Dog Sitters in Shropshire

Nala stayed at Whitley whilst we got married and it was so lovely to know that she was well taken care of and happy whilst we were away! The pictures and videos are so lovely to see whilst we were away also. 100% would recommend.

Used some time ago as an opportunity to socialise my dog on a half day basis. Was good initially until they began to post about money short fallings in the industry and started to turn away half day dogs to be replaced by full day. With no real explanation apart from a 10 second conversation in the car park amongst other dog parents we were told full days or no longer welcome. I asked about the use of the office for such sensitive conversations only to be told the office is only available for full day or boarding parents. Money over care unfortunately. Have used others since who are amazing!

Amazing service. We took our dog originally to another Kennels when we picked him up he looked scared and not himself. So said we'd never go back. We then came across Whitley and thank God we did !! They're amazing treat your dog as if he was there own, they get looked after so so well and even have doggie socials, so the dogs get to mingle and have fun together. You can also opt to have pictures put on there Facebook page, so whilst you're away, you get to see your pet on holiday too. I cannot recommend this team enough, our dog gets so excited going there and when you pick him up you can see how happy he is, it's Amazing. I cannot thank this team enough keep up the professional and excellent service you can tell the passion, love and care you all put into your jobs. Thank you.

Minnie really enjoyed her stay at Whitley Cross. They are great and send videos most days. I will be taking Minnie there again soon.

Would highly recommend Whitley Crest . Maggie over 13years old & Bonnie over 5 years old have been with the team for over two weeks and I’ve had videos and photos of them looking very happy and contented through out this time . The staff are friendly knowledgeable and caring to all . Nothing was too much trouble . See you soon team Whitley . Definite 5 stars 🌟 from us !

Whiteley Crest were amazing at helping us to have our dog attend our wedding at Rowton Castle. We organised for groomsmen to drop her off and pickup, and they both commented on how nice the kennels were and how happy our dog was around the staff. We've also seen this ourselves when we did a trial run a few months ago. Thanks so much!

Friendly and welcoming staff. Fantastic with our dog and would happily book her in for a stay anytime. Definitely recommend if you are looking for a boarding/day care facility who really care!

What a fabulous stay my doggies have had ❤️ they were happy and well looked after and we loved seeing the photos of them enjoying their social times with the other doggies staying. This is the first time they have ever stayed in kennels and we are more than happy and comfortable to have them stay here again with out a shadow of a doubt. Thank you so much to everyone at Whitley Crest.

Our three cats spent the weekend with Whitely Crest in April. The two younger ones, it was their first time in a cattery, and they took it in their stride. They came home happy and healthy. The oldest cat had stayed before. He came home stressed, and wouldn't eat for the next week, and wasn't himself. This is no way a reflection on the way he was looked after by Whitley. It's just him, I think. He spent a long time there the first time on his own (46 days), and I don't think he coped well. This time, even though he had his brother and sister with him, he doesn't seem to have settled. Luckily, he's now back to his old self.

Have been using these kennels a few times recently for my animals. Always been very happy with their care. But the most recent stay I was mortified that all my animals during their stay had lost an enormous amount of weight and hip ribs and spines were pertruding. Upon contacting the kennels I was accused of not noticing their weight loss before arrival. Anyone else had issues recently with this kennel cattery?

If Google allowed me to give more stars, then we definitely would, 5 is not enough and they deserve more 🤩 K9 Anytime is the pawfect place for our little Jasper, he has the most attentive care and is absolutely worn out by the end of the day, often falling asleep within minutes of being collected 💤 We were recommended K9 Anytime from a friend and I have nothing but praise for all of the friendly and knowledgeable staff who make the job seem completely effortless whilst caring for not just our dog, but all of the dogs that we see on the newly refurbished car park 🤗 Allowing you to visit them without booking is an added bonus, as are the the dog treats, hotel and grooming facilities 🐕‍🦺 We can't wait for the new site to open in 2025 and will continue to tell as many people as we know about the wonderful service that everybody provides; long may they continue, well done to all of you and thank you for everything you do 💖

Benni has been going to K9 since he was a tiny pup and he loves it. The experience and knowledge of the team is evident, along with the facilities, care and attention provided to the fur babies who attend. Benni is a sociable, confident, almost 2 year old, who attends K9 for fun. The extensive range of quality, edible goodies is an added bonus.

