Karen and Andy were absolute gems and we highly recommend them for your next housesit without reservation. From the initial conversations through to our arrival, the two were highly responsive and took care in answering any questions we had. First word that comes to mind was "Responsible". On their arrival, they took to our dogs right away and settled in without any issues. Throughout their stay, they sent us photos and videos that we absolutely loved. And when they left, our apartment was immaculate (even better than we left it). The dogs were happy and more importantly, we were happy! Thank you Karen and Andy, for taking care of our fur babies with as much love as we would. And for being amazing house sitters!
Fleur took great care of our pet and house. I'd definitely have her back to sit again.

My cats stayed here last year and it gave me peace of mind knowing they were well looked after by Susan whilst we were away. Highly recommend
Our cat Louis stayed here recently while we were visiting the area. He had a great stay and was well looked after. Will definitely be using again as moving nearby. Susan and Diane were very friendly and helpful and put my Husband's mind at rest!
We have been taking our cat here since moving to the area in March. She settles well and is always relaxed and happy when we pick her up. We have total confidence in Susan and her excellent cattery.
Having put my cat into meadow lodge cattery following a trip to the vet.I had no concerns at all she would receive the care and attention she needed at this time.Not only were her medication given daily, Susan made sure it was on food she would eat.She also managed her stay ,as she needed heat and rest. All catered for in an excellent professional manner . Many thanks Susan
Our little cat goes in happy, comes out happy - what more do you want from a cattery. I have absolute confidence in Susan and her staff.
Maisie, our cat, takes regular holidays with Susan at Meadow Lodge. She says, Meeow it's great.
Really nice looking cattery, very friendly and accommodating and our cat always comes home happy!
We have been to look with a view to book, facilities really clean and a lovely friendly environment. We will be booking for are cats to go on their holidays.
Lovley cattery, always take my boy there, would,nt want to take him anywhere else, Susan is so good with all the fur babies
Just moved to the area and had been told this place was good, well i give this cattery an A**, we will be making the 1hr trip over to put willow in next time we away.
Vippies is without a doubt the best dog care facility I have ever come across. These people cannot do enough for you and your pet! I leave my darling boy with them for weekends of foster care - the updates are constant, the carers are truly so committed to ensuring your dog is happy, walked, and loved the same way they would be at home. Denny loves his holidays to Cathy's or Vippies HQ and always comes home happy, or sometimes devastated to be leaving his friends!
Beautiful first puppy groom for willow Dee did an amazing job just what I asked for and she smelled amazing Thankyou Dee
Cooper has just come home from his 2nd full day at Vippies! He absolutely loves going for the day and has had a full groom too. We’ve found it’s helped his socialisation with other dogs and the staff are so friendly. Thank you!
Really happy with the care my cat received from Vippies whilst on holiday. It's my first time using them, but I received lots of pictures that reassured me he was doing okay without us, and they were super helpful adapting our care plan to increase visits at short notice. Super happy with the service
So pleased I found Vippies. The company is professionally run, with family at the heart. Having Zara look after my dog Ruby, who loves her as much as I do, is the icing on the cake. I couldn’t wish for anyone better to look after her, and all for an excellent price too. Thank you 🐾 …
The most amazing team. Sheena, Jade and Jasmin and everyone associated with Vippies are honestly so amazing. They are all so caring and go above and beyond, they’ve made me feel so at ease leaving my pup with them since I’ve moved to the area. With constant updates/ reassurance with pictures on WhatsApp, I almost thought at one point my dog wouldn’t want to come back after having so much fun! If your looking for reliable, caring and professional people to daycare/walk/dog sit your dog please look no further! Thank you again guys you are all awesome 🤍
Sheena, Jade, and the team are always welcoming, helpful, and extremely knowledgeable. They have always taken the greatest care of our dogs and have already done wonders for Ted (our black labrador) who lacked socialisation as a puppy. Highly recommend using VIPPIES for your pet needs - we wouldn't take our dogs anywhere else.
Excellent efficient team…. Nothing is too much trouble. The care and compassion for looking after and walking our dogs really shines through. Maisie and Alfie always enjoy their walks and times spent in holiday care, and we can relax knowing they are having as much fun as we are!
I have been using Vippies for a few years. Rob is our main worker. He is trustworthy and on most times visits Bella and Lilly my British short haired twice a day. . He follows care plans and always does that bit extra sending photos and messages. Thanks Rob. And He leaves a treat there favourite Dreamies.
