Nina and Pete kindly house and animal sat for us for two and a half weeks this summer and were super competent and able sitters. We have 3 donkeys, 2 demanding oriental cats and a big flock of chickens to take care of and they did this wonderfully - coping ably when one of our hens fell ill and giving the donkeys lots of care and attention. They even went on a donkey care course at a nearby donkey sanctuary before sitting for us - an absolute first for dedication! As they live only around an hour's drive from us, they came by to meet us and to receive animal sitting instructions before the sit, which is always a lovely way of having your mind put at rest that everything will be okay at home. We came home to an extremely clean and tidy home and a delicious freshly baked apple cake - what could be better after a long journey! All in all, we wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for capable and caring sitters.
Nenko and Bia were great housesitters. They took great care of our cats and even left us lovely Polaroids of them and tulips. It was so sweet of them. They sent us photos and we felt safe leaving our home in their hands. Communication was very good, things were seamless.

We were so lucky to have found Dene! Our lovely but slightly mad Weimaraner Lottie now has a second home. She absolutely loves going to Dene for day care & walks and we know she is not only safe, but loved & cared for. Dene goes out of her way to help accommodate us and we have already booked Lottie in for holidays next year!
The best thing we could have done for our two Labradors is introduce them to Dene and her Happy Doggy Daycare. They get so excited when they hear her car arrive for their weekly group walk. It's so reassuring for us to know they get this regular socialisation and variation with someone we trust implicitly. Being on Dene's books also gives us the piece of mind I thought would be impossible; we can completely switch off from any worry. Dene is reliable, professional and caring. She treats all her dogs as if they were her own. Whether you are looking for walks, daycare or residential stays for your fur-babies...don't hesitate!
Dene has provided day care and holidays for Hugo and Coco for almost 4 years and comes highly recommended. I always have total peace of mind when Dene is caring from them and it is just like home from home. Hugo and Coco are always so pleased to see Dene when she arrives to collect them and looks forward to wonderful walks in the countryside with all their doggy friends. Dene is very approachable, versatile and always goes that extra mile to help out when needed and provides bespoke individual care for all the doggies she cares for and comprehends their individual personalities. If you want a home from home, caring and loving environment for your doggy whilst at work or on holiday, then Dene provides an outstanding 5 star service that is excellent and second to none.
Happy Doggy Daycare is a wonderful service, Dene is very professional aswell as being caring with myself and Coco. This is great value for money as you know the dogs are well looked after and always kept safe and cared for. My dogs reaction when Dene pulls up to get her just says it all, her tail bangs like a drum and she runs around whining in circles it is lovely to see. We have had occasional behaviour issues which Dene has highlighted and given us some guidance from previous experiences with other dogs and we have tried to nip this in the bud and each time its worked perfectly. Cannot tell you how happy we are with Denes service as leaving your dog is like leaving a child.
Dene is absolutely fantastic. Our dog gets so excited when we pull up to Dene's house and comes home content and tired from all the walking, playing and stimulation she gets from being with Dene and other friendly dogs. The email we get of the route map and photos of their walk are really enjoyable too. We've used other dog walkers and day care in the past but they've never been as professional as this.
Dene is such a wonderful lady. She looks after my two dogs, Blue & Luna, as if they were her own. They adore her. Dene goes above and beyond and offers an exceptional home from home service as well as taking the dogs on the most amazing walks. You only have to see their happy faces in the photos. I would highly recommend Happy Doggy Trowbridge. 5 Stars for a 5 Star service.
Message from Ralfie (my dog) “I absolutely LOVE my walks with Dene! Every morning I wait paitiently with one ear up for her car to arrive and then I know its play time with all my happy doggy day care crew. Dene cares for me as if I was her own and takes me on the best walks and takes the best photos of me too to show my mum what a fabulous time I’ve had. When we had to pause my walks during lock down I was so sad but I when I was back it’s like I’ve never been away! Dene is so kind, caring and professional, she even made me handmade dog friendly truffles for Christmas! I cannot recommend dene enough. Thankyou dene! Love Ralfie 🐾 “
We're been lucky enough to use Happy Doggy (Trowbridge) services since 2017, and it has been a godsend. Our diva dog adores Dene, and HAS to have kisses whenever she arrives. She gets taken to beautiful, open spaces, where she can run off her beans with friends. I have 100% confidence that she will be looked after well and have a great time.
