I would highly recommend Jack and Lacey for your sit. They stayed in contact prior to the sit and during. Sorting out a couple of glitches in their stride.

What an amazing and professional service. My dog Toffee, goes to Canine Country Escape and she loves it. She absolutely loves the dog walkers and actually runs to the door waiting to be collected when she hears the door bell. They are all so warm and affectionate towards her, definitely a reassurance that she's in safe hands.
We have been using Canine Countryside Escape for the last few months for our new gorgeous Labrador puppy. She started when she was 4 months old and loved it right from the start. The staff are all very caring, friendly and seem to genuinely love spending time with all the dogs. Our lovely pup comes back exhausted but very happy (which we see from some of the update photos that get sent during the day!). The whole process is straight forward and easy.
Our Labrador absolutely LOVES going to CCE! The staff really care for her and we have complete trust that she is in fun and safe hands. The only slight downside is the timings, making it hard to manage around work commitments, we use the pick up/drop off service though which helps with this.
We have had a great experience with Canine Countryside Escape and highly recommend them to those considering doggy daycare. The staff are wonderful; it's clear that caring for the dogs is a passion, not just a job. Our boy has settled in quickly and always arrives home happy. We receive much appreciated video or voice updates and the van service is really helpful as well. Thanks so much CCE!
Sara and her team provide excellent doggie day care/walking services and are very flexible should your day care needs change. My dog always comes home happy and tired out and is a well rounded, sociable dog because of her visits to CCE. She looks forward to being collected by the lovely staff who clearly adore dogs. We also took our dog to puppy classes at Doberdayz so our dog thinks this is a “home from home”. A brilliant service all round!! .
Amazing place to take your dog for excitement and a good old run, Well placed and friendly staff will def recommend and go back 😀 ❤ …
Sara and her staff run a brilliant facility with plenty of enrichment for the dogs in their care. The paddocks are well maintained and in a beautiful location. They run plenty of course and classes and you can hire fields for agility using their quality equipment. Would highly recommend, Rosie loves her time there!
Have been walking my dog for almost a year now and the team is so wonderful . He is really happy to go on his walks and the care and love the team shows for each and every dog is exceptional. Best in the business, highly recommend.
A very friendly, efficient, flexible, personable and reliable dog daycare business. All people who work there are lovely and treat all the dogs like they would their own. I have two very energetic young cocker spaniels who are beyond ecstatic when they see the pickup van pull up. The dogs can’t get into that van fast enough. CCE are great with posting little daily videos on social media so you can see what your dog is up to. They also can help with training if you feel your dog needs a refresher in something like decal or loose lead walking which I have found very helpful. When my dogs are dropped off at the end of the day, all they want to do is have a snack and a long nap - which says a lot considering how high energy they are. Thank you team!
Hard to find but got there in the end Nice location good place for the dogs to have a runaround. Shame the weather was against us.
Natalia takes our 1 year old cavapoo Nelson for a walk once a week. He is always so excited when she arrives to pick him up, and Natalia shares lovely pictures and videos of their walk so we know he has the best time. She’s been really flexible when we’ve needed to change days or get support with extra walks. Thanks so much Natalia!
Natalia had 2 of our bunnies to board at hers over a long weekend whilst we were away. They were given an ideal outdoor set up in a safe, secure run in the garden and there was always someone at home whilst they were outside to keep a watchful eye. At nighttime or if they were out the bunnies were moved to a secure indoor run within their summer house in the garden. I received daily photos and updates. She also called in to feed our cats and collected post and milk from the milk man ect. I felt completely at ease leaving our animals in her safe hands as you can see how loving a nurturing Natalia is towards all animals. I highly recommend and will be using her services again.
Natalia has been walking our dog Joey for about 2 months now and has also boarded him overnight for a couple of nights. She is amazing with dogs and Joey is always super excited when he meets her, which is the best 'client' testimonial.
Whiskers, Feathers and fur recently walked my very excitable doggo whilst I was unwell, Millie (my pup) thoroughly enjoyed the walks and came back worn out everytime 😁. She would be very happy to see Natalia for her walk and would rush out the door. Thank you so much! I will definitely be using you again and would recommend you in a heartbeat. I added a photo that Natalia sent me which was such a lovely bonus.
