We were very satisfied with Denis and his care of our two dogs. This was our first experience with this way of pet sitting and we were very happy with how it went. Denis was easy to communicate with and we felt comfortable with leaving our dogs and house in his care for a full week. Our dogs are energetic and Denis was very much in tune with their needs and able to keep them entertained yet comfortable in his company. Denis kept us up to date with frequent videos and photos and messages of how all was going throughout the week. We would gladly have Denis in our home to mind the house hippos again without hesitation. Denis is a reliable, trustworthy, respectful and responsible house and animal sitter. We are very happy with this service. Bill, Pam, Fiachra and Stronach 🐕🦺🐾🦮🐾
I appreciated Jillian and Christopher making the extra effort to come meet Elsa and learn about her routines before we left. As a dog walker/housesitter, I know how important it is to keep pet owners aware of their animal's wellbeing with daily pictures and updates. My only disappointment with Jillian's care this trip is I would have liked more pictures to see that Elsa was getting outside and exercising. I had to prompt to receive news from home. Upon returning I was pleased to see the house was clean and sheets and towels were laundered. I give them 4 out of 5 stars and wish them well in their future travels/pet sitting.
Excellent - Highly Recommend! We recently had the pleasure of having Abeela take care of our home and Toby the Cat while we were away, and we couldn’t be more pleased with the experience. From the very start, communication was clear, prompt, and reassuring. Abeela took the time to understand Toby’s routines and habits, which gave us great peace of mind. During our time away, she provided regular updates and photos/videos of Toby, which was incredibly fun. It was clear that he was well-loved and in great hands. When we returned home, we found everything in perfect order—clean, tidy, and even better than we had left it. Toby was happy, relaxed, and well cared for. Abeela went above and beyond, taking care of every detail. It’s evident that she takes pride in her housesitting and genuinely cares about the well-being of the pets and homes she looks after. We highly recommend Abeela to anyone in need of a reliable, trustworthy, and caring house sitter. We hope she will return again in the future! Lori and Jim

I can't thank Diane enough for taking my daughters dog out for 2 daily walks a day while she was away, due to my mobility issues I can't manage with a proper dog walk and nothing was too much trouble for her. Bella absolutely loved her and came back each time so happy. Will definitely use again if needed. She even came to meet Bella the day before and ask about any likes/dislikes/concerning Bella. Definitely recommend and can't thank her enough.
Diana "Scranimals" (Licensed Dog Services) was highly recommended to us by Durham County Council as well as K9 Pursuits Dog Day Care and Training Centre. Diana takes GREAT care of our 3 dogs with much love, care and outdoor exercise. Her services are super affordable. Our dogs are medium to large with the largest being a senior dog. They love Diana and look forward to her visits. Diana always keeps us in the loop with how all of our pups behaved during her visits via written notes and/or text messages. We trust her professional assistance and thoroughly endorse her services.
Our two dogs have just come back from an overnight stay with Scranimals as our usual boarding was fully booked. We were a little nervous taking them somewhere new but wouldn't hesitate in taking them back there again. Diana was so warm and friendly and the homely environment had them settled in no time. Diana really takes on board the little personalities of each of the dogs and treats them as her own. Great value for money too! Thank you!!
The most knowledgeable lady I know on so many breeds of animal and simply loves animals too. Lovely lady who will treat your pets like her own. Prices are great value too. Thank you for having our rabbits and pup, they loved their time with you
My dog's love Scranimals for walks and sleepovers. Diana is like the dog whisperer she just has a nack with them. She's very good with my naughty Patterdale terrier.T, Tiny listening to Diana more than me. I wouldn't let my dogs stay anywhere else.
I use Diana’s service a lot for my pup and she loves it , coming home tired and happy. Great service. Diana is warm and friendly.
Much better prices than anywhere else and animals so well taken care of. Such a lovely woman and is so reliable. Extremely professional and would definitely recommend!!!
My dog came home happy and tired from playing all day.
Bit expensive
Brilliant 👍 …
Our Sprocker, Skye, is a very anxious but loving soul and thrives on routine. She has had separation issues since we rescued her at 8months old. Leaving her with others has been a big decision in the past. However, after an overnight stay at Skyecroft last year, we didn't hesitate to book her in for 10days, this year. We collected a happy, contented and yes, excited girl on our return. Photographs have shown Skye bonding and blending in with her band of black- coated buddies! Also, receiving some favoured, individual attention. Thanks to Wendy's prompt, efficient handling of the booking and the care of the whole team, Skye will be making return visits, without any hesitation.🐾
We went away for 12 days. It was our first time leaving our puppy for more than a day since we brought him home. Skyecroft shares photos on their Facebook almost every day of the dogs on their playdates. I really enjoyed being able to see these while we were gone as it gave me reassurance that he was having a nice time while we were away. He looked like he had been really well taken care of upon picking him up and seemed very happy! We will certainly be using Skyecroft again. I also look forward to using their groomer next time he visits as she was away while we were there but seems to do an excellent job
Ted & Lucy recently spent 6 nights at Skyecroft. We were naturally apprehensive as this was the first time we had left them so long. However, when we went to pick them up, both of them were very relaxed and happy and had obviously enjoyed their stay. They were also in immaculate condition. The staff were very pleasant and helpful and the dogs seemed to have taken to them judging by the photos on the website. Highly recommended!
Was a bit wary when we took Monty here for the first time but the staff are very friendly and put me at ease.and Monty was ok to go with them. He has been back a couple of times since and greets them with a tail that's wagging nonstop and seems very happy to see them. They also have a grooming parlour and at the end of your dogs stay you can get them groomed if you want for an extra fee.We had this with Monty and he looked and smelt lovely. They show you around the kennels and where the dogs go walks etc. I Never had any problems and recommend them to all my friends.
Our boys always enjoy there stay here. The come home dry, clean and healthy. When we drop them off the dogs are so excited to be there.
Our boxer dog loves going to Skyecroft and they take very good care of him. They have been so helpful when we had a family bereavement - this situation would have been so much more difficult without them. He also loved his play date with his new friend. It really is lovely to see him pull to go in, so I know he will have an enjoyable day.
Wendy and the staff have just cared for my puppy Millie. A huge thanks for helping her as she is a nervous and quiet dog, hopefully during her next stay she will be more confident. Well done Skycroft.
We had a free dog trial day for Wilson and then had a 7 night stay for Wilson and our cat Doug. The trial day went amazing considering Wilson is quite a hyper young dog, we were over the moon that there was nothing but good things to be said about him which put me at ease for his long stay. When I called to check on them while we were away, I was made to feel comfortable straight away knowing both animals were perfectly safe and happy. The staff at skyecroft have been brilliant with us, including me adding on an extra night very last minute for the stay. We are always welcomed with a smile and they always go into detail about the animals without hesitation even at busier times. I couldn't recommend a place more and the size of the cattery is brilliant as our cat is both indoor/outdoor and he wasn't a bother. We have booked a further 2 weeks this year for the animals as they came back so well behaved and we feel comfortable enough to go away knowing they're getting the best possible care they can! Thankyou everyone at Skyecroft! X
This was my 3 year old Gsd's first stay in a kennels and I was a bit anxious as he can get stressed. But Wendy and the team were so reassuring and complimentary about his behaviour. They clearly have a great rapport with all their 'guests' and i am very happy to used Skyecroft as our go-to Kennels & cattery. Five stars!!!
They are really friendly staff how seem to care about the dogs floki loved it. It didn't change him one bit brilliant
