We had a thoroughly enjoyable sit and it was a joy to look after Kiwi and Monty. We also had the pleasure of keeping an eye on the horses and chickens. Arabella and Rupert welcomed us into their lovely home and helped with great pre sit communication and provided detailed information on the dogs, horses and chickens and helped with local tips regarding walks, sights and the very good local pub. Kiwi is a star, full of beans and made us smile at every opportunity; he’s still a very young dog and has a few things to learn, but he’s developing very well. We really enjoyed walking him around the fields off lead, as he has yet to learn to walk on the lead without pulling. He’s also very relaxed around the house and will happily sit beside you for extended cuddles & belly rubs. Monty is a wonderful little gentleman and what he lacks in agility, he more than makes up for with his character. His love of cheese is very clear and his speed across the kitchen when he hears the cheese wrapper is impressive. He’s also a very comfortable addition to the sofa at the end of the day, and like Kiwi, appreciates an extended belly rub. The horses were also very easy to look after, all had very good temperaments and presented no problems. The chickens were also easy to look after and would happily follow you back into their run each morning for their feed. A really enjoyable house & pet sit and many thanks for welcoming us into your home.
Jamie and fam were super welcoming and encouraged us to use anything we wanted. Max , their dog was sweet and easy and leash trained. It was a pleasure to walk and hangout with him. Their lizard and fish no trouble at all. We especially enjoyed their jacuzzi and patio. Close to the sound and the ferry to Widby. I’d housesit again anytime.
We really enjoyed our sit in this beautiful Dartmouth home looking after Sadie and Ruby, two very well-behaved, friendly girls. Sarah and Peter gave us a wonderful welcome supper the evening we arrived; Sarah left comprehensive, written information and was quick to respond to texts. The location is perfect for walking and sea-swimming and the dogs really are great companions. We hope to return!
I’m so glad this was my first TH sit, Jenny and Franklin were both such sweet dogs. They were cuddly and quiet and very easy to walk and feed. Emily and Joe were kind and communicative throughout the process, and their home was lovely!
I had a lovely time looking after Candy in Lucy’s beautiful home! A great location to be based in Bristol. I spent lots of time in the sunny back garden 🌞 Lucy was easy to contact both before and during the house sit. Candy was super shy at first but we became friends after lots of persuading with treats 😊 she is so easy to look after and loves to be cuddled once she gets to know you!
We loved staying at Katie and Lon's place. Grits and Gumbo were such darling cats. They were very well behaved and easy to care for. Gumbo loves to cuddle and Grits loves to be brushed, and they both love their treats at the end of the day. We were told that they might try to escape the house, but we were able to keep them inside by just being careful with opening and closing the door quickly and securely. The garden is beautiful and the home is right next to a long trail, perfect for long walks and runs. The house is within 5-10 minutes of Port Townsend and 10 minutes from Chimacum. We stayed for a month and found Katie to be very responsive and helpful with any questions we had. She and Lon were very generous and allowed us to enjoy the fresh asparagus in the garden and use their spices when cooking.

The We Love Pets team have been walking my two border terriers for the past 7 years, more recently adding my Whippet puppy to the crew! Over 7 years Claire & her team have got to know my dogs really well, understanding the dogs quirks, especially as they are getting older, adapting especially as their needs have changed. Our current walker has been walking the dogs for a while now, including the whippet baby! The dogs love her she loves & cares for them, they’re always delighted to see her and enjoy their walks. She looks out for their welfare & notices when something is not quite right. More recently we have been using the home boarding services, this is a really welcome service where I don’t want my elderly dogs staying in kennel, I also like the fact that there is someone in the house. I feel I can go away on business or holiday and know that my dogs and home being in safe hands with a totally trustworthy team who keep me up to date with what’s going on at home! We Love Pets offer an incredible personal service with a loving touch for your pets, I would highly recommend them.
There are not many people who are brave enough to look after three boisterous weimaraners, but Claire has welcomed this wholeheartedly! My dogs absolutely love Claire, and can’t wait for their cuddles. She is so attentive to their individual needs, and she spends lots of time with them in the garden and making sure that everything is operating just right. Claire also looks after my house with the dogs in it, rather than us worrying about kennels or having to take them to someone else’s house, which provides us with so much confidence. I have no hesitation recommending Claire to anyone thinking about using her company for dog-sitting and walking services. ❤️
I have been using Claire for quite a while now and she is the most reliable and professional business I’ve ever used! Really struggled to find reliable people in Cirencester. Genuine care towards my dog (who’s a chihuahua and doesn’t always enjoy going out) 100% reliability and lots of care and compassion towards my pooch. Highly recommend :)- Sophie &Bunny 🐾
Great service from WLP Cirencester, they really look after our dog and treat her like they would their own pet, she clearly loves her walks with them. Claire is very flexible to the dogs needs and provides piece of mind that she is being properly cared for.
Claire and her team provide a fantastic service. When I first met Claire back in February, she took the time to get to know me and my family and the needs of our pets. She has tailored her service to meet our needs perfectly. Her and her team have consistently gone above and beyond to ensure our pet is looked after with love and care. I have complete faith and trust and can rest easy knowing that our pet is going to be well looked after. I would highly recommend you reach out to Claire and use her services. A VERY happy customer!
