If you are lucky enough to have Sharon apply to sit for you, accept straight away, do not pause, do not hesitate, yes yes yes! Sharon is a super nice person with the very best communication skills, she is extremely easy to work with and from the moment my dog met her it was apparent Sharon is a huge animal person with excellent animal awareness skills. Every day she sent updates about Ramona (my dog) and the house, I was extremely relaxed and comfortable on my vacation knowing everything was taken care of at home. On return Sharon had left the house exactly as she found it with fresh sheets back on the bed and a happy and relaxed dog. Ramona and I really hope that Sharon will come again and sit for us, its truly a delight meeting such a nice, interesting lady. Thank You Sharon
Marie was wonderful. She and Kahlo really bonded and she took excellent care of him. She sent pictures almost daily and gave Kahlo his monthly meds. She kept me apprised of home maintenance being performed and of arriving packages. She left the house and linens clean. I sincerely hope Marie will care for Kahlo again in future, and so does Kahlo!

We are absolutely amazed with Jenn and her dog boarding service. It really is incredible, from start to finish with the gentle onboarding process to make sure everyone is happy to the actual enriched boarding with fabulous dog walks is just so so comforting as an owner. We love the fact that Jenn has a real sense of command and control with our dog and so we know she is in safe hands with training and discipline as well as being cared for and all of her needs are being met. Brilliant!
Louie absolutely loves his walks with Jo. 🐾 Both Jenn and Jo have been absolutely brilliant over the last few months I would highly recommend for anyone looking for a dog walker in the Shifnal area. I can go out and relax knowing that Louie will be well looked after on his lunch time walks with Jo! Communication has been amazing and the flexibility to work around my unpredictable work week is exactly what I needed. Thanks Paws and Moore for making my life a lot easier ✨
I can’t recommend Pawsome Retreat in Shrewsbury highly enough! From the moment I walked in, it was clear this is a place where pets are truly cared for like family. The staff are incredibly warm, knowledgeable, and attentive, making both me and my pet feel completely at ease. The facilities are spotless and well-maintained, with plenty of space for pets to play and relax. I especially appreciated the personalized care they offered—whether it’s dietary needs, special routines, or extra cuddles, they go above and beyond to make sure every pet is comfortable and happy. My dog came home looking visibly happy and relaxed. It’s such a relief knowing there’s a place where I can trust my pet will be treated with so much love and professionalism. Thank you, Pawsome Retreat, for your outstanding service—we’ll definitely be back!
Jenn has taken great care of our dog. During his stays with Jenn, we’ve received regular updates on how he was doing as well as photos. His last visit with Jenn was for 12 days, so the regular contact helped my wife and I feel at ease while we were away from him. Our dog can be anxious sometimes but Jenn knows how to tailor her approach to suit each dogs personality and needs. I would highly recommend Paws and Moore!
Jenny has been walking my spaniel Indie since she was about 6months old and I would highly reccomend. Indie can be a little anxious in new situations and Jenny has taken her time to get to know my dog and her needs and I love the peace of mind knowing Indie enjoys her time exploring with Jenny. I love all the pics and updates I get 🐾 …
Dealing with Jenn and Shaun at Paws and Moore has been amazing. They are both so professional in their approach and service, and also very accommodating. Shaun started visiting our two dogs recently. He does a great job and makes such a fuss over them each time he visits. No hesitation is dealing with their medication and the dogs love him. Would highly recommend Paws and Moore!!
Our boys love having their walks & playtimes with Paws & Moore. Jenn & Emily go above and beyond, super friendly and accommodating. Would highly recommend! 🐶🙂 …
Jenn looked after my dog Blue for 10 days while we were getting married and he had an amazing time! I was completely safe in the knowledge he was being cared for by the lovely Jenn and Dawn, and making new doggy friends. I had daily updates on his adventures, and I would not hesitate to recommend them to others, for a short or long stay. Thanks Jenn!
Jennie has done pop in visits for our cats twice now while we’ve been away on holidays, and both times it has given us such peace of mind knowing that they are in great hands while we are away. She provides us with regular updates and pictures too. Highly recommend! Thank you Jenny! 😊 …
The best dog sitters you could ask for! I visited Shrewsbury for work in the lead up to Christmas and required dog care for around 10 days. Despite my working hours being a little erratic, Jenn accommodated us amazingly and was super flexible with pick up and drop offs. I received daily pup dates and was always informed of drop offs and pick ups which put me totally at ease. I was so thrilled by how friendly and personal the service was and loved how happy My pup was after his visits. I couldn’t recommend Paws and Moore any more highly, I just wish I could relocate them to London for the rest of the year!! Thank you so much for making everything so easy and enjoyable! Absolutely EXCELLENT!
