Helon and Nina were excellent home and pet sitters. They arrived two days before our departure which gave us some time for us all to get to know each other before we left. From the start it was obvious that they and our 3 kittens were going to get along just fine. This allowed us to go on our vacation without any worries. While we were away we received messages and photos which was really reassuring. When we returned we could see that our cats had been well cared for. We can fully recommend them as house sitters to anyone wanting there pets and home cared for.
Robert and Emily were two of the best sitters we have had, and we have been on this site for the past 2-3 years with experience with many prior sitters. We have two 80-pound husky/pyrenees mixes, and they took to them very quickly. They were easy to get in touch with, sent us updates and pictures, and left us with a feeling of ease that our loved ones were in good hands during our trip. They left the place cleaner than when they arrived and were very conscientious and caring sitters. We highly recommend them!

The team has been walking my dog for some months now as well as him using their pet taxi service a couple of times. According to my dog I am sacked! He loves his usual walker and is currently training her to his way of thinking. He also thoroughly enjoys time with others when she's not there. They are careful in getting to know your pet and are joyful whatever the weather. They know what they are doing and I would recommend to anyone.
We used your services to help with our big day!! And the lovely Grace who our children are so fond of came to help! Grace was superb! She looked after our children in the day and had them through the night aswell, which took massive pressure from us. We didn’t worry one bit because we knew they were in good hands! Thank you Grace, and thank you Frances for the services you provide! ♥️
Brilliant! Our dog is so excited to see his walkers every time they visit. They send photos of him out and about and are always brilliant at letting us know how he's got on. Highly recommend.
We had Frances look after our children on our wedding day she was amazing with my children and made my wedding day a lot calmer knowing my children were is safe hands. I will definitely be using Frances and her team in the future!
Lovely lady, gave us an update on our pets and cared for them whilst we were away. As well as sheltered accommodation for them they also had outside play in better weather.
Our two dogs have recently started going here for boarding. Our girls are very well looked after and its like home from home. Val is lovely with them and we feel very reassured when they are there. Would highly recommend 🤍🐶🐶🐶
Can't recommend Val enough. Whether it's dog walking, a house visit or day care. Our two dogs absolutely love her and her family and its reassuring to know we have someone we can trust.
Val took absolutely amazing care of my 3 rats whilst I was on holiday. Couldn’t recommend her more!
I see Louise's dogs playing in her back yard quite often. They run around and play together so well. You can just stand there and smile. Most of the time she has same dogs over and over again. I think that says it all. She is someone you can trust. I would highly recommend her.
Louise has cared for our two dogs on numerous occasions and we would highly recommend her services. Louise genuinely cares for the dogs she looks after and they really do become part of her family. The regular photos and updates of our dogs enjoying their long walks and fuss are fantastic to see and very reassuring to know they are happy and safe. Thank you.
After the stress of a previous unreliable dog walker, it has taken a bit of time for me to trust my dog to someone new. Louise has taken time and trouble to get to know our black Lab Retriever, so that she can provide the best care. I'm loving receiving little video clips of our pooch thoroughly enjoying himself whilst out on walks with Louise, even though I am stuck at work ! Would thoroughly recommend.
Family looked after my lab retriever while I went away for a week. Arranged a daily walk with Louise from Stafford My Best Friend - the dog had a blast and I enjoyed my holiday knowing he was in safe hands. Thoroughly recommend 👏 …
This lady who looked after my dog is so good. You can tell straight away that she is very good for what she does because dogs just love her and listen to her. Just like to say thank you and I will be using your services again.
With Bella being a bouncy boistrous bear, i was anxious about her 1st stay away without me. . i had nothing to worry about, louis coped with her very well, and as the days passed Bella learnt how to play in a controlled way with other dogs 😍 i loved all the pup-updates she deffinetely cared for bella as if she was her own. thank you x …
Fantastic service. Thank you so much Louise for all your help with our labradors. Can not reccommend enough. Love recieving pictures & videos of the days adventures. My dogs absolutely love going here.
