This was the second sit for us with Beth and all the reasons we loved her first time were there again. Organised, self-sufficient, LOVES our cat Stormy. This time though, early in the sit our cat came home with an injury. Beth had booked a vet appointment and kept such good care of him. The rest of the sit required Beth to keep his wound clean, another vet visit, cone/bodysuit on....all done with great humour too. We did consider flying home but, decided he was probably being better looked after by Beth than us - she really has been a superstar and we cannot thank her enough!
Elizabeth was an awesome petsitter. She took good care of our Lucy, sent us frequent texts with pictures and the house was left nice a clean, the way we left it. I would recommend her anytime.

Our dog Billy absolutely loves going to Bev’s for day care, as he gets to spend the day doing his two favourite things - walking and snoozing! We re-homed him last year, and think he had spent a lot of his life being left alone at home for most of the day. Since going to Bev’s, Billy has become much more confident and playful, and his days at day care have helped him to socialise and make lots of doggy friends! Bev is so kind to all the dogs, and her background as a veterinary nurse gives us complete peace of mind. The dogs go out on exciting and varied walks, and can then relax in her comfortable home. We couldn’t ask for anyone better to care for Billy, and would recommend Bev’s services to everyone!
We are so grateful to Beverley and Flora for making Stan’s first stay with them a comfortable and well cared for one. The daily updates, photos and videos were a great comfort while we were away. Stan obviously enjoyed his walks and runs and his time with them. Thanks again to Bev & Flora. Great service.
Beverley provides a first class service. Our cats are extremely well cared for and we think they may prefer Beverley to us 😂. Highly recommended! …
My spaniel has a wonderful time with Bev, Flora and the daycare dogs. Bev is very caring and clearly puts time & effort into making sure the dogs are well integrated and happy. She takes them on lovely walks, which my active dog loves. Bev also provides videos and photos to show the happy time they are having in the beautiful countryside of South Somerset. I am very pleased with this special and unique service that ensures my dog is exercised, engaged and has an enriched experience. The dogs are well looked after and safe. He comes home after a good day with his friends, tail wagging and happy!!
Bev has visited our cat for the last 10 months on a regular basis and is absolutely excellent. She cares for our cat impeccably well and keeps us updated with WhatsApp photos/videos on every visit. Bev also ensures our home is secure and locked after each visit. Thankfully our pet has not been unwell whilst we have been away, but I am confident that Bev would address any illness issues of our cat swiftly and keep us informed. Thank you for all you do!
Our dog Bertie has a lovely time at daycare with Happy Pets and Paws. Bev makes sure all of the dogs get on well, they have different walks every day and lots of one on one interaction too as they are never in a big group. We also get lots of updates and videos on their walks. Would highly recommend for any daycare or walking services.
For assurance that your dogs and cats are in good hands when you go on holiday then get peace of mind with Bev at Happy Pets and Paws in Ilminster. After many years of excellent, caring attention we would highly recommend Bev. We have cats - at times many cats! - and they really do enjoy staying at home rather than going away for their holiday. They were getting stressed being taken away to holiday homes and then again on the return trip. Bev allows them to remain in their own familiar home in stress free surroundings. We have had cats with a wide range of ages and requirements, including some old timers like us requiring medications, but Bev provides all the care they need. As she is a qualified veterinary nurse, this is an obvious bonus because we know that she will spot if something is not right and will be on hand to sort it out. Bev also keeps us updated while we are away and you can hear the love and attention she provides. We have no hesitation in recommending her to anyone who wants a professional, caring and friendly ‘mum’ to keep your pampered ones happy while you are away.
Honey has a fabulous time with Bev and Flora (and the rest of the gang) Bev provides a caring service with excellent communication and is flexible with our working hours. We have used HPP for boarding as well and it is reassuring knowing Honey has so much fun while we are away. We especially like that Bev only accepts well mannered and sociable dogs. Would highly recommend and we intend to continue sending Honey to HPP for many years to come!
Highly qualified, very professional dog Walker and carer. Unhappy that we hadn’t used all of the same commands as she uses, for dog training. Has a very small garden. Own dog and our dog just didn’t click? No idea why. So despite having paid lots of money for a holiday we had to then cancel. When we tried to book again we were rejected. Lots of time wasted as we wanted someone for emergencies and dog free occasions like Weddings . Paid for test visits, and accepted. Then when we needed help we had to start searching all over again. I’m disabled and have limited mobility so this was a big problem.
