Lisa and Rob were perfect pet/house sitters! We feel so grateful to have found them. They took such loving care of our golden and treated our house like it was their own. They were very communicative and sent us great updates and pictures of our boy. They left our house very clean and our boy was sad to see these two lovely humans go. We 100% recommend them and hope they will be available for our next trip.
Our experience with Nizhoni was extremely positive! She took excellent care of Jerry and based on the pictures we received he thoroughly enjoyed himself. He was clearly taken with Nizhoni’s warmth and kindness. Our house was spotless when we returned and all of the laundry cleaned and folded. We would definitely recommend her to others. Thank you, Nizhoni!

Debbie really takes care of our dog just like she is her own pet. We have a high energy working cocker who gets plenty of walks at daycare but just as important, she is allowed time to be calm and rest which she usually struggles with at other peoples houses. On the rare occasion I am home during collection, our dog is more than happy to leave so we are reassured she has a fantastic time with Debbie and the other dogs. Debbie is extremely accommodating and reliable when I need extra dates, which is so helpful when my work away is irregular.
We call Debbie our dog auntie - she has been looking after our dog Mabel since she was a puppy and I know Mabel’s in the safest hands with Debbie. Debbie loves and cares for her like she’s her own and Mabel adores spending time with Debbie and her dogs, whether it’s just for the day, overnight or a longer stay. Highly recommend!
Debbie keeps the welfare and happiness of your pets at the forefront of her service. I have two challenging beagles, and they love their walks with her each day. They come back home, settle and sleep til I get back in from work. A real lifesaver!! Thank you Debbie, Roxy and Remi love you!
Debbie & Dave regularly look after my cat and are fantastic with him! I get updates and pictures so I know he's okay when I'm away. Cat loves them and is such a relief to know he is happy and cared for! Highly recommend.
Debbie and Dave looked after our two lovely house bunnies whilst we were away for two weeks. We were very nervous about leaving them for so long but Debbie and Dave soon showed us that we had no need to worry through their regular photo and message updates that they sent us whilst we were away. The house was very clean on our return and the buns had clearly been well looked after. Lots of fresh veg, cuddles and attention given by both Debbie and Dave to both buns. They really cared for the buns as though they were their own so we could not recommend them enough.
So pleased to find Debbie and Dave to look after our cats when we were on holiday. They did a superb job with keeping the cats calm and happy, as well as taking care of the house. Blinds pulled at night, and flowers watered! Will definitely ask them again next time we are away, and would recommend them to anyone in the area.
Debbie, Dave and family are absolutely lovely, they loved our cats and kept the company while we were away. Kept me updated on how they were and my three cats seemed far more relaxed when we got home than they have done before. Definitely recommend and really good value for money. Thank you D&D xx
Debbie was professional and kind and reassuring to leave my 2 bunnies with for a week away. They were well cared and looked after and clean and happy on my return. I had absolute confidence while away and I would not hesitate to use this pet sitting service again. 🐰🐇🐾 …
Debbie and Dave took amazing care of my kitten and gave me regular updates whilst I was away. Can’t recommend them enough! Thank you.
Friendly and trustworthy people who clearly care about cats. Gives us peace of mind that our cats are well looked after when we're away.
Had kitty cuddles look after our fur babies .. .they were well cared for and very happy fursones when we got back . We cant recomend them highly enough
Debbie and Dave are brilliant and my cats love them to bits 😻
They were unable to help me with my request but did offer suggestions of who might be able to which was very helpful.
Absolutely fantastic. A few months ago, Perdi very kindly took care of my two cats for a few days when another cattery cancelled my booking without reason at short notice. I should have posted sooner - highly recommend.
We recently used Precious Paws for our cat and were really satisfied with the experience. Perdi is a true professional who adores cats. She gave us confidence that our cat would be well cared for. Upon picking our cat up, we could see that he was calm and happy, not at all stressed like he had been in the past in other catteries. The cabin was clean, spacious, with an outdoor secure space, and designed to make cats feel safe, comfortable and entertained. It even provided our cat a chance to make friends with one of the owner's cats, who is so sweet! Overall, we highly recommend Precious Paws to any cat owner looking for a reliable and caring place for their pet. The combination of professionalism and a stress-free atmosphere made all the difference for both us and our cat. Thank you, Perdi, for providing such exceptional care!
