Heleen stayed with Fred our dog while we were on holiday in France. We spent a very pleasant day with Heleen before we departed. We think that Heleen would be more suited to animals that do not need a lot of exercise as Fred was not exercised for the agreed amount of time each day. She left the house clean and tidy as she found it.
Cat and Paul cat/ house sat for me for the second time and yet again they exceeded my expectations. What a wonderful couple! Real cat lovers, gardeners, olive pickers, cooks and now friends. My cats have never looked so well groomed. Cat have been sending me pictures of the cats and updates throughout my absence. On my arrival there was a bottle of excellent wine, veggie lasagna and a delicious lemon cake waiting. The house was neat and tidy, and the hot water turned on for a long shower. Cat and Paul are a very genuine, friendly and helpful couple. I'd recommend them to anyone. Thank you again and am looking forward to the next time.

We have been using Helen for 6 years for several dogs. She always takes excellent care of their individual needs (our dogs are not the easiest!) and makes sure they are happy. I always feel reassured when they are with Helen, knowing she will look after them properly.
Helen is a very reliable cat sitter and she always keeps us well informed about our cats while we are away via WhatsApp. It is stressful looking for a cat sitter but as soon as Helen arrived for her preliminary visit it was clear how much she loved cats.She goes out of her way to put our cats at their ease. Last time Helen called to collect the keys one of our cats actually looked excited to see her. I would have no hesitation in recommending Helen as a cat sitter.
Helen has been looking after our elderly dog twice a week for doggy daycare since January when our previous daycare person retired, and I honestly can’t recommend her more highly. As our dog is older he has some hearing and sight issues and we were quite nervous about finding another person, but Helen is wonderful with him and he absolutely loves her and going to daycare for lovely long walks with his new pack (she sends us photos of all their antics!). I completely trust Helen with caring for our dog and I am so glad we found her.
Helen is the best - our dog Monty absolutely loves her and is so excited every time she picks him up. She shows such affection for the dogs in her care and sends lots of photos of them all having fun throughout the day. Helen was the obvious choice as I didn’t want to send him to daycare in a field or inside and Helen takes them on long walks and he comes home exhausted ! Couldn’t recommend Helen more.
We have been using Helen since our dog was a puppy. She loves going to Doggy Daycare and is always excited to see Helen. She has a good variety of activities and takes the dogs out to different places. She's very trustworthy. I'd have no hesitation in recommending Helen.
Helen is fantastic, jackson loves his days with her. She has an amazing group of dogs and Jackson is always super tired when he comes home. She is flexible and reliable! Would highly recommend!
Lovely, lovely Helen was in charge of our gang of furry friends. For 10 days, she stayed with our beloved dog, our ginger boy (cat), and our two guinea pigs. And I swear it's as if they're waiting for her to come back! They clearly had the time of their lives! And Helen was just amazing, keeping us up to date with such wonderful photos and texts. She was so hands-on and so wonderful with the pets. Completely and utterly trustworthy. Our dog never had it so good. He explored the length and breadth of West London with Helen by his side. Helen is just superb and we can't wait to have her look after our brood again. She's popular and it's so easy to see why! We came home to the such a happy and well-loved household!
Helen has been walking our Cavalier KC for over 18months and is fantastic. She’s super reliable and flexible on which days she walks our dog, which is really helpful for our lifestyle. I feel our Cavalier is in safe and caring hands with Helen. I like that she walks in different locations each day, which gives variety across the week. I’d highly recommend Helen and couldn’t ask for a better dog walker.
We would thoroughly recommend Helen as a dog walker! Helen arrives promptly each day, is very affectionate and loving with our beagle Alfie, and is very professional with her service. Alfie immediately warmed to her, and his tail wags every time her hears her knock at the door. He clearly enjoys his daily walks with Helen, and interacts well with the other dogs.
We have used Helen's Pet Care Service several times over the past two years for pet sitting our two cats while we are away on holiday. We have always preferred for our cats to stay at home rather than being at a cattery so finding a pet sitter was very important to us when we moved to West London a couple of years ago. Helen is always responsive and keeps us informed while we're away. I would highly recommend Helen to anyone looking for a reliable, caring and professional pet sitter.
