It is with great pleasure to write this review for Karen. Karen arrived early to acquaint herself with our dog's routine and our home. We instantly felt comfortable leaving our home and dog in her capable hands. We returned to a very clean house, a wonderfully well groomed dog, and a tureen of soup for our after flight sustenance. We are still finding little hints of her attention to our lifestyle around our home, a photo here, a book there and again our happy well cared for dog. Karen's adventurous spirit ensured she was able to enjoy her time here and for us to know that she would be able to handle anything that arose while we were gone. We highly recommend Karen and would have her back in an instant.

5* service! I can’t thank Richard and Paula enough for taking care of my two border terriers. They welcomed my dogs into their home and treated them as if they were their own. It is clear they love dogs and are very caring. I was given regular updates during my trip away and I would highly recommend to anyone who is looking for home boarding. Thank you again
My Jack Russell Gary is definitely not a lapdog and takes a lot of looking after. I have never left him with anyone overnight because he is such hard work! We met Paula and Richard and immediately both felt at ease with them. Gary loved them from the start. He has just had his first overnight stay and I couldn't have felt happier leaving him in their care. They sent photos of what he was getting up to and he clearly made himself at home. We have booked for a weeks stay on October as they cared for him so well
What can we say .. 5 stars just isn’t enough . We rescued our dog Tommy , he came with the usual problems of anxiety , mis trust issues , which meant we didn’t go on holiday without him , until we found Richard and Paula , as soon as Tommy met them , we just knew . Tommy had such a good time with them , he was nurtured every step of the way they took time to win him over and let Tommy come to them when he was ready , Tommy even got chance to get in the paddling pool . Tommy had the best time and can’t wait to visit again . We felt so at ease leaving him , can’t thank you both enough ☺️
Rich and Paula have been amazing for us and Elsie our Sprocker. They have been really flexible for us lately due to a family bereavement , although Elsie is booked in as dog walking she’s also been at theirs for day care and boarding and she’s so happy going. It’s very much a home from home and would definitely recommend them 😁 …
Our Cocker Spaniel Bailey had a short break with Rich & Paula this weekend. He has been looked after so well and he’s definitely enjoyed his stay with them. I had regular updates with photos. I would highly recommend them. Thank you from Bev, Phil & Bailey 🐾 …
It was our first experience of leaving Eddie with a dog boarder so we were a bit apprehensive at leaving him but we needn’t have been as he appeared to settle in well and Paula & Rich took such excellent care of him, we were sent regular updates with photos and videos so we were reassured that Eddie was enjoying his holiday as much as we were enjoying ours ! We would be more than happy to recommend Happy Hound Haven and we’re sure Eddie would love to stay again.
We have left our 2 year old Springer Spaniel with Happy Hound Haven multiple times already this year and have a few more stays planned with them in the near future. We found their services this year and we have not looked back, our dog absolutely loves staying here and receives top quality care at all times - it is like she is part of their family. The home is a wonderful place for dogs to stay with lots of areas for downtime and a lovely garden to play in and sniff around. Happy Hound Haven are very professional, we have thoroughly enjoyed dealing with them for each of our dogs stays. Our dog always returns home happy, safe and well looked after and she is always super excited to return - which is always a great sign!! We are sent pictures and updates throughout her stays, which we love as it reassures us whilst we are away. I honestly cannot recommend Happy Hound Haven enough to anyone thinking of using the service - they truly are amazing!! The location is lovely with plenty of scenic and fun filled walks for our dog - she has lots of energy so it's the perfect place for her to be as she has lots of opportunities to enjoy the different walk options.
Richard and Paula are fabulous! Whether it's day care, overnighting or just a drop in they really care about our two Weimeraners. They are big dogs but nothing is too much trouble for them even sharing the sun lounger in their garden 😀 You know the dogs are happy to go to them because they get excited before every visit. …
I was looking for a dog boarders in my local area and came across Happy Hound Haven. I am so glad I did. My dog Monty loves it there! They have a great set up and he is so well looked after and happy when I pick him up. I wanted a home away from home for him and that's exactly what Happy Hound Haven is!
I cannot recommend Happy Hound Haven enough! They took care of my nanna's timid cat, Snowflake, for a full month, and the experience was nothing short of fantastic. From the very beginning, Rich was incredibly friendly and attentive, putting my mind at ease about leaving Snowflake in someone else's care. Rich took the time to understand Snowflake's complex needs, ensuring her needs were met. It was clear that he genuinely cared about her well being and making her as comfortable as possible as she wasn’t used to been in the house. If you're looking for a reliable and compassionate cat sitter, look no further than Happy Hound Haven. I would absolutely rebook their services without hesitation. If you have the chance to have them look after your pets, consider yourself lucky! Thank you, Happy Hound Haven, for taking such wonderful care of Snowflake!