Wonderful cat boarding experience for our two very pampered house cats. They stayed for a week in one of the lovely cat lodges and had a great time enjoying the Precious Paws facilities! Very organised and caring host who clearly adores animals so we knew our boys were in safe hands. Highly recommend.
So happy with the service at Precious Paws. Perdi is so caring and felt 100% confident leaving our Oriental boy with her. He has some health issues and Perdi is very experienced and knowledgeable with caring for his needs.We had regular updates and he settled so well. He had loads of cuddles and play. Very pleased to see how well and contented he was when we collected him.
Stunning service, trouble free and happy cats. Perdi looked after my cats for a week with morning and evening home visits, came back with stress free cats. I had regular pics and updates whilst I was away. Perdi is very experienced and has a lot of time and love for animals. Thank you! 😊 …
I highly recommend Perdi! She came once a day to our house to look after two of our cats and a house rabbit, and she also kept our more troublesome cat in her cat pen for 10 days. She sent daily updates and photos (at our request) and we were able to enjoy our holiday knowing that our pets were all being well looked after. She was very professional, with paperwork and a first meet beforehand. Thanks so much for everything!
Perdi did an outstanding job looking after our two cats. She clearly likes cats and followed all our complicated instructions perfectly. She also stayed in touch very well so we felt reassured that everything was fine at home while we were away. We would recommend Perdi's excellent service and intend to ask her to look after our cats again. It's hard to imagine how anyone could do a better job of looking after your much loved pets.
Excellent service for my old boy , he always seems calm and happy after perdis home visits . Reliable and trustworthy, would definitely recommend 🐈⬛ …
Perdi visited our rescue cats once a day for 10 days during our recent holiday. It was such a relief to know they were receiving such kind, reliable care. We were delighted with the professionalism of Perdi's approach, she is very thorough and very practical! A very safe, reliable pet sitting service which we will be booking again and recommending to our friends! Perdi also kept my many plants alive and well and collected the post. We returned to a calm and happy home. Thank you Perdi.
We have trusted Perdi with our two cats many times now. She is a very friendly person, always willing to make it work for you and always available at late notice! Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a real pet lover to put their mind at ease whilst they are away.
A real home from home for pets. Gilly looked after our "needy" poodle cross while we had a holiday. She shared regular videos of his walks with her own dogs and we could see that he was having a lovely time which added to our own holiday enjoyment. She clearly loves animals and gives them the space to adjust to being with her. Highly recommended 🤗
We are so glad to have found Gilly. She has a great connection with all animals and genuinely cares about their wellbeing. She took great care of our cat and two rabbits while we were away for two weeks. She sent us regular videos of our pets looking as happy and relaxed as they do when we are home. It was so lovely to be able to relax on holiday knowing our pets were happy too.
Completely reliable and trustworthy! It is very obvious that Gilly adores dogs and they in return adore her. She is a real find, as unlike many other dog sitting and dog walking services she has her own secure field. So if you have free-roaming beasties like I do, then they can have off lead exercise and you know they will come home happy and tired. I can thoroughly recommend her.
Having an elderly frail cat it seemed better to keep her in her own environment and have someone come to feed her. Gilly checked in and fed her daily sending us mini videos of her visit, can recommend. Do check her other services
Gilly took great care of my little cat, and sent regular video updates while I was away. He clearly enjoyed her visits and was looking very well when we got back
Bec is the best! Completely trusted her to look after our slightly nervous pooch every week. I'm just so sad that we have to find another dog walker as we've moved out of the area. Heartily recommend.
Hobson adores Bec and comes home bouncing like a puppy from his walks, despite his elderly status, Highly recommend Lead the Way and after almost a decade so would our hound :)
I was recommended to Lead the Way and thank God I was. Barney loves Rebecca, and being part of the Lead the Way K9 club. He waits at the window for her arrival and goes crazy to get to the door, and out for another adventure. She’s been walking Barney for 7years, and he sometimes has a staycation, alongside her two adorable dogs. As for me I feel happy and confident he’s in the best of hands. I couldn’t recommend her highly enough.
Bec has walked our spaniel for years and he has absolutely loved all of his walks with her. You could not ask for a more reliable or trustworthy dog walker. She regularly sends photos or uploads videos and you can see how much all of the dogs love her. The walks are varied and great for tiring out our energetic spaniel. We would highly recommend Bec!
