Laura was EXCELLENT! Very caring, kind, conscience, and professional! She was great with communicating with us, and during the sit she checked in daily, or as needed, with just the right amount of contact. Our home, and doggies, were in as good (if not better) condition as we left it... and we even had a few wonderful little gifts upon our return. We give Laura an 11 out of 10 stars!! :-D
Perfect pets, people & place in the Hampshire countryside. Recommended.
This was our first experience of trusted house sitters and it could not have been a better experience. From the welcome when we arrived to the last minute when we left we loved our experience spending lots of time and walks with Monty and bear and relaxing in the beautiful home overlooking the fields and woodlands. Monty and bear are both adorable dogs so well behaved and we loved walks with them through the fields and woodland directly out the back gate of the cottage. I would highly recommend house sitting at Holly cottage and hopefully we will return in the not too distant future.
Sri, I appreciate you, you made it so nice for me and your thoughtfulness in showing me the house, and details about Ravioli will not be forgotten. As for Ravioli herself 10/10, she’s a very sweet and affectionate dog, I miss her already. What made it easy for me is that she communicates what she wants such for walks. And whenever I’d sit down to meditate in the house, she’d always keep me company. Thanks for having me, and you both stay lovely.
We had a lovely few weeks in Portugal looking after N2/‘Mushtie’. He is a very characterful and affectionate cat and we were sorry to say goodbye to him at the end of our sit. He’s very easy to care for - as long as you’re happy to have some cuddles in the evening on the sofa! This was the first time Wendy and Paul had used this website for a sitter but they were perfect hosts and made us very welcome the night we arrived. They left us clear but detailed instructions on how to care for their home, cat and garden as well as some great recommendations for restaurants and places to visit locally. The villa is comfortable and spacious and in a great location for anyone looking to explore the south of Portugal, with beautiful views across the Algarve from the porch. Its far away enough from the coast to avoid the tourist hotspots but still within a reasonable distance of the coast for day trips to all of the beaches, mountains and marinas. The kitchen is well stocked with a large range of appliances and the pool area is an idyllic private space to chill out in. The pictures really don’t do it justice. We had a wonderful time and would love to come back to sit again one day if the opportunity arises!
What a wonderful sit at Christine & Richards beautiful, spotless, comfortable home. Our guest room with ensuite was beautifully decorated with some fabulous photos taken on their previous Safari holiday's and perfect for the knees being on the ground floor. What a beautiful town with stunning coastal walks, we were blessed with pretty much dry weather for our sit so took the opportunity to do plenty of walking. Excellent communication prior to, during and after the sit and a lovely bonus to arrive the day before and spend an enjoyable evening with both. Now to the important part the moggies. Big boy Eric is Mr Casual, off on his travels in the day but checking in for a good few hours nap on your knee and head scratches in an evening, followed by a nap on any available cushion or throw for the night. Bunny, well, what a treasure of an old girl, we became instant buddies, her favourite place to sleep during the day was on my pillow, her favourite place at night, on my head or resting her cheek on mine. Whilst we were sitting for her she had a little wobble in health but she was such a gentle girl to treat and look after it was no trouble at all, it was our pleasure to care for her. We truly are attached to Eric & Bunny and would sit again for our friends Christine & Richard x
Otis is such a sweet boy! We miss him tons! Hattie & Andrew were absolutely amazing. They were so kind and welcoming when we met them in advance of the sit. They invited us to their beautiful home and made sure we were well informed & prepared for their special kitty, Otis. He is the sweetest kitty and such a talker! You’ll become fast friends and will make sure to meow you a greeting upon your arrival:) *he loooves time in the backyard in his kitty harness! You must take him because he loves all the grass and sniffing the cool air. So cute ❤️ *he is a food driven boy :) thankfully Andrew & Hattie had us all setup with a timed auto-feeder just in case we needed it. Don’t forget to give him some snacks :) *Lots of pets! Our favorite was holding him in our arms and stroking him while he purred. He is so loving. Also, when he sleeps on your lap 😊 He is a wonderful kitty and we were so blessed to be able to sit for him. Thank you Andrew & Hattie for the opportunity to sit for Otis in your beautiful home. We would love to return to see him and of course see you both!

My dog loves the place. She sprints to the front door as soon as she gets out of the car. Very friendly staff that takes good care of our hound. The added bonus is she sleeps for a full next day because she is so tired from playing. In addition, the dog taxi service if I get stuck at work and overnight dog care from Mike Murphy has been an added convenience that makes going away much more relaxing knowing our dog is in good hands
Great people. Nice place. Great price. The only problem is that my dog ended up with abrasions on her paw. I had her veterinary check her paws, and they said it is from running on a hard surface like cement or concrete. Like I said, they are great.