Shona is a such a wonderful, caring and nurturing dog-sitter. We are so glad that we found her. We adopted our little one from Battersea, after a very rough start in life and separation anxiety. We were looking for someone who really understood dog behaviour - particularly triggers. We cannot express just how great Shona was in arranging meet and greets, building up trust and updating us every step of the way. Our little one settled so well and to see videos of her, so at ease , and wagging her tail 'helicopter style' as she played in the garden; It meant the World to us. I cannot recommend Shona highly enough - she is reliable, trustworthy, committed and so accommodating. I would not leave my dog with anyone else.
So lucky to have found Shona. Our nervous dog settled in easily & we were given lots of updates & photos during her stay. We have taken her back since and she was very happy to stay again. Thank you for all your care & attention Highly recommended.
My family dog is very nervous so naturally, we were apprehensive about leaving him for the weekend. Shona was so transparent from the get go and instantly made me feel comfortable and reassured. She offered to meet Frankie (our dog) beforehand and sent regular pics and updates during his stay. Couldn't recommend DogsOntheGo enough, a lovely person with a genuine love and care for all animals. Worry free which makes going away all that more enjoyable.
Shona is amazing! Whenever I'm out and she drops in to take care of my puppy Charlie, I feel completely at ease. She's incredibly reliable and attentive to his needs. You can see Shona's genuine love in the way she interacts with my Charlie. I'm so grateful to have her helping out, knowing that my puppy is in the best hands possible.
I recently had the pleasure of having Shona take care of my dog, Jazz, while I was away. I can't say enough good things about the experience. Shona kept me updated throughout Jazz's stay, sending me regular updates and photos that put my mind at ease. It was clear that Shona provided Jazz with a loving and attentive environment, and I returned to a happy and well-cared-for pup. I highly recommend Shona's dog boarding services to any pet owner looking for high-quality care and peace of mind while they're away.
We've had the pleasure of entrusting our beloved dog to Shona on several occasions, and I must say, she is hands down the best dog sitter we've ever encountered. Our dog, who can be quite a handful, was managed brilliantly by Shona. She's not just a sitter; she's a true professional and a dog whisperer! What sets Shona apart is her extraordinary ability to connect with our dog. Despite his challenging behavior, Shona handled him with such ease and professionalism, treating him as if he were part of her own family. She consistently provided us with updates, which was a huge comfort and demonstrated her genuine care and commitment. Her professionalism extends beyond just taking care of our pet. She addressed all of our concerns thoughtfully and assured us that everything would be well taken care of. And she was right! Each time we returned, we found our dog happy and healthy, which speaks volumes about the quality of care Shona provides. For anyone in need of a reliable, compassionate, and highly skilled dog sitter, look no further than Shona. She doesn't just look after your pet; she ensures they are loved, cared for, and treated with the utmost respect. We are beyond grateful for her services and plan to continue using them in the future. Thank you, Shona, for being amazing at what you do!
I'm thrilled to express my gratitude for Shona, who diligently cares for my dog Maxwell during my work hours. Her genuine love for animals is evident in her warm demeanor and attentive care. Shonas patience and compassion shine through, especially when dealing with challenging behaviors. She ensures my dog's well-being with professionalism and reliability, providing peace of mind while I'm away. I wholeheartedly recommend Shona to any pet owner seeking exceptional care for their dog.
Thank goodness we managed to find Shona when we did, she’s been brilliant!!! We were sent plenty of photos and updates while we were away and Jojo couldn’t have been happier in her care!!!
