Kazim is a charming person, who clearly loves dogs. He is exceptionally self-sufficient & sent me some of the best photos I have ever had of my dog Ricky. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable & mature sitter.
We feel so fortunate to have had Susan care for Loki and our home on several different occasions now. Susan is always reliable, taking time to stop by and chat before we leave for a few instructions about any changes in Loki's behavior or diet. She has a calmness about her that Loki enjoys and we always appreciate the photos she sends or a note about Loki's activities. I know I can depend on her as well to meet any challenge that may unexpectedly come up with an astute and clear-eyed response. We've always enjoyed our conversations with Susan, she is fun & witty and along with a shared love of kayaking she's a strong and capable outdoors person. And what a treat to come home to a clean and tidy home with dishes washed, sheets off the bed, and towels ready to go in the washer. Thank you Susan, for being a part of zeewoi and becoming a friend to us and Loki. Lynn & Fred

My partner made contact 3 weeks ago to book a trial for our beautifully well behaved 21 month, 29kg female Doberman. We were referred to the London office to schedule a trial date. He was informed that they were not accepting large breeds at this time. I had made contact again today to see if this was still the case and if they had availability. Unfortunately, after speaking to the London office I was told the owner has never accepted entry for 'guarding breeds', and that they're not covered by their insurance. Which is strange, when I first researched them I saw guarding breeds on their IG (attached). It's frustrating as you'd expect that a business that supposedly cares for animals would not condemn or have entry restrictions on dogs for any reason other than behavioural issues.
Fabulous place to take your pups! My dogs absolutely LOVE going to see Grace and Paul at Humphrey and Bo, they are so knowledgeable and amazing with them. Couldn’t ask for a better place for my dogs to stay. Thank you!
My boy is a nervous little thing, and needs a slow and careful introduction to new situations. Everyone at H&B took great care of him, and he now loves going there. We’ve even progressed to overnights. The environment is perfect, and staff very caring.
Amazing place, the grounds are wonderful with so much space for your doggies to roam and play , my dogs ( one of which can be nervous) had their third visit and they were so so happy , lovely staff , doggies had a great time , my nervous one was showering staff with kisses when I collected them ❤️ I had no worries when I left them, the most perfect place , highly recommend
My Masha, 6 months old, stayed at Humhrey&Bo one week. It was a great fun for her as I have been sent daily videos and photos. I will definitely use in the future again. Masha is lookin forward to see permanent guest Tia the Frenchie again. Big thanks to Mark.
Very friendly staff and amazing space for dogs to roam. Inside rooms for dogs are well equipped for all dogs taste and nice and warm.
Beautiful grounds, lots of play time and takes good care of dogs.
Amended review. Introductory trial which went well. Follow up with booking. Friendly helpful staff.
Fantastic place for dogs people that run this establishment are so professional and friendly. Highly recommend.
Very friendly staff who do not return emails.
Vicky is a wonderful dog walker. From the moment I met her she was amazing with Bayley, gave him so much attention and listened to all his needs and took everything on board. Started walking him that same week and he was such a happy boy. He now sits every week waiting for Vicky to take him out! There is always pictures to see what he gets up to which is always lovely to see. He comes back clean every time and enjoys being able to socialise with the other furry friends he goes on the walks with. Couldn’t recommend enough!
Vicky has been an amazing find! She has done visits and walks with my two labradors for the last few months when I’ve had long work days. She is flexible and accommodating of my last minute requests and 100% an animal lover. Ludo and Shadow love their walks and visits from Vicky.
Victoria has started walking our 8 year old Labradoodle and 6 month old Cockapoo. They adore her and get some really great walks. Very reliable and flexible. Highly recommend!
We travelled from Shropshire with our very loved dog Barley as we didn't want her not to enjoy our holiday too, but knew there would be days not so dog friendly ie the safari. We'd never done this before where we had someone look after her whilst we were away with her, but Vicky squashed all our worries; Barley loved spending time at Muddy Paws. Vicky really helped us all enjoy our holidays and was flexible where she could be and can't recommend enough to anyone who wants a secure place that they can leave their fur baby. Thank you once again and will 100% be keeping your number stored for when we are down on holiday again 🥰
Vicky is a wonderful person and dog walker! Super accommodating, flexible and reliable. Her communication is spot on too. I really trust her to look after our dog and have no concerns leaving him in her care. Bertie comes back very happy, tired and well looked after!