Highly recommend!! Our lunatic Luna LOVES going to see her buddies at Paw Play, both the dogs & the humans! :). She's been going multiple times a week for over 2 years now
These guys do a great job! Each morning the staff is super happy and energetic when we bring our French Mastiff Gordon in each morning. Very fair prices all the way down the line and they provide lots of services...like grooming and even a doggie taxi. Good job A+!
Paw play is amazing! Our boy Gus has gone 3 times and everyone is always so wonderful! He is loving his spa days! Thank you for treating him so good! 10/10 ⭐️ We recommend for sure!
I have been sending my dogs to Paw Play for many years. Jenn has always been amazing with her support and assistance. Mike can always be counted on with a moment’s notice. My dog loves Devin and Jena and Michelle so much as well as all the staff that I never have any worries when I bring her there. Most days when I pick her up she wants to stay because she is having so much fun! I would (and have) recommend them to anyone!! Such a great place!!
River and Griff have been going to Paw Play weekly for a number of years! The owners and staff members are extremely friendly and caring. River and Griff have learned a lot of social skills and get along better with other dogs because of this experience. Our dogs are always excited to go and tired when we pick them up! Just the way we like it! We also appreciate all of the photos they post! It's exciting to see what our pups are doing while away from home.
We have been going to Paw Play for years.. First started with grooming, which Melissa always does a great job,her and her staff are great with the dogs... we also have used the Mike to come and let our dogs out during day as well as taxi service to day care and to stay with our dogs while on Vacations.. our dogs love him and so do we!! What can I say about the day care.. our dogs love to go!! Jenn and all her her staff are awesome!! The “kids”, as referred to,have a great time and come home tired... We would be lost without them, Great Place.
Our 3 fur-kids LOVE Paw Play !!! We have been using their services for almost years . Daycare, pet taxi, pet sitting, and groomers ....we use all of these services and couldn't imagine trusting anyone else. Mike Murphy and Sara Oaks have both provided at home pet sitting and knowing they are with our babies allows us to have a stress free vacation, whether it is for just a weekend or 10 days they definitely keep our doggies happy !! Pet Taxi is perfect if they are at daycare and you are working late or going away for the day . You can feel at ease knowing your fur baby will be brought home safe and sound . Spa day !!!! Sara and Melissa always make sure the kids not only smell fantastic but that they also feel safe and enjoy bath time !!!! All the staff at Paw Play really care about all the dogs in their care . We HIGHLY recommend them !!!!!
I do not know what I would do without Paw Play! Over close to 15 years, I’ve never been disappointed! And, now that they provide training classes, taxi, pet sitting, and home visiting services in addition to daycare and grooming, it’s everything I need. The entire staff is 100% focused on what’s best for my dog. Jen, Mike, Jena, and John have all pet sitted for me. Their flexibility and willingness to help are priceless. It gives me great peace of mind knowing he’s in such good hands. I can’t say enough good things about Paw Play! If my dog could write a review, he would probably say he prefers Paw Play to home!
I have known Lindsay for several years. We have attended several events together and I even adopted a greyhound that she was fostering. Lindsay has a wealth of knowledge of a variety of dog breeds as well as many other types of animals and she is someone I am very comfortable going to for advice. From helping me utilize positive reinforcement to encourage good behavior to helping me learn how to hull a corn, Lindsay is an amazing resource! I fully trust her with any animal that I have whether it be for a short walk or a vacation, I highly recommend Lindsay’s Pet Care!
I've known Lindsay for many years and am thrilled to have her taking care of my Greyhound Lexington. Lindsay is behavior as well as all breed knowledgeable She is trustworthy and has a work ethic to be admired. When Lexington is in her care I have peace of mind knowing that he is safe in her hands and that no matter what circumstance may arise, Lindsay will handle it as the professional that she is. I highly recommend Lindsay's Pet Care.
This is the best daycare around! I traveled for three days and the owner provided more than enough updates with how my dog was doing. They treated my dog like their own and took such good care of him. My dog is usually nervous around dogs but did absolutely amazing with the other dogs here. The facility was very clean and extremely spacious for the dogs to play in. I would 100% recommend lather and laughs to anyone looking for grooming and daycare!