I have every confidence in Dene and the service she provides is superb. We have a very happy dog as a result and when we leave her for overnights stays we feel relaxed in the knowledge that she is safe and contented.
Always been really happy with Dene, very accommodating with all the COVID issues such as moving dates etc. Both my dogs love their visits, never had any problems and will continue to use.
Really professional team, took time to get to know our rescue dogs and followed any instructions we gave them to ensure their development continued. Albert & Nancy love the team and are so happy to head out the door with them. Would highly recommend..
We Love Pets has provided a very reliable and flexible dog walking service whose was exactly what we needed with a busy working schedule. Our walker Chloe obviously has a great relationship with our dog as he is always excited to see her.
The team at We Love Pets Trowbridge does an amazing job. They are timely, work with short notice in almost all cases, and they are great taking care of our cat when we're away. Very highly recommended!
A lovely team - my dogs are very happy when they see their walker arrive, and are always very excited when we pull up outside their boarders house for a doggy holiday. We are very happy with our experience with Jo and her team. Xxx
Bonnie was nervous going to a new groomer but she shouldn’t have. The Girls are so amazing and welcoming. Bonnie felt so much happier going the 2nd visit. She looks and smells amazing. Thank you so much. The photos say it all- a big smile and a contented sleep after x
I've been using we love pets for a number of years now and they've been fantastic. I've 3 cats and I always feel they're in safe hands and will get little updates when I'm away and always come home to 3 happy cats. The team are amazing.
I don't think I've ever left a negative review before but.. It was good the first time for our spaniel. But the second time was awful. Had done skinny legs, ears length was different, they had cut all her eyebrow lashes and whiskers off which are now growing awkwardly now curling in her eye (they don't effect her health though right?) Definitely wasn't a show cocker cut like I had asked. I shouldn't have paid even though I said at the time that was a lot shorter than I had agreed but I just couldn't get over it. So I then contacted them to say I wasn't happy. Basically was told it was my fault? For over £50 I'd expect them to groom her, not just basically shave everything off which is NOT what you do with a show type. Didn't receive a refund as I was fed up with arguing. Was so expensive for what was done. No offence but I could have done that. Do not recommend.
We love pets Trowbridge are absolutely fantastic. Harley has stayed with Jo and her family a few times. They adore her and she loves it there. 😊 …
I highly recommend this dog groomers. My dogs come home looking and smelling amazing. The ladies are very pleasant and interested in the dogs background. The pricing of treatments is very reasonable especially with the cost of living going up. Highly recommend supporting this lovely business.
Milo is a big dog, no doubt about it. Anna at we love pets hasn't been fazed by this and has been absolutely fantastic with him for his walks. Occasionally we have been home to see how excited he gets when she arrives to take him out. We're even more happy to see how tired out he is when he gets home. Not to mention the price for a one to one walk is really good. Very good value for money! So far our experience with We Love Pets has been fantastic. I'm sure they will continue to impress.
Friends for pets are fantastic! Whenever we go away, Jo comes to look after our (sometimes challenging) young cat. We can rest assured knowing that Jo is reliable, and always takes extra care to play with Bonnie, and give her a fuss too. She’ll even do sleep-ins if your animal needs it. She even sends photo updates to us doting cat parents. Highly recommend :)
Very responsive and do a great job of looking after our cat
Very reliable get back to you quickly
Highly recommend!
Becki looked after our indoor cat whilst we were away on holiday, visiting her in our home twice a day. She was brilliant. Very professional and reliable. Becki arrived at pre discussed times and was happy to provide tailored care for our cat. We felt very happy with the level of service provided, Becki even kept us up to date with how our cat had been each day via WhatsApp and the occasional picture. Would highly recommend and use again.
I cannot recommend this service enough! The staff are always so helpful and have been so patient with Brucie and his separation anxiety. Brucie loves going on his walks, I love the reports we get after the walk to see how he has got on.... although today there was traffic issues when I receive these pictures I can truly see how much the staff love the doggies and really enjoy their jobs! Thank you so much to Sophie & the team 💙
Fabulous grooming service. So happy to discover that HPCS offer this. Our Cavapoochon always comes out happy and looking gorgeous. Great teeth cleaning process too. Chloe is lovely. Highly recommend.