Vicky has started walking my labrador. He seems to throughly enjoy his walks and I love getting little picture updates from Vicky to put my mind at ease that he is being properly looked after. Vicky has taken him on some lovely walks and he's always so happy when I come home after Vicky has visited him. Highly recommend Vicky!
Our dog Sonic had a amazing little holiday with Vicky!! We were nervous about leaving him however Vicky put our minds at rest and sent us daily updates, photos and videos 😍, amazing service from start to finish, highly recommend!! …
Vicky has been looking after Daisy since May. We liked her instantly and could tell that she liked animals. Daisy enjoys her visits and walks. Vicky has been very reliable and flexible when our needs have changed and responds quickly to our messages. I love seeing a photo of Daisy after Vicky’s visit: We are very happy to recommend Vicky to anyone needing their animal looked after.
Vicky is an absolute gem when it comes to pet sitting! She took care of my beloved Dolly with such warmth and attention that I couldn't have asked for a better experience. From regular walks to playtime and cuddles, Vicky ensured that Dolly felt right at home. What sets Vicky apart is her genuine love for animals, evident in the way she treated Dolly as if she were her own. Not only was she reliable and professional, but she also went above and beyond to accommodate Dolly's needs and quirks. I felt completely at ease knowing that Dolly was in Vicky's capable hands. I highly recommend Vicky to anyone in need of a caring and trustworthy dog sitter!
Very friendly and professional! I would highly recommend Vicky as our dog was very happy and comfortable with her 😊 …
Foggy has just returned from his wonderful Dorset holiday with Julie. He has had two lovely long walks every day and lots of attention - he returned fit and happy and we were able to relax on our holiday knowing that he was being well looked after all the time we were away. Foggy had a lovely space for his bed and we saw some super photos of him looking completely at home. Julie also sent us photos of Foggy out walking in the countryside with his new companions. We are so happy to have found Julie and family of Mucky Boots Dorset. We look forward to seeing you again very soon! Susie & Richard
Marlowe has been having holidays with Julie at Mucky Boots for the past two years. He loves his time with her as it involves long, interesting walks in the countryside or even sometimes at the beach. He also enjoys the company of Barney, Julie's dog and other friendly visitors. The frequent updates with photos of him having fun or just relaxing, reassure us that we're not the only ones on holiday! Julie's love and affection for her doggy visitors shines through. I'm so glad we found her!
Charlie stayed with Julie at Mucky Boots for a week. She had such a lovely time - a real holiday for her and the first time ever that I have been able to relax being away, knowing she was being so well looked after. The daily updates made me think she wouldn't want to come home! So nice for her to have company on walks with other lovely dogs. I would definitely recommend Mucky Boots for anyone looking for professional dog care in beautiful surroundings with someone who so obviously loves dogs.
Our lab retriever Oscar is always looked after superbly by Julie and her husband. They have a lovely comfortable environment for their doggie guests and Oscar comes back from his holiday fit, happy, content and exhausted. Julie cares deeply about every dog and her attention to their needs is wonderful. She also sends photos every couple of days showing your dog enjoying lovely Dorset walkies with furry friends. I can’t recommend Mucky Boots highly enough, we would be lost without them. Thank you Julie x
Such a lovely lady my dog loves it. Julie takes care to introduce dogs slowly and safely, they go on walks, play in the garden and have a happy time. Great she is local authority registered and insured too.
Bertie loves this place - I only have to say that Bertie is going on holiday to see Julie & Barney and he's at the car door without a backward look! He sends photos every other day on his walks with his doggie friends and comes home happy and exhausted. He would recommend Julie to everybody.
My JRT who has a few issues had a fantastic time here. Julie was wonderful she sent pictures during his day and I received a message afterwards to check on how he was once back home.