She went out of her way to help us out today and genuinely cares about dogs and their owners. I am very grateful - thank you so much Louise.
Would definitely use again
Fantastic service.
Lovely and personal doggy day care set up. Daphne (our dog) gets very excited when we drop her off and the photos we get of the day shows how much she loves it there with her dog friends. Vernon runs the business very well, communication is excellent, paperwork is all in check and he ensures that he has the right type of dogs there too - so we have never had any problems in 6 months of sending Daphne there.
Great punctual professionalism delivered with a genuine passion for care and safety for your pup. Vernon provides a fantastic service, which we are regular returning customers of. Vernon has such passion for dog care, which is evident in his knowledge and experience. Our puppy Reggie has felt reassured, relaxed, and grown in such confidence in socialising since attending. We look forward to our daily updates of what our puppy has been up to throughout the day - which is documented in fun lovely photos and commentary in their Service Reports. Very comfortable with leaving our fur baby in his care! It’s his home away from home. He always runs to their door keen to commence his exciting day with his new best friends. Would highly recommend to anyone.
Our pup has been going to daycare twice a week for a number of months now. He gets so excited when he realises he’s going in the mornings and when Vernon arrives to collect him. I can tell he’s in completely safe hands in their care and the experience has honestly been faultless, there’s no where else I would trust sending our pup. He’s really benefited from regularly socialising with other dogs and we can see from the pictures on the daily emailed reports, he has the time of his life there, always has his happy face on. Vernon shows a clear passion for dogs and is highly knowledgeable in providing the best care for them. It’s a home away from home and has exceeded all expectations. Worth every penny!!!
My little Dachshund has been going to Vernon and Jen at Doggy Daycare for a couple of months now and I cannot fault the excellent care that they have provided for her. She settled in straight away and it has helped her social skills and separation anxiety massively! Vernon and Jen have been really accommodating and put my mind at ease straight away, keeping me up to date with how she gets on and I always look forward to the photos and daily reports that they send at the end of the day ☺️. I would fully recommend their care at My Best Friend Daycare, they have been great and my pup is definitely a happy little thing when she gets home from her days spent with them and the other dogs.
Vernon is excellent, I highly recommend My Best Friend Dog Care. Our Labrador loves going out for walks with Vernon and all his doggy friends. We feel very lucky to have found such a diligent and professional person who we can trust to look after our dog. The communication after the walks is brilliant.
My puppy had her first experience of day care with Vernon at My Best Friend last week. Before she went we had a meet and greet session with the opportunity to ask any questions and look at the day care facilities. Vernon is knowledgeable and experienced in dog care and behaviour and made sure our puppy was happy with the other dogs and vice versa. When we left her there last week she was relaxed and happy to stay without a second glance and very relaxed when we picked her up. Vernon sent photos during the day and a little report with more photos the next day. Overall a great experience for us and our puppy. We've booked another session and would highly recommend to other dog owners.
My Dachshund has been going to My Best Friend Burntwood for Daycare for some time but has recently stayed with Vernon and Jen for her “holidays” whilst we were away. She went on lots of walks to different places and loved playing with her doggy pals in their awesome new garden. We got updates and photos everyday so we knew she was in safe hands and we could relax. Safe to say she loved it! (I think she’s missing them today 🤣 ) Thank You Vernon and Jen :)
Vernon clearly has a love and passion for animals. From the moment he met our little pup he was kind and patient (as she can be a little nervous). Her confidence has come on leaps and bounds since going on dog walks with Vernon and her little pals and we know for certain she is in safe hands and having a wonderful time! Couldn’t recommend Vernon highly enough if you want someone to walk or look after your precious pup!
