Elizabeth is very patient with my kitties and sent lots of photos and updates to me. She even tried giving oral medication successfully.
Angel walked into our house and immediately said hello to Billy and Izzy before saying hello to us. That was a good sign, and things got better and better. Angel is an incredibly warm and wonderful being and our pups loved her completely - it was obvious from the lovely video and picture updates but also because when we came home they were totally relaxed and happy as if we hadn’t been away! Izzy normally makes a crying sound when we come back with relief, this time just glad you are home but don’t worry we were happy. We have already asked Angel to sit for us again and she is already called ‘Auntie Angel’ to the dogs. We hope her schedule allows her to return here. We miss her. Do not hesitate - you are blessed if this incredible human comes to sit for you xx
Erin was the most reliable cat and apartment sitter we could have ever dreamed of!!! She was super communicative, gave our cats tons of love, asked all the right questions, and left the place spotless. We received daily photos (and hilarious captions) of our kitties - Erin went above and beyond to make us feel assured that they were getting everything they needed, so we were able to fully relax while away. She also cared for our many houseplants. She's the absolute best!!
We thoroughly enjoyed this sit for many reasons. Firstly, Liberty and Sterling are absolutely delightful pets. Liberty is such a well behaved and happy dog. She was always so excited to go for her walks, she is great on her leash, and she knows and eagerly follows the house rules (such as staying off the couch and beds etc). Sterling is a little doll. He is so fluffy and soft and loves to be pet and brushed. He has such a great interactive personality and just like Liberty is extremely well behaved. Rebekah’s home is gorgeous. Decorated perfectly, it is Urban Chic with a very comfortable guest bed, plush towels, and all of the kitchen appliances you never knew you needed. The building is very upscale with one of the nicest pools we’ve seen in a condo building. The neighbourhood is so full of bars and restaurants you would have to be there for a year to try them all. Everything you need is walking accessible, Rebekeh was very responsive also with any question we had answered quickly and thoroughly. We can’t say too many good things about our experience here, we loved it and hope to come back!
We had such a great time with Amos in Lincoln, CA. Joe and Frima are so welcoming and made us feel right at home. Their home is located in a 55+ community with golf courses, lodges, gyms, pools, etc. You quickly understand why so many people love living there. There home is very nice and comfortable. Amos is awesome!!! Love that dog! He is very well-behaved and just a great dog. He always wanted to be near us. We had a lot of fun on our daily walks. There are many miles of walking trails in the community. We had our favorites. This is definitely a 5-STAR sit. If you have the opportunity to sit for Joe, Frima and Amos, you definitely should. Thanks so much!!
We had a wonderful stay Kateys place in Balham looking after Princess Poppy! It was a lovely area that felt incredibly safe and Katey was faultless with instructions and communication. Poppy was an absolute doll and the sweetest and easiest company, we will miss having her around. We would definitely recommend this sit.

Gemma was recommended to us and we cannot praise her highly enough. She is extremely professional but very caring and attentive of what outcomes you are after for your doggy. Frank our cockapoo was only 8 months old and although very loving and cute was beginning to take over our lives. Gemma took us back to basics and the importance of establishing structure and consistency. What we particularly liked about Gemma was how much she cared and how she took the time to fully understand what the issues were that we were particularly concerned about Franks behaviour. It is a constant WiP but so much better than where we were. We would highly recommend Gemma. Thank you Gemma
Gemma and her family are absolutely amazing with Fred my GSP (now renamed Sir Frederick). They did everything to settle him when we were on holiday with daily updates, photos and videos and Fred loves going for doggy day care to run around and snooze with his new bestie Harry. Completely recommend them as they love all the dogs and they become part of the family. They have lots of fun and cuddles, the best care possible.