Lead The Way are brilliant. Bec has been wonderful with my mums retriever now that she is unable to walk her herself. Goes the extra mile and is an amazing young lady. First class service.
Bex and Abi have over the last 4 years walked our three rescue dogs with tireless devotion despite our furbabies "complexities". Further, they have been incredibly flexible, thoughtful and kind to the doggos. Even had pictures from the walks which made my day every time! Best of all is they took our very nervous youngest dog who really struggled with any other humans and supported her to be calmer and confident. Incredibly grateful to them both.
The most reliable dog walker! Bec has walked our two dogs for over 5 years, they are always so happy to see her and nicely tired when they get home! We completely trust Bec and she has helped us out last minute on a number of occasions. We would HIGHLY recommend this dog walking service!
Abi and Rebecca have been absolutely amazing with my dog as I needed dog day care with little notice. They are really lovely and friendly and clearly very knowledgeable and professional. Great communication, have sent me lovely photos and videos which has been very reassuring for me. Highly recommend!
Bec has walked our dogs for a long time and we have always had a very positive experience! The dogs love her too. We get regular photos when they are out walking and always feel very comfortable when Bec has our dogs.
So glad I found Lead the Way. We needed doggy day care at short notice and they were super accommodating, very reassuring (it was the first time we had put our dog in care) and took on our boisterous (large) bundle of fluff without any qualms. Abi was helpful and calm...just what I needed! And the photo updates were great. Thank you Abi.
My dogs love their time with Teddys Happy Hounds. They love their time at the paddock playing with their friends and the home boarding option is a must for me as I always have the reassurance they are being looked after and loved when I’m away. A reliable and reasonably priced service - Highly recommended ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Kai has been here twice this year & loved it. He is a very pampered GSD & if he looks happy, we are happy. Thank you Laura & Holly. We hope to see you soon.
Our dog always happy going in and comes out seeming in good spirits (not just happy to see us). Staff are very friendly and accommodating. Setting is brilliant for dog walks. The rates are very reasonable too. Would recommend to a friend!
Friendly,professional and our Zues was looked after really well ,very pleased thank you so much.
We have used Skaiteshill since 2004 when we got our first dog. They provide an excellent service and go above and beyond in caring for the pets. I recommend them without any hesitation. Our pointer pup starts singing and wagging her tail as soon as we turn down the drive!! 😂 …
Took my dog here last week and he seemed to enjoy and came back happy and healthy. Beautiful location, Staff are friendly and emails were answered promptly, will definitely use them again
Our dog has been going here for years, I wouldn't take him anywhere else. The people there love dogs, he gets such good care that when he sees we are taking him there, he pulls on his lead and doesn't look back! Lovely surroundings in the countryside.
Brilliant, friendly staff. Our dogs first visit to kennels and she was very relaxed when we collected her. Thank you for making her first experience trouble free.
It's the second time this year that both our dogs have stayed with Skaiteshill Kennels. The 8 year old Jack Russel and puppy Jack Russell cross Chihuahua were both bright eyed and waggling tails when collected. They're already booking next holiday! Highly recommend! :)
For Lunar 🐕 a home from home 🏡 we were happy to know she was being well looked after. …
My dog Otto can't wait to get there. Lovely, caring staff. Highly recommend xx
Would highly recommend! My spaniel adores staying with Amy, he gets two fantastic countryside walks every time he stays and he even gets a swim! With pictures and updates I’ve always felt assured leaving him with Amy, I will definitely be using her again in the future.
You are lucky to have even heard of Amy, First she is gentle and soft, secondly the dogs she cares for have fantastic walks for three to four miles each time and, weather permitting, they go swimming in a stream. During the day, when they are not out, she has them in her sittingroom on beds with cushions or on a big sofa; at night they are in her bedroom. She checks over all her dogs every day and is the best tick finder in Gloucestershire. I would not go away even for a day if I did not have her to look after our dogs. They think that they are on doggy holiday when they stay with her. I would sooner give up my dishwasher than lose Amy. Adrienne THIS IS ABSOLUTELY UNSOLICITED
Amy is a very trustworthy dog walker, always on time and responsive to messages...and happy to send 'pupdates' to us needy dog owners! Wouldn't hesitate to recommend :-)
Stroud & Tetbury We Love Pets are excellent, I use them regularly. My cats are well cared for and they are always happy and healthy when I get home. I am very happy to leave my very much loved cats in their care. I would highly recommend Sophie and Sue.