Claire and her team are flexible and very friendly and they are extremely reliable. We are very happy with the service they are providing for our dog Dotty.
Claire is a fab dog walker, takes the time to get to know both the family and their pets. By understanding the needs and requirements of the dogs she’s able to plan and execute wonderful walks either alone of with a buddy. When odd occasions arise and she’s unable to attend, a friendly colleague is always on hand. Never out of the blue as she ensures that the customer has previously met the colleague beforehand. Our collie has grown very fond of her and always looks forward to his next adventure! I would recommend Claire as she is fully insured and background checked. Also for her expertise and walk rate is very competitive.
We would highly recommend Claire if you are looking for someone to look after your cats whilst you are away. Her love of animals shines through and she spends time with you to find out about your pets’ characters and any special needs. It is so reassuring to be able to go away now and know how well our girls are being looked after in their own home, which is so much less stressful than going to a cattery. And it’s great to receive a message from Claire after each visit to reassure us that all is well with them. Thank you so much Claire, we wish we had found you years ago!
We have been using We Love Pets Cirencester for a few years now. I can't recommend them highly enough. They are great. Completely reliable and ensure our pets get their usual pettings as well as food and the basics. When our travel plans changed unexpectedly they were able to add us to their busy schedule. I can trust them with our animals and that is a real compliment .
Claire has such a lovely natural friendly approach with animals. Our dogs love her. Would recommend her 100%
When I met with Melanie last summer to chat about daycare for our puppy, Waffle, I was immediately incredibly impressed as I was a very nervous new puppy mum! Melanie’s love for dogs is so clear to see and she has a wealth of experience. She immediately won my heart and I knew that Waffle would be safe, secure, stimulated and most importantly loved while I’m at work. I was right and Waffle absolutely loves her time with Melanie and her doggy pals! Melanie is just brilliant 🤩 and I recommend her wholeheartedly 💛🐾
Melanie has been looking after my puppy for the last three months and she has been everything I could have wished for and more. My pup comes home tired from a long day of fun, and can’t wait to be back, often not wanting to leave! Having quite an irregular work pattern and sometimes needing short notice care, Melanie has always been so accommodating and flexible which has been invaluable. It is reassuring to know that my pup is getting top quality care and being well socialised. I trust Melanie completely and I am very happy knowing he is being so well looked after. I can’t recommend her highly enough. Thank you Melanie.
Melanie was a God send for me. Having a puppy and a job at the same time is not easy to manage. She made it easy for me. Melanie is kind and professional, and my young puppy Henry has had a great time going to hers. He was super happy to go each day and came home exhausted from a happy day of play each time. I would not hesitate to recommend Melanie to anyone needing happy, fun, professional and caring support for their puppy. Thanks so much Melanie.
Dougal has been going to Melanie's for about 4 years now. He goes for day care once or twice a week and also for his holidays (!) Dougal is always greeted by Melanie with a big smile and he loves to lay on his back and have his tummy tickled when he is dropped off. A day at Melanie's is filled with lovely long walks (even on cold, wet, windy days - that's dedication from Melanie !) cuddles and plenty of playtime. What could be better ! I trust Melanie 100pc. In the last few years when the weather has been unbearably hot during the summer months, Melanie made sure that the dogs were kept safe from the dangers of overheating. Each dog was provided with a cooling coat - and the pooches were even treated to a paddling pool and gazebo in the garden - amazing ! Melanie is just brilliant, the best really. Always reliable, incredibly helpful and very knowledgeable. Nothing is ever too much trouble. We are incredibly lucky to have found her. Dougal comes home exhausted but oh so happy !
I have had Melanie look after My retriever several times and each time, he’s come away happy, tired and content! He got extremely excited each time he caught sight of her and I could not recommend this lady enough. Your loved one and fur baby will thank you from the bottom of its paws 🐾 100% recommend. She is well trained, knowledgeable, professional and safe. Thank you Melanie.
My two lively dogs have stayed with Melanie on a few occasions and have been very happy and most of all had a lot of love and attention. Melanie is very caring and obviously very happy in her work. Looking forward to when we can next have a holiday as well as Ziva and Rascal.
Unreservedly recommended! Friendly, helpful, accommodating. Melanie goes out of her way to help - with advice, when you're in need, to make sure all dogs are safe and very well-cared for.. you name it. My dog is unbelievably happy with our 'best friend' - everything you could hope for; could not ask for more!
Melanie is fantastic! The boys love her so much. It’s so reassuring to know the boys are happy when we go away and Melanie sends regular updates and photos which is hugely appreciated. I’d highly recommend Melanie!
Melanie is a fantastic lady. I don't know what I would do without her. ..I only have to say her name to my dogs and they are at the door looking for her. Crying out for her!! I come home too see they are happy and tired out. Thank you Melanie
Thank you! We just love all our gorgeous pups and they have such fun with their best friends here.
