Keri is brilliant at what she does. Our dogs (who are our babies!) have been for 2 stays and have loved it! This last time they ran in to hers and didn’t give us a second glance! Keri is a great communicator, giving us photos and updates throughout the days the dogs are with her. She’s quick to respond to any queries. More importantly she’s trustworthy and you can see she truly loves dogs! It’s a home from home for our two and we will use her services for years to come.
Very happy that we were recommended by two dog walkers to Sandbarks. Our diva of a dog had a wonderful time over Christmas and we were updated daily with photos and videos of him running around with all his new chums We will be booking again this summer
Kerri is running an excellent Sandbarks dog boarding house. We used her services more than once, and will continue in the future. Our Emma is always happy to stay with Kerri, and returns in excellent condition. We are very impressed with Kerri's high professional standards and her love for the dogs.
Keri is a great dog walker and she loves dogs and knows what they need, as she has her own. My lab loves walking with her pack. Keri walks them whatever the weather and I'd highly recommend her services.
Fantastic experience from start to finish. Could not have asked for a better day care for queenie and prince. Communication was great with pics of walks, play and snooze time. I would recommend to anyone! Thank you
Can’t recommend sand barks enough. Keri made my dog feel so welcome, she gives me regular updates on how my dog is. Great place you can feel at ease knowing your dog is being looked after whilst you’re away.
I can not recommend Keri & Sandbarks Dogs enough, Keri has been looking after our little dog now for several months and he loves his walks, playtime and cuddles. Keri is so knowledgeable and been great with all aspects of care. Thank you Keri
We were lucky to find Keri at the last minute. She was able to board my 11 month old Cavapoo for two weeks and he had the best time! Keri kept us updated regularly with how he was getting along with her pack and the lovely walks he was having with new friends. We would be more than happy for him to stay again.
Milo thoroughly enjoys his group walks with Keri and the Sandbarks dogs. I have great confidence that he will be kept safe during his walks and be in good hands. He's a very young and energetic dog and Keri handles him well. He gets scrummy, healthy treats and a lovely variety of walks.
Keri is a lovely lady who's been taking our Whippuki (whippet/saluki) Tigz out for 2 walks a week for 2 months and also doing some training with her recall and off lead. She is a 1 year old very energetic sighthound who loves to run. And find the dirtiest,muddiest puddles you can see... She loves Keri to bits,and even recognises Keri's voice on the videos she sends me every walk. After her time out with Sandbarks Dogs Tigz is alot more relaxed and tired... She is a big little sister to our 2 little big sisters :- Kookee, (Chug 4 yrs) and Bizkit, (JacChi 16 months) So integrating with other dogs on the walks is also helping with Tiggys socialisation. We definitely recommend Keri for her total professionalism and passion for dogs.
We were staying in the area and wanted to go to a few places with our granddaughter that dogs were not allowed into. So, we found Pooches of Poole and our aussiedoodle went there for 2 full days. She had a great time in a home from home with some great walks with the whole crew. We got updates on how she was and lovely photos too! Thankyou so much, we will definitely use your services next time and highly recommend. 😊
Fantastic all round dog service. Michele is so knowledgeable about all breeds and dog behaviour. I didn't at any stage worry about leaving my dogs in her care for a week. The daily updates and correspondence I couldn't fault. I will definitely be using Pooches of Poole again and would certainly recommend them. Mila and Megi had a great time.
I have been using Pooches of Poole for the past 2 years now and can't fault Michele! She truly cares about your dogs and will go out of her way to ensure that they are looked after. I needed someone for both a daily service, weekend and holiday times and Pooches offers all of this at an incredibly great price! My dogs loves going there so much I never worry about them which is what you need! If you are local or indeed coming to Dorset for a holiday and need someone to look after your pooch then I would look no further!
To let someone look after your pet takes great trust. To allow them to come in to your home to look after your pet is another level of trust! As soon as we met Michele from Pooches of Poole, we knew that we could trust her with both! Not only did she come to the home and look after our cats, twice daily visits to feed and pet them, but she also sent us pictures of our very spoiled little kitties (something that was over and above what she had to do, but something that made us feel happy they were getting attention and safe and well in her capable hands). We now would not go away without knowing if Pooches of Poole could come in and look after the cats!! That trust was instant with Michele and has remained constant over the year that we have known her. The rates are very fair and the level of care and attention beyond fantastic! I can't recommend Pooches of Poole enough!!!