We've been taking our miniature dachshund here for about 3 weeks now and whilst he's shy and reactive around other dogs he loves that he can have cuddles and human affection here in a home from home environment. Seeing how his confidence has come on in a short space of time and his reactivity has gone down! Don't get me wrong he has a long way to go but just by being here he seems to be a happier dog. He's doesn't do well with being alone so reducing that through daycare has helped tremendously. We also get multiple photos and updates everytime he attends from him having a shy day and cuddling the staff to his walks with other dogs and playing. It's nice to see him having the confidence to actually be a dog that he just didn't have before. Also hes out like a light when we get home which is always a bonus 😂
My cocker spaniel, has been looked after by Lizzie for a few years now, and he loves her to bits. When we arrive In the car he just cannot wait to get in to her and his pals. She also has a secured field where they can run of lead and keep you up to date with pics. I can’t fault her in anyway so of course he is off on his hollibobs with Lizzie later on in the year. Fab lady.🐕🦺🐕🦺🐕🦺
Our Border Terrier loves going to see Lizzie, he gets very excited as we turn the corner to drop him off, excellent care can't praise Lizzie highly enough thoroughly recommend Safe and Sound pet care
Lizzie is fabulous. Lottie loves going there and we feel completely at home knowing she is loved and cared for. Thanks
Highly recommended
We have been taking our dog to Barsey Walk for a number of years and we are very happy with the care he receives. On arrival and departure the staff have always been very friendly, caring and kind. We appreciate the fact that we can go on holiday safe in the knowledge that our dog will be well cared for. Thank you Jane, Rory and all your staff.
Our dogs have been going to Jane's for 11 years now and we wouldn't take them anywhere else. They are always greeted as friends and are well caref for. Drop off and pick up are for 1 hour slots am and pm because the staff are busy caring for your loved ones in the meantime. I've never had cause to question their care
Reasonable price, however concerned when hubby went to collect at 9am, both our border collies had not been fed, toys we left for them were left in the outer run so no access during the night as there were shut in small sleeping quarters approx 6' × 4'. I know I wanted both kept together, however did think they would have bigger sleeping quarters particularly when there was 2 large dog baskets in that small space so not really room for them to stretch their legs. I don't know how long they had been shut in that space, I really hope it wasn't all night. Needless to say they couldn't get out of there quick enough.
I've been using Bardsey Walk for the last 4 years to accommodate my German Shepherd Dog whilst I'm sometimes away at work or on holiday It's a great rural location, warm, well lit , good big exercise area and the staff are always really friendly. I also think in this time of rising prices it's excellent value for money and I'd highly recommend it!
Great facilities, friendly and helpful staff. Happy doggos!
Our dog always comes back bright eyed and bushy tailed, you can tell she has been well looked after and cared for and we are very happy with the service we receive from Jane, Paul and the team. Peace of mind for our trips away.
They are simply the best - spent many years taking my dogs to another Kennels leaving him with his tail down. Staff and the service are excellent,, Henry barks and wags his tail waiting to go in and feels safe and welcomed - doesn’t want to come home!
Recently had our dog in for just over a week very upset when picking her up as I noticed straight away she had lost alot off weight and that she had lost the ability to bark and howl as she did before never has she been a noisy dog but no sound at all really!!!! We were told there no problems but I would have liked to have been informed if she was distressed enough to bark enough to lose it I would strongly recommend not to use these kennels as they are dishonest and it seems they do not keep the dogs happy also there was a terrible smell of urine.
We have used Barsey Walk Kennels over the past 12 years on rare occasions as we like to have our dogs with us as much as possible. We gained a problem, as two years ago, two of our male dogs decided that they could not stand to be in each other's company and so we have had to keep hem apart. This is manageable but not when deciding to to go on a much needed holiday. We left the elder Patterdale with Jane and Rory for 6 nights, the dog seemed completely unfazzed by being taken and handled at the kennels and we were asked completely about his requirements on food, excercise, comfort etc. The dog greted by a cacaphony of barking on arrival was not upset and when picked up, looked well and well cared for. He even developed a more adult bark for his holiday. This kennels asks all the right questions, medical history, the dog's vet and everything else and our dog seems to have enjoyed his stay. I should have no compunction in recommending this kennel to anyone of my friends. Best wishes David
We were a little concerned about leaving our 7 month old pups somewhere strange but we were on holiday and didn't feel we could drag them all over Lincoln on our day out. We needn't have worried. We could see straight away the kennels were well run and maintained. In fact the web site pictures really didn't do the kennels justice. They couldn't have been nicer. It was funny seeing our pups trop obidiently behind the owner when we came to collect them. They never did that with us! We certainly wouldn't hesitate to use these kennels again if in the area.
Very pleased to take our retriever here. She goes in happy and comes out happy. What more could you want for your precious pet?
