Ann was extremely helpful both before during and after the sit, with information of things to do around the local area, picking me up and taking me back o the station and shopping. Ann also kept in constant communication with matters arising during the stay. The house is large with all amenities and close to the city and transport. The cats were pretty independan and really just needed feeding and cleaning
Absolutely delightful place to stay in Eugene. This little farm is so special. The house and accommodations are lovely, the pets are so sweet and the hosts are so welcoming and chill. We loved staying here with our baby, getting to hang out with the sweetest dog and cat, chickens and goats. Hope to be back soon!
It was an absolute pleasure to sit for Ruth and Bonnie in their amazing house. Bonnie is one of the cutest and most affectionate cats we have sat for and it takes no time at all for her to get to know new people. The house itself is stunning and amazingly situated to explore St Albans by foot, something we really enjoyed doing. We would recommend that should you get the opportunity to sit for Ruth, you grab it with both hands.

Willow has been going to Flo for just over 2 years now and I know 100% that my precious princess is in the best hands in torbay! Flo specialises in small dogs and in my opinion that gives me more confidence to leave my little dog as I know Flo has complete control over her charges. Flo has had willow, ranging from a day for doggy day care, many one, 2 or more night overnight stays, to over a week whilst I went across the pond to the USA. Flo takes time to know her little guests and knowing a dog and all their quirky individual ways takes time. Each dog is different, as are humans. Flo has definitely made an imprint on not only willow's little heart, but mine also.
We are so pleased we have found Florence in a Torquay. Our Border Terrier loves staying at hers and meeting the other dogs. We can go away worry free knowing Oti is in brilliant hands. Thanks Florence!
I was very disappointed with this lady. I called to ask if she had any availability for my dog over Christmas and she raised her voice and said you can't leave your dog with someone last minute and then hung up the phone. My mother has just passed away and we're dealing with some very difficult family circumstances hence the need for last minute dog boarding. Florence's rudeness was uncalled for when she didn't even take the time to hear our personal circumstances, and I now feel even more upset. I think Florence ought to be more considerate when speaking to potential clients and not make judgements and jump to conclusions. I've never had any professional person speak to me so rudely or hang up the phone like that
Florence Bonneau is a woman of many talents. As well as working as a French translator and proof-reader she is a great teacher. I have been enjoying private French lessons with her for three years and my fluency has improved enormously thanks to her skill and enthusiasm. An added bonus for me - as a dog-lover - is that her home is also a dog hotel and I often get an extra tail-wagging welcome from her four-legged clients. Florence is a meticulous housekeeper; the dogs have their own separate quarters and everywhere is always fresh and spotlessly clean.
Florence always looks after Milo when we are away he loves his holidays with her.
Florence was incredibly kind and helpful, she saw me the same day. I couldn’t recommend her enough.
Excellent tutor, warm and welcoming. Highly recommend.
Hazy Days Pet care, looked after our two house Rabbits Pepsi and Shirlie. We felt very comfortable, happy and safe. Everything was done like we'd discussed. The rabbits seemed calm. They bonded with Lorna, which was fab! We felt our house was looked after too. Highly recommended. We will definitely be using the same service again soon. 😊
Lorna did an amazing job, looking after Muffin during our wedding. She made sure muffin was happy thought out. Would highly recommend very good with the dogs and friendly.
Lorna travelled internationally to care for our cat. We highly recommend her for her skilled approach, kindness, empathy, knowledge and experience in taking exceptional care of her. Her daily updates were very much appreciated, excellent communication throughout. Our Siamese was delighted and happy to have such a gentle, responsible and caring guardian in our absence, and it showed. Thank you.
As a fellow dog walker myself. I often see Lorna out on walks with her clients dogs, & if I felt in anyway she was not capable of controlling or having any dogs safe whilst in her care. I would not put one of my own clients dogs in her care while I am on maternity leave. She has a kind nature to her, & every dog she has with her shows how much they adore her. Highly recommended.
Fantastic service, Lorna is qualified and experienced, but above all she is passionate and had the best interest of my pets at heart. Nothing was too much trouble. Great value, trustworthy and reliable. I noted one negative review on Google , this is a million miles away from my experience and as someone who has over 15 years experience teaching Animal Science I can vouch for Lorna's knowledge and competence.
Lorna recently looked after my two cats Talis and Luca and she was brilliant. Very professional and caring. Having not left my cats before with someone I did not know, I was a bit nervous but after meeting her before I went away I felt very confident as it was obvious that she loves animals. Would definitely recommend her and will use her again.