There are not enough stars…our Micro Bully stayed with Ruth, James and family whilst we were away on holiday and I cannot recommend them highly enough. Our dog was quite ‘stand offish’ (not aggressive just withdrawn) with other dogs and humans as we live rurally and she doesn’t have regular interaction with visitors and rarely meets unknown dogs on walks etc. so I really wanted to ensure that the place she stayed understood dog behaviour and made her feel like part of the family. I visited 4 other providers before being instantly reassured as soon as I met Ruth. Ruth wasn’t quick to just book her in, she wanted to make sure she would settle in her home and with her family, given our dog’s socialisation level. Ruth took the time to get to know her and settle her down, giving her space when she needed. During our holiday, Ruth’s communication and updates were so consistent and day by day I could see my shy, slightly neurotic dog coming out of her shell, being treated like a family member, not just by Ruth, but by Ruth’s whole family. The love and care they gave her far exceeded my expectations and watching my dog transform into a confident and playful member of the dog gang was so wonderful. I’ve attached some photos at the bottom. If you’d have told me my dog would be this comfortable in the company of loads of dogs, I wouldn’t have believed you! I was genuinely sad for it to come to and end as I could see just how much she had progressed in that short time. What Ruth and family did for her in 10 days would have taken us months of classes, socialisation days and training. She is transformed, in excellent health and full of confidence. She’s learned how to approach other dogs to play, grown comfortable with a wider circle of humans and as I say, there are not enough stars in the world. I am forever grateful to them for making this stay away so easy on our conscience and hearts. They are fantastic!
Chip has just come home from another amazing stay with Ruth and James. I can't recommend Ruthie's enough, the way Chip is looked after when he stays with Ruth and the family is absolutely brilliant! We get regular updates and the pictures and videos speak for themselves, our baby is clearly happy and comfortable there. Thank you all for looking after Chip, especially with his special medical needs 💙
Highly recommend!!! Ruth and her husband are fantastic and really took care of our dog. He never stayed anywhere else before but he was right at home at Ruthies home boarding. They came to pick him up from our wedding and had him over night, nothing was too much trouble for them. They also offered a trial sleepover a few weeks prior to make sure our dog was happy and got to know each other better before the big day. So so happy we found Ruth, very professional, and friendly! I'm sure our dog would have stay there if he had a choice ! This truly is a home from home boarding service. Thank you so much!
My dogs had an amazing experience at Ruthies home boarding, daycare & grooming , they were very well looked after as if they are their own and spoiled with lots of treats !! Ruth and James are amazing they give you regular updates of your dog thoughout the day !! The dogs were that happy and content they didn’t want to come home . I recommend Ruthies for doggy day care or home boarding as its an enjoyeable environment for the dogs and amazing for socialistion
We can't thank Ruth and her family enough for the wonderful home from home experience they have provided for our little princess, she really is part of their family whilst in their care which is exactly what we were looking for in a home boarding environment. As she is aging she has a few health issues and these were kept in check with her daily medication given which is a great comfort. She came home after two weeks looking happy and healthy and beautifully groomed and clean which I know won't have been an easy task. It is such a worry in trusting someone to love and care for your pet as you do but Ruth and family deliver this 100%. Thank you so much Ruth and family.
My puppy first went to Ruth for the odd session then for a full week . He was still getting up in the night and Ruth treated him as if he was her own .. the next time he visited he settled straight away and loved it.
My dogs go to Ruth each week for daycare. They've also stayed overnight and will soon be staying for 2 weeks. I trust her 100% as I know she cares for them like her own. She genuinely loves all of the dogs that go to her and they're treated to a home from home experience. I can't recommend her highly enough to anyone looking for doggy care!
Ruth is so lovely with our two dogs. They have stayed overnight twice and they are already booked in for another two stays. They have an absolutely great time meeting and playing with the other dogs and Ruth sends pictures and updates during their stay. Thanks Ruth
Ruth has looked after Willow our Golden Retriever on several occasions, and Willow never wants to leave- she just has the best time. I would 100% recommend Ruthies!
Cooper loves his time staying and playing at Ruth's.