Rupert has been attending K9 for almost a year now, and we couldn’t be more grateful to the person who recommended them to us. It’s easily the highlight of his week - he gets so excited as soon as we turn into the lane and he spots the team, who genuinely treat every dog like their own. We have complete peace of mind knowing he’s well cared for, and it’s such a joy to see him living his best dog life through the updates on K9’s socials. Since welcoming a new baby into our family, being able to send Rupert to K9 has been a lifesaver. It eases the “dog parent guilt” knowing he’s getting so much love, attention, and exercise while we adjust to this new chapter. The staff are incredibly knowledgeable and supportive - they’ve provided us with invaluable advice on introducing Rupert to the baby and have been there to help with anything else we’ve needed. We also made the switch to a raw diet for Rupert after speaking with the team about its benefits. He even got to try it out during a daycare session, and the difference it’s made has been amazing - we haven’t looked back since! K9 is truly one of a kind. We can’t recommend them highly enough!

K9 Anytime “Daycare” always gets a better response than “Walkies” or “dinner time”. It’s Hunties favourite place and he loves the interaction and mental stimulation that’s provided. The staff are lovely and gives you peace of mind that they look after them like they are their own. Dog people! The best people.

Defo 5 stars for the K9 team! My 3 dogs have been coming for a few years. Each is treated as an individual. One of my rescues has human issues but she is really happy going here and there have never been any problems. My elderly dog is treated with extra care and respect and given time away from the crowd for a nanny nap. The grooming is excellent and all my dogs are comfortable with various treatments thanks to respectful handling. We also use the hotel every time we go away and are always 100% confident that they are safe, happy and well cared for. The team here is exceptional and all obviously love dogs. Huge respect for Tom and Luke for the vision and team they have created.

Why K9 Anytime? Whether it's overnight stays when you want reassurance that your pooch is being as well looked after and pampered as you are or daycare, where, quite simply, they have the best time just being dogs. You just couldn't ask for more from the K9 Anytime team. My 2 older dogs have grown in confidence and are far more social as well as being fitter since attending daycare.

Highly recommend the services of K9 Anytime. We receive a warm welcome at both drop off and pickup, our dogs shall be using the luxury dog hotel service, again, in the new year and we are confident that our dogs will have an amazing holiday in a secure environment in the care of knowledgeable professionals. Thank you K9.

My rescue dog has been going to K9 Anytime for a couple of years now. He gets excited as soon as we turn into the lane and I know he loves going which gives me peace of mind. The staff are incredible, they give me updates on how he’s been and, after he was neutered, provided training which got him back to walking on a lead without pulling and passing other dogs with ease. It’s now a pleasure to walk him. I wouldn’t take my dog anywhere else.

K9 anytime are always so amazing with my doggy and I trust the staff so much. I have been taking my dog to k9 anytime since he was 10 months old and he is 6 now. Totally reliable and they know how important our dogs are to us. Also knowing every dogs personality individually. Means the world to me and I couldn’t be without them! Thank you so much ❤️

The K9 Anytime are just brilliant. Malfy has loved it there from day one and always has a great time playing with the other dogs. The staff are incredibly knowledgeable and supportive and always take time to be friendly at drop off and pick up. So excited for 2.0 location opening in the new year as well. Thank you for everything you do for Malfy and all the other dogs. Simply couldn’t do dog mom life without you!

We adopted Teddy earlier this year after he had been mistreated in his previous home meaning he has trust and confidence issues that we have been working on. For us, we needed someone who would be able to work with us and Teddy on his basic training while keeping in mind his individual needs and character and thankfully we found Maria. Maria was fantastic from start to finish keeping training informative and most importantly fun for Teddy and us and, with a small group size of only four dogs, we never felt abandoned during sessions. That, along with additional support between training sessions where we could ask any questions we had, however daft they seemed, made such a difference. We still have a lot of work to do, both on ourselves and with Teddy, but this has been a great start of the journey which we will definitely be continuing with Maria in the New Year. We can’t thank Maria enough for all the support so far and definitely recommend her for anyone out there wanting an engaged and fun training programme for them and their dog.