Absolutely brilliant! I can't recommend Michele and her whole family enough. We started sending our fur baby to her from 13 weeks old and from the 2nd visit he recognised where he was going and couldn't wait to get inside. It's literally a home away from home and we are so happy knowing that when our beautiful little dog (now almost 8 months old) is not with us he's being well looked after by people who love him. They are so accommodating and flexible, and provide an excellent service with a variety of walks, games and cuddles. Don't think you'd find anyone better!
Great service, always reliable, but most of all my two doberman babies love walking and staying with Pooches of Poole. Always feel relaxed knowing they're in safe hands, given lots of love, care and attention, just like they are at home. Really happy with the service, would highly recommend.
My two 'nutcase' dogs stayed for the day. They were happy when I picked them up, calm relaxed and enjoyed their walk with Michelle. There are some great places nearby for dog walks which is a bonus. We will happily return because it's great to find someone who genuinely cares.
My little pup loves it here. He's looked after, plays and gives lots of huggles to Michelle. Would I recommend....yes I would.
Thank you for looking after Tilly, she is 16 & we have never been separated, I could see she happy & very well looked after.….fantastic
Couldn't be more pleased with everything, Michelle was brilliant from start to finish, will certainly be using again if in the area.
We have just picked up little Louis from "Teresa's Pet Care Services" after an overnight stay. Teresa is very kind and caring and really adores dogs. Louis was extremely well looked after, he had lots of walks and quality time with Teresa. We would thoroughly recommend in using "Teresa's Pet Care Services" as she gives a 5 star service. We would definitely use "Teresa's Pet Care Services" again in the near future.
Brilliant service. Teresa visited our cat at home while we were away. The little one was obviously well cared for, and Teresa even popped back to make sure things were ok on a day when we'd not booked a visit. Will certainly use again.
Teresa looked after our dogs and they had a wonderful time I don't think our dogs wanted to come home after staying with Teresas pet care. We would recommend her for walking and home stays whilst on holiday.
Excellent, prompt service, my little one is always so happy and excited to see Teresa, highly recommended.
Teresa advised she's no longer offering pet care services
Fab really cares!
Thank you very much for looking after our dog for a week. Our girl had a brilliant time and Nicky was ever so kind with her daily updates: true peace of mind! She truly cares about her dogs and ours certainly had a fantastic holiday with Nicky and her pack! Cannot thank Nicky enough, highly recommended.
Nicky is amazing. She regularly looks after our dog Mavis who absolutely loves being with her. Nicky provides an incredibly reliable and professional service. It's so wonderful being able to go to work and not worry about our dog when she's with her. We would highly recommend Nicky and her Doggy Day Care.
Thank you to Nicky and her Doggy Day Care for looking after our Luna so well. We feel very confident in leaving Luna with Nicky and she provides a well loved, happy and safe environment. The photo updates are fantastic and it’s great to see Luna having so much fun while we are on our holidays. Highly recommended!
I was very impressed with Nicky's level of communication during the trial period and with her interaction with my, and the other dogs, on the trial day. It left me feeling certain that my furbaby will be 100% in good hands.
We quite literally stumbled across Nicky whilst holidaying in the new forest. At very short notice, she was able to complete all of the relevant paperwork and then look after our two labs for the day. Based on the photos Nicky kindly took for us, both dogs settled extremely well and look to have been spoilt rotten. Should we be in the Poole area again then I wouldn't hesitate to use doggy day care again Thanks Paul
Amazing place to have your fur baby's stay.Fantastic,experienced dog carer small or very large including my great Dane boy are lovingly looked after .Will be using again and would not send my boy anywhere else.Thankyou Nicky.
Doggy day care is great they really look after all the animals would highly recommend them .
Great service, Millie absolutely loves it.
Loverly owner who loves her job. Highly recommended
So caring and my dog was extremely happy,what more could you want
Archie thoroughly enjoys his time at Bella’s House and he gets so excited to see Sophia and the other dogs. It’s really nice to know he is in safe hands and Sophia is so kind to him. The updates throughout the day always bring a smile to our face too.
I was naturally a little apprehensive to leave my young dog for the day in someone else’s care but I really needn’t have been. Sophia treats all the dogs she cares for as if they are her own and my dog adores her and comes home both tired and happy after a day of playing and a walk. I receive updates throughout the day too so I can see just how much fun is being had. So grateful to have found Sophia and knowing I have one very happy pooch after a day at Bella’s House. Highly recommend.
