Oscar is the most delightfully laid back cat who likes a cuddle and enjoys sleeping on your bed. I spent the first night of this pet-sit alone in the house but Oscar was great company! Andrea’s home is extremely comfortable and in a great location. Communication was good before and during the sit and Andrea was very hospitable. We certainly hope to cat sit again! A wonderful place, a gorgeous cat and in my home town - perfect! Thank you Andrea. x
Shaga is the most beautiful old lady I have EVER encountered. I spent a blissful week in Sarah’s lovely house with this heavenly creature as my constant companion and found myself reluctant to leave the house and her charming company! She really is an absolute superstar and incredibly easy to care for and just bursting with love and fun…. she even has her own fan club in the street! Sarah is the loveliest of people and provided me with fantastic instructions for both house and hound. I would jump at the chance to care for Shaga again and recommmend this sit as a 5*
The housesit at Reagan's was perfect. I spent two weeks there, and it was great. Hazel is a very lovable and well-behaved dog. I had no problems with her at all. She always behaved well, listened perfectly, is very friendly, and walks exceptionally well on the leash. (I don't know what the previous sitter meant about the shoes; Hazel has no such habits). Reagan is very easygoing and friendly, and we got along wonderfully. The house has everything you need; it's an old house with a lot of charm, a large kitchen, super comfortable TV chairs, and a beautiful garden where fireflies danced every evening. So sweet. A very well-stocked supermarket is within walking distance, and there is parking for the car behind the house. The area is great for hiking, and it's not far to Ricketts Glen State Park and various state game lands. Definitely recommend a sit here.
It was a pleasure to look after Poes Pas. Kristina and Karsten are lovely, welcoming people who were so hospitable to us. Their apartment is beautiful, clean and comfortable. It is in a fantastic position, close to all the happenings of the town and also a very short walk to the main train station. Poes was a dream to look after and has such a cute little meow when he wants some attention and pats. Very loveable little kitty.
I had a wonderful 9 days with Orphelia and Cosmo. It was a very easy housesit as Kathleen left me detailed instructions and the cats had a regular routine. Although a bit shy at first, both kitties warmed up to me within a day or two. Cosmo loves to play and Orphelia loves to cuddle. Kathleen is very welcoming and friendly, making sure I had everything I needed for a comfortable stay. Her home is spacious and comfortable in a very safe area of Pittsfield. I highly recommend this housesit.
Cynthia's cat, GiGi, is social and a wonderful lap warmer. The flat is a cozy nest filled with books, music, and art. I came without a personal car and it was easy to get to the flat using the Metra commuter train. It was too cold a day to schlep my wonky rollabaord so I opted for a short Lyft ride to the flat. In warmer weather it's an easy walk. For getting into Chicago there's a bus stop a few minutes' walk from the flat. Despite the frigid temps outside, the flat was warm and comfortable. I'm looking forward to sitting for Cynthia and GiGi again.

I would suggest people avoid at all costs. The owner "looks after" your pets/family by leaving them alone to bark all day and or night long. Last time it was for over 4 hours. Constant barking. Clearly an animal in need. The RSPCA have been notified for neglect. I hope the full weight of the law is exacted. Edit: Mavis, I will not contact you privately. This has been going on for years. I moved to Tarrant Monkton in 2001. The dogs you "look after" were, and are frequently left outside in all weather whilst you used to go out to the pub, (before you fell out with the Landlady) or out in general. Leaving them to bark at all hours until you return to them. I would be livid if you treated my dog this way. You are lucky so many people have given you leeway this long for living in the village. Being woken up at all hours, the peace of the village broke consistently for no reason other than your lack of commitment to those pets. My review is factual and others will confirm this. If you don't want bad reviews, don't act in a bad manner. ****AVOID**** Second Edit: Geraldine, perhaps you should come down from your home two villages away sometime and experience it first hand. If you doubt myself, please feel free to knock on doors in Tarrant Launceston and or Tarrant Monkton to ask for others experiences. Experiences not opinions. Unfortunately your ignorance is not an excuse. It is common knowledge that you and others including Mavis don't support the local pub, or charity events. Also that you and Mavis host nights involving the early hours and alcohol. . The drama surrounding a select few in the Tarrants could pose a threat to most "reality" TV programmes. As I have stated previously, bad reviews come from bad experiences. Not fiction. This concludes my review permanently and any further reviews you, or Mavis' other friends post. Please note, your fake review(s) have been reported as misleading. Good day. ****AVOID****
What a shame this person has chosen to express his disgruntlement in such a personal, vindictive and misguided way. Mavis’s loyal clients know these claims to be untrue - her concern for the animals in her care is beyond question.
