her dog sitter is excellent as well and we know that the dog is being well cared for. Keep up the good work and I would recommend them to anyone.
Isla y loved her wee holidays with Barking mad. So much that she is jumping up to get into John's car.John and Elaine are fully committed to what they do. It is obvious they both love it. Would definitely recommend Barking Mad. The host's are equally committed to ensuring your wee precious has fun and is cared for.🐩🐩
Once again I would like to thank John and Elaine for their exceptional service and dedication they gave us recently with Flora. Also cannot thank them enough for helping us out at such short notice for my father in laws funeral. Lynne,Alan,Emma and not forgetting Nugget are wonderful hosts. Flora came back bouncy, full of life and started eating without me having to remind her. Whenever Flora sees the bag and the car draws up to fetch her she cannot contain her excitement. Keep up your good work. Elaine and John as we do not know what we would do without your services.x
Julie took fantastic care of our dog Islay when we went on holiday, she sent us daily updates and pictures of all the activities she did with islay. She even bought her a new Kong ball when islay lost her original. She clearly has a passion for what she does and is extremely professional and capable. Would highly recommend and will be definitely using her services again
Would highly recommend Julia to look after your dog. She looked after our puppy for 4 weeks and will definitely be sending Lexie back to her when we go on our next holiday. She sent us regular photos and updates and kept us informed when Lexie had a mild reaction to some salmon oil. Lexie had an amazing time with her and would love to go back! 10/10.
I would highly recommend Julia to everyone who loves their dogs. Julia was looking after my dog for a couple of days and I couldn't be happier with the whole experience. I have been receiving regular updates about Lexi and photos from her daily activities. Knowing that Lexi was so well looked after allowed me to enjoy my time away from her. Lexi came back home very happy too. Julia is amazing in what she is doing and you can see all dogs loves her too.
Our beagle x Luna has now stayed with Julia 3 times and I now wouldn't think of placing her anywhere else whilst we go away. Luna has been to kennels once and it was completely the wrong situation for her but now we have found Julia we no longer worry if she's OK. We have just got Luna back after a 5 night stay and she is a very happy doggy. After her stay in kennels last tear she was very different with us and had developed some bad habits. Now when she goes to Julia's she is dragging us to her door and is still the same dog upon return. This time she didn't even notice we had gone, she ran off to play immediately. Julia sends us updates everyday, letting us know she's getting the best care. Luna is treated like one of Julia's own, Luna adores her. You won't find a better place for your fur baby than with Julia.
This is the 3rd time I’ve left my Kobe with Julia. It was my first time leaving Kobe so I was very anxious. From the very start , Julia put me at ease and she took Kobe for a few sleepovers before we left him for his holiday. Julia, is absolutely fantastic, I feel totally content when I leave Kobe with Julia. It’s just home from home. She is so good to him, he gets loads of walks, attention and snuggles. Her own dogs are absolutely adorable 🥰. Julia, keeps me well updated, she sends me loads of pics and videos which I absolutely love , he always looks so happy and getting these just makes my day. I highly recommend Julia, I wouldn’t leave my Kobe with anyone else now. Thank you so so much Julia for being so kind and caring to my baby boy and looking after him so well for us! Kobe is looking forward to his next stay with you. Xx 😘
Julia has been amazing with our Nyra. She updated us everyday and was super good to our girl. You can tell she loves dogs, not only the experience she has but the love is important too. I’m so happy we’ve found someone who Nyra loves. She looks super happy in all photos and is well taken care of. Won’t go anywhere else now. Fair prices, excellent service and cares for her clients. Thanks Julia.
Julia was looking after our dog for about 2 weeks and we could not be more happy with care that our dog received. We have been updated with photos and activities on a daily basis. Really recommend Julia’s service and definitely will get in touch in the future.
Our dog mollie had a lovely time with Julia and her dogs! Julia was in regular communication throughout and kept us updated with lots of pictures. Would highly recommend and I’ll definitely be using Julia’s services again!
I was attending a wedding and needed a dog sitter (I live in Cheshire) Julia was recommended to me and she did an excellent job looking after my 10 month old pup, who can be a bit timid at times. He had an afternoon of fun and adventures. I loved getting photo updates of what he was doing. I would use Julia again if I needed her.
My pups had a great time with Julia. It was their first time away from home so I was a bit nervous but no need as Julia sent me photos and videos of them having a great time. Would definitely recommend!
My Dog recently joined the dogs at daycare and he's loving every minute of it good service offered safe surroundings and 💯 happy to have found this place . …
Our Freddy loves it, made himself right at home. The owners are excellent, very friendly and extremely professional. Unit is very clean too
Absolutely brilliant place. My dog loves her visits here
Absolutely brilliant. My dog loves going there. The staff are great, the place is wonderful. Cannot say enough good things about it.
Staff brillant place lovely and clean.Has plenty for pups to play with comes home having had a great time .We also get a little video about their day.
What a Fantastic service Kev & Emma have. Friendly and reliable service. can go to work knowing my doggo is in the best care having fun & he’s knackered when he gets home. Wouldn’t go anywhere else 👏🏼 …
Great place, clean, spacious, outdoor and indoor play areas for your dogs. Dogs well looked after. Would highly recommend.