First time stay for Lenny and really happy with the introduction and communication during our holiday. He had a lovely time and so pleased we found Mucky Boots!
Our dogs can't wait to go there. Well cared for and well exercised
Fantastic service George loves his time out allways comes home cream crackerd.
I recently had a chance to work with Branscombe Kennels & Cattery as one of our dogs is staying at the kennels as a long term resident (although it looks like he found his new home now). And I just want to say that I always found the kennels to be super clean and staff super polite and very friendly. I visited several times and had the chance to see the kennels, the outdoor space and the really handy large enclosed area where I could exercise the doggo without lead and give him some “free play” time. All spotlessly clean. I’d be very happy to leave my own dogs in their care if I ever need to. Nadyia and Steve are both genuine people and it’s always a pleasure to pop in and see them before going the see the doggo. 🐾
We would highly recommend. Good communication and very friendly. I needed a kennel at real late moment and I’m glad I selected this one. On arrival my little man was greeted straightaway and made us feel welcome. Thank you to all the staff for looking after my max.
It was a very great relief to find such a kind and relaxed kennels with staff who are used to sighthounds and are completely at ease with one very nervous and one very boisterous lurcher. Our dogs share a kennel while at Branscombe and are almost certainly as skittish (Scout) and barky (Mole) as they are at home, but the staff recognise that being a bit scared and being a bit too confident are often part and parcel of the personalities of rescue dogs. They are always greeted with kindness and treated very well by all the staff and return home healthy, happy and ready for a return to their sofas (even Branscombe cannot quite run to a sofa per dog, but they do provide beds!) You see all manner of dog turn up at Branscombe, Nadja and Steve are genuine animal lovers - of all kinds - and we never have any worries about leaving our dogs with them. The on-site dog groomer also appears completely bombproof when dealing with their claws and does a great job too. So: many thanks, five stars and see you next holiday!
Our sproker has come back with an infection on his tesicals he was also extremely dirty and smelly after just 2 nights this shows that it is probably not the most cleanly place unfortunately i would not recommend this and wont be returning.
My 2 dogs have been there from puppies. It's a real home from home, welcoming staff, clean kennels, owners fabulous. Always aim to be accomandating. Wish we could collect on a Sunday, but I appreciate why not.
My 6 cata stayed here whilst I was moving house. The cats were well.lpoked after the pens were all clean and tidy. My cats seemed happy when I collected them and looked well looked after. The owners were lovely and I felt like they cared.
Truly the best Kennels out there, Digit and Dolly absolutely love staying here and I wouldn’t want them to stay anywhere else definitely worth the hour drive to drop them off there, all staff so friendly and definitely dog people who take pride in their jobs
Our cocker spaniel stayed for 10 days while we were away. On picking him up he was as happy as when we left him no anxiety issues he was obviously very well looked giving us peace of mind. We highly recommend you. Thanks to all the team
We have been using these kennels for a few years now & can honestly say our dog charlie loves it, he cannot wait to get in there. Staff & owners go above & beyond to make his stay as happy & comfortable as they can. I would definitely recommend these wonderful kennels.
We’ve been taking our family dog Poppy, to Branscombe for 7 years now we’ve had no problems throughout. She always goes in as if it’s her second home. The staff always make a big fuss of her and are so attentive. There appears to big be such a happy atmosphere about the kennels. The kennels are very clean and your first impression on arrival is very welcoming.I would recommend to all.
Have used Debonair Dogs reguarly over the last 2 years. Debbie is always pleasant and is really good with my precious boys. The salon is kept clean and tidy and so is all the grooming equipment. I have had appointments at different times or the day and have seen the salon first thing in the morning and I've also been the last client of the day. Yes, later appointments there is dog hair bagged up from the days grooming as one would expect from a top groomer. I wouldn't take either of my dogs anywhere else.