Excellent service of boarding both my dogs in a home environment. Vicky Campling is a devoted dog lover and I wouldn't leave my dogs in kennels ever, with Woof and Wags I'm not worrying about them at all and can enjoy my holiday knowing they're in very good hands! 🐕🐕🐕 …
Best care you will ever get. 1000% Love your care you have for all dogs, treated like family xxx
Excellent care for all dogs would highly recommend!!!
Ecellant service. A home from home for all dogs.
Excellent
Thank you to Max and Jo for doing wonderful job of looking after my Doug. Doug can be a sensitive soul but Max & Jo went above and beyond making sure he was comfortable including a night time tuck in service 😆. I don't think any other kennel would've have given him as much contact time. Thanks so much ❤️ …
Absolutely amazing place 5 * had to book last minute had some really bad experiences with kennels in the past so was a little reluctant. this is not like any other kennels I have used before this is a hotel for dog. she has had lots of cuddles and play time she got Xmas gifts which she won't give up and was given extra special hugs and love would 100 percent use them again
Vinny's First Kennel Stay - A 5-Star Experience I was a bit nervous about leaving Vinny in kennels for the first time, but as soon as I met Max, all my worries melted away. He was so friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about dogs. I could tell right away that Vinny would be in safe hands. When we picked Vinny up, he was tail-wagging and happy, which was a huge relief. It was clear that he had a great time and was well cared for. The kennels were clean and spacious, and the staff were incredibly attentive. I'm so grateful for the peace of mind I had knowing that Vinny was in such good hands. I would highly recommend Six Acre Kennels to anyone looking for a reliable and caring place to board their furry friend. Thank you, Max and the team, for making Vinny's first kennel experience such a positive one!
Six Acres was recommended to me by a dog owner who lives near me. It sounded so good I arranged to have a look around. At this visit Max explained all about the kennels and what was provided. I was very impressed. I visited again with Marley my little dog just to see how he responded. As a result of this visit I booked a holiday. The day I dropped him off was very emotional I had never left him before. Jo was absolutely brilliant and put me at ease. I was able to have a lovely holiday knowing Marley was being well looked after and having fun. I received photos and a video which were nice to receive and confirmation he was OK. When I collected Marley he made a fuss of us but also made a fuss of Max. Actions speak louder than words. Highley recommend these kennels and will definitely use them again. A big thank you to Max Jo and the team
WOW! What a beautiful place. If I could I would come back as a dog as long as I placed in Six Acres for my holidays. Max has a lovely establishment and has put thought into what your dog needs to feel happy and comfortable. We always worried in the past about leaving Blue in Kennels as we have had some bad experiences. Max sent us pictures of Blue looking very happy and a video of him enjoying running around and investigating the paddock area. All this put us at ease to enjoy our Holiday. I would recommend Six Acres to anyone who wants there furbaby to have a five star experience. Thanks again Max. See you again x
This was the first time we had ever left our dog other than with family whilst away on holiday so we were somewhat worried. We needn't have worried, the week before, we all went up to be shown round with everything explained to us. On the day we checked the dog in the staff made sure everything with his routine was right so it would be a home from home for him. Everyone at six acres did everything to make sure the dog’s stay was brilliant and we had regular pictures and updates on how he was doing sent to us whilst away giving us the piece of mind we needed so that we could enjoy our holiday knowing he was fine. The kennels are spotlessly clean with a nice big secure wood at the back for the dogs to run around and play in and the all the staff are fantastic, going above and beyond to make sure everything went smoothly. We will definitely be using six acres again safe in the knowledge that the dog is happy and looked after brilliantly. I couldn’t recommend six acres strongly enough, if you are looking for a safe, clean kennels where your dogs will be looked after then book in here. Thank you six acres Jasper will see you again next time.
Brilliant Kennel, fantastic staff and my dog was well looked after. We will definitely be using every time we go away if they can have him. Really happy
Absolutely gorgeous luxury kennels and so clean and safe. The dogs even have their own TV and outdoor space along with a secure fence off woodland play area.You can see straight away how caring and passionate the owner is about the dogs.Frank came back very happy. Would definitely recommend and we will be back.Thank you so much Max.