My dog has been going to Happy Pets & Paws for daycare for about 7 years now, and still absolutely loves it. Bev provides a very high quality service and always puts the dogs and their welfare first, all whilst being extremely professional and totally reliable. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her services.
Fantastic service Lesley looked after both our dogs for a week whilst we were on holiday and they had a lovely time. Lesley sent us photos and updates which was a lovely touch. We are going away in September and have booked Lesley happy in the knowledge that our four legged family are loved and cared for. Highly recommend WOOF Taunton
Kind professional expert and competitively priced.
Great services and very flexible.
Jo pops in at lunchtimes when I am working to let my fur babies out and give them a run around. She is very attentive and looks after them like they are her own.......don't know what I would do without her!!!!
Jo is calm, reliable and responsive. I'm happy to trust her with my dog
Lovely place and fantastic venue x
Sharon and her team have looked after both our dogs for several years now. They absolutely love her. Sharon is incredibly reliable, kind and flexible - we’re very lucky to have her support.
Isla LOVES doggy day care, it’s a struggle to get her to leave in the afternoon! Sharon looks after her so well and I know she’s going to have an amazing day when I drop her off!! We won’t use anyone else to look after her now!
Awe…thank you Pat. It was wonderful having Peig. She had such a good time doing zoomies with the other dogs. 😊🐾 …
Saw Emma as was having trouble with my sprocker Rosie pulling and barking at other dogs occasionally when on lead. I felt my anxiety was making her worse. Ema was fantastic and identified straight away, a solution. Emma was reassuring and encouraging. She is fantastic at what she does and I would highly recommend. I am not more confident and can walk Rosie on the lead with no pulling, at heel. I am also more relaxed so she doesn’t pick up on my tension and then react. Thank you so so much.
Emma visited us for a one to one session with our 4 month old pup very recently. Emma was fantastic with both us and our puppy and assisted us with some great foundation training to build upon. I am looking to join Emma's larger training classes and will be booking another one to one session in the near future. Great communication and easy to follow guidance. Thanks Emma :)
Emma has been helping us train our unruly teenage Chihuahua. She is absolutely great with small dogs and very experienced with chi's . Great improvement after one session of directed training with her insights proving invaluable. Her observations helped greatly to train us to train our pup. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone. She has since helped us introduce another puppy to our spicy Chi.
Wonderful dog and rabbit sitter. For the 2nd year running, our dog had several amazing weeks with Emma. I never worry about him at all and he loves socialising and all his walks. Our rabbits were very well looked after as well. Thanks again Emma. Highly recommend
We had Emma visit the house to do a 121 session with our 8 week old cocker pup, Estrella. The info and advice she has given us has been so useful and has really helped Estrella settle in. Emma was very knowledgeable and patient, and we would highly recommend her. So much so that we have booked Estrella on to her 6 week puppy classes.
Review and Recommendation - Puppy Training Emma has been our cat sitter for more years than I can remember. She always gives amazing service, our three cats love her, especially our grumpy old outdoor boy. So there was no hesitation when we finally took the plunge and got a golden retriever puppy. Emma was one of the first people I told as I knew I wanted her expert help to train Charlie to be a very good dog. She was more than happy to help us in any way so we booked in some one to one sessions. Our first lesson was all about Charlie and our grandson (age 4). The puppy tended to jump at my grandson and he was quite nervous about it. Emma explained to my grandson what to do and within two minutes he had the pup sitting at his feet on command waiting for a treat! It was amazing to see, and my grandson's confidence is growing every time they are together. That first hurdle over we then concentrated on more commands, pup has now learned near Recall, Sit, Down, Paw, and best of all Wait. We are working hard on Drop. It's amazing how much the one to one sessions have helped all of us, and it's only been three sessions! Emma's calm way of teaching is great, and she is always very patient with us (sometimes it takes longer for the humans to get it than the dog - he's a smart cookie!) We're looking forward to starting puppy school and socialisation next week! Thanks again, Emma, you have been amazing!
