Cat Sitters in Staines

If you are like me and treat your dog as part of the family, look no further, Dogsaloud is what you are looking for! We have now boarded our 5 year old Standard Poodle, Abby, with Nilly and Ron for almost 4 years and I have to confess that they are like adoptive parents for our puppy. We go on vacation with absolute peace of mind, knowing that my "little baby" is being taken care of with the same dedication and love that I would give her. She is allowed on the couch, feed exactly what we instruct, taken on nice long walks and most importantly truly cared for. It's so reassuring to know she is in good hands, that now that we live in Belgium we still drive all the way back to UK to leave her at Nilly's care when we go on vacation! Last year we were in China for 3 weeks and I would have not enjoyed myself as much if Abby hadn't been with Nilly & Ron. I seriously can't thank them enough for not only caring for, but also giving our dog a "home away from home"! Thank you Dogsaoud ! ! !

I don’t think I can put into words just how fantastic Dogsaloud is and how much it means to my husband and I to have Nilly and Ron looking after our dog. We came across Dogsaloud by chance after moving to the area and it turned out to be the perfect place for Hazel. She’s been going to Nilly’s for about 3 years now and she absolutely loves it there, she pulls towards Nilly’s door when we walk past and when we drop her off she runs straight upstairs and makes herself comfy on the sofa, not one look back. It’s much more than a boarding place, it has become a second home for Hazel. We love it that she spends her time in a house in the company of people and other dogs and not isolated in a kennel; she goes for nice, long walks, and in fact we found out about a lot of great walking places from Nilly; she’s well looked after and she’s even allowed to sleep in bed UNDER THE COVERS, just like she does at home. Nilly’s been absolutely brilliant from the beginning, very accommodating and very flexible, which is great for two disorganized people like us. She’s helped us out in many, many ways, even taking Hazel to the vet for us when she got injured just before we started work. We really couldn’t ask for anything more, Dogsaloud is excellent!!!

So lucky to have found Lucy. Our 4yr old Havanese Chico is a nervous little rescue who is not keen on some people or other dogs. He has taken to Lucy straight away & her two little dogs Lola & Honey. Lucy keeps us updated often during the day with photos of him enjoying himself so we can leave him with complete peace of mind. We have even booked a holiday which would have been a complete no no a few months back but we know Chico will be well taken care of with Lucy.

Karen E - Teddy has been with Nilly since she was about 10 or 11 months old. I was let down by someone who looked after her and I needed someone to look after her quickly and someone I could trust. My neighbour recommended her to me because her dog also went to Nilly. My dog is a bit unsure of new people, and Nilly was very good at making sure that Teddy wasn't really stressed out by her coming into the house and taking her for a walk without me being there. Believe me, Nilly has been amazing and Teddy loves her. She now looks after Teddy full time which has been a huge relief for me. I don't know what I would do without her. She treats Teddy like her own dog. In fact, she says that Teddy is her dog and that she only goes home at night with me. Very funny and Teddy actually waits for me to take her to Nilly's in the mornings. I also leave her with Nilly and Ron when I go away and I feel so much better because Nilly sends me pictures and makes sure that I don't worry too much about her. I don't know why I even worry about her because she's so happy there, that she takes herself to bed when she's tired. Nilly loves the dogs so much and she looks after them so well. They are totally spoilt but it's great. It makes me happy that Teddy is always looked after and cared for. I really don't want her to go to anyone else. Nilly is the best :)

I thoroughly recommend Nilly, my dog stays with her a couple of days each week, often for longer than this as my husband and I travel with work a lot. My dog really enjoys staying there, and the other dogs are very friendly. My dog is very precious to me and I trust Nilly and her husband Ron to take good care of her.

From the first time we met Melissa and everyone at Barking Mad we have been more than Happy. Our dog Henry loves tham all and when he goes to stay with "Granny & Grandpa" he so excited he never looks back. We never worry while we are away and he always comes home happy and I am sure he has been well looked after and a bit spoiled. Melisa and the local Barking Mad team are simply the best and we would have no worries recommending them to anyone. A&P

Poppy, my dog and I just love Barking Mad! I was very worried leaving Poppy for the first time but Melissa made a perfect choice of host family for her. I receive regular updates and photos of her enjoying her Barking Mad holidays. I am so confident that she is well cared for she is already booked in for two holidays next year! It is obvious to people who know me well, to realise I am extremely attached and bonded with Poppy and I would not be happy to leave her with anyone else but Barking Mad Staines and her wonderful host family.

Barking Mad and Melissa are second to none! She and her team deliver a top class, professional and friendly service. My pet, Barney, has had several holidays with Barking Mad's caring hosts and has enjoyed everyone of them! I would highly recommend Melissa's business to anyone who wants their pet to be well cared for and loved, whilst they enjoy their well earned holiday.

We have been using Barking Mad Middlesex for 2 years now, ever since Harley, our lovely collie/greyhound/saluki mix, joined the family, so he has been on many holidays. Melissa is very efficient and we have total confidence in her and her team. They match up the dog with the perfect families to give Harley a lovey time while we are out working or on holiday. He always comes back looking well cared for and loved. So much more peace of mind than leaving him in kennels - you know someone is taking special care of your special family member!