I would highly recommend My Best Friend Dog Care, a very friendly, caring and professional service. Vernon and Jen are so committed and passionate and they really do offer a home from home environment. Our pup Luna can be very nervous but Vernon and Jen have really gone out of their way to ensure Luna feels comfortable, working with Luna at her own pace she has the best time! After only four visits I can really see a huge difference in Luna’s behaviour and positive progress. We are updated with photographs, videos and a fabulous service report at the end of the day which is so lovely to read and is something I look forward to receiving. Vernon and Jen really do go above and beyond all expectations and we are so thankful Luna has been lucky enough to secure a place with them. Thank you Vernon and Jen 😃
Cannot recommend My Best Friend Dog Care Burntwood enough! I was stuck for cover for my pup and Vernon was able to help out last minute with dog walking. An amazing service and so attentive to any of your pups needs. My 10 month old Bulldog suffers with grass allergies and Vernon was fab with making sure this was watched closely and my pup always came home so happy and can really tell good care was taken of her. A service report with photos and info of the service is also sent afterwards every day and was so lovely seeing my pup having fun and just being able to be kept in the loop with their day. 5 stars always ⭐️
5 star service. Michelle and drew looked after my 2 Staffordshire bull terriers, max who is 5 and the craziest dog you will ever meet and his brother rocky who is 3 and has epilepsy. Rocky need full time care and must takes tablet 4 times a day. He had a seizure and they did everything they were ment to and because of there experience and knowledge he recovered great with no issues. They did a fantastic job and gave them both all the love and attention they needed, I can't recommend them both enough.
I am very unhappy with the service provided by Tilly's Tails. I appreciate that I require 12 hours care for my dog however, I was promised that this was something the owner would be able to provide prior to any bookings being made. Sadly when I contacted the company to inform of drop of and pick up times I was informed only one day before our dogs pre booked care that he would not be able to do this anymore and I do not believe that the owner was going to contact me regarding this if I hadn't contacted him first. Fair to say I am very disappointed and would not recommend.
Michelle was amazing, she provided regular updates and Flash made new friends with her gorgeous doggies and he felt right at home. I would highly recommend! 🐕❤ …
Friendly guy very welcoming ,my dog really enjoyed his stay .
The best
Josie & Nigel are the loveliest people. They are so good with our Springer. Meg is always happy to visit & we know she is well looked after. Would highly recommend..
Fantastic service from a fantastic couple - molly is looked after as if she is one of their own - she always comes back a tired happy dog after a big walk and playing with Nige and Josie's own two dogs - it really is a home from home and I would highly recommend Wags to anyone. Their boarding service is brilliant too with regular updates and I wouldn't consider any other option now if we are away. Nigel and Josie have big hearts for all animals and they are so flexible and accommodating and you know your dog is in the very best hands!! Would recommend them to anyone 😊👍 I wanted to add to my previous review from last year - we use Nige and Josie's fantastic day care service 2-3 days a week and it is brilliant. Molly gets soooo excited when they come to collect her and I'm sure she sulks when she has to come home!!!!! She gets a great walk over the chase whatever the weather with her doggie friends and then gets to chill out back at wags HQ!! But I wanted to say a massive thank you to Nige and Josie for their extra care love and TLC with Molly this week after she had an operation last week and had pretty big scar so needed to be careful and take it easy this week - no easy feat with a staffie who,loves to go AWOL on the chase and loves her play fights with Scally!! But they did a fantastic job of keeping her on the lead and she got extra cuddles and fuss - I think she milked it slightly hehe!!! They were as concerned as us about her and I cannot praise and thank them enough for such amazing care - it really is a home from home and I am just so glad they do what they do and that Molly is lucky enough to be part of the Wags gang!!!
Wonderful service and peace of mind that my Yorkie's were in Josie and Nigel's safe hands. Would highly recommend and will be definitely using them again.
Leafields have looked after my dog for weekly day care and occasional boarding for almost 2 years, where they have treated her like one of their own. My dog isn’t the most sociable with other dogs, but Leafields worked with her to match her with a small group of suitable dogs, like they do for all dogs who attend, and she clearly enjoys her time there. Leafields is small enough that you get to know everybody by name and they promote dog cuddles at lunch time, but large enough that they run a very tight ship. The staff and owners at Leafields are clear dog lovers and they create a great environment for the dogs - I would not hesitate in recommending them.