I have previously given Emma a 5 star rating and I will be doing the same today. Emma has continued to walk and board our dog. She is friendly, reliable, great value and our dog adores her! Emma treats all the animals like they are her own.We have had to change around some days a couple of times and Emma has been very accommodating. I would highly recommend Emma to anyone.
We have left our dog with Emma at ES Petcare for holidays for a couple of years now. Emma is lovely and provides an excellent service. She responds quickly to enquires, has really helped us out at short notice and is always professional and timely. There is no doubt Emma really cares for the pets she looks after. My dog comes back happy and healthy and gets very excited whenever Emma comes to the door. Emma takes a detailed history of the pet's preferences, diet and exercise regime and gives detailed feedback. Emma keeps in touch posting comments and photos and which are always reassuring. I have no hesitation in recommending ES Pet Care.
I would highly recommend ES Pet care for boarding dogs. Emma has looked after our two Cockapoo’s during our holidays over the past seven years from when they were young pups. They are always happy to stay with her and Chester & Dylan come home in a very good condition. Emma always provides a very professional service allowing us to relax on our holidays knowing Chester & Dylan are being well looked after.
I have been taking our puppy Hudson to Emma’s 3 group training classes (beginners, intermediate & advance). Over the 18 weeks we have both learned so much and Hudson walks nicely on the lead and we have leant some coping techniques when he decides to have his tantrums! It’s been a great experience and would highly recommend Emma and her classes.
Iain has been looking after our dog since he was a puppy both for day care when we work or for longer periods when we are on holiday. Red loves going to Iain's and we know he is well looked after, safe and happy. Iain has also fed our cats and hens when we have been away. He is reliable, trustworthy and will look after your animals as if they are his own. I would recommend him 100%.
Iain has taken care of our dogs many times. We used others in the past and it was such a relief to find Iain because we know we are leaving Dexter and Spangles with intelligent people who have a great understanding of animals. It is a lovely location for dogs to stay at and it's important for us to feel we have left our dear canine friends with someone we can trust. Highly recommended.
5 stars doesn’t do Jules justice. She’s simply amazing. Calm, professional and trustworthy. Jules really helped out our family when my sister was in hospital by looking after her cat. It was a really stressful time and Jules went above and beyond our expectations by stepping in at short notice, despite being so busy, and calmly taking over. I highly recommend Jules, she’s passionate about animals and is the best, you won’t regret it!
Iain has looked after my horse several times and I have complete confidence in his care and ability. He is very reliable and has had to step at very short notice at times. Going away for a few days is much more relaxing when you have someone like Iain taking care of things at home. Sent from my iPhone
We have used Iain on two occasions now and have two further bookings with him. When we moved to the area I knew that we would have to start again on finding another dog walker and very impressed we have been with the service as well. The most important thing really is the dogs think the world of him. In case your in any doubt I highly recommend Iain and the service he provides.
Since 2013 Iain has walked, or on hot days pottered, with my dog on numbers of occasions, at short and long notice. He is wholly reliable. I know my dog appreciates his visits as much as I do. It is no exaggeration to say that we could not have managed without him. Thanks Iain.
Jules has looked after our cat during the Christmas holidays and I would definitely recommend her. She is very reliable and genuinely cares about your pet. She sends regular updates and pictures which made me feel more at ease. If you need someone to look after your pet you should definitely contact Jules.
Jules of Taunton did a brilliant job of looking after our two very awkward cats. She went above and beyond what would have normally been expected when having to visit our home on numerous occasions for a few days of our holiday, after one of the cats refused to come in. We would have no hesitation in leaving the cats in her care again. She texted us regularly to keep us up to date, ensuring we were at ease knowing they were in safe and caring hands. Brilliant service!!!
Iain and Kathy looked after my dog Holly for many years. She was always happy to go there and see her doggy friends and I felt she was being well looked after in a homely situation. Thoroughly recommended.