We don’t know what we would do without Maria and Steve, or as our very active springer spaniel Luna ‘Looney Tunes’ knows them as, Aunty Maria and Uncle Steve. We met Maria and Steve at puppy training. We thought it beneficial to start training with Luna as soon as possible. Maria taught us how to train Luna as a puppy but also what was best for her breed, being so active. What we learnt at puppy school, although considered basic commands have been fundamental to us and Luna’s training. Attending puppy school also had the added benefit of Luna being able to socialise with other puppies after class which helped to teach her what was acceptable play. After finishing puppy school, we decided to book Luna into day care. Luna attends day care once a week and absolutely loves it. She gets to play with her friends and spend time with Maria and Steve, people that love her like she was their own. As soon as she comes home, she eats and goes to sleep, very happy. If she misses a week because of holiday, we know it! We also decided Luna would benefit from further advanced training as she loves learning new things and we needed further training on a few things since puppy school, mainly her stays, loose lead walking and gate training. Maria taught us some invaluable tricks that worked for Luna and us. Now we can take Luna for a walk and not the other way round. Luna has also spent a night with her aunt and uncle and she loved that too. Leaving Luna somewhere that is a home from home is such a relief to us. We know when she is with Maria and Steve, she is safe, very well looked after, plays, has cuddles and has other friends there to keep her company. Luna loves cuddles more than treats and knowing that after such a hard day of playing with her friends she gets to snuggle on the sofa between her aunt and uncle with a blanket is what makes Maria and Steve’s doggy services stand out from all the others. We have no hesitation whatsoever dropping Luna off and leaving her with Maria and Steve as we know when we pick her up she will still be one very happy Luna ‘Looney Tunes’.

We have recently discovered Train Me and My Dog and cannot praise it highly enough. We have completed the Teachers Pet 2 course and learnt so much. Maria is a fantastic teacher, taking each dog forward from their own strengths or needs. The sessions were relaxed & fun but also useful. She has also taught us so many breed specific tips which we are using. We regularly use daycare & Ivy really loves going. We are so happy with the standard of care, time & attention given from Steve & Maria. Excellent!!

We were recommended Maria by a friend who was using her services. We initially approached looking for advice on our best approach for our new family member. Maria listened and took time to understand our goals and considered the best options.We enrolled on a puppy training class. The atmosphere was informal but very well coordinated and very successful, we have a puppy that we feel is still very much a puppy but the tools to help her develop as well us develop with her. They also have boarding facilities and day care, both of these we have used and continue to use. The daycare is very good for our pups social skills and we have a family member who is social with other dogs and understands how to interact. Boarding service is very reassuring to use as we know Maria and her Steve treat our little pup with the same love and care as we do. We really cant recommended training me and my dog enough. You and your furry family member will enjoy. Thank you Maria and Steve.

Me and my puppy completed the puppy school course with Steve. The course was very enjoyable, structured lessons delivered in a way that was easy to understand. My pup is also booked in for home boarding for a couple of weeks in August and had her assessment day last week. She had a great time and was exhausted afterwards. Steve and Maria are lovely and it is very clear they have a passion for what they do.

We first came across Maria and Steve at Train Me and My Dog when we were looking for Puppy training classes. The beginner classes were really good and we learnt a lot from Steve on how to start to get our new puppy trained and also how we should act around her to get the best from her. At the end of the six classes we felt much more confident with Toffee (our Jackapoo) and we’re so impressed with Steve and Maria’s obvious love of dogs that we have enrolled for more training on the advanced classes with Maria which we have found to be extremely beneficial. Toffee has also boarded with them whilst we went on holiday for two weeks. We were nervous to leave her anywhere as she was still a puppy but we needn’t have worried as Steve and Maria treated her like she was one of their own dogs and we liked the fact that regular pup dates & photos were put on Facebook - Toffee was clearly enjoying herself. Toffee has also been to socialisation classes with big dogs as we wanted her to be confident with all dogs and this proved to be an excellent way of introducing our new puppy to other dogs of all sizes. Toffee now regularly attends doggy day care and is always very keen to go to Steve or Maria for a fuss on arrival - she clearly loves going and we would have no hesitation in recommending any of their services.

I highly recommend the services and support offered at Train Me and My Dog. Maria and Steve are always so helpful and have provided us with guidance and information which has been invaluable. Our girl always loves going to day care, she looks forward to her visits and sleepovers and is always very happy and content on return. I never have to worry about her whilst I am away as I know she is in such safe hands. The dogs have so much fun, have variety and stimulus throughout the day and are cared for by an exceptionally experienced team. Maria and Steve really know all of the dogs and understand their characters. An outstanding service.

