Dog Sitters in The Sands

Zoe and Adam looked after our two guinea pigs whilst we went on holiday for two weeks. The service was excellent and exactly what we needed. Would highly recommend.

I have used The Ark Home & Pet Care a couple of times now and I have been so pleased with the level of care my two cats received while I was away. Each day I looked forward to the photos and message I was sent - very reassuring that all was ok back home! Adam even watered the plants, took in the post and feed the garden birds. Nothing is too much trouble. Zoe was great at replying to any emails I sent. Both are very friendly and I would highly recommend them to anyone who needs top quality pet care while away!

We were really pleased to have The Ark Pet and Home Care look after our home and cat whilst we went away for the week. Perfect service, could not ask for more- even last minute requests such as watering the Brussels sprouts were attended to. It was a relief to know that our home and moggy were in safe hands whilst we were away, and meant that we could enjoy our break away all the more. Will definitely use again and will recommend to my friends and neighbours.

What a service! We always have worried about leaving our many pets, 4 cats and 4 Guinea Pigs, with people we don’t know. But we found this company run by a local couple. Worry no more. They came round and took some detailed notes, getting to know the quirks of the animals and which is which. They even sent us pictures of the animals and updates on which cats they saw etc. We even had 2 guinea pigs in isolation from the others, this wasn’t an issue at all. Well done and thank you. Not just from us, but from our small zoo too.

Amazing. Absolutely perfect for what we needed. They are friendly, a good price and followed my instructions brilliantly. Took great care of our 4 guinea pigs and 4 cats. Cannot praise them enough. 🥰

Great service, looked after our cat & guinea pigs while we were on holiday and would recommend.

I have been using Clip & care for many years, we found Sharon after our vets had 3 people supporting trying to cut our pugs claws. Sharon has been amazing and can cut her claws without anyone else needed. Providing a calm grooming environment. Sharon ensures that you have plenty of notice for your next groom if you want a regular slot like we do. Wouldn't want to use anyone else

I have known Sharon for longer than I care to think! She looked after our dotty Dalmatian over Christmas a few years ago as though he was one of her own much-loved dogs. I would have no hesitation in recommending her services as she is a true dog lover.

I have known Sharon at Clip & Care for many years as she has looked after our Westie on many occasions, mostly when weve been on holiday. I know she has a good time as she never wants to come home! Thoroughly recommended.

I have known Sharon for many years and her love of dogs and all animals shines through. Sharon is trustworthy and reliable and your dog is in good professional hands. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.

If you are ever in need of a groomer or board for your beloved pooch, Sharon's the person to call! She's looked after our two fur babies and they always come back looking handsome after their groom. Would highly recommend!

My Dogs love spending time with Sharon and her dogs - they never seem to want to come home! I love the fact they can stay, play and get groomed all at the same time - I would recommend using Clip & Care in Farnham.

Excellent dog grooming and boarding care. Highly recommend this business. Sharon’s love of dogs is second to none, her grooming is great value for money and dogs and their owners are always dealt with in a highly professional way.

I first met the Spellers when we bought one of their beautiful Westie pups back in 2002 and I remember being worried that we’d booked a months holiday to Australia for later that year but Sharon soon put my mind at ease by offering to have him back to stay with his mum & sister! We never looked back and over the years he was groomed and has boarded with them happily. Unfortunately he’s no longer with us so I’m now looking for a Cockapoo pup for Sharon to ‘clip and care’ for!! Sandra A

I have only ever left my precious Westie with Sharon when we go on long holidays. Once I left her over her birthday and I got a delightful photo of her being presented with a doggy birthday cake!! The only downside is when I go to collect her she is goes into a full on grump as I know she’s had so much fun staying there!! Highly recommended x

Always use sharon for looking after my dogs! I will never go to anyone else, I now arrange any holidays around whether sharon can have my pups. They love going to her and not sure they actually want to come home! Brilliant service 10/10

Absolutely excellent doggy day care, Laura does a fantastic job and we feel totally at ease with her looking after our dog

We have been using Laura and Marvins Motel for a few years now to take care of our Ralph, he has stayed from a simple overnight to a few weeks, we’re always at ease knowing he’s going to be looked after and we’re kept updated accordingly ! Lovely place for the dogs to play and he’s right at home there ! Very professional with everything asked or managed like you would expect ! Would definitely recommend!

My dog is always SO excited to go and has the best time while she is there. She is very well looked after and I feel comfortable leaving her there. It is very well run and always welcoming.

Home from home of happy sausages.