This is the most wonderful home from home. My two live coming here. They are so loved and cared for. Also they love walks with the Alpacas who live here. They come back fitter than when they left. Super friendly team.
Took my 11 month old puppy, Rosie to these kennels for the first time last week. Absolutely great. PJ and Tracy are so committed to looking after the dogs in their care, well. Definitely are using these kennels in the future.
Lovely people and kennels. Will certainly use them again. Thank you so much for looking after my dogs
I would highly recommend Thimbleby Kennels, our dog Jerrylee has been coming for his holidays for many years and always comes home a happy dog. They are very clean and and the dogs are very well looked after.
Great with my dogs. Very caring. Lovely people there. Thanks a lot PJ and Tracy for the great service that you always give. Wouldn't take my dogs anywhere else.
No hesitation in recommending Thimbleby Kennels, my fussy dog loves going there for his holiday! Very friendly and genuinely caring and considerate, always appears clean and well maintained
This boarding and training kennels is of a high standard..extra large kennels and runs..the owners are very hands on and take care of your dog as you would. Highly recommend
Highly Recommended, we have been taking our Labs to them for several years and they are happy to go.
Very friendly and cares for dogs really well. The dogs run into the kennels!
Cannot recommend Paw & Co enough, could not have felt better leaving our puppy Bess in Erica's safe hands. You can see what your dog is getting up to on the Facebook page and staying with Erica at a young age has helped Bess come on leaps and bounds! Such a nice holiday for your dog!
I took my little Pup to Paw & Co when my partner and I were staying out for the evening at a wedding, it was the first time I had left her apart from with family so I was quite apprehensive, but Erica put me completely at ease and let me know that my pup was in good hands. She had her own room with her cage in for the night, was played with ALL night and taken on two walks - it's safe to say I had one tided pup that came back to me!! The Facebook updates that Erica posts are so great to see as a way to see what your Pup is up to and put me at complete ease. Also, the cost for a full day and overnight stay is more than reasonable! I will 100% be calling on Erica and Josh again for the next occasion when my Pup needs looking after! Great company ❤️🐶
I can’t praise Erica enough for her care of my ten month old cocker spaniel Ernest, who has just arrived back from a week at Paw & Co whilst I was away on holiday. We had to make arrangements fairly last minute after our original sitter felt Ernest didn’t settle and cancelled his stay... so I was obviously a little bit anxious; however we are so blessed Erica could accommodate Ernest and for his practice sleepover and the full week stay he has been treated as one of the family and has had a wonderful time!! He couldn’t have been in better hands... Erica is extremely knowledgable and professional; she loves every dog she has stay and puts you totally at ease. it made the holiday even better knowing he was being so well looked after. I think he has the post holiday blues now and misses Erica, Josh and his dog buddies!
We've got a nervous rescue dog but Erica has been brilliant with him. She's really taken the time to get to know him, we've got full confidence that Cody is in safe and enjoyable hands whilst we're at work. Fully recommended.
My mini dachshund Gilbert has been going to Erica for just over a year now for regular daycare and some overnight stays when we are away and he absolutely loves it!! He gets so excited when he sees her or gets to her house which I think speaks absolute volumes. I trust her 100% with him and have no problems recommending her to anyone! 😄
Our two Cocker Spaniels have been to day care and also a weekend. Erica is absolutely brilliant and her house is one massive kennel that she and Josh have organised so well
My dogs love their holidays at Paw & Co, it really is home from home for them and the love & care they receive is heart warming, they couldn’t be in safer hands
Absolutely would recommend, and use again.
We've used Paws 4 a While twice now, for a single day and a long weekend with 4 days of visits. Cats Trust Sarah, to the point she was able to pill our Shy Cat twice a day. Great to have someone you can Trust and to be able to go away with out the worry. Will use again and defiantly recommend!
Paws 4 a while provide an excellent service. Sarah will care for your pet as if they were her own. I wish we still lived close to her. We cannot thank Sarah enough for her help in looking after our dog. We wish you every success.
I found Sarah through Google, and I am so pleased I did. From the first meeting I knew Mango loved her! All my concerns were put to rest straight away. Mango had never been walked or looked after by anyone other than a family member. 100% trust in Sarah!
Absolutely a 5star service. Sarah looks after my fur baby as if he were her own. I couldn’t ask for someone more trustworthy and kind to look after my boy.
paws 4 a while is excellent ,my little dog called poppy used to go every weds when they was in mablethorpe ,my dog would jump from the car barking to get to sarah ,we really miss it ,sarah will give your dogs 5 star service.we now have sarah coming to my house 3 times a week to feed ,play ,and take poppy out ,she is very trust worthy ,would not no what i would do without her
My two dogs stayed with Lindsey at Home From Home Pet Sitting for a fortnight. I was worried about leaving them so long but they obviously had an amazing time. What a lovely lady Lindsey is, she sent me photo updates of how my furbabies were - it was lovely to see them playing and having such a great time. When I collected them they were so chilled out. I will certainly use Lindsey again, in fact I wont go anywhere else.