Our 2 kittens were very well looked after at Puddledub while we went on a weekend away. 2 happy and content wee boys. Great value for money and the staff were lovely. Will definitely use them again.
Just Picked up my two happy boy's, who clearly enjoyed the wee holiday at Puddledub Kennels. The guys at the Kennels are very friendly and helpful and clearly they all love dogs as my Two Springers Albert and George were happy to be with them all. Kennels are clean and tidy and all dogs are well looked after. This was the 1st time ever leaving our dogs in Kennels and I would definitely use puddledub kennels again. Thank you sooo much to you all 😊
Absolutely brilliant. Staff love the dogs and give them a lot of time, over and above what is necessary! Can't praise them enough ❤️❤️❤️
The first time we've used Puddlebub Kennels, very good impression. When we dropped him off and picked him up, there was plenty of staff around to help, all of them very friendly. He'd obviously had a good experience as he was his usual happy cheerful self when we picked him up. Will use again for sure.
My dogs love this place, staff are friendly and take good care of your pets
Absolutely brilliant place for my dog to go and I know he is safe and well looked after. Alan, Michelle and their son Andrew are just amazing with all the animals they look after. Caring and thoughtful. The staff they have working with them are just a fabulous team.
Great kennels, Michelle and the team always look after your pets well.
Collected our big boy this morning. This is his second stay here - well looked after again, cared for - happy boy. Staff are amazing 👏 until the next time. Thank you 😊 …
Left my dog last year for a week, nice team. I'm getting back this year for sure. Good pricing and a good place, open space for dog walk and sunny (safe) spaces for the dog to stay outside.
Amazing with our dog while we were away on holiday in july
Absolutely the best decision we made getting Jemina to walk our fur baby. Our old dog walker was great, but he was walked on his own and on the lead. We noticed though he just wasn’t a happy boy and wasn’t excited about his walks. He now sits at the door and goes nuts when he sees Jemina, as he knows he is getting out to play with his furry friends. He is happy, safe and now loving his walks. We get updates on her Facebook page and can see how happy he is. Highly recommend Jemina x
I must say after using Jemima’s company it’s saved me a lot of agro! My dogs are always very relaxed and happy after a walk with Jemima. I couldn’t recommend her services enough and thanks so much for everything you are doing Jemima! I’m really looking forward to having them stay with you eventually whenever I go away on holiday!
I bought my retriever Milo to fife doggy home care last week for a trial walk. I get quite nervous to leave him anywhere as he is a bit anxious around new settings/ people. From the moment I dropped him off he was confident and comfortable and obsessed with Jemima. When I returned for pick up after the walk he hardly wanted to leave (slightly offended 😂). I would recommend to anyone in need of dog walking/ assistance. Thanks again for all your help! Can’t wait for when he can stay with you whilst we are away skiing! 🩷
Just a note, Jemima, to say how incredibly proud of you I am for leaving the rat-race and setting up this business: doing what you love! You are very knowledgeable about all things dog, and I couldn't be prouder of the responsible and compassionate young woman you have become. I would absolutely recommend your services to anyone in need of a trustworthy and reliable dog walker. Keep up the fantastic work! Love Mum X
Jemima is a brilliant dog walker and my boy loves her. She is professional, reliable and caring, and she really makes an effort to ensure my boy has a great time. Thanks, Jemima! It’s reassuring to know he’s in great hands! Xx
Jemima is a natural, well informed and calm dog walker. Whilst out dog walking with Jemima I've observed her interaction and friendly nature with all dogs. The walk is all about the dogs as she focuses on each individual dog and their surroundings and can call them to heel, when necessary, to keep them safe. Jemima is confident, patient and fun to be around especially with dogs.
Jemima’s services are brilliant! Continues to impress. Very efficient drop off and pick up system for walking my dog, would highly recommend!
Jamima is such a nice caring person and loves her animals. Has a lot of patients with dogs. Highly recommend
Very happy to recommend Fife Doggy Homecare, Jemima provides very caring, responsible and intuitive dog-centered care.
Very happy to recommend Fife Doggy Homecare, Jemima is great with dogs, she really understands them.
Miriam looked after our Cavapoo puppy Max for a week. We couldn’t recommend her highly enough. We had regular updates on Max throughout the week who was well looked after and cared for. We had complete piece of mind during our holiday. Miriam was great to deal with, she also provided us with a lot of useful tips and suggestions with Max going forward. She is very knowledgeable about dog breeds in general. Brilliant service and Max will be back for his ‘pawlidays’ again soon 🐾
Fantastic service throughout. Our little dog was well looked after and had a great time meeting new friends. It truly is a home from home service and we are already booked in for another. Thank you for all you do.
Gave me some very helpful feedback regarding my 2 doggies, although she couldn’t board them herself she was super insightful and gave me some other trusted boarder recommendations!