Mavis at Homestead Per Care has been lovingly looking after my “forever friends” for the past 15 years and I trust her explicitly. Be it for the odd day care whilst I’m working to weeks of boarding whilst I’m away, I’m absolutely confident that my dogs are being lovingly looked after. I could not recommend Mavis enough, both of my spaniels have adored her and can not wait to return!
Mavis has looked after our dogs for nearly 20 years and we are very grateful for the care she gives them.
Mavis has been expertly looking after my animals - dogs at Homestead and ducks at my home - for many years. I wouldn’t go to anyone else!
Mavis is great with our two dogs .thay really enjoy going to homestead
Foggy has just returned from his wonderful Dorset holiday with Julie. He has had two lovely long walks every day and lots of attention - he returned fit and happy and we were able to relax on our holiday knowing that he was being well looked after all the time we were away. Foggy had a lovely space for his bed and we saw some super photos of him looking completely at home. Julie also sent us photos of Foggy out walking in the countryside with his new companions. We are so happy to have found Julie and family of Mucky Boots Dorset. We look forward to seeing you again very soon! Susie & Richard
Marlowe has been having holidays with Julie at Mucky Boots for the past two years. He loves his time with her as it involves long, interesting walks in the countryside or even sometimes at the beach. He also enjoys the company of Barney, Julie's dog and other friendly visitors. The frequent updates with photos of him having fun or just relaxing, reassure us that we're not the only ones on holiday! Julie's love and affection for her doggy visitors shines through. I'm so glad we found her!
Charlie stayed with Julie at Mucky Boots for a week. She had such a lovely time - a real holiday for her and the first time ever that I have been able to relax being away, knowing she was being so well looked after. The daily updates made me think she wouldn't want to come home! So nice for her to have company on walks with other lovely dogs. I would definitely recommend Mucky Boots for anyone looking for professional dog care in beautiful surroundings with someone who so obviously loves dogs.
Our lab retriever Oscar is always looked after superbly by Julie and her husband. They have a lovely comfortable environment for their doggie guests and Oscar comes back from his holiday fit, happy, content and exhausted. Julie cares deeply about every dog and her attention to their needs is wonderful. She also sends photos every couple of days showing your dog enjoying lovely Dorset walkies with furry friends. I can’t recommend Mucky Boots highly enough, we would be lost without them. Thank you Julie x
Such a lovely lady my dog loves it. Julie takes care to introduce dogs slowly and safely, they go on walks, play in the garden and have a happy time. Great she is local authority registered and insured too.
Bertie loves this place - I only have to say that Bertie is going on holiday to see Julie & Barney and he's at the car door without a backward look! He sends photos every other day on his walks with his doggie friends and comes home happy and exhausted. He would recommend Julie to everybody.
My JRT who has a few issues had a fantastic time here. Julie was wonderful she sent pictures during his day and I received a message afterwards to check on how he was once back home.
First time stay for Lenny and really happy with the introduction and communication during our holiday. He had a lovely time and so pleased we found Mucky Boots!
Our dogs can't wait to go there. Well cared for and well exercised
Fantastic service George loves his time out allways comes home cream crackerd.
I contacted Jess as I needed a house sitter to look after my dogs, cats, chickens, hamster and bearded dragon! I have never had a house sitter before but Jess was amazing from start to finish. She got on so well with all the animals, including my reactive dog and they were well looked after. I was kept up to date with photos and felt like they were all in safe hands. Home was clean and tidy when I returned and I am ever so grateful for Jess. Made me want to go on holiday again and I will 100% book Jess once I start looking. Big thank you from all of us :) x
Jess is a brilliant pet sitter and dog walker. She is always reliable, punctual and easy to communicate with. Best of all our dog is completely obsessed with her so we know she is going to have a great time!
A brilliant service. Jess is always on time, very capable and clearly knowledgeable. My boys are always hysterically excited to see Jess and return happy and tired.
Jess is a wonderful, dependable dog walker for our springer Rex. She accommodates our ad hoc requests and keeps updated on timings. I love the photos of Rex during their walks and can see she really does give him a long hour long walk. Thank Jess, we really appreciate you.
We were very happy to leave our little dog in the safe hands with Jess while we were away for the weekend. She attended to him in between her dog walking and stayed with him for two nights. He was well cared for and had a lovely time with her. Thank you so much Jess for taking good care of Herbie, we would welcome you into our home anytime to care for him again. 🐶 xx
Jess is great with my dog Ernie. Excellent service - great comms, timekeeping and service. Money well-spent. Highly recommended.
