Simone and Bram were super nice hosts - very friendly, easy-going and also simply interesting people. We had some good conversations on the night of my arrival and departure and I'd be glad to see them again sometime. The villa in which they live is every bit as beautiful as it looks, and the countryside around it is stunning. Geneva is close, and also some smaller towns in France, where I could do my shopping by bike. The cats and dogs are all super sweet. The cat is very chill and barely needs anything, except some cuddles maybe - which she sometimes seeks and rewards with loud purring. Shepparton is super energetic and very focused on humans. This can be tiring, as I felt guilty when I couldn't give her all the attention she demands, but it was also very nice to have a good-natured companion and a walking and running partner. Lolita might be the happiest and cutest dog I've ever seen... can't say enough good things about her, she just made me happy every time I saw her. All in all, very recommendable place for a house-sit!
I had a fabulous time pet sitting for Trish; 5 stars all around.
Frankie’s house is so lovely, cute, and comfortable! I highly recommend this sit to anyone looking for a relaxing time in Austin. Frankie and I met up briefly before she departed to go over the sit, and she was so friendly and communicative about Fox’s needs and gave me all the info I needed to take care of and enjoy the house. Fox is adorable, goofy, and easy. After she warms up to you, she will quickly become your temporary best friend. She is great on walks and loves to play in the yard… overall this was a very positive, low-key, enjoyable experience. Thanks, Frankie!
This sit was lovely :) Emilie was very clear in her instructions and Luna was an absolute joy to look after. She is quite chatty, which is very cute, and walked over to her play area whenever she wanted to play. She was a fun and chill cat to look after. The house was so nice to stay at, very clean and comfortable and well connected if you want to venture into the city centre. Communication was always straight forward and easy too. Would definetly stay again, thank you guys for a great first experience housesitting on this site :)
Ronnie and Richard are very kind and welcoming. They provided a great detailed welcome pack which helped to ensure the sit went smoothly. The cats are adorable, and Ronnie's description of each of them is spot on :) They were easy to care for, and great to have a cuddle with. The hen is a character, give her some sweetcorn and you've got a friend! Ronnie and Richards lovely home has a beautiful garden which we enjoyed watering each day, and is set in a great location for cycling, and just a short drive to lots of pretty villages. A lovely house sit in rural France.
We had a very comfortable sit at Linda and Harry's home in Southeast Arizona. The night prior to their departure we enjoyed dinner with them and stayed over in their guest room so that we had the time to become familiar with how to care for the horses. Everything was set up to make the daily tasks easy. Their instructions were clear and concise and also detailed in written form. For the duration of the sit we stayed in their very accommodating master suite. Their home is spacious, comfortable and easy to care for. We had everything we needed and more.
It was such a pleasure to spend time with their sweet cuddly dog, Cookie. She is quiet and well behaved, loves her walks, and will let you know when it is time for dinner or a treat. Wizard, Linda's horse, a sweet old guy of 30, and his companion, Slim, were well behaved horses and enjoyed attention and carrot treats. Fuego, the cat pretty much took care of himself. All in all we enjoyed the company and companionship of the animals.
Linda and Harry were a delight to sit for. Communication was easy and questions answered promptly. We would be pleased to be able to sit for them again.

Dora thoroughly enjoys her regular dog daycare visits. What a superb and friendly atmosphere from the very caring and thoughtful daycare staff and facilities. A 100% recommendation for this fabulous facility, and a big thank you to everyone involved.
Dogs Day Care is one of the best decisions I’ve made for my pup! Winnie LOVES attending and is so excited each time she goes. Karen is amazing and is so caring towards every dog there. I was a little anxious when my miniature sausage dog went for the first time at a young age but Karen was very reassuring and sent me regular updates and pictures to let me know Winnie was doing okay. The area of which Dogs Day Care is located is beautiful and there is lots of land for the dogs to go for their daily walk. A life of luxury! I couldn’t recommend Dogs Day Care enough and I wouldn’t send Winnie anywhere else!
My dog absolutely loves going to Dogs Day Care. Fantastic location for the dogs to play - acres of private fields for walkies as well as their own garden to enjoy throughout the day with great facilities doggy sandpit and pool for the summer as well as Indoor areas that are just like being at home. Karen is great with the dogs and my boy always come home tired out and eager to go the next day. Highly recommended Dogs Day Care to anyone!
Our dog Coco has been attending daycare for 5 years now & has loved every session. She jumps out of the car and makes herself straight at home. Karen & Jim treat her like a princess, she enjoys the long walks, paddling pool, playing with her friends, and her favourite bed under the heater in the winter. We would highly recommend this amazing doggy daycare & have done to all our friends who now also attend, keep up the good work!
I highly recommend this doggy day care. Karen and Jim are friendly and welcoming ensuring the doggies are well looked after and tired when you collect them. My Labrador has been going for about 6 years and our recently rescued spaniel has now joined the crew. Both absolutely love running around the fields and playing with the other dogs. Fabulous place.
My Springer Spaniel, Milo, has been with Karen and the team for around five years now. I honestly wouldn't leave him with anyone else. From the moment I met Karen and saw the beautiful land the dogs can enjoy, paddling pool, sand pit and cozy beds, I knew it was the best place for him and that he was in the best hands. Milo loves turning into the drive and cries with excitement the whole way down to Day Care, then snores the whole way home! Thank you so much to the whole team for looking after him so brilliantly, and for tiring out my Dartmoor Beast!