Melissa is the best thing that has happened to us, we used to take our last dog to kennels, but I was never happy, I knew she was safe, but she seemed very low when she came home. When we got sparky, I saw the Barking mad van and went on the website to see what it was about, I rejoiced that there was an alternative to kennels and registered my interest, Melissa contacted me very quickly and then came around to meet sparky and chat to me, she found we were suitable for home boarding and sparky went for an overnight to see how she got on, she came back, full of beans and happy and Melissa told me that her and the host got on really well, so that was it, after her first holiday, Melissa brought her back and she ran in, wagged her tail at me and ran straight back out and jumped in the car again, she'd had that good a time. Melissa is the perfect person to run barking mad Staines, she is enthusiastic, kind and is totally in love with dogs, if I ever need a last minute booking, she pulls out all the stops for me, bottom line, she really cares that the dogs she places for their holidays are happy and well matched with their host families, I can now go on holiday knowing that Sparky is having as good a time as we are.

Melissa/Barking Mad has been awesome from day one. Barking Mad carefully places your dog with the right sitter, communicates well and is easy to book with. We have used Barking Mad many times, sometimes for up to two months, and have always had great experiences. Our dog is always happy to go with them. It is well worth the price.

We have boarded our Irish Setter Oberon with Barking Mad several times over the last 6 years, before and after Melissa took over the business. We were always delighted with Melissa’s assistance: Oberon had the chance to stay with 3-4 different hosts over the years and always found very careful and kind families who loved him! It is also a bonus that Melissa try to arrange the holidays when the same hosts whenever possible, so there is a real bond building up with the dog! We have always received frequent updates (and this was great for us, in particular when Oberon was hosted while we were away for few weeks on a very remote location!) and never doubted for a moment that Oberon was having a lot of fun all the time. Proof of this is that whenever he sees the Barking Mad van coming to pick him up he jumps around with joy and looks forward to go! He barely says us goodbye! He has been treated by the hosts as a member of the family, as he is for us, and has always come back from his holidays super happy. Using host families is much better then kennels for family dogs and Melissa has always been outstanding at organizing everything, always ready to do the extra mile for us! We would never hesitate to recommend her and actually we already had lot of friends who tried, and fell in love with this amazing service!

I am so glad that Melissa and her fantastic Barking Mad business are here for me and my little shih tzu Monty. Melissa is a delight and Monty is always absolutely thrilled to see her. Melissa has a great connection with dogs and their humans - it's hard not to feel calm and reassured by her. Professional, friendly and caring ensuring that I have complete peace of mind that Monty is well cared for at the home of a host that Melissa has carefully chosen. He loves his holidays with Barking Mad and although I miss him I know he is caring and capable hands with Melissa. She and her hosts are just fab.

Melissa and Barking Mad take wonderful care of our dog, Daisy. I wouldn’t send her anywhere else when we go on holiday. Daisy enjoys her time with her hosts and they usually spoil her with lots of walks. Highly recommend!

What a brilliant service. Melissa was professional, thorough and very warm - and clearly loves dogs! She placed our dog with a truly great host family who looked after Islay as their own, gave her 2 long walks a day and clearly lots of love. She definitely didn't want to come home! Wouldn't hesitate to recommend Melissa and her hosts. Thank you!

My dog Lulu can be a bit tricky and with my wedding coming up, my usual carers won't be available. So I turned to Home From Home Dog Boarding to start building a connection with a capable carer. We were introduced to Monika and Alessandro who turned out to be more than perfect. They have great experience with bigger and stronger dogs. Lulu had a great weekend and I didn't worry once whilst I was away for the weekend. They sent great updates and took Lulu out for day trips and were so accommodating when plans changed and I needed to pick her up later than planned. She had a great time and is already booked in for more holidays and I can know that I can focus on my wedding next year and not worry about Lulu enjoying herself as well!

We have used home from boarding twice now and both times they have been excellent. We have you two different carers for our dog Skye and both times they have been brilliant! Keeping us updated with messages and photos both times. This is a great peace of mind that your dog is safe and in great hands. Please pass on our thanks to Maddie for all her efforts on the last stay. Thanks again home from home boarding

Ive used Home from Home dog boarding for years now and can honestly say they are the best. The usual carer they went to wasn’t available so they stayed with Natalie and her husband H. Such a lovely couple, who adore dogs and have lots of experience. I got daily updates and went away knowing they’re being looked after. If anything happens to one of them there’s 24 hour support from Home from Home. Staff in the office are so friendly and helpful. Highly recommended

I had a tricky challenge to sort. Having secured a hard won place on a round the world yacht race who could look after my precious pup for months? I found the answer with Home from Home. They were 110% helpful and supportive from the moment I contacted them. The person they found to look after my dog was wonderful and took the very best care of her. All watched over by the Home from Home team. Thank you all for your wonderful service. I highly recommend them.

amazing couple Pam & John looked after my anxious girl. She had such a lovely time she was unsure about coming home!! Thank you for a perfect couple who I woukd trust again.