Mabel has been going out for weekly walks for over a year now. She loves getting together with other dogs and gets so excited when the van pulls onto our driveway. I highly recommend heathers pet care services and always mention them to other dog owners.
Just finished Heathers pet services puppy classes as Rosemary Lodge. We really enjoyed the sessions and my pup and I will both benefit from what we have learnt. Sophie N was fantastic. She is really engaging, knowledgeable and always ready to answer any questions separate from the lesson content. I wasn’t looking forward to being out on a cold Wednesday evening but am now sad it’s finished. Would def recommend. Will be looking to book some of Heather’s other pet services.
We did not have the best experience with Heather’s Pet Services. We genuinely appreciated how understanding and hard working the staff were, however the customer service really let us and our two cats down. I understand this is a predominantly dog-centred service, but we were assured they could look after Persian cats and their additional specific needs. We were extremely anxious about leaving our cats alone, to the point that it’s prevented us from taking trips since before the pandemic. It took a few visits for them to get used to these and I took particular care to update our information in their online portal. After each visit we could tell the staff really took on our feedback, which was amazing. However, on arriving home after the last two visits, we found one or both cats had become unwell and left unpleasant smells and messes to attend to, definitely not a nice environment to come home to after being away. After letting customer service know about this, the response was very unsympathetic and unprofessional. We were blamed for their errors and told we were at fault for making a staff member ill with the feedback we gave previously. I have never come across a business take so little responsibility for the quality of their services (at frankly extortionate prices) or the wellbeing of their staff, and I was particularly shocked by the lack of interest in the wellbeing of our cats after the final visit. Unfortunately, we would not feel safe leaving our cats under their supervision again.
About 5 years ago our cockapoo Barney began to get very agitated whilst being groomed. This got steadily worse to the point that the groomer said they would not be able to groom him without him being sedated…. We did this reluctantly, as we hated the effect the drugs had on him. I was chatting it through with the vet as this had been going on for a couple of years and I felt that it could not be good to do this as Barney was nearing 9. A number of people mentioned that Heather’s pets had a lady who was a trained dog behaviourist and wonderfully patient grooming team. I felt it was worth a go although did wonder if the saying ‘ you cannot teach an old dog new tricks’ would be validated! Sophie a trained dog behaviourist and Chloe the chief groomer have worked wonders- between them they have taken time with Barney to ensure he is comfortable with them and in their grooming room. They have cared for him and eased him in gradually to being able to be first washed and cleaned with them and now groomed without any sedation at all! It is such a relief and I am so grateful- they always reassured me too that I was not being a paranoid dog owner and that it would be worth taking this time- and it certainly has been. We are all so thankful they are fantastic!
My dog has been having regular weekly walks with the staff at heathers pet care services. Mabel loves being collected and going out with a group of dogs. The staff are dedicated animal lovers and take great care of your pets. Mabel has a brilliant bond with whichever walker she has and get super excited when she sees them walk up our path. I Highly reccomend heathers pet care services
Heather’s Pet Care Services is fantastic! I attended the puppy training classes & found them to be really informative, interactive & supportive. Sophie led the classes & found her to be really professional, helpful & so knowledgeable! I also take my dog along to their pet groomer Chloe, who has been amazing with her & always do a fantastic groom. My dog was not keen with being groomed, however in Chloe’s care, we haven’t looked back! I thoroughly recommend you use Heather’s Pet care Services for all your pet needs!
We have only positive things to say about both Sophie and Heathers Pet Care Services. We arranged some 121 sessions with Sophie for our little Cockapoo recently - and Sophie was so friendly, knowledgeable and Sophie made every session exciting. Our Cockapoo was so entertained, and we've taken all the training notes, games and general advice moving forwards and we can't wait to use the services again. Thanks again :)
We have used Heathers for a number of years now for group walking, grooming, puppy training and 121 dog training. They are all excellent and the online booking system is very helpful. Would highly recommend to any dog owners in Bath area.
I use Milly's pooch parlour (dog grooming) Milly is a fantastic groomer x Always pleased with her work x And Albus loves her too
Emma from Charlie Paws did a great job looking after our cat and aquarium for five days. We asked for two visits per day and at each visit Emma sent photo and video updates, including videos of her play times with the cat. We could see how calm and happy our cat was in Emma's company and felt totally reassured our pets were very well cared for. I can highly recommend Charlie Paw's services.