Just brilliant! Natalia looked after our kitten during the summer break. We have never used a service like this but we were so impressed. She really does care for your pet and we had so many photos and videos that we knew he was in safe hands. We will be using her services again and we are more than happy to recommend her to others.
Natalia looked after our guinea pigs a couple of times whilst we were away and she did an absolutely fantastic job! She kept them company, provided a stimulating environment and updated us regularly with pictures. On one occasion, I contacted Natalia the night before we went away as we booked a last minute break and she was really flexible and super helpful! You can trust Natalia 100% with your pets and your home. We would recommend her a million times over! Thank you so much for looking after our piggies and home so well!
We are so grateful that we used Natalia to look after our new kitten during our summer breaks. She has such a love of animals, and this was evident from the care and attention she gave Smidge during her visits. She kept our kitten entertained, providing her with stimulation and company. This was really important to us as our kitten can’t yet go outside and is used to a busy household. The photos and videos Natalia sent daily were loved by our children (and us). I would highly recommend Natalia at Whiskers, Feathers & Fur.
Natalia provides a fantastic and reliable service. I was looking for a dog walker and someone to care for our chickens when we were away. I came across an advert for Natalia online so we contact her and it was the start of a wonderful service. First and foremost the dogs and our chickens love her. Secondly, and just as importantly Natalia is extremely trustworthy and reliable. She communicates very well, and even gives our dogs little toys or treats on special occasions. She has also been able to help out at short notice when we have had a family emergency and needed help with additional dog walking unexpectedly. I would recommend her in a heartbeat.
We have used Natalia and Whiskers, Feathers and Fur on many occasions when we have been away. Our cats are very shy with strangers but have always been super happy to see Natalia who will always go the extra mile with them (including finding her way through our building site to feed them). She plays with them, leaves them treasure hunts of treats to find and will send us photos and videos so we know they are safe. We couldn't recommend her more (and frequently do to others!)
Natalia was absolutely amazing with our two! They are both very different personalities and she had them both charmed from the outset (even our shy cat). I could really tell how much she cared and her messages were really reassuring. Separately, I would also love her to take 'formal' photos of the two, she has a real eye! I cannot recommend Natalia more and I am so relieved to have found someone so reliable for the future. Thanks Natalia!
We have been using Gilly's pet care for both dog walking and boarding since 2021 and we could not be more grateful for the care and the service that Gillian and her family show to our dog Rio. Rio absolutely loves his walks with Gillian and will wait at the door every morning for her to come. When we travel we feel completely at ease knowing he is as looked after at their home as he is ours ! Highly recommend to anyone looking for a caring and competent dog walking family!
I have used Gillys Pet Care for 3.5 years and can't express how grateful I am for Gill's continued love and care for my dog. Gill is a wonderful dog walker and my dog is always super excited when she arrives. I would urge anyone looking for a trustworthy and flexible dog walker to use Gill. She has saved my bacon on many occasion when I've needed a last minute dog walk.
Gill has been walking our Border Terrier for six years. Gill is kind and thoughtful and absolutely trustworthy. She looks after our dog so well, and is so sensible about when to keep her on the lead and keeping her safe using the muzzle (our dog can be snappy). Can’t recommend Gill highly enough, she’s just a wonderful person and loves, loves, loves dogs!
Gillian has been walking our dogs for over 7 years. She has been amazing with all 3 of them, taking the time to understand their needs and give us excellent advice. Our dogs are always so excited when she takes them on walks and I genuinely think they love her more than us sometimes. I would recommend Gillian 100 times over. We would be lost without her!
Gilly’s Pet Care has been looking after our Cavapoo, Barney, for nearly two years. The team are incredibly loving, caring and also very accommodating to our needs. We only have to mention the name Gillian, Darren or Grace and our Barney is running to the door! He will even sit waiting at the window for a glimpse of the Gilly’s Pet Care van, knowing he is about to have a fabulous time out with his furry friends, and will be showered with love from the team. We would thoroughly recommend.
Gilly and the team are amazing always put dog welfare first. Shows a genuine love and care for our pup. Highly recommend.
Gill has walked and looked after my dog for 6 years . My dog loves going out with Gill , she absolutely loves the dogs she looks after and so do Darren , Grace & Karl its like home from home . I would highly recommend Gilly’s pet care they always go above and beyond .