I am abnormally attached to my Guinea pigs, more so since one got old and one got sick and I have a big set up with 2 cages due to some rescues not getting along with the big piggies so I was freaking out and not sleeping at the thought of having to leave them for 2 days. Jules didn't even flinch at the strange and over the top things I asked her to do and was so loving and caring towards them that I was only mildly stressing about them when I was away and that was because of my own anxieties. She did everything I asked, sent photos and lots of updates for me and she was so chill about the millions of notes I left for her because I was in a flap before I left. My girls were relaxed when I got home because their routine never changed. I recommend her to anyone who needs a sitter for their pets. She really went over and above for me last week and I actually would feel comfortable leaving them again which is a big thing for me to say because I'm normally at home alone with them for large parts of the day. Thanks Jules for helping me to be a part of my brother's wedding day and my new godson's christening. You made that happen for me so you are a superstar!
So grateful to have found The Country Dog Hotel for our boy. Despite not living close, we knew it was the right place for him & it definitely lived up to our expectations! From being picked up in style, to the daily pics/ vids (can I say almost professional photoshoots!) , to kindly administering his medication, to taking some pics of him to celebrate our wedding day, to having a direct line to Mike & Rebecca, to a goodie bag of homemade biscuits in a beautiful jute bag, to him returning home smelling AMAZING from his pampering session. Thank you so much for taking great care of him ❤️🌟🐾
Our miniature dachshund recently stayed with The Country Dog hotel, he does suffer from separation anxiety so we worried greatly about how he’d get on, but we needn’t have worried, they cared for our pup just like we do. When he was a bit anxious and sick, they had him checked over by their vet just to be on the safe side and kept us constantly updated, he even got to sleep in the human bed…on their heads and had loads of snuggles…he knows how to get what he wants! Nothing was too much trouble for them. We had regular updates, pictures and constant reassurance that our pup was doing great, in fact I think he wishes he could have stayed for longer! He was picked up and dropped back home in style, and even got some home baked dog biscuits with his name on. Thank you to everybody at the country dog hotel for looking after our Ralph and giving him a nice luxury holiday for 5 days and being the best at what you do, we had no doubt that he was cared for, loved and safe throughout his stay.
The Country Dog Hotel is absolutely incredible! Our cocker spaniel Archie was looked after from the moment he got picked up. Becks and Mike are so wonderful, as are all of the staff, and really make it feel like Archie is staying with family. They offer an amazing service and I couldn’t recommend it highly enough! It is all of the little touches that really show how much passion the team has - from all of the photos and videos you get sent, the spa treatments in a roll top bath, to the personalised home made biscuits he came home with! If you’re going on holiday, there is no place like it to know that your dog will be treated like part of a family!
Our labradoodle, Milo, recently had a VIP vacation at The Country Dog Hotel. I was worried about him staying as he does suffer with some anxiety from being away from us, but he had a splendid time and really enjoyed his 5* lifestyle. Nothing was too much trouble and I received lots of photos and updates from Mike to put my mind at rest. He had such a fantastic time that all he has done is sleep since! Milo will definitely be back for a stay in the future as I know his every need will be catered for and he will have so many amazing adventures. I highly recommend The Country Dog Hotel to any dog owner as it’s a home away from home experience.
Our dog Duffy had a wonderful stay here! Love seeing her smile in each photo. She enjoyed so many different fun activities there and even had a spa day! It’s good to have such a nice dog hotel and to know our beloved dog is in good hands. Can’t recommend highly enough!
Well picked our dog up last night and all he did was pine on the way home. I dont think he wanted to leave after 21 days. He looks healthier than when we dropped him off! Had regular updates while on holiday. Thank you for looking after him
After long and tedious searches to have our little girl whilst we were away we were so fortunate to find the Country Dog Hotel, Rebecca, Mike and the Team were absolutely fabulous and so professional. On our arrival we felt so happy and relaxed that Bella was staying at this amazing doggy hotel, it has the most idyllic surroundings for your loved one to be exercised and meet new friends whilst out on their daily walks. We received daily videos from the team which again gave us the reassurance that Bella was having a fabulous time and looked so happy. We would certainly recommend the hotel and Bella will be returning. Many Thanks Steve & Sue Bailey
Our dog Bunty had a lovely stay here. She came back happy and settled into her normal routine straight away. She also had the Indulgence Spa treatment and she looked amazing. I can't thank Rebecca and Mike and the rest of their wonderful team enough. They are so professional and friendly and I highly recommend this hotel for your dog's holiday you won't be disappointed.🥰
Betsy had the best time on her holiday at The Country Dog Hotel, it was so reassuring to leave her with Rebecca & Mike who are clearly passionate about providing the best service and care to our best friends. Could not recommend them enough. Thank you from Betsy & her family xx
You guys took such good care of our Bulldog! Thank you for daily photos which was very reassuring. Love her going home goodie bag! She had a great time!