When I met Kremena, I knew that she loved dogs and cats. Oscar my dog took to her like a duck to water and they built a fabulous bond which made me very happy. She has looked after him since he was 4 months old. She has kept me updated with pictures of his pranks and escapades while I have been at work. I have no hesitation in leaving Oscar with a peace of mind knowing that he will be loved unconditionally. Also I would like to say that she has accommodated me at very short notice. Which very few sitters do it. I highly recommend if you are looking for a dog board/sitter/walker it is her Thank you for all the love you give Oscar xx
Kremena is the best thing that could happen to our boys! We are very careful and picky with dog sitters, but once we met Kremena, all our doubts disappeared! I even said once to my husband that she takes better care of them than we do😄 Our boys are very spoiled and have millions routines per day, and Kremena follows all of them carefully and sends updates daily. One of our boys is scared to walk on the floors, she even let us put rugs all over her place! She is very kind, caring and responsible. We’ve already left our boys with Kremena twice for couple of weeks while we were away and I wouldn’t trust them to anybody else! And even afterwards, she’s still checking up on them! Thank you Kremena for your love for my boys!
I’ve been using Pets Kingdom services for over a year now. My dog stayed there for a daycare as well as boarding. Kremena is extremely professional, reliable and caring. She takes an individual approach and has a great relationship with pets. I can’t recommend Pets Kingdom enough. It will always be my first choice
We could not be more grateful for Kremena and this service. We have a very anxious basset hound but he loves coming to Kremena so much, and very comfortable with her. We are always so reassured when he’s with her. She’s professional, responsive, and always sends updates on our little man. Highly recommend this service!
Kremena is truly amazing with our little doggy and we’re so grateful at how flexible she is. It feels so good that our dog is super excited whenever we drop him off with Kremena and he has the best time! Would totally recommend her.
I have used Pets Kingdom for boarding my dog when I go away. Kremena is absolutely amazing - she is one of the few people that I trust 100% with my pup. She is extremely responsible, reliable and you see how much she absolutely loves animals. I know Kremena because she used to walk my last dogs years ago, which is why I still use her now for boarding. I only wish she offered daily pet care close to where I live!! I always refer everyone with dogs to Kremena and Pets Kingdom!! My dog has a blast and never wants to leave!!
Kremena is absolutely amazing. Everyone in the neighborhood loves her and Lola loves boarding with her. I trust Kremena enormously and would highly recommend her to anyone. I always know that my Lola is in good hands when she is with her x
Kremena is an absolute godsend! We all adore her and Bowie loves boarding with her. I trust Kremena wholeheartedly and would highly recommend to anyone. Also she takes THE best dog photos ever! 5*
Kremena was great with our cat. She came to our house and managed to build great relationship with him. I could tell she is enjoying the time with him and that she is genuinely trying to entertain him. She was reliable, quick to reply, very organized and structured. She sent me tons of lovely pictures everyday! Will be using the services again for sure!
I am so lucky that I found Kremena. Words cannot describe how great she is with my dogs. I leave them there with not a worry in the world, they’re always happy to see her and they come home exhausted from all the fun. As a first time dog owner, I can and will always put my trust in Kremena when it comes to my dogs. Keep up the good work, you’re awesome and deserve all the stars I can give you. X
Christi took amazing care of Teddy! She even sent photos every single day. It gave me so much peace while I was away knowing she was well taken care of. I highly recommend!
Christi is an outstanding dog sitter! She’s incredibly professional and took excellent care of our dog while we were away. Her daily photo updates were a delightful touch that kept us connected. We will definitely rely on her services for our next vacation and highly recommend her to friends and family.
We are very pleased to have found Christi and felt reassured that our small dog was in such safe hands while we were away. We really enjoyed the daily updates and photos that Christi sent. It was lovely to see our dog getting on so well with Pep, Christi’s own dog. Really good to find someone who specialises in small dogs and we would definitely go to Christi again.
Exceptional service! Christi is the most caring person we’ve met. She’s been looking after our little dog extremely well, while keeping us informed daily. I could not recommend her services enough!