Would always recommend Maria and Steve at Train Me & My Dog, for any doggie needs :-) We originally found them when looking for somewhere for our new Vizsla puppy to have an overnight stay; and have used every service since - training, boarding and daycare. Maria's training is brilliant, and with such a high energy pup, it was definitely worth the investment. They are just fantastic with Cookie, and I am not sure I have ever seen a depressed dog before, but she is every time she comes home!

I would 100% recommend Train Me & My Dog to train take care of your four legged friend. Due to a friends recommendation I first contacted Maria during lockdown as we had become the proud parents of Max a black lab puppy & we wanted to take him through basic training. Joining the online puppy training was the best thing we could have done for Max as not only did he develop his manners we found a fantastic place for him to home board over the summer holidays. He stayed with Maria & Steve for two weeks and he loved it. We included some further training in his stay and he came back to us more socialised and well behaved. Maria even did a video so we could see the techniques used. Max now goes to day care twice a month, not because we need him to but because he enjoys it so much and keeping him more socialised is key to his overall development.

We have used Marie and Steve from day 1 My puppy started off with Maria and puppy school. Excellent training course for my puppy and myself. Learning all the basic skills. Maria takes pride in her job and won't give in until she is happy with the lessons. Cobey passed puppy school no problems. Then we had a fun day with Maria and Steve a group of dogs had a fun packed play day . I have also used Marie and Steve's boarding service. And I must say nothing is to much trouble. It's home from home. No out door Kennels. All in the comfort of there own home. Lots of cuddles and love. This couple are a 100% dedicated to there job. And I will definitely be going back again and again. Thank you both again Such lovley people I can call friends.

Alice and the team have been walking Marley since he was a pup over 4+ years now. They provide an excellent service and Marley always looks forward to his doggy walks.

Alice has made a real go at creating and growing her business. She is a very capable young lady. She has a lovely way with all animals and our Charlie adores her. We have used many of her services, and we have always been more than happy to recommend her to friends. We will often call on Alice for help and advice too, nothing is too much trouble for her. Alice has also started to provide hampers for those special occasions and after the lovey Christmas hamper Charlie can't wait for Easter!

Ali looked after our felines for the summer. No job was too small for her and she took her time to come and get to know the cats before we went away. I felt calm, happy and settled and rightly so, as when we returned the cats were happy and healthy and I had regular updates about how they were and photos to confirm all was well. A really efficient, happy and helpful person. Will be using AJs services again. Thank you so much Ali for all that you did.

Alice has been amazing with my dog who is a rescue. She’s really coming out of her shell. She doesn’t trust strangers but seemed to really warm to Alice quite quickly. Confidence building walks have been amazing for my dog and she’s really thriving from all the work Alice has done with her. Thanks so much.

Alice looked after our beloved cat, Boba whilst we were away. First time having Alice care for Boba. Alice was so caring and professional, ensuring she did a meet & greet before us going away, and noting all information for boba including vets etc. This gave us reassurance she would give the upmost care to Boba. During our trip, she was in regular contact, updates and pictures, Boba took such a like to Alice. Highly recommend and already booked Alice for our next trip

Alice is great with my dog Oscar, he really enjoys his trips out . Alice also takes similar types of dogs out together on each walk, so there is a great walk for everyone ! Very professional, personable and Oscar really happy with her

I have two very precious sausage dogs and Alice understands just how precious they are to me. She knows I prefer them to be socialised with smaller dogs for their backs. She understands their raw feed diet. She's very knowledge about all different dog breeds but she's not pushy with it. She adapts to your routine and whatever is best for your dog she will do. She goes above and beyond for my boys and they love her so much. I wouldn't want anyone else to look after my boys. They love alice and she loves them just as much. Thanks for being you!!!! So reliable, so professional and great service.

Alice has been walking our rescue boy and introducing him teaching him to be sociable with other dogs Freddie adores her and respond very well to her capable handling 10/10 . Her ready smile cheers me up too in these difficult days

Thank you for looking after my grumpy Sphynx Cat. Abbie kept me up to date which reassured me he was fine whilst we were away. I would definately recommend this service

Fabulous peace of mind that our pets are checked on during the day , and our furries clearly love having AJ services during the day .