Our two literally can’t wait to get out the car & join in the Leafields fun! Whether day care or boarding, they return home thoroughly worn out & incredibly relaxed. Can’t speak highly enough of the entire team & facilities at Leafields.
The team at Leafields are fantastic. They always look after our dog to the best of their ability. He loves staying there. Our dog has a number of health issues, but the Leafields team always follow our requests and even administer his medication. Thoroughly recommended.
I can't praise Leafields and it's staff enough! My Labrador has come home in excellent condition. He is so toned from the excercise that he has needed. This establishment loves dogs and looks after them with care and all their needs are met. It . You can't get better. The set up is amazing. Definitely 5 stars. Thank you.
Absolutely amazing set up and run by people that absolutely love dogs. If you are looking for somewhere to board your dog for the day or whilst away I can thoroughly recommend Leafields!
We have used Leafields twice now and it’s brilliant. More than enough space for my lab, Monty, to get his exercise during the day and play with other dogs which means he is enjoying himself and getting worn out. Claire takes a proper control of all the dogs and I absolutely trust the set up at the kennels. Oh and if my review isn’t enough to convince you about this place, Monty genuinely seemed gutted when I picked him up! Great kennels.
Very happy we found Leafields. Our little pup has been made very welcome on her days there. Suspect she has more fun playing with all her new friends than she does at home with us.
We are fortunate that we don’t live far away from leafields. Bell joined about 8 months ago. We felt it would be beneficial for her development especially socializing with other dogs, playing, and being away from home. Bell can’t wait to get through the gate and once she sees me packing her lunch box that’s it she out by the car ready to go. We are bells third home being a lockdown purchase that became a reality that doggie need a lot of attention. She is a lovable girl full of Labrador energy and fun. Claire and all the staff at leighfields are caring, loving, and offer a very safe environment for bell with lots of new experiences. Recently we took part in a doggie first aid course by a local vet, this has proved invaluable and what I learnt that day I have shared with other dog owners, on the course we were joined by Claire and her staff, all up to date training that we were very lucky to be able to join. We have just arrived home after four days in a lovely dog friendly hotel in sandsend with Bell. She dined with us every meal in the restaurant, no problem. We met many dogs strolling around Whitby and it was a pleasure to walk with her, I feel leighfields had played a huge part in the bell we have today. Thankyou Claire and staff. X Maggie Pete and bell 🔔
We were slightly apprehensive about leaving our young puppy for the first time whilst we went abroad on holiday but after an initial meeting with Claire I was completely reassured that Merlin would be extremely well cared for. Claire has given so much thought to her provision that she can provide high quality care and supervision for the range of dogs who may be residing at Leafields. Both outdoor and indoor spaces are safe, clean and stimulating or restful. Merlin returned to us after a week a very contented and rather exhausted puppy….a bit like a child going on a school residential! He such a great time with lots of new doggy friends, which is so important for his socialisation too. Thank you to all the Ball family for making him so welcome.
Our old Labrador was a recent visitor for a full groom, the friendly staff coped well with his funny ways and we left happy with a clean and nice smelling dog, yes it was the same dog lol. Will be using Leafields again.
This was the first time we'd ever left Nelly in the care of anyone other than family, the ladies popped in everyday and we would not think twice about having to use them again. I would definitely recommend
Lucy looked after all my pets extremely well. Kept me updated daily with pictures. Would recommend to anyone. All animals in their care come first. Will use again. 5*
Great personal and friendly care of all animals shapes and sizes. I have used these guys for the last 4 years when we go on holiday and their service is perfect. Our animals have always come back happy everytime!
My dog loves visiting and is very spoilt while he stays, we got regular updates on both the dog and rabbits.
Good local pet care.
Hi Wendy, after looking through our records, I don't think you are one of our customers, of you contact me with a reference number if you have one we can address any issue you may have.
Thank you. We live your two!!