Amy from All Paws, called in last weekend to give our family dogs, a cuddle and to play ball with them, while we were away for the afternoon. Both dogs are very special to us and finding someone who we felt able to trust and look after them is very important to us. After meeting Amy and her meeting the dogs, we felt they would be in good hands with her. I would highly recommend All Paws, I was able go away for the afternoon and not worry about our 2 special family members.
Had a lovely day out knowing that our German shepherd had someone to let her out and play with her, have more days out planned . Thank you so much .
Absolutely amazing value for money my doberman loves it there and spends most of his time in the water would definitely recommend
My dog started wags & Wiskers last year at a young age he was nervous at his first visit but with help from the girls he soon became confident very quickly he loves his Fridays would highly reccomend . And I just love the updates on instagram during the day 💫 …
Beanie has been coming to Wags & Whiskers for 4 and 1/2 years now, he goes twice a week and absolutely loves it. All the staff are amazing and they show so much love towards all the dogs. He comes back exhausted both days from all the fun he has & we couldn’t be more grateful to Steph & all the team at Wags for providing Beanie such a fab place to play. Beth x
My mad spaniel, Paddy, has been going to Wags for over three years now and he loves it! Steph and her staff clearly adore dogs, and they make sure that their charges are exercised, stimulated and rested as appropriate. I love that I can see on Instagram what my boy is up to when he’s there!
I can honestly say wags and whiskers is so good .Our little Finn has been going for nearly 12 months now and loves his days .steph and all the girls are fantastic ,the facilities are so good with plenty of outside space and play areas . It is also great value for money . We had a bad experience with first daycare place we choose for Finn so moved him to wags so glad we did . Also Steph is a great groomer so Finn can also have a groom . If you are looking for daycare wags is the place . Annette
Bob has been with Wags for a few years now and it's fantastic. I can tell from the social media updates he is having a ball and he loves the staff. I know I can drop him off and trust he'll have a great time with his doggy pals and be looked after my the team.
My dog absolutely loves it there, she goes twice a week. I can always tell she’s had a great day as she falls asleep as soon as I put her in the car. Great value for money & the staff are lovely xx
My dog has been going since he was a pup and adores it! He goes twice a week and they’re his favourite days, always comes home shattered. Can’t praise the team enough. Amazing place 🤩 …
Even if I wasn't working, I would still send my dog here, she absolutely loves it, and I get peace of mind knowing that she is happy and safe for the day. Would highly recommend this place to any dog owners....its brilliant 👏 …
What a fantastic experience for our 3 dogs, they absolutely loved it. Loads for them to do, didn't stopped running around for the whole hour. All was very quite on the way home. Easy access to all gates. Even though there were sheep and horses in the next fields the dogs wernt interested at all. Felt very secure in all areas. Definitely recommend and will book again. Great place for a dog party. 🐕
Alice and the team have been walking Marley since he was a pup over 4+ years now. They provide an excellent service and Marley always looks forward to his doggy walks.
Alice has made a real go at creating and growing her business. She is a very capable young lady. She has a lovely way with all animals and our Charlie adores her. We have used many of her services, and we have always been more than happy to recommend her to friends. We will often call on Alice for help and advice too, nothing is too much trouble for her. Alice has also started to provide hampers for those special occasions and after the lovey Christmas hamper Charlie can't wait for Easter!
Ali looked after our felines for the summer. No job was too small for her and she took her time to come and get to know the cats before we went away. I felt calm, happy and settled and rightly so, as when we returned the cats were happy and healthy and I had regular updates about how they were and photos to confirm all was well. A really efficient, happy and helpful person. Will be using AJs services again. Thank you so much Ali for all that you did.
Alice has been amazing with my dog who is a rescue. She’s really coming out of her shell. She doesn’t trust strangers but seemed to really warm to Alice quite quickly. Confidence building walks have been amazing for my dog and she’s really thriving from all the work Alice has done with her. Thanks so much.
Alice looked after our beloved cat, Boba whilst we were away. First time having Alice care for Boba. Alice was so caring and professional, ensuring she did a meet & greet before us going away, and noting all information for boba including vets etc. This gave us reassurance she would give the upmost care to Boba. During our trip, she was in regular contact, updates and pictures, Boba took such a like to Alice. Highly recommend and already booked Alice for our next trip
Alice is great with my dog Oscar, he really enjoys his trips out . Alice also takes similar types of dogs out together on each walk, so there is a great walk for everyone ! Very professional, personable and Oscar really happy with her
I have two very precious sausage dogs and Alice understands just how precious they are to me. She knows I prefer them to be socialised with smaller dogs for their backs. She understands their raw feed diet. She's very knowledge about all different dog breeds but she's not pushy with it. She adapts to your routine and whatever is best for your dog she will do. She goes above and beyond for my boys and they love her so much. I wouldn't want anyone else to look after my boys. They love alice and she loves them just as much. Thanks for being you!!!! So reliable, so professional and great service.
