Anne and Bryan arrived a day early so that we could acquaint them with the house and our pet Pekingese, Marlowe, and show them their quarters. We shared a couple of meals. The next day they drove us to the airport. Anne texted photos of Marlowe and we exchanged newsy notes daily. Marlowe can be a little temperamental but they immediately won him over, spent quality time with him, and walked him frequently during the day. Our neighbors enjoyed meeting them and said they were wonderful and devoted to Marlowe. While we were away Anne even took care the plants on our deck (they certainly look better than when we left) and worked in our flower garden so that when we came back after ten weeks it looked fabulous. The house was immaculate. They are a very charming and pleasant couple and thoughtful and caring dog sitters. Marlowe was calm and happy upon our return. The next time we travel we hope they will be available. Anne is an experienced house and pet sitter and I would highly recommend her.
Philippa was great with Ted, and he loved spending time with her. They went out for long walks each day and Philippa sent us photos of his trips so we could see what he was up to, and that he was happy. Philippa left that house as she found it, was very clean and tidy. Ted missed her when she left. Would love for Philippa to sit Ted again in October but dont think she'll be in NZ which is a shame. Would most definitely book Philippa to sit Ted again. Thanks Philippa.

We recently visited Cornwall on holiday and only realised last minute that we couldn't bring our dog Bertie along for lunch with us. Oliver was really quick at responding and was very flexible to our plans and time schedule. He kept us updated with how Bertie was getting on and he came back very happy and worn out from lots of play time and lovely walks! We were a little nervous as it was our first time leaving Bertie, but Oliver was so great and put our minds at ease so we could enjoy our afternoon off. Would highly recommend!
I would have no hesitation in recommending Oli and Waggers Pack. Oli has provided doggie daycare and doggie sitting services for us multiple times over 2 holidays in Cornwall for our 2 Cavapoos, when they were 6mth old and 14mth old puppies. Oli is professional, polite and very reliable. Always arrives/departs as scheduled. He is amazing with our dogs, one of which can be quite anxious, we could tell they had really bonded with him by the end of our stays. We will definitely be using Oli’s services again.
Oli is brilliant at his job and my dog loves him. He is really flexible and will walk my dog at short notice. They go on lots of different walks and my dog always comes back happy and tired. Would highly recommend.
Oli looked after Dotty our cocker spaniel today so we could go to The Eden Project. Dotty is quite shy but Oli was brilliant with her and gave us text updates and photos during the day. Dotty had a fantastic day and got to meet other dogs. She's fast asleep as I write this and very content. We'll be booking her in with Oli when we are back next year. Thanks Oli.
We recently visited Cornwall for our 1 year anniversary. We had a five night visit but the 1st night was a no dogs allowed as we were at a very posh restaurant. I contacted Waggers Pack 2 weeks before and struck up a text convo with Olly so I knew I could trust him. Wilbur our mini schnauzer is very nervous with others but he did love his time with Olly . Olly is the Dr Dolittle for dogs. I will always use Waggers Pack when looking for Wilbur cover. Nice one and thanks Olly. Marcus Millichope.
My dog Daisy really likes Oli and loves the long and varied walks. The dogs seem to have a really sociable, fun time and we love seeing the photos from the walks he posts every month or so. Great service, highly recommended.
We had a great experience with Wadebridge Waggers our dog was taken care off for us whilst we enjoyed a lunch with friends in Padstow. Our sitter arrived on time as requested and was very engaging and caring towards our Dog ,we have used this service before and would not hesitate to use again ,highly recommended.
Oli has been a life saver when my husband was injured and I was working in London, he took over their daily walks. The dogs love their walks with Oli who is always very professional and turns up as he says he will. I am very confident my dogs are in great hands. He also looks after my cat briliantly. Thanks Oli!
Oli is brilliant and just what your looking for. Our Holly goes to him for Doggy Day Care, and she cant wait. He really goes the extra mile, and will continuously recommend him to. Cheers Oli!
Oli is great with Poppy and she loves being out with all of the the other dogs. He is very efficient, well organised and flexible. Really like that he uploads photos of the dogs on their adventures. Would highly recommend.
Rhian has been a real life saver for us. We know that we can always count on her whenever we need her. She’s great at helping us out at short notice. We love the way she sends us pics and videos on the walks she takes with our dog and she always goes out of her way to make us and more importantly our dog feel happy and secure.
Rhian is a great dog walker and a really lovely person to boot. My boy Buddy absolutely adores her and waits at the door when she's due to arrive. He's getting to see other dogs and really enjoying his time at the beach. I love my tiny little man but sometimes he thinks he's a Rottweiler and barks at dogs that could eat him in one bite. But Rhian can read his body language and other dogs that approach him. I trust her to look after my dog and he always comes back absolutely starving! That's how I know he's had a good run. Great work Rhian!
Rhian is absolutely wonderful. Our dog goes out on weekly walks with Rhian, often pack walks which is great for her socialisation, and she absolutely loves it. We also get photos and videos after every walk which I love! Rhian has been excellent with our dog and her routines too as she can suffer from separation anxiety, but it took no time for our dog to settle completely into her new routine and that’s entirely down to Rhian. Highly recommend ☺️
I have been thrilled with the way Rhian has dealt with my dog. For context, I have a large breed dog who can be unpredictable and I was very nervous about leaving her (I even made a PowerPoint full of notes) however I shouldn’t have been. I received regular pictures and videos and I have come home to a tidy home and a very content dog. I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending Houndology. I have already rebooked for later in the year!
Can't recommend Houndology highly enough. My dog instantly loved her, like he'd found a long lost buddy! Rhian stayed at our home for a few days to care for a bouncy boxer. Both dog and home very well looked after. Will definitely use her services again. Thank you so much.
Rhian was very professional to deal with and our dogs were very happy. Having never been away from our dogs for a night I was a keen to find someone who would care for them as much as I do. Rhian has a well thought out process meeting the dogs beforehand and asking all the questions you could imagine. I felt happy to leave the dogs with her. I got pictures of the boys and you could see that they were happy. I would definitely ask Rhian to help out in the future.
We were recommended Houndology (Rhian) on a local pet owners page when I asked for recommendations for a dog sitter to dog sit for a day. Rhian was responsive and quickly got us booked in for a meet & greet. We discussed everything to do with my dog, she seemed really keen on understanding our dog and I signed paperwork. On the day of Rhian dog sitting, she was punctual, responsive and kept me updated on how my dog was settling with her and what they'd been up to throughout the day - This included pictures, which we loved receiving. Our dog got on very well with Rhian and I would highly recommend her, we will definitely be using her services again. Thanks Houndology!
Rhian did a great job looking after our two Doodle girls - she took them for a lovely walk and they were both very happy when we got home. Rhian is a lovely calm lady - and is very understanding of dog behaviour. She sent us photos on WhatsApp while we were out which was really lovely.
I’ve been using Houndology for the last six months and Rhian is amazing. A true professional and a natural with Barney and Lola, who can be a handful at times! Fully recommend for regular dog walking and dog sitting services!
Rhian helped out when I needed someone to help taxi George to and from daycare on days when I was attending training. It was such a relief to know that she was picking him up and dropping him home for me. I can highly recommend her services and will definitely be asking for her help again.
