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!
I have multiple animals that I love, but also love going away on holiday. The looks my dog gives me when I pack my case makes me feel so guilty for leaving him behind. Jo has provided superb care for my dog,horse, cat and chickens. She moves into my house meaning the animals are able to stay in their own enviroment. She makes sure she sticks to their regular routine making the separation from their family stress free. Knowing they are being so well cared for means I can enjoy my break. Sometimes she even brings her own dog, who mine has become best buddies with. I always know I will come back to a tidy house and happy pets. I cannot recommend her highly enough.
Amazing dog care! Jo’s love for animals is so evident and the care she gives is so bespoke. Nothing is a problem. If we’re running late or early with our dog, it’s never a problem. A really personable down to earth lovely lady who is trusted by our dog and our whole family!
Jo is just what you are looking for: great comms, confident and relaxed with pets. My pup had a great time and has returned content, well mannnered, exercised and clearly loved and well attended to.
Excellent service, my young lively dog and I felt very comfortable leaving, and returning. Very accommodating, lovely lady, would definitely recommend!
Tom and the gang and Joey's are amazing. Our rescue pupster Bilbo always has a great time and as soon as you say "Tom's coming" on a day care morning, he is visibly excited. The work Tom has done with Bilbo to help his social skills and confidence with other dogs has paid dividends and we can't say thank you enough! We're kept up to date with photos and they clearly care about each and every dog in their care. Would definitely recommend to anyone whose dog enjoys the company of other dogs and likes to play, learn and have new experiences in a caring environment.
I would thoroughly recommend anyone thinking about getting in touch with Tom and Sara about sending their dog to Joey's to give them a call. Getting weekly photos is a highlight of mine and my partner's week -- it's so special seeing Emmy with her friends and having a blast! Emmy had to be interviewed to see how she got along with other dogs, which gave us confidence that all of the other dogs at Joey's would be friendly and well socialised. Tom and Sara suggested a day for us that they knew matched Emmy's energy, so she became part of the Thursday group! You can tell that they really love and care for our Emmy as one of their own. It gives me the peace of mind that she will have a great time with all of her friends every week. The only downside is that Emmy is more excited to see Tom and Sara than to see me!
Waffles and her humans absolutely LOVE Joey’s. Tom and Sara are so kind and thoughtful and provide exceptional care to our Wooo Hooing Wonderhound. There is nothing quite like seeing photos of your pup excited, free and loving life whilst you are at work. We have such complicated, busy lives and having Joey’s means that there is no stress at all with regards to Waffles. She is loved like one of their own! 🐾🐾💖💖🐾🐾
Tom & Sara are so dedicated & passionate about Joey's. Our dog Tilly has the best time, is always enthusiastic to get collected & enjoys all the varied activities provided. The best Doggie Day Care in Dorset!
My little pooch, Rudy, has been going to Joey’s for over a year now and if I could give more than 5 stars for the review I absolutely would! Rudy goes 3 times a week and they’re definitely his favourite days of the week. Tom and Sara are Rudy’s favourite people I swear and they’ve been amazing at helping with Rudy’s anxieties and his behaviours so much better since coming to their doggy daycare. Genuinely don’t know what we’d do without you guys - thank you so much!