Tash is an exceptional pet carer and I can’t recommend her enough. My family all go away on a boat for 3 weeks in the summer and I then care for 3fishtanks, 2 dogs, 2cats and 3 guinea pigs across 3 households in 2 different areas. It gets a bit much but Tash came to my rescue this summer and it made a huge difference.She covered the guinea pig + cat household for 2 of the weeks and the care she gave to the animals was flawless. She cleaned out the elaborate guinea pig city 3 times, even bringing her own hoover to leave it all pristine. She also cared for the 2 dogs a couple of times to give me days out, and she was kind and responsive towards them. You can trust Tash to take good care of your lovely household, which is a huge weight off your mind.
If you need animals cared for, ask Tash. I took a chance and asked her to look after our chickens. No hesitation, of course I will. Already booked her again for next years holiday. You'll struggle to find anyone better, as she is so cheerful and bubbly. We had no concerns leaving her in charge, and she also watered some plants for us as well. Put simply, I cannot recommend Tasha highly enough. If your pets are in her care, they couldn't be safer.
Having disabilities, I rely on Tash to give me a break twice a week and treat Lily to a good energetic walk out of Taunton and a good game of ball, which she loves and I can't always manage. Tash is always coming up with new places for Lily to explore and she can't wait to go out with her and is always full of life when she comes home. Seeing Lily happy and loving life means the world to me too.
I go on holiday with complete peace of mind knowing Tash looks after our cat, Misty. She can be quite shy around people, but has taken to Tash really well and I get pics to prove it while I am away, which is lovely. She takes time to feed her and make a fuss of her. It is also great to get the extra reassurance that someone is keeping an eye on our home while we are away. 😻👌
Tash has looked after my Bonnie on several occasions now and she is amazing! Bonnie has the best time, the regular updates and pics of her adventures are also super helpful. Nothing is too much trouble with Tash, would high recommend!
Found Tasha to be knowledgeable, caring, passionate and completely relaxed with our Sydney. Which put him and us at ease. Sydney loves the attention she gives him and he thinks he's found a new friend. Completely trust Tasha with our Sydney and would highly recommend.
Highly recommend, been using Tash for a while now and she's amazing! She's fantastic with our energetic collie, he always comes home fully worn out! Very reliable and excellent value for money. Such a lovely person as well, cannot fault her.
100% recommend Tash absolutely amazing with my fur children. They absolutely love her to bits. She’s always very polite and friendly & you really can see her love for animals.
Jack Jack loves his time with Louisa and Luna, especially the fun he has playing with new friends. Louisa's knowledge of all things dog related is amazing. She has made Jack's transition to the UK seamless. We are very grateful that we can go away knowing that Jack is loved and cared for, and having a wonderful holiday too. Thank you, Nic, Steve, Harry and Jack ;-)
Our Cockapoo Ruby is definitely a happy pet. She boards a few times a year with Louisa & we have total peace of mind that she is being loved as much there as she would be with us. A great service.
Louisa is absolutely wonderful with our dog. Despite his separation anxiety, he is always excited stay with her, and comes back very happy. He has extra needs having diabetes, but Louisa still gives him a lovely holiday home to go to!
Nova 🐾 has been staying at Happy Pets Home Boarding since she was a young puppy and she really does seem to see it as her second home. It is wonderful to be able to go away, without any stress, knowing she is happy and cared for in safe and experienced hands. 🙏 …
Dottie met Louisa last year and it was love at first sight. Such a homely environment and Dottie was welcomed and settled in straight away. We didn't spend any time wondering if Dottie was okay as well got updates throughout the day and were all booked in again this year. We can't thank Louisa and Luna for being so welcoming
Louise is fantastic and Benji loves coming to stay he never wants to come home. Picture updates are always so so sweet. Highly recommend. Thank you Louisa and Luna
Very lovely ladies who have my pets best interest at all times. Fantastic service, price & care given to my dog along with a lovely personal touch of photo updates throughout the stay. Highly recommend as it’s a home from home for my lovely girl!.😊 …