My dog Orbit has gone here for playtime for an entire day, half a day, for a bath and grooming, and he has stayed with Miss Hope for a week when we went on vacation. He loves to go here! He is a high energy dog that loves playing with his friends. They have a wonderful staff and take great care of the animals. Thank you so much Miss Hope and staff. ❤️😍
First time grooming visit for our new family member Zoey. We were very pleased with their thoughtfulness and attention to detail. Zoey looked adorable with her little purple scarf!
If you love your dog, do NOT bring them here. We used to bring our dog here until he was repeatedly coming home with paw injuries, once from being put outside onto hot pavement to play. We also have a friend that used to bring their dog here, until he got attacked multiple times by the same dog that he was supposed to be separated from. He needed vet care and the owner refused to pay for it. I have also heard from a past employee of this place (they are a coworker of mine) that the owner Hope is awful to her employees and does not care about the well being of the dogs- so she will not separate dogs if there is an issue and cleanliness is subpar at best there. Disgusting place
Awesome place! The dogs love the play time with other dogs and the grooming is great too. Not to mention everyone that works there is awesome too!
Sooo my Lemmy had to go to groomer. His matting was getting too much for me. I didn't really know what to expect and was definitely nervous. I am very happy with the outcome... Lather and Laughs was extremely profesional and took very good care of my Lemmy. Lemmy looks like a little lion now and I love it... It makes it so much better during the Summer without his fur coat and also the matting is now no longer. So happy.. And he's happy too! I am shocked Lemmy even was able to do a grooming .. These guys (girl..Hope) did a great job!!
I take both my cats to Lather & Laughs— the groomers are amazing! My cat Moxy is very timid and does not like grooming, but the groomers always handle her correctly and with care! Take your long haired cats here for all grooming needs— trust me! They will not disappoint! Thank you Lather & Laughs!
Sweet Pea has been coming to Lather & Laughs for well over a year. She comes to be groomed as well as play. I can't sing their praises enough. Sweet Pea is a rescue and with that comes some quirky issues. For instance, she doesn't like loud noises. So, when they so her nails they can't use the Dremmel (also they have to get on the floor because she fears the table) so they clip do all by hand. She is afraid of cars passing by when walking, so they devised a route so she will feel safe. I could not imagine going anywhere else.
I originally was not going to post a review because my dog loved coming here, and the staff was very friendly; however, what I thought was just a bad haircut turned out to be a trip to the emergency vet. About three weeks ago, I brought my golden doodle in for grooming. This was his third time coming here, and I requested they cut him a little shorter. Turns out, they completely shaved him. I was very upset, but I didn’t make a scene since it’s hair and it will grow back. Later that day, I noticed there was a cut on his leg where they must’ve nicked him. It wasn’t bad, but it was annoying to see nonetheless. Fast forward three weeks, and I am writing this review from the waiting room at the emergency vet. His ear was bleeding, so we brought him in. Turns out, for the past several months we were getting him groomed here, they were not cleaning out his ears—even though I requested them to every time—so a large clump of hair and yeast developed in his ear canals. The vet said it was the largest clump of hair he’s ever pulled out of a dog’s ear, and he even gave us a sample to show the groomer. Overall, I’m very disappointed with the services received and felt compelled to share my experience so other local doodle owners can get their dogs groomed here at their own risk.
Today was my first visit. I’m very particular about how my dog is groomed. They have not yet learned my preferences. They didn’t get it quite right and I expressed my concerns. I got a call from the owner and she was awesome. They’ve agreed to redo the cut. She went out of her way to assure I was happy. That is everything to me!
Mark is highly reliable, responsible and caring,. I am satisfied with dog service that he offers. My dog loves going there.
Mark is amazing with the animals he cares for. My dog is very attached to me and has severe separation anxiety, but she loves being at Mark's so much, she doesn't even give me a second glance when I'm leaving. She loves going on walks with Mark and the other dogs. She is very well taken care of (and maybe a little spoiled) by Mark. I wouldn't take my dog to anyone else, and I highly recommend him and his service.
We have been bringing my dog here for several years and we love the care he gets from Mark. He goes above and beyond and sometimes I think my dog likes Mark better than us! LOL thank you Mark! you have always been great and we will continue to use your services and recommend you to others.
Mark is the best with our Molly We wouldn't trust anyone else with her. She is our daughter and she feels so comfortable over there since the first time she met Mark.. She has a lot of fun there. Well taken care of with him. I love how he sends me pictures and videos. Thank you so much Mark!!
The best, would highly reccomend him.
Veteran owned, easy to get to from anywhere.
Thanks
Awesome