First impressions when walking through the door is that the grooming parlour hasn't been cleaned in months. Surfaces were covered in thick dust, it smelt and there were piles of dog hair on the floor and a bin bag full of hair in the corner. The grooming table was dirty as were the grooming tools. If it hadn't been for the case that we desperately needed our dog to be groomed we would have walked straight out again and not left our dog to be clipped. On later inspection of my dog's coat it was very unevenly clipped and was not at all impressed. The owner though clearly very knowledgeable had a lecturing way of talking to you. Will NOT be returning again.
Deb' personifies the true meaning of love and care for our furbabies. Thank you for the friendship over many years.
As Tina Turner says simply the best. Alfie pulls on his lead to go in and see Debbie and loves sleeping on the sofa which he is not allowed in do at home.
Debbie is so brilliant with the dogs, I would trust her with anything.
Amazing, does my dogs nails so quickly yet expertly which is amazing as he hates having it done but she does it just wonderfully!
Absolutely lovely lady who knows her stuff about dogs. My buddy loves her ❤
Excellent service, it's always a really good cut.
Debbie is wonderful with all dogs. Go there.
Really good service and friendly would recommend
I would suggest people avoid at all costs. The owner "looks after" your pets/family by leaving them alone to bark all day and or night long. Last time it was for over 4 hours. Constant barking. Clearly an animal in need. The RSPCA have been notified for neglect. I hope the full weight of the law is exacted. Edit: Mavis, I will not contact you privately. This has been going on for years. I moved to Tarrant Monkton in 2001. The dogs you "look after" were, and are frequently left outside in all weather whilst you used to go out to the pub, (before you fell out with the Landlady) or out in general. Leaving them to bark at all hours until you return to them. I would be livid if you treated my dog this way. You are lucky so many people have given you leeway this long for living in the village. Being woken up at all hours, the peace of the village broke consistently for no reason other than your lack of commitment to those pets. My review is factual and others will confirm this. If you don't want bad reviews, don't act in a bad manner. ****AVOID**** Second Edit: Geraldine, perhaps you should come down from your home two villages away sometime and experience it first hand. If you doubt myself, please feel free to knock on doors in Tarrant Launceston and or Tarrant Monkton to ask for others experiences. Experiences not opinions. Unfortunately your ignorance is not an excuse. It is common knowledge that you and others including Mavis don't support the local pub, or charity events. Also that you and Mavis host nights involving the early hours and alcohol. . The drama surrounding a select few in the Tarrants could pose a threat to most "reality" TV programmes. As I have stated previously, bad reviews come from bad experiences. Not fiction. This concludes my review permanently and any further reviews you, or Mavis' other friends post. Please note, your fake review(s) have been reported as misleading. Good day. ****AVOID****
What a shame this person has chosen to express his disgruntlement in such a personal, vindictive and misguided way. Mavis’s loyal clients know these claims to be untrue - her concern for the animals in her care is beyond question.
Mavis at Homestead Per Care has been lovingly looking after my “forever friends” for the past 15 years and I trust her explicitly. Be it for the odd day care whilst I’m working to weeks of boarding whilst I’m away, I’m absolutely confident that my dogs are being lovingly looked after. I could not recommend Mavis enough, both of my spaniels have adored her and can not wait to return!
Mavis has looked after our dogs for nearly 20 years and we are very grateful for the care she gives them.
Mavis has been expertly looking after my animals - dogs at Homestead and ducks at my home - for many years. I wouldn’t go to anyone else!
Mavis is great with our two dogs .thay really enjoy going to homestead
My dog Blossom goes here 3 time a week daytime only. They are absolutely wonderful and my dog loves everyone who work there. They genuinely love the animals they look after. It was such a relief for me to leave my dog somewhere safe and well looked after while I'm at work. Highly recommend the Turnpike Kennels and Cattery.
Always a pleasure to deal with the team at Turnpike. Have used them for nearly 20 years now, first looking after our Lhasa Aphso dog and now our British Short-hair cat. Trial runs are always advised when you first start out to make sure your pet , gets used to the fact that your coming back and helps calm them for longer stays.
This kennels are so loving and genuinely care about your furry friends and make sure there okay and stick to whatever you say your furry friends diet is.
We have used this kennel several times now, and or cat & dog always come home healthy & well looked after. The staff act on any requests to make sure our pets are fine.