We cannot thank Home from Home Boarding, and especially Nicola, enough for the amazing care she provided for our 7-month-old dachshund puppy, Remi! This was our first time leaving her, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The company was incredibly efficient and quick to get in touch, making the entire process smooth and stress-free. Knowing that Remi was in the hands of someone who genuinely cared for her and gave her undivided love and attention 24/7 was such a relief. Nicola was FANTASTIC! She made us feel so comfortable from the start and kept us updated with the most lovely ‘pupdates’ that brightened our days while we were away. It was clear how much Nicola cared for Remi, and it gave us complete peace of mind knowing she was in such good hands, if anything Remi has been returned better behaved than when we left! We highly recommend Home from Home Boarding and Nicola to anyone needing a trusted and caring home from home for their furry family member. Thank you so much! 🌟🐾

First time using Home from Home Boarding for my boy. Morris was placed with a lovely couple who treated him like he was there own. This made my holiday worry free knowing he was in safe hands. Will definitely be using again . Thank you Joyce and Dave.

This is the second time Eddie and Vera have looked after Tiago and despite there being a year in between stays he was so excited to see them and return to their home. It is so reassuring for my wife and I to know that he is happy and well cared for by them and we are very grateful that he too had a wonderful holiday! Thank you Eddie and Vera! The Home From Home booking experience is straightforward and easy and we are very happy that it provided us with great carers for our dog.

Excellent, efficient and friendly service from Home from Home. The lady they found for us (Pat) is delightful. So lovely with our dogs and has a beautiful garden which they loved. Can highly recommend, thank you.

We visited the family first before committing to the booking, and that made us confident our dog would be in safe hands and well looked after. We delivered the dog with all the bedding, food, toys, meds, treats. And when we collected her after the boarding, it's clear there was an affectionate bond between the dog and the family (both ways). She was very well cared for, and I'd say she had a fantastic time. Wendy send us a few photos over WhatsApp too — lovely to see. Will be booking again next year.

Penny came to visit and play with our cat whilst we were away for 4 days. We couldn’t recommend her enough. She was extremely professional, always punctual & went above and beyond to make sure Neva was happy, including doing some tasks we hadn’t initially agreed (feeding etc.). She also shared updates on each visit and really made sure that we knew Neva was in good hands! Thanks very much x

I’ve yet to see an animal that doesn’t love Penny! Both my dog and cat ADORE her! 🐾 She has a lovely balance of being kind, caring and soppy and responsible, strong and firm if needed! 🐾 I have a large, wilful, very strong dog and I trust Penny implicitly to walk her without any concerns - you might have some competition for your animals’ affections.

Never, ever have I seen my dog so happy as he is spending time here.

Bright Days/Andy is a passionate dog walker , he takes my dog once a week and she runs out to greet him with a wagging tail and big lick , Andy makes sure she has a great walk as the dogs are well matched with other dogs on the walk. She does get muddy, but it’s worth it, because she loves it so much! I get pics/videos and the dogs have plenty of exercise in the countryside! My cockapoo always comes home tired and happy! Andy is equipped with treats, balls, and first aid to deal with any situation and he has even delivered homemade dog biscuits at Christmas which was a lovely surprise.

Andy has been walking my two dogs, 5 days a week for a couple of years now, he is very reliable and my dogs love him. I am confident my dogs are safe with Andy as well as getting a good walk at a variety of locations. I have a mud lover, Andy always hoses him down and dries him off with a towel I leave out. I would highly recommend Bright Days dog care.

Andy has a calm, caring personality and loves dogs. Our dog, who is selective in who she bonds with, absolutely adores Andy and his family.

Very good dog care my dogs love going to see andy he is with out a doubt a dog whisperer has a caring attitude to all dogs and reassures owners when you leave your pets with him would reccomend his dog day care

We’ve been very impressed right from our first contact with Home from Home. Martin and Emily were very responsive and thorough when dealing with our registration and first booking. They were able to find a carer who’s experienced with our breed, which was very important to us. We couldn’t have asked for a more wonderful carer! She sent us regular ‘pupdates’ and we were able to enjoy our break safe in the knowledge that our dog was having a lovely holiday too! We won’t hesitate to use the service again - very highly recommended!

We tried Happy Tails and Trails for our dog Honey when she had pups. Happy Tails and Trails took Honey out for walks to give her a break from the pups but also made puppy visits for us once they were self-sufficient too. They built up Honey's walks gradually so that she wasn't away from them for too long at first and they have since (bravely!) taken on the daytime walking of the two pups we have kept too - quite a handful all in all! The level of service we get clearly displays a real affection for dogs and that is very much reciprocated by our dogs too - they really enjoy their trips out and really seem to benefit from the variety of locations used by Happy Tails and Trails. We are delighted with the care our dogs receive and have already recommended them to friends and colleagues.

Happy Tails and Trails in Chertsey are brilliant with my pup and if your looking for dog walking services then I would recommend giving them a call :-)

Great service and very reliable!