This is the best doggie day care facility in the area
Brilliant and very knowledgeable about my dogs and doing step by step introduction with other dogs and my 3 dogs were welcomed Brilliantly by the other dogs there and by the staff. Great prices and a great day care plan as well, Well chuffed.
New daycare visit,, very impressed with the care given to dogs there. They are all clearly very happy and very well cared for by the staff.
My pup absolutely loves his time with the Charlie Paws team. Can't wait to get in there every time.
Fantastic place kind courteous staff my dog Alfie adores this place
My dog has stayed a few times. Always very well looked after. Highly recommend
Eva my westie always loves Debbie and staying with her.
Megan and her family have been amazing! I’m always nervous leaving my two cats but knowing that they’re going to be looked after so well by Furever Friends makes me feel so much more relaxed. We come home to chilled, happy cats 🐱 Thanks so much for looking after our fur babies so well 💕 …
The furever friends team are fabulous. They've taken time to get to know my reactive and sensitive large breed dog and he loves them. He gets so excited when they come to get him. They've also got to know him well enough to pick the right group of dogs for him to befriend on his walks. Our dog must have a wonderful time when out on his walks, the pictures and videos I get sent show this and he is always having a snooze when we get back to him.I couldn't recommend them enough and trust them with my most precious family member.
We have used Furever Friends for over a year now and couldn't recommend them highly enough! They also helped us out massively over Christmas 2023 when we had to reschedule at short notice. Would definitely recommend!
Meg and family are fab. Our cockapoo Ernie absolutely loves it there, it's his home from home and they treat him like their own. Couldn't recommend highly enough
Noodle attended Furever friends puppy parties and absolutely loved it! We live in a small village and don’t see too many dogs on walks, so this was the ideal place for noodle to learn some socialising manners, play with other dogs and spend time with hoomans other than his! Thank you so much for looking after our beautiful boy, it’s lovely to see his confidence growing! We will definitely be in touch in the future x
Very happy with the service offered and the price that was charged for it. Our puppy definitely enjoyed it and always came back exhausted, the early night for the owners was very much appreciated!
My dogs love being there, very happy indeed, lovely people. Highly recommend them.
My dog Murphy loves staying with Lucie 😊 he rushes off to see her and doesn't even look back at me 😂 I love how Lucie sends doggie logs every day, sending pictures of Murphy having fun on his walks with the other dogs. I highly recommend Lucie, such a lovely person 🙂 …
Lucie and her family 4 legged and 2 legged are lovely. Our 6 month old pup had a wonderful first day at doggy daycare. I loved the email notifications of the walks along with tons of pictures of what they were getting up to. He didn't want to leave. Once home he slept like a log and we had our first dream experience with him making noises and his little legs going. It's such a relief knowing he is happy whilst I am at work. Wonderful great secure facility and garden for them to play in. Thank you Lucie and Co
Lucie was wonderful when she looked after our dog. Friendly and caring, our dog loved the long walks.
Tilly is brilliant with our pupper and has helped with loose lead and confidence. Olive is always excited to see Tilly and has the best time on her walks. If you are looking for someone who will love your dog as much as you, Tilly is your lady. Nothing is to much trouble and the pics and videos of their adventures are an added touch.
My pup has been with Tilly now for a few months. He absolutely adores her and greets her enthusiastically. Tilly herself is lovely, is knowledgeable about the dogs in her care, she matches all the dogs for the group walks extremely well with no more than 4 dogs at a time, and is always polite and professional. I highly recommend Tilly if your looking for a dog walker.
Our dog has had 2 walks with Tilly so far, and the start of many hopefully. Tilly listened carefully to our requests and has been walking our collie who seems very happy. Highly recommend 👍 …
Our 3 had a wonderful time with Tilly, good walk and spoilt when back home. Tilly is responsive, friendly and professional. More importantly she considered all 3 of our labs' differing needs. They want her back.
Fantastic lady, super friendly, great with Wallace... timely... courteous, and empathetic to anxieties xx Couldn't ask for more. She is a credit to the dog industry xx Love Millie & Wallace
Tilly is pure gold and that's a review straight from our beautiful Springer. Tilly loves what she does and our dog loves her. She is professional, knowledgeable and caring, not just in her ability to walk our girl when we can't but cares about how Maya is feeling. She gives plenty of love, cuddles and attention, administers medication and always leaves us a repawt plus a video or two. I know Maya is happy and cared for properly when left with Tilly and you can't ask for more than that.