Great location for any dog owner to leave their dog. Dogs day care is set on private land with plenty of room for dogs to run around. My dog loves going to day care & always comes home tired. I wouldn’t go anywhere else! 100% recommend Karen and the team to look after your fur baby!
Very professional set up. The dogs are cared for as if they are their own whilst also not being allowed to just ‘free roam’. They introduce new dogs calmly to the group and restrict numbers for safety of all. Large green site with a controlled dog walk included. Very rural and not a concrete play park like some others locally.
Dudley has been going to Dogs Day Care with Karen ( and Jim) and all his doggy friends, since he was 12 weeks old ( and his predecessor, Dillon, before him) He always leaps out of the car and is delighted to be there. He has lots of walk, games of ball and cuddles and usually doesn’t want to come home! Many are the days when I would happily stay there and send him to work in my place - he definitely has the better deal!
Karen and her team have been looking after Big Norm for a fair few years now, and they do so as if he was their own. He loves it there and always comes home shattered from all the exercise (sometimes muddy too - but that's mostly his own doing!) , but always desperate to go back. It's a fabulous facility, all the dogs are so well looked after and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Dogs Day Care to anyone who asks!
Took great care of our precious dog Freddie and our house for two weeks and we had great communication from start to finish with Running Duck which put us at ease. We were kept up to date with photos and updates which was so lovely. He especially loved his walks and playtime with Glenn, and we could see they had really bonded. They really do look after your pet and home as their own. The house was kept safe, clean and garden watered too which was so appreciated. Don’t hesitate to book Running Duck for your next trip away you and your pets will be very glad you did. Thanks again Glenn and Mandy for everything.
Another brilliant house/dog sit! Thank you so much. We relax so much more knowing our pup is having his own adventures with Jenny and George. They are the perfect house guests and incredibly caring and trustworthy. See you again next year! Xxxxx
Having both retired, we planned a once in a lifetime 6 week trip to Australia, but were very anxious about leaving our pets, particularly our dear dog Barley. Jenny juggled schedules in order to fit around our dates, so that Glenn and Mandy were able to cover the whole of the time. They took excellent care of our home, our cat Chip's, and our precious boy, communicating with us regularly via WhatsApp, attaching pics and videos to reassure us.
Glenn & Mandy were excellent pet sitters. They visited us before our trip to meet us and our two spaniels. While we were away they kept in touch with photos & videos. We returned to two happy dogs who had been very well looked after. We have booked Glenn & Mandy again for next year and Jenny for our autumn trip. Highly recommended.
Instantly took to everyone concerned at the Running Duck Pet Services. Jenny is incredible at communicating and arranging cover, and Glenn and Mandy are fabulous with all our pets. We see the delight when they arrive on our Pugs faces, and it's non stop love, care, attention and frolics from the minute they arrive. We are kept up to date with pictures and communication daily whilst we are away. The Running Ducks are our absolute favourites, and they are now part of the family. All of them are such lovely genuine people. Highly recommend, although don't book them up too much please, as we need them free to cover our pets!!!
We would highly recommend Glen and Mandy. Our English Foxhound is a rescue and can get worried when new people first come to the house, so we were a little apprehensive at someone coming to stay. Glen and Mandy kindly came over one morning before the holiday and in no time Buddy was wagging his tail and Glen was his new best friend. From then on, we felt confident that Buddy would be very happy with them and we were right. Just back from holiday and Buddy has had a great week, with lovely walks, games and being spoilt and is his happy, relaxed self. Thank you for understanding our boy.
Glenn and Mandy looked after our 2 dogs and cat for 10 days. One of our dogs takes medication twice daily so it was important to us to feel comfortable with the people looking after them. Straight away Glenn put us at ease, he discussed everything we would need and reminded us of things we had not even considered, ie informing vets etc. We got daily updates from Mandy, enough to ensure our minds were at ease but timed perfectly so as not to bombard us during our time away. Our plants are in better condition than when we left due to Glenn's green fingers. Cannot recommend them enough, and have already booked next year's holiday!
We recently nipped off for some sun, leaving our two Lardy Labs in the very capable hands of Running Duck. This is our second trip since moving to Wiltshire and because Glenn was already booked, George came up from Dartmoor to attend to their every need 😆 We got regular photos of their hikes and chill out sessions, but we never worry about them when away as we know how much love and attention they are showered with. The house is always clean and tidy on our return, which is an added bonus. We would not hesitate to recommend Running Duck for not only your Fur Babies, but your home too.
This was the first time we had left our 2 year old lab overnight and we were apprehensive, mainly due to her suffering occasional seizures and needing daily meds, but from the start Jenny was great, she put our minds at ease. Communication was clear and responses speedy. Skye warmed to Glenn quickly and we have felt confident in booking a holiday for next year, so thank-you Running duck services, we would highly recommend Glenn & Mandy :)
Another wonderful experience. Able to enjoy a lovely family holiday knowing our home, and most precious family animal members were safe and in good hands. Glen sent us lovely picture updates and kept our entire menagerie happy. Thank you.