Christi is great and Nina loves her and Pep. She is really spoiled and enjoys the morning walks together in the park. Always happy to be dropped at Christi's for playtime and cuddles. Highly recommended
Ruby Tuesday goes to Christi two days a week and absolutely loves it. She plays so well with Pep and is so excited when she gets there. I feel blessed to have found a home from home for Ruby while I’m at work. I give this high recommendation with no hesitation ❤️🙏🐾 …
Christi has been a godsend for us. We just relocated back to London and I desperately needed daycare for my two pugs. Christi was super responsive and helpful. She was punctual and was so attentive and caring with the Boys during the day. We all love her and her little shi trzu Pep! I highly recommend her and am so happy I found her!
I had never been happy at the thought of putting my dog, Toby, into kennels, so I was delighted when I was recommended by a friend of Christi’s small dog service. We arranged for Toby and Christi to meet up. Now Toby regularly stays with Christi when I am away with work. I feel very confident that Toby is well looked after, well exercised and happy during his time with Christi and would have no hesitation recommending Christi to other dog owners.
Highly recommended! It was first time leaving my little chihuahua for such a long time to someone and Small dog daycare was the best choice! Christy is absolutely loving and caring she send me video’s everyday and updates about my dog Archie. She has has an amazing Shitzu, he is the most friendliest dog ive met. Archie absolutely loved staying there! Ive finally found someone to leave my doggy somewhere I can trust. :)
Christi was very helpful She kept my dog very well with lots of company and kept me updated daily My dog looks as if she had an holiday of her which makes me very happy Thanks for the help
Linda took great care of our two 3 month old kittens, Tally and Skye for three weeks. That was the first time we used a cattery and Linda send us daily updates and videos, which helped us to relax on our holiday. We felt at ease the moment we arrived as Linda is very caring and professional. She made the suggestion to swap the scratching post in the room, as one of the kittens chewed already on the carpet after 5 minutes. As they were full of energy, Linda made sure that they had extra playtime in the corridor and gave them extra toys. :-) I can highly recommend the cattery and Linda. We booked already again :-) Thank you for going the extra mile, Linda!
We have 2 kittens just over 5 months Biggie and Mimi. This was our first time using a cattery. We were feeling nervous going away. Linda at Amberlodge was absolutely AMAZING from the first time we met her, she showed us around we could see how much love she has for cats we got such a warm feeling and we knew straight away this is the place we would like them to stay. The cattery was very clean and safe. Biggie and Mimi stayed for a week and Linda sent us video clips and pictures daily which eased our worries and we had a lovely relaxing holiday, we could see how much they were enjoying themselves and they were well looked after. We were worried they may not want to come back home. We are so happy to have found Linda, now we have a wonderful place for our fur babies when we go away. If you are looking for nice warm place for your cats we would highly recommend Linda’s cattery she is brilliant. Thank you again Linda for taking such good care of Biggie and Mimi - Ellie and Dipesh xx 😊
Linda is the best. My cats were well looked after over and above what I expected. My cats were very happy and Linda looked after them as if they were her own. I have used Amberlodge twice now and also have another booking with her next year. I recommend Linda whole heartedly 😻 Thank you Linda xx …
I just wanted to say a massive thank you to Linda. We’ve just picked up our two cats from Amberlodge. They had a fantastic time and were so well looked after. One of them in particular is nervous in most situations - other than at Amberlodge where she is very happy, calm and confident - and that’s all thanks to Linda and her approach and experience. They had a lovely home for the week, clean with lots of space and food and I loved the updates I got while I was away. I can’t recommended Linda highly enough.