Max is fantastic with the dogs and they're always very happy to be there. If you want updates you can simply message and make sure the doggos are ok. This is the first kennel I have ever taken both my dogs because it is clean and well kept. There is also a nice amount of kennels meaning they won't be forgotten about due to having hundreds like most places. Definitely recommend and use all the time!
Everything about 6 acres is 5 star plus. The kennels, facilities, care and professionalism. We recently placed our grumpy old Patterdale with 'issues' there, along with our other dog Nell. I was very worried about leaving them however i didn't need to be as Max & Jo looked after them like they were their own. I am so happy to have found a place i can 100% trust with my dogs & will definitely use them again.
Barbara is amazing with our two dogs, a big and always-on-lead Golden Retriever, and an energentic always-off-lead cocker spaniel. She manages them both well, is always accommodating to our needs and the dogs genuinely love seeing her. She takes them into her home and sends lovely pictures of them lounging around her house, on walks with other dogs and so on. Barbara provides an excellent service and I heartily recommend her.
Barbara is fantastic and would definitely recommend. She is very accommodating, (even with my over protectiveness) when I was boarding my two fur babies. They felt very relaxed and she fidnt want to chsnge their routine whilst with her. An absolute animal lover and treat them like her own. Couldn't have asked for more!
Barbara is a fantastic dog walker. Her love for the dogs she walks really shines through and is shown by the sheer enthusiasm my dog expresses when she arrives to take him out.
Very professional dog services, reasonable price, always reliable and helpful
Friendly owner who loves pets and looks after them with care. Highly recommend ☺
I'm happy I found Outwood - Bark and Board, Adam and Scott were amazing with my french bulldog, he has some extra needs and were very accommodating and adapted when needed, I was worried as it was too warm for him but they were amazing in taking care of him! They were very easy to contact and very organized too, we also got some videos and photos during his stay. I was surprised as they managed to socialize him with other dogs and we were thrilled to see him relaxed with new dog friends. The whole experience was very good and I'd definitely use them again, I recommend to everyone thinking about a dog boarding. Thank you! :)
Our Cocker Spaniel Bailey recently stayed with Adam at his lovely, welcoming home 😊 the love and attention given to Bailey was amazing and I was kept up to date with regular messages during his stay. I would highly recommend Outwood Bark & Board to anyone who need a home from home pet sitter 😊 Bailey is looking forward to returning …
We couldn't be happier with the love and care our dog Ellie received at Bark and Board from Adam and Scott! They are incredibly professional and caring, and they treat every pooch as part of their family. Our Ellie, she doesn't warm up easily to people, bonded with them so well during her stays. They kept us updated throughout with photos and messages, which gave us complete peace of mind. Ellie has stayed here a few times now, and she always looks forward to her next visit. Highly recommend – they are truly amazing people and provide a wonderful home-away-from-home for pooches!
Left our dog Reggie with Bark and Board for two weeks - really happy with how he was looked after. Scott and Adam were a delight to deal with - highly professional and treated Reggie like one of the family. He was well cared for , exercised and played with regularly . He had lots of human interaction which was important to us. A great alternative to kennels. Would recommend them to anyone wanting a more home based care for their dog. Will definitely be using them again.
Outwood Bark and Board is absolutely amazing! If I could give more than five stars I would. Such a professional, caring and wonderful service. We've not boarded our dog before and felt nervous but we shouldn't have. We can tell our dog has had a super stay with how relaxed she is. I would not hesitate to recommend. Thank you so much! Our dog is looking forward to her next stay already.
Our dog has just come back from her first stay at Outwood Bark and Board and we can’t praise them enough. The care they have shown is amazing our girl has had the best time and been looked after exceptionally. Also as this was the first time we’d left her the regular updates and photos are amazing. We wouldn’t hesitate to book again and I think she’ll be begging to go back x
Our Griff Elliott has stayed with Adam and Scott a couple of times now and he absolutely loves it. We got updates throughout his stay and he's treated like he's one of the family. Cannot recommend them enough ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Thank you so much to Lucy and Elaine for taking care of Alba while I left him for the first time to go on holiday. The photos and updates were a real nice touch to see how content he was at home with you both and out on adventures/walks. I came home to one very happy boy who'd clearly been loved and cared for as much as I do. I'm sure Alba will look forward to more sleepover nights with you!