Alice has been walking our rescue boy and introducing him teaching him to be sociable with other dogs Freddie adores her and respond very well to her capable handling 10/10 . Her ready smile cheers me up too in these difficult days
Thank you for looking after my grumpy Sphynx Cat. Abbie kept me up to date which reassured me he was fine whilst we were away. I would definately recommend this service
Fabulous peace of mind that our pets are checked on during the day , and our furries clearly love having AJ services during the day .
First time using a cattery and was very anxious leaving him , the staff were fantastic and communicated with me through out his stay , very well looked after and very well fed , very kind staff and very caring towards my cat will definitely recommend and use again 😀 …
Gorgeous kennels. Very friendly professional team. Our boy Spencer loves all his time there. Our cats stay too - they’re really well looked after and happy. I wouldn’t go anywhere else … 🤩 …
Up until now we have had no issues with Lower Mill, having been a customer of theirs for the last 3-4years. But this week we have tried to make contact with them to book our cat in for a 3 night stay at the end of the month (I’m aware last minute) due to something that has cropped up. I messaged them on Monday detailing the dates and as usual receive an automated reply back asking to be patient for a reply back but if urgent please call up. As not to bother them, I then waited patiently for them to get back to me. Tuesday came and went, and then midday Wednesday I asked my partner to message in case they were that busy they had missed my message. This morning my partner received a message back (still yet to reply back to my message) stating they have seen I have messaged but that they have previously stated that a quicker response is to call them up. Which ironically myself and my partner did do yesterday morning but as always are met by an answering machine. Having seen the message my partner received I don’t like the tone of the message and clearly they are that busy they don’t need my money and therefore will look to take it elsewhere. I am happy to have a conversation about this over the phone, as you will have my contact number on record. I look forward to hearing from you!
Sprout seemed to really enjoy his stay at Lower Mill Cattery. He was well looked after and seemed at home when we picked him up. He received a lot of care and attention while he was there, and the staff seemed to have bonded with him very well. I would recommend Lower Mill to anybody looking for somewhere for their cats/dogs to stay, and would 100% use them again.
An amazing group of well trained people at lower mill boarding kennels. I have used these kennels and cattery for over 25 years and won't put my pets anywhere else. Well done Johnathan and team.
Great Kennels with caring and friendly staff. This was the 1st time our dog had stayed away from home overnight and he was relaxed and happy from the moment we arrived as well as when we collected him.
Our Labrador spent two weeks there and he was very well looked after by lovely, friendly staff. Treated like a family pet and was a happy, happy doggie. Highly recommended and would definitely go back. Five stars for sure.
Both of my small breed dogs have been to Lower Mill for their holidays. The staff really care about the welfare of their canine visitors. The dogs have lots of stimulation and are walked several times during the day. The kennels are also super-clean. I heard of Lower Mill through a personal recommendation and I now always recommend Lower Mill to anyone else looking for overnight care for their dogs. My little girls (dogs) were invited to have a day visit before they stayed overnight which was a great idea as it meant I knew they would be happy and familiar with their surroundings and staff during their 'holiday' :D Lovely setting and excellent staff. I wouldn't want my dogs to go elsewhere. Most importantly, my little ones always seem to enjoy going there and they love the staff.
We always board our cat's here, never had an issue of any kind, lovely staff, nice accommodation
This place is amazing - the staff are caring and knowledgeable and run a good tight ship in terms of inoculation rules which fills us with reassurance that our dogs will be healthy and safe. Love the one day trial visit too - meant they and we got to see if Lower Mills was the right place and boy is it :)
Amazing!!! My doggy had a great time and the owner was absolutely wonderful 😊 …
Brilliant service, every stay is above and beyond. I have a sensitive and powerful lurcher but she is always looked after fantastically and comes home happy and exhausted. Updates and pictures are sent to reassure me, I do not think now of going anywhere else (main stream kennels made dog very unhappy and resulted in big vets fees after being overpulled).
The most perfect location, Deanne is amazing with our 2 dogs who have the best time on their holidays @Barkingham Palace.
I can truly say the dogs love going!