IMy name is Dexter the pug and I love going to see Maria whilst my mum goes to work to pay for my treats. I’m 13 years old and I’ve been going since I was a young pup, I love to chill out with my friends. Sometimes my mum and dad go holiday and Maria looks after me. She really is my second mum and I love her very much. Mum said she would recommend Maria’s doggy day care as it’s the best

Maria's dog daycare has been a game-changer for our Westie puppy, Errol. From day one, it's clear Maria's love for dogs is more than just a job—it's her passion. She connects with every dog, making them feel special and loved. Errol needed socialization and exercise, and Maria’s patient, caring approach has been perfect. She tailors her care to each dog's personality, and Errol has a blast every time. He’s come home happier, more confident, and better socialized since attending her daycare. Maria’s care gives us peace of mind, knowing Errol is in great hands. We couldn’t be happier!

My dog has been going to Doggy Day Care with Maria and Sam for almost five years now. He's always very excited to go and see his friends in the morning and very happy and tired when he gets home in the afternoon! Really appreciate Maria's responsiveness and flexibility in arranging days each week and the boarding service has been a great help too for when I'm away. Would recommend!

My German Shepherd has been going here for over a year and we couldn't be happier! She always gets so excited when Maria comes to collect her and comes back exercised and happy. I couldn't recommend this day care more highly! 🌟🌟🌟

Our doggy Lola has been going to Maria for 4 years and loves it! Maria is always very flexible with changes we need to make and we have a great two way communication level. The dog is always exhausted when she gets home and Maria is more than happy to drop her in and collect when we're not able to get the door too! Plus Maria herself is lovely and always good for a doorstep chinwag on collection and drop off too!

Franklin loves going to Doggy Day Care. He's been with Maria since we got him in Jan 2020. He is a Romanian rescue and is very nervous of strangers, Maria was great with him and he soon trusted her. He always comes back tired from "doggy school" (as we call it). Franklin is our second dog to be entrusted into Maria's care. She is so accommodating if I need to change or add a day, I cannot recommend her highly enough. Your dog will be well looked after and loved as if it's her own.

We struggled to find daycare for our small dog who also offered dog boarding and treated him with the care he deserved. Maria was professional and truly cares about Milo, he is always pleased to stay with her and is nice and tired when he gets home after a day playing and socializing. We have used Maria for many years and look forward to many more.

My dog Gus has been going to Doggy Daycare for over 3 years. He is always so excited when Maria comes to collect him in the mornings and he comes home tired from playing and exploring. Maria is so good with him and very accommodating. I highly recommend Doggy Daycare!

I have been using Doggy Day Care for over 3 years now, first with one of our black Labradors, Bruce, and then his half-brother Hector. The Rowdy Boys, as they as known, can be sound asleep on the morning that Maria calls for them, and as soon as they hear the van come into our street, they are awake, excited and at the door ready to go. My main aim was that I wanted the boys to socialise with other dogs and that is being achieved on a weekly basis. I have nothing but full praise for Maria and Doggy Day Care. The boys always come home very happy but totally shattered! Maria is a lovely caring person who has the dog’s best interests, care and welfare at heart. I would totally recommend Maria and Doggy Day Care to anyone who is thinking sending their dogs to ‘school’!

We have been using Maria for nearly 10 years and Olly absolutely adores her. He waits by the door on the days he goes and can’t wait to get in the van. Maria is so lovely with him and nothing is too much trouble for her. As we now work from home we don’t really need the service but Olly enjoys it so much we have continued. I would definitely recommend.

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

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

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

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

Waggy Walks 4 Dogs is a true home from home. Our frenchy loves his daycare visits , and boarding holidays there. He couldn’t be in safer hands & Vicky treats him like one of her own. The care and attention to his very specific needs is incredible , along with Vicky’s superb knowledge , love and dedication to all dogs in her care. I highly recommend. 5*

Vicky is amazing with dogs and is highly reliable and trustworthy. I use her services for day care and boarding and my dog loves it. Communication is great and I always get photos and videos. There aren’t many people I trust to look after my dog but with Vicky I always know he’s in safe hands. Would highly recommend.

Vicky offers an amazing home boarding and day care service. She looks after all the dogs in our family and they really enjoy their stay. It’s wonderful to be able to have a holiday and not have to worry about your pup while you’re away. I love seeing all the photos Vicky posts too. Thank you Vicky.

Absolutely excellent! I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my dog. A wonderful home from home & a fun, safe & comfortable retreat that my pup loves to visit. Vicky takes the dogs on enriching walks & spends quality time playing with, training & loving each dog & treats them as part of her family. I always receive regular updates & wonderful photos when my dog is boarding which gives me total peace of mind. A wonderful service that I am incredibly grateful for.

We could not recommend Vicky and Paul enough, there is no one else we would trust to look after our Italian Greyhound. Vicky treats our iggy with the same love, care and attention we would at home. Her support, advice and help has been greatly appreciated. Looking after our dog from a very excited puppy to a now much calmer (albeit particular!) 4 year old! They’ve always been there for us when we needed them and gone above and beyond for our dog who we miss terribly when she isn’t with us, but we know she is safe and in a home away from home with a good routine.