Gilly’s Pet Care has been looking after our cockerpoo Milo 5 years. The team are incredibly professional, caring and also very accommodating to our needs. Milo only has to hear Gilly’s van arrive and he is running to the door! He too will wait at the window for a glimpse of the Gilly’s Pet Care van, knowing he is about to have a fabulous time out with his friends and the team. The service is reliable and Milo is always returned clean regardless of the weather or conditions.
Gillys pet care is amazing! We have been using Gillian for the best part of ten years, be it weekly dog walking for our 3 dogs or even an extra friendly check in on our pooches when we've been working late. I can not recommend them highly enough!
When I had an unplanned move to Rickmansworth four years ago I also was not planning on leaving my dog alone during the day when I got him and I urgently needed someone I could whole-heartedly trust to look after my cherished little dog Teddy. I personally spoke to some of Gilly's existing customers on the phone just before I moved and all of them gave her glowing reports, which really reassured me. Since then, Gilly, her husband Darren and their daughter Grace have looked after my little dog and I could not recommend them more. Teddy adores them all and I have the peace of mind that they always look after him as well as I could. He runs to the door when he knows their van is outside and many times I have seen him lick Gilly's face adoringly when she picks him up. If we see their van when we are out walking he nearly drags me up the road to meet them. I have bumped into a few of their customers since I have lived here and they all share the same opinion as me; Gilly and her family are an absolute god-send and to Gilly it is more than just a business. She is the kindest carer you could ever find and I am forever grateful x
Katie has taken care of my beagle Daisy since she was a puppy. She is a challenging dog with a nose for hunting and a wilful spirit when she finds a scent to follow - so I am delighted at how well Katie has coped - she is so calm and in control, Daisy loves spending time with her. I would highly recommend Squiglets, they truly give you peace of mind and never let you down.
Katie and Peter provide an amazing service. My dog Ianto loves his group walks with Peter. Professional and flexible I highly recommend Squiglets, with no hesitation! Andrew
Katie has walked and cared for my small 13 year old Bolognese dog for many years now. Not only is she always cheerful and full of enthusiasm, she genuinely cares for the dogs that she walks. And most importantly, my dog loves her!
Reliable , trust worthy . My pup loves Pete and his walks with his pals . We have used them from tiny puppy through to joint the group walks . Nothing but good to say .
Friendly, professional and always punctual. Excellent with my dog. Highly recommend.
Friendly great for dogs
'Flora has been going to Jo's since she was a puppy and loves it there. Both Jo & Tony are great with her - they treat her as if she was their own dog. Whenever we pass Jo's house Flora pulls at her lead, wanting to get through the gate, which I think speaks for itself!! I would highly recommend Jo.'
Highly recommend Jo. Known her for over 35 years and dogs are her passion. Your can be reassured that your dogs will be safe with her and looked after as if they were her own.
I've recently used Karen's cat care for the first time and am very pleased with her services. Not only did Karen care expertly for my two cats, one of whom is particularly needy, she sent me frequent updates and pictures of them during my holiday and she was flexible with the days she was needed as family visited the house during my absence. I returned to 2 happy cats and even my plants had been watered, what great service!
We have been absolutely delighted with Karen's care for our cats Mercury and Carlos this summer on a number of occasions. We came back to 2 very happy and relaxed cats. Our holidays were made all the more enjoyable knowing that they were both safe and well looked after. It was great to get regular updates about our cats from Karen and to receive photos of them. Karen clearly loves cats and has a great rapport with them. I cannot recommend her highly enough.
Last week while I was on holiday Karen took care of my cat. I was extremely happy with her professional service and my cat was very happy too :-) Karen is a cat lover and has cats herself, so she knew exactly how to take care of my kitty. Each day while I was on holiday I received a detailed email from Karen (with pics!) telling me how my cat is, how she has been eating and how they played. I was very pleased with everything and will use Karen's cat sitting service in the future. Bernadette
We have three very sweet, very high-maintenance kitties that need regular attention and medication, and as a household that travels frequently, Karen has been a true life saver. We have used Karen's Cat Care many times over the last 2 years, and she is always cheerful and reliable, even for last minute trips. Her regular updates throughout our trip put us at ease and let us enjoy our time away. We always come home to happy kitties, and couldn’t recommend Karen’s Cat Care more highly!