I love the set up Lindsey has for the dogs she has in her care for home boarding. The activities, facilities and care are all excellent. Lindsey looks after all the dogs as if they were her own - what more could you want!
Great experience! Lindsey sends constant updates of the dogs, she is great at communicating, very friendly, and my first choice for dog boarding always xx
They really DO treat your dog like one of the family. You wont find better and that's the honest truth. If you love your pet, give them a holiday here! Win. Win
Amazing place & lovely family for your fur babies So well looked after & kept busy all day with lots of walks & activities 😁 …
Went to see the place before putting my dogs there & it was great
Excellent home from home setting , Dogs are loved and well looked after
Excellent transport and assistance provided by Michael for my first ever dog! He drove from Sheffield to Canterbury, stopping off at two service stations so my dog could exercise and make some mess! The car used was very smart and comfortable.
I have had the most amazing trip to pick my puppy stray up from Zante and drive all the way back to Yorkshire. My driver/courier, Norman was fantastic. The whole process went smoothly, safely and was a trip of a lifetime. They organised every last detail to ensure the dog and myself were comfortable and well looked after. Highly recommend this fantastic company. Expensive but SO well worth it. Thank you.
I travelled with my dog from Sweden to Wales. They were very professional and organised and even remembered our names when we would call. No issues with booking etc. Were given plenty of information and contacted by the driver days before which was reassuring. He arrived in a branded van and clothes which reassured me (I am a young woman) and was very professional throughout. The van was clean and well equipped for transporting my dog and we took regular breaks around every 4 hours. Well worth the money and would definitely use c four paws again. Thanks/Diolch!
We had Milo collect from London on Sunday with two cages and a carry cage and lots of toys. Milo was perfectly happy and items were in good order. Collected on time and delivered on time. Excellent service and driver was very nice. Highly recommended for animal transport. Will definitely use again if the need arises. Good job thank you
Calagran Four Paws and my driver Will were absolutely amazing at handling our cross country transport for a long distance move. Having a rather large Staffy x Old Tyme, who had sadly had to be exempted due to her size, I was even terrified to take her on the road in anything other than proper transport. And with it being such a long way I wanted a safe long distance option also for all round safety and comfort. Our needs were catered for with the upmost care and Will was absolutely amazing with my nervousness and with my lovely girls nervy nature. I couldn't have been happier and I plan to travel with them again. I can highly recommend them.
I highly recommend this company. I just endured an incredibly stressful and long importation process into Europe and finally into the UK with my 3 med/large breed dogs. CFourPaws went above and beyond to help me logistically with things they really didn't have to and was outside of their services. Provided much needed emotional support and were empathetic to my unforeseen financial costs. Really without people like Keith and Greig, I may have crumbled under the stress of it all. BIg animal lovers, BIG hearts and can't fault them. Thanks CFourPaws x
I have been bringing my dogs here for a few years now. They are always happy to come back and I love that the kennels share photos with you of your pets. The drop-off was very useful
Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU. In a medical emergency you were the first kennels we found after literally 100's of phone calls with spare capacity to take Casper while his mum had an emergency operation to remove a brain tumour. The 10x photo's you sent us showing him happy & thoroughly enjoying a run in the secure field were a huge relief to his dad & a massive boost to his mum's immediate recovery.
We recently used C Four Paws to transport our dog Adi from Glasgow to Heathrow for her trip home to Canada. David was a very kind and professional driver and got us to the Kennel at Heathrow on time in spite of some unavoidable traffic delays along the way. We’re back home with Adeline safe and sound and are very grateful for having used the services of your company and David for the first leg of our trip.
An absolute lifesaver when it came to transporting me and my cats from Dublin to Somerset. There was fantastic communication the entire time during the booking process and our driver Clive was incredible! They made what was a very stressful move for me and my cats, a very easy time and I cannot thank Clive and the whole team enough.
I was nervous when looking for someone to look after our 2 dogs and cat for a few days, whilst we were away. One of our dogs has extreme anxiety and struggles to be around other dogs. Rebecca put my mind at rest completely. We did 2 pre meets prior to our getaway and it was clear from the off set that Rebecca is an animal lover. The dogs were at ease and took cuddles almost instantly! Something which is quite rare. Rebecca sent updates throughout the whole of our stay and kept me updated throughout. I would absolutely recommend Rebecca to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy person to care for their animals! Highly recommend 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