Linda took great care of our two cats Sox and Pudd’in whilst we were away for 13 days. Linda helped us to relax knowing that Sox and Pudd’in were in safe hands. Linda gave us regularly updates on how the cats were doing. Would recommend Amberlodge Boarding Catery
Highly recommended, I had very positive experience with Amberlodge Cattery. I was quite worried about our cat Luna , but I was relieved after seeing Linda 's Cattery . The place is clean , calm and very safe , it really provides everything I wanted for my cat. Linda kept me updated daily with videos and photos,and when I went to collect my cat , I could see she was happy and well looked after . I would definitely leave Luna again there . Thank you Linda
Our two cats Oreo and Luna stayed here with Linda at AmberLodge for the first time and we and the cats were not disappointed! Linda is a wonderful host and can see the love she has for cats. Oreo and Luna did not want to leave once we returned from our trip. We are so pleased that we found Linda and are at ease now that we have found a wonderful place/home for our cats to stay at while we are away. Highly recommend Linda and the cattery for any cat owners who are looking for a warm and loving place for their fur babies to stay at! 😽💕😽 Many thanks Linda, Alliya and Bilal x
Our cat stayed here recently and Linda was amazing. It was the first time our cat stayed in a cattery and so we were a bit worried. However, we quickly relaxed as she kept us updated with video and pictures, where we could see him settling in fine. Couldn’t recommend AmberLodge and Linda enough.
We went vacation in this Easter Holiday for a week and kept our cats Leo & kitty in Amber Lodge. Ms Linda looked after our cats and she did very nicely. She informed us and send us WhatsApp photos everyday. Communication was very smooth. Our cats are very healthy. Highly recommended for those who are worried about their cat's boarding. Thank you Linda. Keep your good work up.
Our pair of 7 months old kittens stayed with Linda for a full two weeks when we went away for Easter. It was their first time at a cattery and I was more than anxious, but Linda put me at ease by being the kind, experienced, patient and genuinely cat-loving person that she was. It was apparent that she was someone who truly cared about the well-being of cats. It took a good few days before my stubbornly skeptical kittens settled in and accepted Linda but when I picked them up two weeks later they were perfectly happy and healthy (and have gained weight too!). Thank you for a great first cattery experience. :)
For nearly three years, Steve and the team has provided exceptional care for my dog Milo. His professionalism, reliability, and genuine affection for Milo have been outstanding. Steve handles Milo’s energetic nature with patience and kindness, making every walk and his overnight stays a delight. I highly recommend Steve for anyone seeking a trustworthy and dedicated dog walker.
Steve has been walking my Blue since he was able as a pup and is still doing so 3 years on. He is always available to help and step in at short notice. He and his team provide an honest and loving environment which is most appreciated by Blue and I.
Steve has been walking our Golden retriever twice a week for the last few months and have to say has been fantastic. He has a great calm demeanour with the dogs and they really respond well to him. Our dog initially was very frightened to get into the car, after a few weeks with Steve he absolutely loves it now. Our only regret is that we did not find him sooner - cant recommend him and his team highly enough!
Steve is a great dog walker and our two dogs cannot wait for their weekly outing with him. Every Wednesday morning they plonk themselves by the door at least one hour before he is due, keenly watching out for his arrival. Steve is very reliable and professional and on a number of occasions he has helped us out with our dogs at short notice. I am grateful to Steve and happy to highly recommend him to others.
Steve has been walking our spaniel, Olive, for over three years, and we couldn't do without him. He's always reliable and thankfully flexible. He provides us with peace of mind when we have to leave her for the day, knowing she'll be pleased to see him and enjoy her walk. He continually demonstrates his experience and is good value.
Steve is terrific with our 2 older dogs. He walks them a few times a weeks and is very reliable and flexible if our schedule changes, even last minute. He's such a lovely person and our dogs love him!
Steve has looked after our 2 spaniels a number of times, and they both love him. He loves dogs and is very patient with them. We’ve had to ask him for help at very short notice and he’s always very responsive and eager to help. Thank you very much!
We have been using Steve for almost 3 years now. I would highly recommend him. My dog Bailey loves him & can't wait to go out for his daily walks. We have also gotten Steve to Dogsit for us. He is trustworthy, reliable & accommodating. So happy we found Steve.
Steven is reliable and trustworthy. He has looked after our dog since she was a puppy and she is now 4 years old. She gets so excited to see him and meets him at the door everyday wagging her tail. Highly recommend.
Steve has been walking our two dogs for over two years. To say that he is regarded by them as part of the family, would not be an overstatement. This has been achieved by Steve's reliability, his calm approach and quiet sense of humour. Both dogs, sit watching the front door in eager anticipation of Steve's arrival, which is met by raucous barking, heard by the entire road. We cannot recommend Steve highly enough.