I have an elderly cat who is scared of being in catteries so decided to try Sophie a few years back. She is amazing, very kind and thorough and most importantly my grumpy old cat is happy. Her medical knowledge is a bonus. I can go away and feel relaxed in the knowledge he is in safe hands.
My wife and I are happy to leave our animals in Sophie's care and can go away relaxed in the knowledge that they are in safe hands. We even receive updates from our pets whilst we are away. A home from home service, highly recommended.
I have used We Love Pets (Stroud & Tetbury) for a long time. Our dog is really well cared for in a family environment which means when we leave her, we can relax knowing she is in great hands. I would highly recommend Sophie and her team.
Sophie always takes very good care of my horses. They love her looking after them. She is very kind and gentle with them. I can go away and know I have left them in safe hands.
Sophie is always reliable and very helpful. You know that you are leaving your pets in safe hands when they are with Sophie (plus they love seeing her!).
Josh is an excellent dog walker , our 4 year old Visla Solomon has been going out with him and the pack for a couple of years now and loves his walks. We have never had any problems , Josh obviously loves dogs and is very knowledgeable about all things K9. He has been an invaluable source of advice and helped with behavioral aspects of Solomon’s care. His communication is clear and timely and we get great videos and route maps from each walk . I would highly recommend this dog walking service.
Josh has been an amazing part of our Mabel’s life, from the moment he first came to meet her, she absolutely adores him. His experience & knowledge of dogs is incredible, always calm & in control, they all look as if they are having the best time ever on their walks, she’s made a great group of friends. We really appreciate your support & fully recommend your services. 🙏
Such happy dogs they have a great time with Josh. They all have a great time and we always know where and what the dogs are up to! Couldn’t recommend more! We love him and so do our dogs…
Josh is a reliable, kind and competent dog walker. He genuinely loves the company of dogs and is excellent at communicating with them. He is highly recommended.
Literally the BEST dog walker ever. Josh has changed our lives plus we are 3 new clients who snapped him up. My dog is so happy abd I have someone brilliant, reliable and such a top guy. Josh we'd be lost without you love Gemma, willow, Judy, flow, Amanda and wilma your top 6 clients who love and adore you. Thank you for all you do. Xxxx
Josh is a dog whisperer. Within moments of meeting my dog, she felt safe with him. He understands any needs she has and treats her completely like one of his own. I get regular video updates, and our dog runs out of the door when she sees him and comes back with a big smile on her face. Our dog has become more sociable with other dogs, and is getting more confident with bigger dogs - this is all Josh's work. I would recommend Josh to anyone thinking of getting a dog walker, he's brilliant!
Josh at CaNine 2 Five is great! Brilliant communication and very responsive. He’s also very flexible and works around our lifestyle. Bonnie absolutely loves her walks and we get daily videos sent of all the fun she has on group and individual walks. She also wears a tracker so we can see exactly where she is the minute she’s picked up from our house! I’d definitely recommend Josh to anyone looking for a reliable and professional dog Walker.
Just the most amazing service. From first contact with Josh I was reassured that our dog was in good hands. He understood what we needed and listened to what we wanted for our dog and tailored his service in terms of contact with other people and dogs. Prompt, reliable and friendly for every walk we also got the benefit of gps tracking and some really fab videos on pics from the walks - better than we take ourselves! Our dog may be a pain sometimes but he is a pretty good judge of character and he loved the walks. The best.
My dog Billy has been going out with Josh for almost 6 months now and he loves it! Josh was great from their very first meeting. He is calm, discreet, always happy to give feedback and very professional. He treats each and every dog as if they were his own. And Billy loves him for it. This makes me feel so happy to let Billy go out with Josh and the pack and he comes back happy and ready for a good sleep! I couldn't recommend Canine 2 Five more highly!
We needed help walking our dog at short notice due to having to isolate. Josh was fantastic, he was able to fit us in for the time needed and on meeting Darcey soon made her confident and comfortable. He was always on time and the tracking of his location with our dog gave us complete confidence. He clearly loves dogs and his work. We will definitely use him again and would highly recommend him to others. Thanks Josh.