Jess is wonderful with my 2 dogs. Very reliable and always on time. Dogs are cleaned after a muddy walk and are always happy to see Jess before they go splashing in muddy puddles. Highly recommend.
Jess is great with our boxer and he loves walking with her. She always has great communication with us and when staying overnight in our home, left it exactly as she found it. Highly recommend her as a dog walker/sitter.
The waggy tail that greets Jess and his enthusiasm to go with her tells me he loves his walks. From the human perspective Jess is reliable, professional and clearly looks after the dogs in her care.
Jess walks my mother-in-law’s Golden Retriever puppy, Lily, on the days my husband and I can’t walk her. Lily is so excited to see Jess and loves her walks around the village. Jess provides a fantastic service and is reliable, trustworthy and friendly. She is flexible with timings and provides me with feedback which is brilliant. It gives us great peace of mind knowing that Lily is in safe hands. I would highly recommend Jess to anyone who is looking for a professional, responsible, and caring dog walker. Thank you, Jess!
Lily & Rosco say they loved Paws and Klaws when they rented out a field they had so so much fun esp Lily as she cannot be let off as her recall is so bad so she made the most of every second! Lily and Rosco absolutely recommend it as it’s enclosed and safe with fabric up so the dogs can’t see anything through the fence it has lots of agility equipment in it and water bowl and lots of tennis balls to chase they can’t plant it and will be returning as soon as possible they are both tired out and sleeping! (COLLIES)
If would come every day if I could ! Absolutely fantastic !!! I cannot recommend enough! I hired the pool and it was incredible. Spare towels, plenty of balls, shelter if needed, a net to get toys out of the water, a ladder for accessibility for humans and even doggy planks for them to get out of the water! Amazing quality for price ! We brought our 5 dogs for £20 and a 50 minute session. Alex was incredibly helpful too so thank you very much!! I’ve booked for next month already!
Though it’s been over a year, I still feel strongly about what happened during my dog’s stay, so I wanted to share my experience. I had booked my Giant Schnauzer into Paws and Claws for a three-week stay while I was due to travel to Australia. After just one day, however, I received a call from the kennel informing me that my dog had bitten a staff member’s finger, and they insisted I collect him immediately despite my travel plans. Their website promises that pets will be 'cuddled, stroked, warm, loved, played with, and kept in utmost comfort throughout their stay,' but in my case, it seemed they were unprepared to handle a breed like a Giant Schnauzer. My dog has a protective nature and can be anxious around unfamiliar people. I believe that, due to this lack of understanding, a staff member was bitten while trying to photograph him. If you have a dog with an anxious or protective temperament, I recommend seeking a kennel with experience handling similar breeds. This experience was both stressful and disappointing, and I would advise others to be cautious if they own dogs with similar needs.
Booked to use the secure field so my younger pup could have some off lead fun with my older dog. Great facilities, dogs had a blast and loved all the agility equipment.
Amazing place for you dog, we used their day care when we travelled to Yeovil, and we were welcome very warmly! It was a first for Snow, and she did not want to go back home! Very highly recommended!
Took my boy, and my friends dog to paws n klaws today, my first time not theirs. We had an absolute blast. The staff were so beyond kind and helpful. The dogs had the beat time and so did we the pool was the perfect temp aswell during the heat. We can't wait to come back 🙌 …
Jasper enjoys puppy play enormously and comes home exhausted. He has also made loads of friends. The staff are very friendly and happy to chat and help if any issues. Highly recommend 😁 …
What a setup and what an amazing bunch of people. Lulu LOVES doggy daycare. They pick her up drop her off and she has the best time with all her buddies.
Charlie loves it at Paws n Klaws - he is so excited when he arrives and doesn't want to leave. The staff are fantastic.
Friendly staff and the secure fields are well maintained
Lyndsay is fantastic. I would highly recommend her. She has been looking after my Cats before she started her business. I trust her 100%. She was almost as sad as me when my cats sadly died and was excited to meet my little adoptee. She takes exceptional care of her, grooming and playing with her - and that all important feeding! I love the photos she sends through, always reassuring me that all is well. Crumble is always happy to see me when I get back but I know she’s in safe hands with Lyndsay. It makes going away possible as I know Crumble will get as much love and attention as I would give her were I there!