Thank you
Took my 2 staffy crosses to hawthorns they had never been in kennels before but the staff gave them 5* treatment would definitely be using them again and I would recommend them to anyone 👍 Diesel and Willow …
Great kennels, left both of our dogs here a few times now either together or separately and they both are well looked after. Definitely recommend
Great kennels well happy with this kennels would recommend to anyone
Managed to book our boy Bailey at short notice. Lovely staff and he seemed very happy when I picked him up. Will use again.
1st time for our dog in kennels whilst we were on holiday so very nervous...he was.looked after really well and looked to of enjoyed himself...this is a definite recommendation!!
Always friendly and reassuring that doggies are looked after we would use anyone else
Lovely people our dog always Happy to go and comes out looking healthy
Looked after my dog well he did smell after but all kennels have the same problem
Great no fuss kennels. My girls love stopping here
Not actually boarded but the dog groomer Julie is delightful and extremely helpful.
We are blown away with the service that we have received form Em at our wedding. She was absolutely fantastic. We used Wellie Walks with Em as a chaperone for our dog Rufus during our wedding in May. The service that we have received from her has been outstanding. She picked Rufus up early, took him on a long walk, bathed him and groomed him, before bringing him to the church so that he could be our ring bearer. She then took him from the church to the venue and kept him occupied all day. She treated Rufus like he was her own dog, and for that we could not be more grateful. A large number of our guests passed comment on how good Em was with Roo, with all of them impressed by her dedication and commitment, and several comments on a 'job well done'. Em's impeccable service meant that Rufus could be a central part of our day, but we did not have to worry about where he was or what mischief he was getting up to, as we were safe in the knowledge that he was in good hands. Em did not leave Rufus' side all day, and she kept such a close eye on him that he couldn't do anything other than behave. We are so grateful for the service that Em provided, and we would not hesitate to recommend her wedding chaperone services to anyone in the future. Thank you Em, you were incredible.
My dog Puddin has been with Em for years and I couldn't think of a better person to look after her! She has dog sat whilst I have been away, walked Pud and comes and picks her up most months to wash 'n' groom her, and oh my does she smell lush when she comes back and oh so shiny!!! I can not recommend this young lady enough to look after your beloved doggo!! 5* service from a 5* friendly, professional, lovely person.
Emma takes both our 6 year old and our puppy, both big dogs and she is amazing with them, they literally sit waiting for Em to arrive and go mental when see her pull up. Our dogs absolutely love her and so do we, Emma has become a friend to us all as she is such a lovely kind natured person who would go to the end of the earth for the dogs she walks. We never worry when she has them, Em is very professional, has all the kit needed and then some! A very safe set up of crates to travel in the van aswel as a camera so she can see they're OK the whole time ❤️ Emma has also been working on our puppy's recall while on walks and helps us with good advice at home too, we'd honestly be lost without her, plus she takes the best photos of our boys! Xx
If you're looking for a new best friend for your pooch look no further than Em. You could not find a more driven, compassionate, caring person to look after your fur babies. She always provides the best service and does so with the biggest smile. The dogs all adore her and when they're with her they have so much fun. You can tell she absolutely loves her job and I can't think of anyone i'd rather have as my pets companion. Keep up the good work Em!
This young lady is a true dog lover in every way. I have a goldendoodle who likes around 3 people in total !! She includes Emma in her 3. Emma bathes and brushes her and she is treated like the princess she is. She comes back looking and smelling amazing and is always happy. Don’t hesitate to go to Emma for walks, dog sitting or bath and brush, I kinder young lady you couldn’t wish to find. Hunni and I love you Emma. Thankyou 💕💕xx
A lovely Girl who really cares for your pets, cats or dogs. Em is so accommodating and will go out of her way to make sure your pet is loved and looked after. You won't find a more caring dog walker on the planet. Thanks Em Jim, Karina, Ciip and Ruby...xxxxx
Em is amazing with our two boys. You can see how much she cares for the dogs she works with and just how much they look forward to their walks!! We would highly reccomend her to anybody looking for professional and dedicated support for their dogs.