Karen is a wonderful pet sitter. She has a natural affinity for animals, and both of my cats (one outgoing, one shy and grumpy) love her. Her approach is very organised; comprehensive notes and regular communication put my mind completely at ease when I'm away from home. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her!
Karen is a genuinely excellent cat sitter. I struggled to find someone reliable for a while, but was lucky enough to find her ad. When I am away she keeps me up to date on everything, and when I come back I find the place in perfect working order and my cat well looked after and relaxed. I wouldn't even consider using anyone else
Our lab Henry has been a regular at Chandlers Cross for 7 years. He's always happy to arrive and wags his tail when he meets the lovely staff. He comes home happy and fit. Our commitments are unpredictable and they are always very adaptable when we need to change dates or collect or deliver on different days. Happy dog, happy owners. Thank you.
We hate leaving our schnauzer as she doesn't like being left but we felt very confident that she would be well looked after by the nice people at this kennel - they seem really to care about the dogs, they were very friendly and helpful about all the arrangements, and it was very reassuring the way they urged us to visit in advance. At some kennels and dog "hotels" they seem reluctant to let you in at all. Our dog can't tell us if she enjoyed her two week holiday but she came home in good spirits, healthy, trim and clean. We will be hoping Chandlers Cross can take her next time we go away.
if your dog is a bit larger than the normal size of your dog breed or if your dog eats a bit more than the normal amount of its dog breed you should ask them to feed you more or bring your own dog food. but so far it's amazing
Friendly and helpful staff. My dog stayed for several weeks. When I came back, I saw him fitter than before and he was very happy the next time he went back.👍👍 …
Flexibility and safe hands with regards to our pets. Highly recommend them. Review From Krypto's mum
Mark and the team here have always been great. What a lovely place for our dog to stay.
As daunting as it is and painful to leave special family member behind, Chandlers Cross staff (Jess) made me feel reassured and I could see how much passion they had for dogs and ensuring that dog needs would be met. Care offered be as good as I could hope it to be.
My dog is safe here when we are away. As a rescue she's nervous and doesn't love being away from us but we know we can go away with peace of mind that she is well cared for. All the staff are friendly and it's good to be dealing with real people when looking for a space or needing to amend a booking.
This is the first time here for Milo, wont be his last. Jess and Liz were so lovely with him, that he went in with ease. Thank you so much for taking him in at short notice, while i was having work done at home. Wonderful caring staff , wonderful kennels.
Mark, Jess and Liz are the most wonderful human beings and do an amazing job looking after all the doggies at the Kennels. Each and every dog is known by their name as they arrive and all the staff try their best to tend to their individual needs. Thank you all so much for doing your best with our little girl, so thankful to you all🥰
Rosie is fantastic, we were searching for ages for someone to groom our Gordon Setter and we finally found the perfect groomer! Cannot recommend her highly enough 🐶 Rita loves her! …
Our two dogs have had a fabulous time at the Retreat. They are relaxed and in great physical shape. We had daily updates and it has been a tremendous place to let them stay as part of the pack and the family. Thanks very much.
Our dog-obsessed spaniel has a great time here in daycare and boarding! She’s excited to get there, gets on well with the staff, and comes back very chilled out after a hard days play We really appreciate crazy tails’ flexibility. They have been very accommodating for our situation We also use the crazy tails grooming service. Our dog has become fearful of other groomers but gets on fine here and they do a splendid job Thanks very much!
Genuinely blown away at how brilliant the set up here is. A huge outdoor space for the dogs to play, which i realised today, has a recycled cushioned material across the entire area. That’s attached to several indoor spaces for chilling out, doing treat puzzles or having a nap. The carers are clearly experienced and struck up an immediate rapport with our elderly dog…which is always a comfort. Then there’s several acres of fields that the dogs get walked in and if they get mucky, they are given a quick wash and dry in the onsite grooming parlour. Cannot recommend this doggy daycare enough.
This really is 5⭐️ treatment for our dog, she absolutely loves it here and gets so excited when we arrive. The staff are all so lovely and very knowledgeable about dog care. We particularly like her staying overnight in the house with the family. Also, having a grooming parlour on site is a real bonus, particularly as one of the groomers has shown her cocker spaniel at Crufts.
Best groom our long haired husky has ever had. Came back fully dry and smelling lovely. Highly recommend!