Joeys doggie day care! Well what a fabulous place. Betty has never been happier. They really have so much expertise and love for their doggies. I feel very happy that Betty is getting the best care and expertise when she is there. Highly recommended ❤️
If you are looking for a safe and fun day care for your beloved doggie, Joey’s Day Care provides exactly that, and much more! Our Springerpoo, Hattie, absolutely loves it! Tom and Sara are full of knowledge and experienced with dogs of different character and behaviours. They are always happy to answer/resolve any queries or concerns I have. They are professional as well as understanding and accommodating and have both taken the time to get to know Hattie all throughout the assessment and probation periods also ensuring that Hattie would fit into the doggie group. All owners can be rest assured that their doggies would be spending time with other friendly and well behaved dogs. They have been extremely informative with the process to ensure both owners and doggies are satisfied. It is so clear that all doggies are extremely happy, comfortable and well cared for right from pick ups to drop offs- YES! They provide an excellent pick up and drop off service in their well equipped beautiful van! Owners are kept informed of how their pups have been with amazing photos and new starter reports- this is exactly what we needed as Hattie could be quite anxious at times especially with travelling. Hattie has since made such cute and amazing friends who have also taught her good behaviours and manners. Hattie is a high energy, excited dog who struggles to contain her excitement. She has always come home content, happy and tired from zooming around with her friends. Hattie has also learned to behave much calmer in public now when meeting other doggies and people. It is like having day care and dog training all in one package! Joey’s have all kinds of enrichment activity including a paddling pool, ball pit, sandpit, digging area, doggie safe garden sniffing area and more- let’s not forget the amazing room for napping which has air-con in the summer with tv screen and calming music! This luxury 5* treatment for doggies is definitely not easy to find! We are so very pleased to have found Joey’s for Hattie and looking forward to seeing and hearing more about Hattie’s future stays with you. 😊
Our dog absolutely loves going to Joeys doggy day care. He waits so excitedly at the door in the morning as he knows he’s being picked up for his favourite day, full of fun and seeing his pals. He always comes home tired and sleeps very well after his day at Joeys! (And no matter how muddy his paws may have got he always come home clean!) Tom and Sara are extremely dedicated to providing a safe and happy environment for the dogs with lots of activities and stimulation. It’s an absolute joy to look through the photos at the end of the day - you can see all the dogs are having the time of their lives. The initial assessment was very thorough and informative, I loved the structure and set up for the day of activities, including cosy dens for nap time. I knew straight away this was perfect for our dog. The best part is having the pick up and drop of service which is fantastic as it makes it so easy for us. Tom and Sara are always on hand to answer any queries or worries that we have. I have total trust with them, and I wouldn’t go anywhere else now - This is the best doggy day care and really is one of a kind. 🐾
Went for the opening day and had a great time and the dogs absolutely loved it! They have lots of fun outdoor areas like the ball park, swimming pool, trampolines and also some lovely inside areas which were nice and cool so lovely to go in when it's hot outside.
Joey’s Doggie Daycare is amazing! There is nothing else like it around! The staff are incredibly caring and dedicated, looking after all the dogs as if they were their own. The facilities are incredible- from air conditioned rooms to a huge ball pool, the dogs love it! Thank you Joey’s!
I’m so glad we found WDWW! Our boy absolutely loves Allana and is so settled when she does overnight sits with him. I really hope we never have to find anyone else! Allana is clearly naturally gifted with caring for animals, and puts you completely at ease when caring for your pet. Lovely regular updates, and always a happy waggy tail when we come home! If you’re looking for care for your pets within Allana’s area, I 110% recommend choosing WDWW! I no longer worry when I’m away, and I’ve never felt so confident in overnight care for my dog.
Allana is the best cat sitter we have ever had so attentive and caring went above and beyond looking after our cats needs ....even our timid kitty was comfortable with her very reasonable rates would 100% recommend.
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!
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
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
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
My rabbit, Eric, has been enjoying his holidays at Small Paws Lodge for the past five years. The set up is excellent and I know that he is being very well cared for when I am away. I travel 50 minutes each way to drop him off, but I wouldn't take him anywhere else. Thank you Catherine and family!
I've used Small Paws Lodge a few times already and really should have put on a review earlier. They are great ! I have no hesitation in placing my rabbit with them. It is a small setup so the pets receive personal care. I've already booked again for 2 weeks in March.
Absolutely love Small Paws, we have four rabbits and they always receive excellent care when we’re away. They’re more than accommodating of any requests you have, and go out of their way to work around your schedule for drop off/pick ups. Plus we get regular photo updates so we know how happy our buns are. Couldn’t recommend them enough!
Hi.I am an animal lover, with a family of rescued pets...I can thoroughly recommend Small paws lodge..for your much loved rabbits, guinea pigs even hamsters are looked after by the whole family, with love and dedication.Kat is a qualified vetinary nurse,so you can expect the very best, and enjoy your time away!