I can’t imagine our puppy journey without Gemma. Before we’d even brought Ezra home Gemma had invested so much time into him as one of her doggy clients, supplying us with invaluable information and advice for bringing Ezra home. Since Ezra has started day care with her, that has only continued - and from her lovely family too. They all create a real home from home experience for your pup. Gemma is very conscientious when structuring her day with the dogs she has in, dividing her time & attention to ensure each dogs individual needs are met. Ezra is often one of the youngest amongst Gemma’s doggy clients and she’s been great at allocating time to him and his training - which she has also helped us massively with. Not only is her knowledge impressive, her dedication and passion to teaching this to others is something you really won’t find anywhere else. Harry & Co is so much more than a dog sitting service, you’ll feel absolutely zero guilt about leaving your pup there, just total reassurance that they’re happy in a safe, fun environment. Gemma keeps us updated via photos & videos throughout the day so we’re not missing a thing and can feel totally in the loop about his day. I can’t emphasise enough how pleased we are to have found Harry & Co!
Great method of training. Definitely helping my unruly Welsh Terrier. Lots of support from Gemma and seeing a positive change in behaviour!
I contacted Gemma initially as a day care option for my dog, Gus, but it became apparent that he had some issues with separation anxiety and Gemma recommended he would benefit from her behaviour training services. From the first consultation, Gemma demonstrated incredible knowledge and professionalism. Gus responded really well to her approach — it was clear that Gemma genuinely cared about his well-being and was dedicated to helping us succeed. I noticed a huge improvement after only a few days of implementing her techniques and Gus was so much more settled and relaxed in the house. I hadn't realised that before when I thought he was settled, he was still very alert to his surroundings and my movements, and not getting the proper rest he needed, which was resulting in undesirable behaviours - mouthing, attention-seeking, and destructive behaviour. Throughout the process, Gemma was, and still is, always available for follow-up questions, and has been extremely supportive. Overall, I highly recommend Gemma to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, compassionate, and effective dog behaviourist!
Absolutely brilliant! We have had Rocko since 8 weeks and Gemma's tips/ongoing advice for us novice pup owners has been class, and constant too - always on the end of a WhatsApp when the going gets tough to calm things down. As I said to Gemma just before writing this, I rarely do the 110% thing since of course 100% is the maximum for anything, but if I could rate Gemma and Harry & Co 6*, I would!!!
We can’t thank Gemma enough for caring for Bruce, our 3year old springer spaniel, whilst we were away for a short break.He loved being in a home setting and feeling part of Gemma’s family. We were reassured by the photos and videos Gemma sent to us and impressed by her going the extra mile to set a WhatsApp group up so our whole family got updates. Gemma has also helped us with some behaviour issues. A comprehensive assessment has enabled us to understand Bruce’s needs better and we now know how to respond to ensure a happy and content pet. Thank you Gemma!
Gemma - a huge, huge 'thank you' for your help with Willow and me - my beautiful 8 year old girl has been with me for 8 months after being adopted from the RSPCA. Since working with you for the last few weeks implementing 'the 4 Pillars' - what a difference concluding with a visit to see you last week and her having her best time ever joining Harry for her first lead free adventure and a dip in the river. I know she will be so excited to come and spend the whole day with you later this month. Keep doing what you are doing it is magic stuff - bless you!!
Gemma is brilliant and our pup absolutely LOVES his days with Gemma. We’re always getting updates of him on walks and playing with the other dogs. Not only is she fantastic for doggy day care, but also for doggy listening. We have seen such an improvement in our pup with the hints and tips she gives us. Her home is lovely and perfect layout for dogs, I would highly recommend Harry & Co! X
Gemma & Fran are brilliant… our 2 puppies had such a lovely time, they were cared for amazingly and we couldn’t be happier. Would highly recommend - will definitely be using them again. Thank you soooooo much!