Our dog loves Em and we know we are leaving him in the best hands. She's Always reliable and goes above and beyond for her dogs. Would highly recommend to anyone 🙂 …
We have been using Emma for 8 months to walk our 15 month old Cavapoo Jasper. He absolutely loves her,, she makes such a fuss of him when she comes to take him out.She is very reliable and always on time, she messages if she is running late We would highly recommend Emma and trust her completely with Jasper and piece of mind he is being well looked after is a big must for us.
My dogs absolutely adore Emma! She goes above and beyond to help us with them where ever she can. We LOVE watching her stories of the dogs daily adventures as well. Thank you so much ❤
My dogs seem very happy at Oaklands boarding kennels. The team are very accommodating re food and feeding times and were happy to keep me updated on how they were on my first use. I know they have a grooming service although I haven’t used it they did freshen up my boy who was a bit smelly and due a proper groom just after he was in.
Our dogs have just spent 3 weeks here. They appear to have enjoyed their time at Oaklands together. They both look well looked after. Emma and her team have great kennels 🥰 …
Having never left our dogs before, we we're concerned if they would be ok. All the team we met were very friendly and reassuring for both us and pets, they gave us updates with photos throughout their stay, which helped put our mind at ease. Both dogs were booked in for a bath the day before we collected them, they smell lovely, and have a beautiful soft coat, we couldn't be happier, they have clearly been well looked after. Would highly recommend this boarding kennel 5* Thank You!
Can't recommend enough. The dogs love it here ! My boy has lifelong meningitis, but the kennel are very accommodating ensuring his needs are met. I wouldn't trust him anywhere else. Great luxury kennel option, awesome outdoor areas and groom option too. My dogs drag me through the door, they love it here xxxx
Very uneasy about leaving our puppy Mitsy at only 5 months but she had a fabulous stay at Oaklands, kept updated regularly with photos and messages that put our mind at ease, thank you and wouldn’t hesitate to use you again ❤️🐶❤️ …
Our two German Shepard dogs love staying with these fabulous people, they are so well cared for , all the staff are brilliant and really do look after them well . Our youngest dog 50 kg and is quite intimidating , they can even give him a full groom including his nails , that’s impressive. no worry for these guys they just know how to handle him , the staff give full attention to all dogs they look after .would highly recommend Oakland kennels . Your dog will be safe and treated extremely well. A big thank you from us to Oakland for looking after our two babies and giving us piece of mind when in your charge thanks again from Dawn and Charlie x
I left my dog Toby with Oaklands for 10 days whilst we were away on holiday and it has been such a good experience all round. I've had a few negative experiences in other kennels beforehand, so I was a bit worried about leaving him but the staff at Oaklands were genuinely amazing, they settled those worries very quickly with their professionalism and looked after Toby so well. We had a few updates over the time we were away, which was great. He was very happy and healthy when we picked him up yesterday, so it's obvious they've taken very good care of him and given him lots of love & attention. Will definitely be using them again, thank you!
Are German shepherd has been here a few times now she goes in happy and comes out happy we have used other kennels but there is nothing like Oaklands it is just the best
Brilliant facilities and lovely staff both of our dogs enjoy coming here. The kennels are clean and our girls really come home happy and not stressed which makes all the difference especially with one of them having health issues. It is great piece of mind for us as owners knowing they are well looked after I would definitely recommend this boarding kennel.
Trying to get kennelling for an American Bulldog was proving frustrating even though not a banned breed. I contacted Oaklands and arranged to pop over to view the kennels and for the staff to meet Dora ( because she’s aDORAbull) Being a dog handler I am very picky where I leave my dogs. The kennels are spotless, and the facilities are the best I’ve seen. Fantastic secure areas for the dogs to exercise in. I chose the luxury kennel for Dora as she’s a princess…… mainly because they are really big and heated and Dora is a big girl! I was sent an update while I was away after I asked if all was fine. Needless to say she has had a really enjoyable time and I wouldn’t hesitate to leave her there again. She has come home happy and smelling like a baby!!!!! Very friendly staff, superb facilities in spectacular surroundings…… ⭐️
