Margit and Steve made this sit easy and smooth beginning weeks before the actual start date. They are the kind of homeowners that you wish for every time! During one video chat, Margit walked around the house to give me the lay of the land and virtually meet Parker and Bailey. Their verbal communication and written instructions were comprehensive. This was my first sit with more than one dog but my apprehension was soon dispelled. They keep each other company quite well - sometimes almost “spooning,” other times Parker is amusingly immune to Bailey’s charms! Parker pulls a little during our walks but she got better with time and loved exploring the neighborhood. Their routine is simple and easy to follow. They love treats, laying in the sun and saying hello to all who walk by (if you let them). This beautiful home is very comfortable and enjoyable, filled with memories of the homeowners’ world travels. It’s situated in the middle of seemingly infinite cultural, historical, culinary and more landmarks and commercial entities, all just waiting to be explored (within walking distance or only a few minutes away). My favorite walks were through tree-lined streets with older homes punctuated with modern ones springing up. And you have to love a sit where all the neighbors know your name! When I had a family emergency midway through this sit, Steve and Margit went above and beyond to help me through it. Thank you! Any sitter lucky enough to keep Parker and Bailey company will be grateful for the opportunity and look forward to returning. I know I am!
Janice was great to sit for. The house was very clean and her info/instructions were very helpful. The kitties are so sweet and cute. Very easy going and lovely to care for.
Brilliant experience at this lovely house with a really sweet cat Minty! Had a lovely time and Jane was a brilliant host. Thank you!
Our stay in Bath with Wip was terrific! John and Imren were fantastic hosts and made us feel part of the family from the off. We had concise instructions for looking after Wip and their lovely home, plus lengthy guides on beautiful walks in the area. Communication throughout our stay was easy and delightful, and often hilarious! Wip is an absolute dreamboat and joy to look after, we found it hard to say goodbye when our time was up. He loves his strolls around the backfield behind the house, and occasionally he would take us on an adventure up to the nearby allotments, or around different parts of the village. He's happy relaxing between walks, and even happier snuggling up in front of the telly of an evening. He is one of the easiest going dogs we've ever had the pleasure to look after. Even fireworks night didn't rattle him! The village of Larkhall on the edge of Bath has everything you could need, a great fruit and veg shop, butchers, two deli's, supermarket, and even a theatre. You don't even need to go into Bath, but when you do choose to it's an easy 30min walk into town, or the bus picks up and drops off right outside the front door. We loved our time looking after Wip for John and Imren, it really was the perfect sit. If you get the opportunity don't hesitate!
I LOVED this pet sitting. Buda is such a gentleman... A lovely and adorable dog. He and the two little guinea pigs were an amazing company for me the weekend I stayed with them. Alison gave me all the instructions very clear before they left and we had a great communication while the family was away. It was a pleasure to look after your pets and house! Thanks for everything ?
This house sit is situated in a stunning location. If you enjoy walks in the forest and uninterrupted views of a river, you are in for a treat. Archie the dog is endearing and a real joy to walk with. He is well behaved, around people and other dogs. Daphne was great to communicate with and everything one could need was available in her home. This was a fabulous sit.

When Stella first started going to Paws and Play she was a very timid 12 week old pup. Over the last year and a half I have watched Stella's confidence grow and I have Michelle to thank for it! Stella absolutely loves going to paws and play, in fact she drags me to her front door every time i drop her off! Michelle takes them on such lovely walks and has been amazing the whole time, offering so much advice on how we can help Stella. I honestly couldn't recommend her enough!
I cannot recommend Paws and Play enough. My 18 month old Cocker Spaniel literally pulls on his lead to get into Michelle’s - he loves it! His recall isn’t 100% so Michelle puts him on a long lead and he gets the best walks!
My 1 year old boy lochi has been going to paws and play now since he was 8 weeks old. He absolutely loves going to doggy day care and Michelle is amazing with him and he loves her and all his dog friends! Michelle is always willing to go above and behond. Highly recommended!
Took our Lab for a day as we were visiting some non dog friendly places. When she went back the day after next she couldn't wait to run down the path and into the garden as she had such a good time. Videos of her having so much fun were amazing too
Michelle came recommended to us and I am so glad we found Her. We booked our dog in for a few daycare sessions before leaving him for 3 weeks with Michelle, while away on holiday .. He was well looked after and looked like he had so much fun with the other dogs. Regular videos of their walks so we could see how he was getting on. Will definitely use Paws and Play for future holidays .
Can not recommend Michelle at Paws and Play enough! My Boxer Oscar started going to go day care there when he was a 5 month old puppy. Every time we pick him up at the end of the day he doesn’t want to leave, he loves it there! When we finally manage to get him in the car and home he is a very tired boy. The videos Michelle posts on social media just shows how much fun the dogs have. We wanted Oscar to get well socialised as a puppy and Paws and Play has definitely done this. Thank you Michelle. Xx
We found Michelle to loving and caring with the dogs in her care, it was the first time we had left our girls and they really enjoyed their holiday with her. It was so nice to know that the girls were really well cared for. Lovely walks in the woods,on the beach and moors. It was lovely to have this peace of mind,would certainly use Paws and Play again , would certainly recommend Michelle.
Paws and play was recommended to me and I'm so glad it was. We had a meet & greet and then we boarded Willow for 2 nights whilst we went away, this was the first time as 8 months old. Whilst away I could see pictures and videos of Willow enjoying herself having fun with other dogs, this gave me great reassurance she was having a ball. Michelle was great and I felt very much at ease leaving Willow in her care, Willow can't wait yo go again.
August 2021: We used Paws and Play for 2 days when we were on holiday in Cornwall, we couldn't have been more pleased - our dog had the time of her life with Michele and the other dogs whilst we had 2 dog free days at the beach. Highly recommend and we'll be back next summer. Update - August 2022: Back for a second summer. Winnie had 2 days with Michele at Paws and Play while we were on our mini-moon, she absolutely loves it there and we'll be back again in 2023!
When we received our rescue dog Beatrice back in February this year, Michelle welcomed her to her weekly routine of doggy day care! We seen Beatrice go from anxious dog to loving life at DDC. She helped Beatrice settle into life in the UK. Michelle and her experience is a must, if you are looking for some to help with your dogs behaviour.
Lisa and the team are amazing - they genuinely care and love the dogs as if they are their own and always have the dog’s best interests at the forefront of everything they do. I always feel at ease knowing that my dog is in good hands, …
Park Your Paws is a fantastic doggy daycare. Our rescue dog has been going there for 3 years now and we wouldn’t feel happy with him going anywhere else. We were nervous at the start as we weren’t sure how he would cope with being around …
Yesterday we left a review which we hoped would shed some light on some of the potential issues that could be faced by a not overly confident dog and hopefully the day care would take this on board and see it as a chance to improve their …