Rachel is a fabulous dog walker. Our dog Evie absolutely loves her and rushes to the door to greet her when she comes to collect her in her fun bus, this from a dog who hates the car. Rachel always posts updates and photos on her social media so you can see the fun that the pooches are having on their walks. You can tell that she genuinely cares for the dogs and has an amazing, patient way with them. A great communicator and reliable. Added bonus that Rachel is an amazing photographer and so you get awesome snaps chucked in as part of the package.
Rachel truly is fantastic! I can't recommend her enough! Not only does she provide professional walks for my dog, but she has also provided professional and really helpful advise. My border collie had some behaviour issues before I started using Rachel. Since then, he has been on regular walks with her and his behaviour has changed massively! With her help we have managed to positively improve my dogs behaviour and obedience. Her support and patience has been amazing!
Rachel is amazing! She walked our Dog from a puppy and he absolutely adores her and it is clear she adores him. He is always waiting at the window for her and is tired out when he comes back. Rachel has also done home visits for our cat and the puppy before he was big enough for group walks. Highly recommend if you want a loyal, reliable, knowledgeable dog walker and pet sitter :)
Highly recommend Pads Pets! Rachel has helped us with our pets for many years from home visits to walks and always gives great advice when we need it. Rachel is 100% trust worthy and genuinely loves and looks after your pets like she would her own. She is 1 in a million and I don't know what we would do without her!
I have known Rachel for many years and she has been a godsend. She is reliable, honest, professional and above all has a love for all living things. My dog, Tegen, has stayed with her many times and loves her so much. We will miss her when she moves to Ripon but I know she will be amazing and successful in her new area.
Pads Pets are fantastic! Rachel has looked after my two boys brilliantly and they adore her. My dogs are big and boisterous but she literally had them eating out of the palm of her hand, calm, considered and obedient. A wonderful dog walker that I trust with more than just my house key x
Rachel has been just brilliant with a our new puppy. From puppy home visits to full group walks with dogs that were right for Monty. Every step of the way, making sure Monty was happy and having fun. Loads of support and guidance for us as well as we were first time dog owners which was so helpful Can’t recommend Rachel enough Bulford, and our loss is certainly Ripon's gain.
5 stars!! I’ve give more if I could. Rachel is amazing with every dog in her care. She has so much control and love for each of them. I wouldn’t go to anyone else. She’s also an amazing person who’s so friendly and knowledgeable.
Have used Pads Pets for over six years and there is no better, more trustworthy Walker. Rachel understands dogs, has empathy for both dogs and people and is so flexible. She just wants what is best for your pet. Sadly she has moved which is our loss down here but Ripon’s gain.
Rachel is a highly motivated, expertly trained dog Walker and therapist. (Some say dog whisperer). But seriously I cant recommend her expertise and excellent approach to how she looks after our loved pooches. Highly recommended and superb prices. Thanks Rach #PadsPets
Best kennels I have ever used. My dog was cared for to the highest of standards , staff are Fabulous can't praise them enough, they clearly love their work and Milo was very happy there. Thank you so much.
Have used wilderbrook kennels for over 10 years looking after our husky ( who sadly we lost earlier this week ) Maya my husky was all ways well looked after by all the staff at wilderbrook and couldn’t recommend them enough. Sometimes she would stay with them for over a month when we were travelling and never given a 2nd thought to dropping her off. Staff are approachable, understanding and happy for a check up message on what’s app or a call.
Wallace loved his stay, could not have asked for more.
My two cats have stayed at The Secret Garden three times now, and I am extremely happy leaving them there. The pens are immaculate, as is the entire cattery. It's very clean, with no smell of cat wee, which I've smelt in other catteries. Nothing is too much trouble for the owners, and I know, without a doubt, my boys are well-cared for. Thank you so much! An excellent cattery, which I would not hesitate to recommend.
It's really reassuring to know your pet will be looked after. The team went above and beyond when they had to take our dog to the vet on a Sunday morning. Even though we were out of the country, they made sure we were kept up to date even though this was all at the last minute. We've used a number of kennels with various pets over the years, but Wilderbrook is one of the best.