Vicky is amazing. Without her help, knowledge and wealth of experience I wouldn’t have done so well in getting my 4 star rating for my doggy daycare and boarding business. Vicky is professional but also really lovely. I’m so glad I called her to ask one simple question when I first started. She may not be so pleased about the gazillion amount of questions I’ve asked her since 🤣 Thank you Vicky xxx

Vicky @waggy walks is amazing, winnie has been going for 3.5 years for both day care and boarding. She is always so excited to go and always happy when she comes back. I get regular updates and photos. Thank you for everything you do for her. I would highly recommend her to anyone xx

Absolutely fantastic company. Vicky takes such good care of my whippet when we go on holiday and it gives such peace of mind knowing he is so happy and well taken care of. I love the regular updates we receive and he gets on brilliantly with her dogs. Vicky really does provide a home from home service and he is treated like one of her family when he stays. Cannot recommend Waggy Walks 4 Dogs highly enough.

My dog has been going here for nearly a few years now. It started as someone to look after the dog on occasions when we were away but he loves it so much he goes every week. I can't recommend this Waggy Walks 4 Dogs any higher. We would be lost without them. Great value for money Amazing service Dogs love it Fully licensed Complete trust in them

Vicky is just wonderful! Not only are her packs absolutely fantastic and helped me get through my application and inspection immensely but every step of the way she has been there for support in so many ways. I couldn’t have done so well with my paperwork without her and the pride I had showing my inspector was because of her and the knowledge and confidence that her pack and guidance provided. 100% recommend! Rating of the highest standard! *****

Paws on paws

Thank you for your review.

Helen at Walks & Whiskers is wonderful, we are so grateful to have found her a few years ago, our dog loves her walks every day! Helen is so caring and we feel totally comfortable that our dog will be well looked after whilst out with her.

Helen from Walks & Whiskers has been fantastic in helping look after Bryn, our small but determined Border Terrier. We regularly use walking services and have found Walks & Whiskers to be very flexible when it comes to our working arrangements which change on a weekly basis. We receive frequent updates on how Bryn's walks with his canine friends have gone, and are happy knowing he's out of the house to enjoy himself when we can't be there. There's absolutely no hesitation at all in recommending Walks & Whiskers!

Helen has looked after my animals for me many times and I always feel confident that they are well looked after, it is lovely to have that peace of mind when I go away.

I highly recommend Jo and her walking service, she's been fantastic with our spaniel who had some reactivity issues. Jo made sure our boy was compatible and comfortable with the other dogs in the group and gave us updates and advice which was very appreciated!

Fantastic dog walking service. Our dog Lola absolutely loved Jo and the walks they went on. Jo walked Lola every day for two weeks whilst we were away. Very reliable and caring of Lola. Lola is a strong dog. Jo kept us updated with lovely pictures which was wonderful. Strongly recommend Jo.

I have an older husky X and younger rescue dog who Jo walks twice a week for me. She is responsible and reliable and they get very get excited when she comes to collect them. She took the time to get to know their personalities and makes sure if they are walked with others that they will all get along. Would definitely recommend her !

First time using a kennels and got to say couldn't be happier. my dog went in with no issues got updates and photos of him while he was there honestly no issues collection went with out any issues. amazing place and amazing staff :)

A really good kennel experience for our dog. We have a German Shepherd who is always well looked after and has no fear of staying. We have used the kennels twice now and would highly recommend it. She received individual care when she got over excited due to being surrounded by other dogs.

I cannot commend Jo enough. She is wonderful person and takes such care of all the dogs under her charge. I am deeply saddened to hear that Five Acres will be no more. Our entire family wish Jo the very best of luck and we hope that she and the team find somewhere else to continue doing what they care about so much.

Due to unforeseen circumstances my dog had to go to Five acres twice in 4 weeks. I thought he would resist going up to the kennels on the second occasion but he trotted up very happily. Each time we collected him he was happy and in good condition. The kennels coped with giving him his daily medication and keeping him on his restricted diet, which he happily ate whilst staying there. The kennels are also kept very clean, no smells when we have visited.

Our cat feels comfortable and calm here with it's relaxed and quiet atmosphere. Great service that is flexible and caring, they spend plenty of time with your pet too, giving them lots of attention. Would highly recommend. P.s. They also send pictures of your pet too, if you want

The team at Five Acres are superb! We dropped off our two little ones for a 13 day stay and they were treated very well! Jo and her team are clear animal lovers and provided excellent service to us and our dogs! We would be happy to use them again next time we go on holiday. The only downside is that they were a little inflexible with drop off and pick up times, but only a minor problem. Still 5 STARS!

I have used Five acres for 10years + and i wouldn't send my dogs anywhere else. They treat your pets like their own, lots of love, treats and a kick about with a football! Its like a holiday for my dogs and they come home happy.