My Lab retriever Milo has been going to spatchsotch kennels for 4 years he loves socialising with the other dogs, Lynn and her team are fabulous, l wouldn't take Milo anywhere else. ❤️
Our two lurchers (Denny and Bailey) love Spatchcock, all the staff are very caring and think about your dogs as individuals. The very large enclosed paddock is brilliant as lurchers love to run at top speed, but can be prone to running off after small furry wildlife, so it's great to know they're not going to escape!! Lots of walks during the day, and meals included. Very happy dogs = very happy owners.
The Kennels are situated in a lovely remote area South some great views. The dog visited for 3 days and she had a really enjoyable time with lots of walks and fun. Since her stay, we've been back to use the training service so we can get some guidance on her behaviour on and off the lead. We spent an hour in the paddock and the dog truly loved it. We knew she enjoyed her stay, because when we got back for the training she was really pleased to see the team. We are looking forward to seeing them all again soon.
My Boys are regular guests at Spatchcock owing to my work commitments and they absolutely love it! I have a terrier type who can be a bit tricky and a chihuahua, so not the most easy going of dogs, but they are both delighted to return every time. The Chihuahua in particular, adores his stays and actually returns a happier dog! I think he finds life at home a bit dull after the fun and entertainment of Spatchcock. Lynne and her staff are just fantastic, they are brilliant at dealing with the differing needs of my dogs in order to keep them happy. Whenever they go to stay, they rush in to say hello to the staff and check out who else is staying. I never have any worries about whether they are comfortable and happy and I would recommend Spatchcock to anyone without hesitation. Thank you Lynne and Co for looking after The Boys so well and we will see you soon!
Brilliant kennels and staff that really treat your dog like their own. We were super worried about our 10 month old Golden Retriever who has separation anxiety and never been to kennels but he spent 3 days for our wedding in the area here and from the videos and updates was absolutely fine. Thanks for taking such good care of our furbaby.
We couldn't be happier with the way Lynne and the team have welcomed our dogs to Spatchcock. It's not been easy to find somewhere we are happy to leave them - but they always come back so happy and tired from their time there! We would highly recommend the excellent Spatchcock Kennels to anyone who was looking for doggy accommodation.
We've used Spatchcock Kennels for many years and our current dog Jessie (chocolate lab) loves the 3 walks a day she gets. The staff all seem to know her so well and are so friendly. Highly recommended.
Happy Well-Run Kennels I have been using Spatchcock Kennels since Lyn and Lee took it over from the previous owners a few years ago. They have made some excellent improvements to the property which is ideally suited for a kennel with the spacious grounds for exercise neatly fenced off for safety. My labrador is a very nervous, easily frightened fellow and I was worried that kennel life might be too stressful for him, but somehow Lyn and Lee have managed to make him think it's his own holiday camp or PGL! They have kept the same supporting staff - always a good sign, and always done their best to accommodate awkward changes of plan. The most important thing is that my dogs (a terrier, lab) always come home happy and well from their stay away.
We have been using Spatchcock kennels for the last couple of years. Our two dogs, Jax and Molly, always come back happy and healthy. Jax isn't good with dogs he doesn't know and has been stressed in previous kennels we have used but he always comes home tail wagging from Spatchcock. Would definitely recommend, the staff are lovely, dogs well exercised and cared for.
We have used the kennels a number of times for our border terrier. She is always happy to go and comes back home for a rest after a great time socialising and walking with the other dogs. The owners sometimes let her sleep in her basket in the office for company while they do their paperwork. Very happy to recommend.
Friendly, reliable and our dog clearly loves to stay as he always runs towards the door to greet the staff! They also send pictures so you know your dog is well and having fun. Would definitely recommend.
Would highly recommend, very clean. No smell or distressed barking as with other places. They even send photos so you are assured you dog is well & happy. Very friendly staff.
I cannot speak highly enough about The Retreat. We had never boarded our dogs before and were apprehensive about doing so. However when we arrived at The Retreat we were immediately put at ease. Ally and Rob met us and showed us around the …
Dixie,and Daisy were obviously very happy spending Xmas at The Retreat, they came home looking great with none of that kennel smell. Highly recommend this lovely family run kennels.
A quick review to say thank you to Alli & Rob for taking such good care of our dog. Our previous kennels closed due to the pandemic and The Retreat couldn't have taken better care of us and the dog in transitioning to a new place. We …
I would have no hesitation in recommending The Retreat! They do a wonderful job of grooming my Westie and she is always so happy to go in to see Rob & Ally. The day care service is brilliant and whilst I’ve not yet used the facility for …
Could not fault this place, lovely well kept and friendly staff. My dog enjoyed her stay, she was able to socialise with other dogs during the day and settled very well on her first visit. Will be using them again and would highly recommend. Sorry I posted the review using my sons account in error! 🤦♀️ …
Fantastic customer service and excellent rapport with the dogs. I took my dog for a very overdue groom today. We were both very anxious due to …
They were absolutely brilliant with our dog. They cleaned him up clipped his nails. He didn't want to come home! Brilliant service. Will definitely use again.
What a lifesaver!! Having been cancelled on last minute on Christmas Eve by our sitter, we had to hunt for a space for our dogs Kevin and Maggie. The Retreat kindly took them on, and I am so pleased they did as they were so well looked …