This is the first time my dog has been in kennels and I was so worried about him. He stayed for 3 nights and had a lovely time. There was definitely no need to worry and I'll definitely be using the kennels again. Thankyou Wilderbrook .
Very nice friendly place, more than happy leaving my cat in their care when we go on holidays.
Always take our cat here as always has seemed happy with good accommodation with friendly professional staff. Price seems fair, and also has dog kennel options too. Some narrow roads to get there but also fairly easy to find.
We have a year old Weimaraner dog called Rasmus and he loves going to Wilderbrook. He is very well looked after and we can tell by his behavior that he is happy there. Wouldn't go anywhere else.
Excellent groomers. Very kind and approachable.
Julie looked after our dog when we were away for a week on holiday and she did a great job. Dash was made to feel very welcome, immediately befriended Julie and had lots of fun. Julie updated us regularly and shared some photos so we could see what the dogs were up to. I will definitely use Maddie’s Retreat in the future and would highly recommend for a professional and homely stay for your pup!!
Just came back from a week away on a family holiday having never left my dog with anyone other than friends before. It was lovely to see how well settled and looked after he has been at Maddie’s Retreat. I got plenty of updates throughout his stay with pictures showing all the fun he was having. I would not hesitate on recommending Maddie’s Retreat and will certainly use their services again.
We recently used Maddie Retreat for our dog Evie. She had a great time being walked with lots of new doggy friends & being looked after in a lovely home environment. Julie kept us up to date with videos & photo’s during her stay. Julie is very professional, knowledgeable & caring I felt reassured we had left our dog in safe hands. 5⭐️
The best doggie retreat around Knaresborough for sure , home from home care & attention with lots of love thrown in too . My LuLu loves coming to stay with Maddies retreat !
My dog Rufus loves staying here. I feel he is having so much fun snd love getting the updates during his stay. Highly recommend Maddies Retreat. A true home from home.
Maddie's Retreat really is a home from home for our dog. He absolutely loves going to stay with Julie and gets really excited when we mention her name. Julie and her family treat the dogs in there care as if they were their own and they want for nothing. I would highly recommend them.
My little Yorkie loves to go to Julie’s and I feel reassured when she goes there that she will be looked after really well and surrounded by other little dogs. Julie has extensive knowledge of animals and is very committed to her job and looking after other peoples pets making sure they feel at home. She’s very patient with my dog and very careful and aware of safety issues. Highly recommended.
After I lost one of my little dogs and didn't want to put my other one into kennels Julie stepped up for me and took my little dog into her home. She did a check first to make sure she fitted in and after a successful visit i felt comfortable leaving my little dog with her. When I came back from my weekend away it was quite apparent she'd settled in well and was comfortable there. I know she was well looked after and would definitely use Julie again in the future and would recommend her, thanks Julie
Mollie our Cockerpoo recently stayed at Maddies Retreat whilst we were on holiday.Julie took such good care of her & we received regular updates which were lovely to see. Mollie thoroughly enjoyed herself & I would highly recommend Julie for home boarding & daycare.
What amazing doggy boarding. Julie and her team took fantastic care of Dougal whilst we were on holiday. Paddling pools for him in the hot weather and plenty of walks. He was sad to leave after having made so many new doggy friends. The dogs really do just play together and relax together under Julie’s supervision. I was sent regular updates on Dougal which was very reassuring. He was even groomed several times. Fantastic care from someone who clearly adores dogs.
Great hotels, very friendly staff. This was the first time we had used Sutton Grange and our dog Snoopy was well looked after and fed for the whole two weeks and did not have that kennel smell you get when you are in a kennel. I can definitely recommend this place and will definitely be going back again. Thank you Adrian
Very caring and attentive to both of our dogs who have various health issues. We always feel very confident that our dogs will be well looked after and we have been using Sutton Grange for over 14 years now. We wouldn't go anywhere else.