My dog went to Bella’s House once or twice a week for over a year. She’d hop out the car without the need for her lead and run full pelt tail wagging to the front door. Both Sophia and her Mum are fantastic. I changed jobs and had to take my dog out of daycare and I was devastated about her not going to Bella’s House anymore! She has had a few boarding since then and despite nearly 6 months passing, she still runs right up to the door. Sophia loves the dogs, the garden is amazing, she is amazing and extremely accommodating. Absolutely recommend wholeheartedly.
We’ve been taking our dog Fred to Bella’s House for a few months now and I have to say it’s the best decision we have ever made! Sophia is absolutely lovely and the environment for the dogs is perfect. Fred always comes back exhausted having spent the whole day playing with his new friends, spending time in the ball pit in the garden or being taken out on a nice walk by Sophia. As an extra little treat, Sophia takes the best pictures of Fred and send them over in a little message with an update of how the day is going. Even at Christmas time, Fred got his own little Christmas present 🥹 100% would recommend Bella’s House and we are very grateful to Sophia for looking after Fred so well! X
Sophia is absolutely amazing, i've used her daycare service multiple times and every time i pick up my dog Poppy she is so happy. You can tell instantly how much Sophia cares and loves every animal that she cares for! The outside sensory garden is perfect for your dogs to play, and learn too. I love receiving updates throughout the day knowing that Poppy is happy and i love all the photos she takes playing and on their walks. I couldn't recommend anyone better to look after my dog!
Bella’s House provides the best service for our pooch. He has many adventures when he goes to stay and they take very good care of him. It’s always tricky to trust other people with your fur baby but I trust Bella’s House 100%.
Could not recomend enough! I left my dog here for the day and he had such a great time. Great Location, lovley house and garden with lots of toys and things for him to do. Sophia is amazing and what she does, will definitely be using again. Thank You x :)
Texted their number but did not reply after giving all the information they have asked me about my dog even after days of waiting. Waste of time.
Val and Kyle have looked after Barney several times and I can thoroughly recommend their care. The dogs are extremely happy and love staying with them. They get long walks and loads of attention. They are welcomed into their house.
Val is an excellent host , she knows exactly how to make your dog happy, and I’m a very anxious and selective when is about my baby Pom. She knew how to keep me company with lots of pictures and videos from my dogs activities, and her daughter is a precious girl, who gives all dogs love and comfort. Thank you so much to have us and we definitely come back again!
Valeria is so accommodating with Lola our cockerpoo. Lola squeaks in the car when we start to drive towards Val’s house and she can’t get through her front door quickly enough! Lola enjoys plenty of walks and cuddles and totally relaxes at her second home. Thank you Val & family xx
Val and her family are amazing! We use both daycare and boarding when needed for our cavapoo which has been great for socialising him. We receive regular photos and videos on how he's getting along and he's always having the best time! All dogs are part of the family when they're with Val and we couldn't ask for more.
Val has looked after both of my poms over the last couple of weeks. I travelled from Cambridge and I am so grateful I found someone so trusting to take care of my dogs Tilly and Nelly. Not only did she look after them she send me regular updates and photos. A lovely lady, I would highly recommend.
Val is wonderful and my Cavapoo loves going to stay with her and her family. We always receive videos and photos on What's App too, which is lovely to see how much fun he's having. I'd recommend Val to everyone.
My dog loves visiting Val. It’s like a little holiday for him getting to play with other dogs while I’m away. I get lots of updates via WhatsApp and it’s clear Val loves her furry friends.
I am so glad I chose Sitter Pet Dog Poole Dog Boarding. My dog was extremely well looked after, she had an absolutely wonderful time as I saw in the videos sent to me during her stay. I would strongly recommend Sitter Pet Dog Poole Dog Boarding as you will have peace of mind that your dog is very happy and being excellently cared for. 10/10!
I highly recommend Val to look after your dog. It was the first time we had used a dog boarder and I was a bit nervous. But our dog had a wonderful time and absolutely loves Val. She clearly loves dog and it really felt home from home. Loved all the video updates really put me at ease. Definitely would recommend.
I can't recommend Val enough. She is super friendly and she loves the doggies. She looked after our mid-sized labradoodle while we went away for a long weekend, and she kept us updated with photos and videos. Our dog looked like she was having a lovely time, which was good to know. We will definitely use Val again next time we need a dog sitter.