As a first time "puppy mummy", its quite daunting leaving your little fur baby with anyone else but having used Safe Hanns on many occasions over the last year, i will never use anyone else! Lyndsay and family are fantastic with our Labrador, Georgie and my mind is completely at ease when we go anywhere and cant take the pup. Whether its walks, playtime or just lots of cuddles, I can always guarantee that Georgie is always treated like a princess and nothing is too much trouble. Thank you so much and see you soon!!! Xx
Lindsay is an absolute god send ! We first started using Lindsay when I was heavily pregnant and my partner was working away . From the start my dog (reactive) took to her extremely well . She took all of our worries on board and now buddy is absolutely loving his 2 weekly walks . He waits at the door on the days she is due . We have pictures sent of him when they go for walks and always have a debrief of how he was on his walk . She always goes above and beyond her dog walking duties and has become a lovely friend xx
Lyndsay has looked after my cat, William, on more than one occasion, over the past year. She is a conscientious and caring person who understands animals very well. She is also very reliable and communicative - I really appreciated her reassuring updates whilst I was away. I would highly recommend Lyndsay and her service.
Lyndsay is incredibly professional and great with our dogs who each have their own quirks - one who doesn't like other dogs and one who chases after runners & bikes!! They love her & I always know that when she's out with them she gives them the utmost care. Regular updates via WhatsApp and helpful tips about how to stop our BFG from pulling you over! Would definitely recommend
Lyndsay is fantastic 👏 my dog absolutely adores her. ❤ nothing is ever too much for her. Trustworthy and empathic with my dog. She is more than just our dog walker. She's become part of our little family. If you need some help with your pets, look no further Safe Hann's is perfect. 😇😁
She goes above and beyond to look after our beloved giggles. I would use her services again if I got another dog. I highly recommend this dog Walker.
Lyndsay is great! My dogs ( unfortunately now dog) absolutely love her. Very trustworthy and super reliable!
Lyndsay is absolutely amazing with my 3 girls, this statement is not to be taken lightly as I am THAT overprotective furbaby mum. Completely trustworthy, has a key to my home as she walks them whilst I'm at work , always reliable and gives me regular updates and pics to put my mind at ease, they are really 3 happy little girls when they see lyndsay ❤
Safe Hanns offer high quality care for your much loved pets
Hayley and her team have been amazing with our reactive Rottweiler Bella. They've really taken their time with her to help build some trust. They completely understood how stressed Bella gets meeting new people and dogs and have done everything to help her overcome her fears. It's still early days but we're taking Bella to day care at Dog Luv one day every month in the hope to build her confidence. So far she's doing really well and it's all thanks to the great team who truly luv dogs. Thanks all.
It was Buddy’s first time staying at a kennel. Hayley, Paul and their staff were amazing. We have come home to a very happy dog. Thank you😊 …
All of the staff we met were very friendly and more than happy to help with anything. You can really tell they enjoy their job. It's nice to be able to see photos on their Facebook page too, it definitely helped to put my mind at ease. (Pictures posted on their Facebook Page)
I can not recommend Dog Luv kennels highly enough. The owners and all of the staff are absolutely incredible, they are all so caring and they get to know the dogs and care for them as if they were their own. The kennels are always spotless and the facilities are fantastic with lots of space for the dogs to run around. You can rest assured that with Dog Luv, you are leaving your dog in a very safe, caring and happy environment, we would never take our dog anywhere else
Our dog is happy when dropped off there, and very lively when picked up, seems to tick all the boxes !!!
Unfortunately didn't like the service as the staff can't take a dog from the space where they sleep to area where they play without moaning. If your dog doesn't behave like a robot, they don't want it, honestly.
I picked up my chihuahua mix a couple hours ago, i had to leave her there for about 20 days. I cannot explain how happy i am with Hayley’s services. My dog came home clean, as well as her harness and beddings. She looked very comfortable and relaxed as we were picking her up which is really uncommon as my dog is quite snappy, anxious and aggressive towards strangers. Communication was amazing. While i was gone i received many pictures and videos of the dog, as well as frequent updates on how she is doing. Hayley doesn’t only tells you the things you’d like to hear, she is very honest and truthful, she’s also providing solutions to any occurring issues. Safe to say, i would a 100% recommend, they’re the best for a reason and i’d happily give a higher rating if i could. My dog is going to miss being around her.
We boarded our dog here for one day whilst on holiday. Our girl isn't very good around other dogs but as soon as the lady took control of her she settled immediately, even though there were other dogs around. I was very happy to leave her, her handler appeared very competent and Ruby looked really comfortable with her. Excellent care and service and great value (£12.50 for the day!) Highly recommended.
Great experience. Oscar’s first time in kennels, (at nine and a half), & we couldn’t help but worry. But there was no need. The people were lovely & Oscar came back happy. It was a real bonus seeing Oscar running around on Facebook while we were away. No hesitation in recommending.
Love using Dog luv kennels. I leave my dog in safe hands. The photos they take show her doesn't miss me when I'm away!