Heated kennels and a very warm welcome. Used Sutton Grange for years and the way the dogs go into kennels here with waggy tails and greet the owners so happily, it's obvious they enjoy the place. Thoroughly recommended- if you can get your pets in - very popular with many regulars.
Great kennels, very friendly staff. This was the first time using Sutton Grange and our dog was well looked after for the week and he didn’t have that kennel smell you get when they’ve been in kennels. We will definitely be using Sutton Grange again.
I don't live locally, but I have been boarding Vito, my labrador, at Sutton Grange for 6 years now. He is always happy at drop off and pick up, which makes the trip worthwhile. Great staff, great location, and acres of fields for exercise. Big thanks to Cindy and the team.
Been taking our dog here for years, our dog loves it, her little tail waggs when we arrive. They take great care with her. The owners are brilliant. Would 100% recommend to anyone
I've taken my dog here for a number of years and Cindy does an excellent job of grooming her. Nowhere better. Highly recommend.
Fantastic Kennels fantastic Staff thank you Kate for looking after the munchkins highly recommended. Great service happy dogs.
Absolutely fantastic kennels. My dog Nelson loves coming here.
Our dog goes there for her holidays and love it. She is all ways created with here name.
It was Charlie and Rodney's first time time staying at Park House Luxury kennels . We got photos of what they where up to which put our minds at ease . The team looked after them really well .we have just booked them in again for June. Thank you Kate and team .
Fantastic caring people who gave our labrador the holiday of her life! It's so good to go on holiday knowing our pooch is safe happy and well cared for. Would recommend without reservation.
We have just picked Bob up from his 2 week holiday and he literally didn’t want to come home🙄. Kate and her team and the facilities are amazing. The dogs (bob) are looked after as individuals, they are treated like royalty. It is worth every penny knowing that he was liked after, safe and happy. I could totally recommend x Thanks Kate & the team.
One word, AMAZING!! Kate and the Team are outstanding and our 4paws loves it there, and them.
Great facilities, indoor kennels, a lovely big field for them to play in. The staff are excellent at communicating, sharing updates, and genuinely care for their visitors. It's always so hard to leave our fur babies, but it's made 100% easier knowing they're in good hands.
Kate, her team and the facilities are second to none! The peace of mind we get from knowing that Ralph (our 12 month old Golden Retriever) is looked after like he was one of Kates own is worth every penny.
20 out of 10 for us and that’s just the dogs review!!! All the girls are fabulous and our dogs are very happy going and coming home…
Fantastic facilities and staff
Absolutely excellent care. Happy dogs.
Brilliant Kennels.
Sarah was brilliant with my 10month old Pointer pup who I left with P-A-W-S for several hours - I received several updates of how he was doing and Sarah made sure additional contact details were attached to him when they went for a walk. Sarah oversaw that he was with other dogs that matched his character type - I think my pup was sad to leave when I picked him up! Would thoroughly recommend.
Had my dog Diesel for the last 3 years with Sarah @ PAWS and we (and he) loves it.
Easy to find, even in the dark at 6:30pm in winter. With floodlights it gives ok light, but would suggest taking a torch and having a light on your dog to easily keep and eye on them. Plenty for the dog to see and do and very secure. Overall well worth the price.
Amazing place. Definitely take wellies for you and a towel for your dog as it's VERY muddy at the moment (winter clearly will be) Great range of equipment for the dogs, completely secure and lots of interesting things for the dogs to explore.
Great time at dog zone we were early birds but enjoyed the quietness archie loved it will be back
Wonderful time for dogs (and children).
Linda is great and really trains the owner to train the dogs - 2 border collie pups in my case. Intensely aware of dog behaviour and really empathetic with both dogs and humans. It is a pleasure for all of us to work with and learn from her. Damien
Linda is a great trainer. Only went once and my dog still does most of what she learnt.
Fantastic knowledgeable lady I'd happily recommend