Lucy & Elaine looked after my elderly cats recently and they were fantastic. Really appreciated the photo updates and came home to 2 happy cats having received lots of cuddles and attention on their visits :) Will definitely be using them again and would 100% recommend them. Thank you both once again:)
We recently went away for our summer holiday and were so impressed with the care our dog Gus received from Lucy, Elaine and Janice. They did a pre visit to get to know Gus, and Janice did a fabulous job looking after him while we were away and kept us up to date the whole time. We will definitely use them again and highly recommend them!
My daughter recommended these lovely ladies and we are delighted with their service, care and genuine cat love! Our oldies, Barney and Bruno, like a stress free life these days and we came home after a week away to two perfectly happy kitties. Would highly recommend. Daily updates and pictures are especially reassuring. 👌 thank you!
Amazing service, we went away for 10 days to Italy and knew our dogs would be looked after perfectly. We were kept updated by Lucy while away with messages/photos of our dogs and they looked like they were having a great time. She took them on daily walks and to dog parks off their own back. When coming home our house was left clean and in order which is great when coming back from a long holiday. Would highly recommend their service and will be using them again for sure.
Fantastic service! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Lucy and Elaine, we can not thank you enough for looking after our dog (and our rabbit). As our dog is so young and nervous, the thought of leaving him caused us so much worry. We were definitely worrying for nothing, it didn’t take long for him to completely settle. Thanks to the live in/house sitting service you offer, he could stay in the comfort of his own home whilst we were gone, taking away so much stress for him…..and us! I had regular updates, pictures, messages, all allowing us to enjoy our holiday, knowing he was happy. We’ve already made our next booking for later in the year and our holiday next year will certainly be booked around your availability! Thank you again, we are extremely grateful! 🐾💙
Thank you Elaine and Lucy for looking after our 2 cats Archie and Lily while we were away. You both did a brilliant job and we felt so reassured that you were there to take care of them, giving them lots of TLC plus we loved all the photos you sent us every day, We came back to 2 happy cats and the house was left lovely and clean. Would definitely recommend you to anyone who needs any Pet sitting. Lovely ladies, thank you so much and look forward to next time 😻😻 xxx
Thank you so much to Evie, Lucy and Elaine for walking our boy while we were on holiday and picking him up and returning him to my in-laws. He had a wonderful time. Thank you for the photographs of him wet through while we laid in the sun haha. We will definitely use you again in the future and recommend you to family and friends.
We Love Pets came to the rescue when I needed some specific support for my older, sometimes grumpy dog whilst we went on hol. We are often cautious of who meets our dog as if they don’t listen to our requests when introductions take place, it could result in her being snappy. Elaine and Linda were able to come and meet our dog and 100% listened to what needed to happen for the introductions to be positive. This was then the foundation for a loving relationship with Linda to be built! Linda was calm, kind and caring and very clearly an animal lover. So very gentle with our dog and did things on her terms. When away, I felt fully assured our dog was in very safe and caring hands. They were flexible and accommodating with visit days and times. Wouldn’t hesitate to contact again and can fully recommend to anyone else who may be considering We Love Pets. Their input and care was the difference between us being able to go on a family holiday and not. Communication has been great throughout with responsive messaging. Thank you!
I’ve used them a couple of times now & im really pleased with the service. One very good cat who loves her cuddles each visit. One very shy cat who they worked with to gain her trust & get her to come out for head rubs Getting daily photos on holiday stops me missing them as much & gave me reassurance that they were happy & not missing me! Very reasonable price too.
Best doggy daycare ever! Mowgli's mutts have a fantastic facility and go the extra mile to look after your fur babies ❤️
Becky and the team are amazing. Our springer loves it at Mowglis, he is well cared for as loved, as he would be with us at home. He loves his varied walks and the daycare environment. We use the pick up and drop off service which has been a god send...100% recommend to anyone.
Our little sausage loves coming here, so much so that when she had to stay home for a few weeks recently for her season she really missed it, and spinned in excitement when we were at the door when she could go back - that says it all really!
Buddy loves his day care ❤️ and they are so accommodating and patient
One of the best doggy daycare in the area come take a look
Kelly is the most dependable and professional dog walker that I know. She has walked, boarded and loved both my dogs and also fed my cat when I've been away. My dogs absolutely adore her and I feel relaxed knowing they're in her safe hands. Thoroughly recommend Kelly's Paw Pals services.
Kelly has looked after our cat Eddie a few times now whilst we have been away. We know Eddie is well looked after and his every need is catered for. With regular updates and photos, we know he is happy and Kelly loves her animals which shows in her care and attention to detail. Would highly recommended Kelly's Paw Pal's to look after your pets, a very personal and professional service.