Lucy has looked after our dog Pickle for 5 years now, walking him and boarding him when we need. She’s been an amazing support for us, she clearly cares and is trustworthy, reliable, knowledgeable and we wouldn’t leave Pickle with anyone else. Highly recommend her services.
To be fair, Lucy is the only dog walker we’ve ever used. So it’s easy to say she’s the best we’ve ever had but will some one so accommodating and easy to work with we just don’t need anyone else. Three years in and the worst issue we’ve ever had was her accidentally taking one of our three leads. Our dog loves her and so do we.
Great service from Lucy and the team. They were able to accommodate our needs as our dog gets anxiety if travelling in a car/van so he couldn’t attend daycare. We were able to agree on a regular walks schedule and that works great for him and us. Thank you!
Lucy and her brilliant team walk my Bulldog Bella every week. I trust them and they do a brilliant job tailoring to her needs. Bella is always looking forward to her walk and tired afterwards.
We have been sending our dog Oscar for the last 4 years to Lucy and the Waggy Tails team for; daycare, boarding and grooming. We all absolutely love the easy pick-ups, drop-offs and attention to detail that the team have, most importantly Oscar loves them too. Thank you Waggy Tails!
My one stop shop for my little dog. She LOVES Lucy. Skips off with her for day care and grooming. She’s a brilliant find for us.
Couldn't do without Lucy and her Waggy Tails walking crew every week. They take amazing individual care of all the dogs and everyone is happy!
Lucy & the Waggy K9 Team are fantastic. Our pup gets collected at 7:30am for a morning of fun; socialising with other dogs, playing in the park and being walked. Lucy is amazing and loves our dog almost as much as we do! We trust her and the team implicitly. Keep up the fantastic work and thanks for all you do.
Lucy has been brilliant with our cocker spaniel pup, and he always comes back tail wagging. Flexible and friendly, WaggyK9Tails have helped us no end since we’ve got back to the office. Highly recommend their services! Cheers :)
I rescued an American Bulldog cross who was only 6 months old about a year ago, she had no training and was a large breed. I needed someone who would help me out in calming her down, training and socialising with other dogs. I knew I was signing up to a difficult and dominant breed so it was never going to be easy to find someone suitable and had the man power/resources while i was at work. I was wrong, I phoned Lucy and straight away was impressed with the professionalism and commitment Lucy showed to Lyra. I can't thank Lucy and the team enough for helping me out and bringing Lyra on so much, she is now 18 months and I'm so happy with the dog and the progress she's made, a lot down to these guys, thanks again x
Very highly recommended. Lawrence provides an excellent service. He sent photos to reassure us that our puppy had settled in happily on his first day of daycare and has a great affinity with the dogs in his care
100% amazing service and most importantly the dogs looked like they loved it. Received regular photos and Laurence was very flexible. He asked all the right questions to ensure my dogs would get the best care whilst with him.
Roots loved his stay with Phileas Dogg Daycare. I was updated on a regular basis which made me miss Roots even more but put my mind at ease knowing he was loving life and in good hands. I’ll be using Philease dogg daycare again for sure.
Johanna walks my Frug Blue 4 days a week and he loves meeting up with his friends for great walks. Johanna sends me pictures of his walks and tells me what he has been upto. I like to see him enjoying himself so the daily updates are appreciated. She is reliable and flexible which is great for us. I would definitely recommend.
Johanna has been our Cat Sitter for almost 3 years, and she is our go to. She takes tremendous care of our cat, and we have always had full trust in her, whenever we give her our keys for our holidays. She does a wonderful job, communicating, providing regular updates, as well as including photos, and we know our cat is in good hands. We would highly recommend her, just as we have to many colleagues and friends in the area.
We have used Johanna for a couple of years now and she is our go to sitter whenever we go away. We fully trust her with our pet and our house. She updates us while away with photos and goes above and beyond when looking after our pet. Highly recommended.