Have used Debonair Dogs reguarly over the last 2 years. Debbie is always pleasant and is really good with my precious boys. The salon is kept clean and tidy and so is all the grooming equipment. I have had appointments at different times or the day and have seen the salon first thing in the morning and I've also been the last client of the day. Yes, later appointments there is dog hair bagged up from the days grooming as one would expect from a top groomer. I wouldn't take either of my dogs anywhere else.
First impressions when walking through the door is that the grooming parlour hasn't been cleaned in months. Surfaces were covered in thick dust, it smelt and there were piles of dog hair on the floor and a bin bag full of hair in the corner. The grooming table was dirty as were the grooming tools. If it hadn't been for the case that we desperately needed our dog to be groomed we would have walked straight out again and not left our dog to be clipped. On later inspection of my dog's coat it was very unevenly clipped and was not at all impressed. The owner though clearly very knowledgeable had a lecturing way of talking to you. Will NOT be returning again.
Deb' personifies the true meaning of love and care for our furbabies. Thank you for the friendship over many years.
As Tina Turner says simply the best. Alfie pulls on his lead to go in and see Debbie and loves sleeping on the sofa which he is not allowed in do at home.
Debbie is so brilliant with the dogs, I would trust her with anything.
Amazing, does my dogs nails so quickly yet expertly which is amazing as he hates having it done but she does it just wonderfully!
Absolutely lovely lady who knows her stuff about dogs. My buddy loves her ❤
Excellent service, it's always a really good cut.
Debbie is wonderful with all dogs. Go there.
Really good service and friendly would recommend
Fantastic service from a real animal lover, Roxy has always been reliable, flexible and most of all my dog loves her to bits. Keep up the good work!
Absolutely perfect quality and care for a very reasonable price, my cocker willow had all her needs met while with the service and the people are lovely and felt at ease straight off the bat!
Really nice person and has been super helpful looking after my cats.
Tracy is a great help to us as a professional working couple. Being able to step in and walk our dogs, along with house sitting where necessary. She is trustworthy, attentive and a lovely person, being able to control our large, energetic dogs giving them not only the exercise they need but also reinforcing recall and obedience training. We have just returned from a weekend away to our contented dogs, a clean house and some beautiful flowers left in a vase. We value her services and thoroughly recommend her to others!
We used Aunty Muddy to take care of our two borders while we were getting married at Lulworth. They had a lovely time (as evidenced by photos and a diary of their exploits!) before coming over to take part in the wedding photos all dressed up in their new leads and collars. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend. (Had a pre-wedding day walk so that the dogs could get used to Aunty Muddy - and her to them!) Thanks
My dogs have been part of the Muddy Gang for over 6 years! I can honestly say there not many people I trust with my pups, but I do trust Tracy. Both dogs adore their walks with Auntie Muddy and always come back with smiles on their faces! Absolutely love seeing the photos of them having fun with their friends - especially the boop shots! I couldn’t recommend Muddy Puddles highly enough.
Aunty Muddy is an wonderful cat sitter! We have used her several times to cat sit so that we have piece of mind while we are away knowing our cats are being looked after beautifully with lots of attention and cuddles, and she never just drops the food and leaves, she really does spend time with them! Invaluable!
Thank you so much for looking after Hugo so well at our wedding before, during the ceremony and after! As you know I was a bit nervous at the start as we've never had anyone look after him apart from family before but when I saw him doing all sort of tricks on the lawn in front of the castle that he doesn't do for us I knew he was absolutely fine! I loved having the photo updates throughout the day, it made me so happy to see him having such a fun time. We love the photo album you've sent and the cracking photo of him I from of the castle, thank you! We will definitely want to use you again and thanks for making the process all so easy and stress free it's exactly what we needed leading up to the wedding!
Tracy offers a range of fantastic services which are great value for money. She is really polite and helpful, nothing seems too much trouble. Thoroughly recommended!
The owner is absolutely wonderful. The service is fantastic. 1st class customer service and perfect care. Your animals could not be in better hands
Lovely dog walker and pet sitter
Best ever dog boarding we have ever used. Our dogs love going there. Rose gives them all 100% love. Her home in clean fresh and a safe environment with good outside space. Dogs get plenty of walkies, and love the photos she posts daily on her F B page. You can leave your dog with Rose with confidence.
Rose and Jon took care of Sprocket on several occasion from small overnight visits to whole weeks when off on holiday. Sprocket was always looked after and Roses goes above and beyond. Highly recommended.
Rose and Jon have looked after my dog woody on several occasions . The care he receives goes above and beyond . I can’t wish for anything better . Highly recommended .
Wonderful, caring environment for your pets. First class service and attention. Would highly recommend. There’s no one else I’d trust my pet with.