I cannot recommend Tilly enough! She is professional, reliable and lovely to boot. My 2 dogs absolutely love Tilly visiting, and she has taken the time to build a relationship with my cautious boy. So pleased to have found you Tilly, see you soon!
Tilly has been providing 1hr solo walks and visits for our puppy for the last few months and has also been supporting us with heal work and recall training which we have noticed such an improvement in. Being provided with updates and videos after his walks always gave us peace of mind and she has always been very supportive in squeezing in ad hoc days where possible. We cannot recommend Tilly enough and truly feel she goes above and beyond for the dogs in her care. It’s very clear the love she has for them and that they become very much like one of her own.
Absolutely fantastic service, I'm certain my dog likes Tilly more than us, he's always so excited to see her and asleep immediately after his walk ! Great communication and just amazingly friendly all around 10/10 she's really helped him with his socialisation and listening issues and we're so grateful for the service and company she provides
Tilly is a lovely person with a natural affinity for dogs. Happy to do an ad hoc day for us she went above and beyond. The dogs were truly spoiled with love and attention which helped us relax and enjoy or event. Fantastic service and worth its weight in gold. 😁😁 …
Rich has been looking after our 2 cats when we have been away over the last couple of years. We are really glad we found him and know our cats are good hands when we are not there. Rich is super friendly and keeps us updated which keeps our minds at ease. Our cats are very nervous rescue cats and have formed a good bond with Rich over time, which we really value. We also occasionally foster cats and Rich has always been happy to help look after them as well.
We've been using Rich for years for our cats and the service is always fantastic - on several occasions he was happy to cover visits at extremely short notice and he's always been available when we needed him. Very reasonable prices, keeps everything tidied up and cleans bowels (we've had messy professional pet sitters before so I'm grateful Rich always left our home spotless). Rich is a lovely guy who is always happy to give us updates when we're away for a while. He also keeps really detailed records of the pets he cares for. So glad we found him!
Rich and the team are simply amazing. Rich has been looking after our cat Ronnie for nearly 3 years now. Our cat is very shy and only usually makes an appearance for us, and now Rich is his best friend! I simply would not trust anyone else to look after him. Forever grateful!
We've been using the cat sitter services for the last couple of years and have found Rich to be very friendly and reliable. He provides us with updates on the cats when we're away, which is reassuring and shows that he cares about their welfare. Would recommend Rich to others and plan to continue using his services going forwards.
Amazing company, very trustworthy. Rich has been taking care of our cats for years now.even when it was at a very short notice never declined. He has kept us up to date with messages and photos as well and when one of our cats needed medication he also took care of it. Wholeheartedly recommended.
We asked Rich to check in on our cats and chickens whilst we were away for a few nights getting married. I was bery anxious about leaving them as normally a friend or family member will look after them while were away, however all that worry left as soon as we met Rich. He's an absolute gem, he came round and met everyone prior to us finalising the booking so we could ensure we were comfortable with him. He took the time to learn all of our pets names and was very thorough with ensuring they were all cared for how we wanted. Rich was really professional, understanding our chickens are a part of our family just as much as our cats. His communication is absolutely fab, and he called to check in on the first night and kept in good contact throughout. I couldnt recommend the service more. I felt incredibly relaxed knowing that Rich was looking after our little pet family while we were away. We will most definitely be using Rich for future trips.
Rich looks after the animals at our nursery every weekend. He is so friendly and passionate about what he does. The role he does for us is a bit different as he cares for pigs, chickens, ducks and guinea pigs but he is great at it and we trust him 100%. Can't recommend him enough :)
Rich has been looking after our cat for years whenever we have been away from home and provides a brilliant reliable service. I've always appreciated the fact that he keeps me informed and has always been flexible if needed at short notice.
We've used Rich & co a couple of times to visit our cats, one of whom needs regular meds. No problems to report whatsover. His fact finding and preparation is very thorough and it was nice to get a progress update on day 1 to confirm everything was ok.
I have used Rich several times to look after my Cat and Rabbit while I’ve been away. He has been great everytime. He came and met them and wrote their routines down. He visited twice a day and catered for their every need. He sent me updates and reassures me they were ok. Couldn’t ever use anyone else.