Kelly’s paw pals have looked after our spaniel Vinnie since he was a puppy which has made him into the happy friendly and sociable dog he is today. Vinnie has a walk each week to keep up with his socialisation and it’s the best thing we did. Kelly also boards our dog when we go on holiday and we always feel comfortable leaving him knowing he is having the best time. Kelly’s paw pals is always accommodating and Vinnie loves Kelly and the team 😍
Kelly and her team have had our boy Rocco board several times and have offered excellent service everytime. She really does make it a home from home for him and considers every detail of his stay providing a welcoming, safe and living environment. We also use Kelly’s Paw Pals for their walking service which we have found to be an excellent service too. Would highly recommend using Kelly and her teams services!
Kelly’s paw pals are a fantastic home from home boarder who look after your pooches like they’re their own. One of ours was poorly when we were away and they took him to the vets and got him sorted quickly. Can’t recommend enough.
Irresponsible and Uninsured Dog Walker - A Costly Mistake! I turned to Kelly's Paw Pals, drawn by her apparent expertise with large dogs and her experience with breeds like my Belgian Malinois. My decision, however, became a costly mistake. Despite regular communication about my dogs' needs and safety, Kelly's Paw Pals demonstrated a shocking lack of professionalism and responsibility. The incident occurred under the watch of Kelly's inexperienced staff member, who lacked adequate training and was never introduced to my dogs. This led to a horrifying injury to my Malinois during a walk. My dog, allowed off-leash with my prior consent under safe conditions, was left to approach a stranger's Rottweiler, resulting in severe injuries, significant vet bills, and ongoing distress. The alarming thought is that if I hadn't returned early due to a pre-arranged vet appointment, my dog would have been left bleeding and unattended, in the care of an inexperienced handler who didn't even notice the injury. Just a week before the incident, I had contacted Kelly with concerns about my Malinois's recall. I explicitly requested that my dog not be let off the lead. Kelly dismissed my warning, stating it only applied to that specific day, which ultimately led to the unfortunate incident. Adding to the distress, Kelly's response to my plea for help was far from empathetic. She claimed her insurance wouldn't cover the incident because I had previously permitted off-leash walking, information never disclosed during our initial agreement. This ordeal inflicted substantial expenses, emotional turmoil, and a need to reduce my work hours to care for my injured dog. Kelly displayed no accountability, empathy, or willingness to improve her practices, leaving me deeply disappointed and concerned for others who might face similar situations. In conclusion, my experience with Kelly's Paw Pals has been a costly mistake. To protect your pets' safety and well-being, I strongly discourage entrusting them to this service. The lack of professionalism, inadequate training, and an absence of genuine care make Kelly's Paw Pals an unreliable and risky choice for any pet owner. Beware.
Kelly's paw pals had my beloved dog to stay over for a few nights. Kelly took great care of him, with regular updates to me letting me know how he was. He came home a happy boy. I Would highly recommend the service 👌🏻 …
Kelly was so good with Ozzy, my Lhasa Apso. Ozzy loved his walks with his Paw Pals and never wanted to come home. I would not hesitate to let Kelly look after him again. Kelly is a true dog lover and clearly very experienced and professional - Keep up the good work and my boy hopes to see you and his friends again soon.
Amazing service from Kelly and her team. Special thanks to Becky who walks our Cockapoo Pip every week. We would 100% recommend Kelly’s Paw Pals
Kelly was so helpful from start to finish and nothing was too much trouble! She looked after my little dog for one night and made sure I had lots of photo updates throughout. She even picked him up and dropped him off to me too! Would recommend :)
I have sent my dog to her a few times and I can tell my boy was well looked after by his reactions. I have made 2 more bookings with her and will definitely come back when I need. Solid 5 stars!!!!
Doggy Kamp has been a life saver for us after making the decision that our very anxious dog could no longer be left alone and we needed someone to look after him whilst we are at work. Ines takes great care of him and his behaviour quirks, she is very communicative and always responds quickly. We are happy to leave him in her care and glad he fits into the family.
Ines made sure that my dog was well looked after and he felt secure with the family. She treated him as if he was part of the family, which was good as he is not used to being around children and he loved it. He will be spending more time at Pets Haven soon.
Looked after my dog at very short notice and did a sterling job of keeping her happy and fed despite Indigos shyness. Truly went above and beyond what I would of expected!
My dogs 2nd home, if you are looking for dog sitting/boarding option you won’t get much better, reasonable price, caring, family focused. Excellent.
Our Millie had the best weekends at Pets Haven when we're away.