Honestly what a genuine lovely lady miriam is although she was fully booked on the dates I needed she went above and beyond with lots of helpful information moving forward, recommend advice she gave, the amount of time she took out her own day to talk with me reassuring me and going threw option I'm so grateful for. I would highly recommend her service based on our own chat for the last 2 hours nothing was a problem if anything I have gained knowledge/ understanding of my own wee dog this lady is hands down a lovely soul thank you Tanya x
I have been using Bespoke Home from Home Dog Boarding for many years - the first time was just after Miriam started it all! Border collie Mac was just a young dog then and he was always well cared for and given that extra special love and attention that you want for your special pet when you have to leave them. We have had 4 different carers over the years and all have been excellent. We now have two dogs, 2 border collies Mac and Midge, and whenever we leave them, we are confident that that they are in safe hands and that they will be cared for as you would care for them yourself at home. Sometimes, it is hard to tear them away and bring them home, they have had such a great time!! Thank you! :)
Unfortunately she couldn't board my dog, but she spent a lot of time with me trying to help me out. A very helpful lady who gave her time when she didn't have to.
Bespoke Dog Boarding was highly recommended to me by my vet. I telephoned the owner of the company and we had a detailed chat about my dog and his requirements, also his daily routine. I was most impressed by the owner of the company and can tell that she clearly is very knowledgeable about dog breeds in general. I was concerned that my dog who is a loveable middle aged lab, would be home boarded alongside, for example, a "Staffie" but after reading these other reviews, I am delighted to say that dogs who some may consider as potentially dangerous breeds would not be allowed to board with Bespoke Dog Boarding. This gave me peace of mind. I then met with one of the dog carers, who fell in love with my boy straight away and vice versa. The carers home and garden was beautiful. We spend over half an hour with the carer and played with my dog in the garden. I could see how happy he would be if he were to come here for his holidays. I have now used Bespoke Dog Boarding 3 times this year already as the service is fantastic. The dogs receive 3 or 4 lengthy walks each day, loving home comforts, constant companionship and I also received updates during my holiday followed by a selection of beautiful photographs after my holiday, showing Bailey having a super time with another 2 dogs from different families. When I collected him, he didn't want to leave!!!! I have now highly recommended Bespoke Dog Boarding to all of my dog friends. I would advise others to make a booking months in advance of your holiday as they are usually fully booked 6 months to a year in advance by all their regular clients. However I have sometimes asked for a short notice booking and if they have availability they will take Bailey. To the team of dog carers who may read this, thank-you for providing me with total peace of mind and I look forward to using your service for many more years to come.
Used Miriam for my dog Bailies 14 years at least three times a year and couldn’t fault her. She dosnt take dangerous breeds which I feel is a great thing as it is only for the safety of our own dogs . I can’t beleive the below negative posts when thease people have even used the company because they didn’t make it through the strict criteria . Well done Bespoke for not taking any dog just to make more money . Fabulous service and genuine dog lovers .
Had a good phone call with bespoke she gave me good advice highly recommend her will use her in the future thanks so much
Murdo has been looked after by Colin & Mary on several occasions. His second home, I have no problem leaving him and know he'll be well looked after with lots of walks and cuddles.
Had a stress free holiday thanks to pets on the beach. Very professional. Buster so enjoyed his time their thanks to the photos and the videos of play days. Highly recommended. He can't wait for next one.
All the Team at POTB are brilliant with the Dogs, Highly Recommend … Radley 🐾🐾 Patiently waiting on getting picked up for his walk/field play, he loves it… ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ …
Cheryl has been the best introduction into our dog Frankie's life. She is reliable, honest, friendly, professional... the list goes on! Frankie adores her and his fellow friends, he looks forward to her coming to pick him up for his afternoon walks and comes home ready for a snooze after all his fun! We cannot recommend Cheryl enough to anyone who is looking for a dog walking service that puts time and care into the wellbeing of her furry family. 🐾🐶💙
Milly absolutely loves her dog walks with Cheryl and you can really tell she cares about every dog! She is so trustworthy and reliable and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend. We also really appreciate the pictures she takes on the walks of all the dogs having fun playing🐶🐾xx …
I would highly recommend Paw’s & Pooches Dog walking services Kirkcaldy. My two fur babies Baillie and Koko get really excited when they get to go on their group walk with Cheryl. Koko used to escape and wouldn’t come back when called but Cheryl has her off the lead and comes back when out one her walks with the pack.
My dog nessa loves going out with Cheryl, she is super excited when she comes to collect her. Cheryl Genuinely loves & cares for the dog's she looks after ❤️ highly recommended 👌 …
Chico has been going with Cheryl since he was a puppy and absolutely LOVES her 🤍 couldn’t recommend Cheryl enough. She’s amazing with my boy 💙 …
Barking Mad Edinburgh is a great reliable service and I can't thank the girls enough for their attention to detail, great service and care. No problem is too big and they are always willing to go above and beyond. Highly recommended and we look forward to using Barking Mad Edinburgh in the future!
Tina and Stuart are genuine animal lovers and that left me feeling so relaxed, knowing my pups were being loved and looked after. Definitely recommend!
A great and reliable service, can't recommend them enough!