Would highly recommend the guys at turnpike. My 5 month old. Cockapoo absolutely enjoyed his time at the kennels. . The needs of the dogs are second to none . Clean kennels. Great. Owners . And they put your mind at ease . First time putting my dog in kennels. I didn’t need to worry. I would recommend. Turnpike to anyone .
My rottweiler stayed for first ever time in kennels when I collected her she was all smiles. She was well looked after. Update this would be my 4th time going to kennels, staff are great my girl was alittle bit apprehensive about going in so we took our time getting her into kennel, I didn't feel rushed and they made me feel at ease when I left her . Nobody really wants to leave there animals but when we do we want to make sure there in safe hands and not worry about a furry friends whilst away, they even spoke about options for making it alittle easier on her like coming for the day or entering from a different door, there amazing and would recommend to any of my friends. ❤️
Have given 5 stars now as the current owners are great, our two dogs aren't the biggest lovers of kennels but they always seem fine here and not overly anxious when dropped off. The small team of staff genuinely care about the animals under their care and I wouldn't take my boys anywhere else.
They looked after our dogs while we were away for a week. We felt the price was reasonable. We were greeted by a friendly member of staff who met with us and our dogs to their enclosure. The place looked like it was kept very clean. Our dogs were extremely pleased to see us on their return, but looked like they had been well looked after. The staff members we encountered were polite and friendly, and very patient with us while we said goodbye to the dogs for a week. We are likely to use them again when we're travelling abroad in future.
Max had a wonderful first time at the kennels. They gave him his meds easily and he left wanting to go back when we popped him in the car! Owner is lovely and so are the lovely small team. Thoroughly relieved to find a safe happy place for our beloved pooch to stay in when mummy and daddy need their quality time.
My cat Sylvester has just had his first visit here for the August Bank Holiday weekend. It is a lovely place and he seemed to be very happy. Thank you very much for looking after him so well 😊 …
Tracy is a great help to us as a professional working couple. Being able to step in and walk our dogs, along with house sitting where necessary. She is trustworthy, attentive and a lovely person, being able to control our large, energetic dogs giving them not only the exercise they need but also reinforcing recall and obedience training. We have just returned from a weekend away to our contented dogs, a clean house and some beautiful flowers left in a vase. We value her services and thoroughly recommend her to others!
We used Aunty Muddy to take care of our two borders while we were getting married at Lulworth. They had a lovely time (as evidenced by photos and a diary of their exploits!) before coming over to take part in the wedding photos all dressed up in their new leads and collars. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend. (Had a pre-wedding day walk so that the dogs could get used to Aunty Muddy - and her to them!) Thanks
My dogs have been part of the Muddy Gang for over 6 years! I can honestly say there not many people I trust with my pups, but I do trust Tracy. Both dogs adore their walks with Auntie Muddy and always come back with smiles on their faces! Absolutely love seeing the photos of them having fun with their friends - especially the boop shots! I couldn’t recommend Muddy Puddles highly enough.
Aunty Muddy is an wonderful cat sitter! We have used her several times to cat sit so that we have piece of mind while we are away knowing our cats are being looked after beautifully with lots of attention and cuddles, and she never just drops the food and leaves, she really does spend time with them! Invaluable!
Thank you so much for looking after Hugo so well at our wedding before, during the ceremony and after! As you know I was a bit nervous at the start as we've never had anyone look after him apart from family before but when I saw him doing all sort of tricks on the lawn in front of the castle that he doesn't do for us I knew he was absolutely fine! I loved having the photo updates throughout the day, it made me so happy to see him having such a fun time. We love the photo album you've sent and the cracking photo of him I from of the castle, thank you! We will definitely want to use you again and thanks for making the process all so easy and stress free it's exactly what we needed leading up to the wedding!
Tracy offers a range of fantastic services which are great value for money. She is really polite and helpful, nothing seems too much trouble. Thoroughly recommended!
The owner is absolutely wonderful. The service is fantastic. 1st class customer service and perfect care. Your animals could not be in better hands
Lovely dog walker and pet sitter