I am keen to express my thanks to Lorna who kindly supported me last week when my normal dog walker was quite unwell and my husband working away and myself full time working, I was in a state of panic for Smartie and his dog walks. Lorna was able to pick up Smartie walks from the day I contacted her. Smartie came back a very happy pup. He really enjoyed his walks and especially when with other dogs of Hazy Days Lorna was professional, came to pick up Smartie when she said she would and just lovely to meet. You could tell that Lorna really cares for the dogs she walked and more importantly Smartie was always bouncing to get out of the door to get to Lorna when she arrived. Overall I cannot state enough how great Lorna was and would highly recommend. Thank you Lorna for your help last week and I wish you all the very best with your dog walking business.
Lorna is gentle, calm, focused on your animals well-being and obviously knowledgeable about animal behaviour and welfare. She walks my big labrador and he adores his walks with her. I trust her with a key to my home and even more valuable my dog. She is flexible with times and days, easy to arrange dates with and Merli comes back happy and tired after a run around with his best friend. Choosing her for dog walking was a great choice.
I visited Torbay and needed my Dalmatian walked as I had a meeting he couldn’t attend with me. I’m a fellow dog walker in another area of the country and I was blown away by Lornas service. She is absolutely amazing, my boy loved her. She’s highly knowledgeable, professional and anyone can clearly see she truly loves dogs. Highly recommend!
Launa has just looked after my cats whilst I was away for a few days……my boys are very timid but Launa was amazing with them they were very happy and very well cared for. She’s so in tune with both the animals needs and their owners anxiety’s. I would highly recommend her services.
Our dog has been going to Animals at home Torbay for a few years. Very happy with everything they do. We use them for daycare & boarding. We feel very at ease when we are away that she is looked after like one of the family. Highly recommend.
Our cat Rosemarie needed some dentistry doing in Newton Abbot. Richard arranged for Liam to take her in the pet ambulance and quite frankly the service was first class! I can't thank you both enough for what would have been a difficult day. I'd give you six stars if I could! Recommended!
Would highly recommend. We have been using their services for many years to take care of our cats and have always been very happy with their services. After recently losing the last of our two cats they were very compassionate and helpful in making a difficult time just a little bit easier. Once we decide to take on another pet we will be looking forward to using their services once again with no hesitation. Thank you to the whole team.
Alfie and Bailey loved their stay and would have stayed longer but we dragged them back home. Excellent service. Couldn't be more pleased! Strongly recommend and will definitely use again! Many thanks Richard and Debbie. Steve and Beatrice Kaye, Paignton.
Have not left my rabbits much before as I have quite a few and they can get very stressed quickly but left them with Richard and Debbie and have come home to very calm happy rabbits, would definitely use them again and definitely recommend this couple.
'Animals At Home' in Paighton is the perfect home-from-home for our Poppy to stay. Debbie & Richard are both professional and caring and Poppy adores them! She has made a number of playmates and is in love with Alfie. 💘 …
Great service and reasonable. Looked after my cat in his own home. Didn't have to stress him out going to a cattery and knew he was being cared for. Will definitely use again.
Wonderful place where my dog goes when I'm on holiday. They are so nice and I don't think he wants to come home!!
Very goof
Very professional Service & very kind
Great service, took care of my dog while I was on holiday. Highly recommended!
Great service! We love the small group walks!
I can`t recommend Rose Pet Care highly enough - I`ve known Rosie for several years; she`s very passionate about animals, kind and loving and will take the responsibility of your pet`s welfare very seriously.
Quality service 👌 nice to meet someone who love animals as much as me !
Gemma is fantastic! She takes excellent care of my cats, is patient and kind, and always updates me promptly. Highly recommended!
Gemma is an absolute god send when it comes to our boy Oscar! Oscar has been walking with Gemma for just under a year and I have found her reliable, professional and a real dog lover. Oscar has previously been some what challenging for other walkers but Gemma has reassured me that by working together we get the consistency and commitment that Oscar needs. When I get home Oscar is clearly well exercised and enjoying his nap after his walks. Communication is great and Gemma is very accommodating if we need to change days around due to work commitments. High recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️
I can’t speak highly enough of Gemma. If I were more organised, I would have written a review months ago. My dog adores her and she’s professional, loving and cares for all dogs as if they were her own. I trust Gemma implicitly and feel such relief that my beloved retriever is having such fun when I can’t walk her. It’s brilliant for socialising too. A pup’s play date! Thank you for everything Gemma!
Its lovely to know that while I'm at work our dog Arlo is out having the time of his life with Gemma. Gemma is extremely reliable, trustworthy and fantastic value for money as Arlo gets an adventure everyday! The thing thats strikes me most about Gemma is how much she genuinely cares for him and all of her dogs and clients. I could not recommend her highly enough.
My dog loves Gemma so much, she squeals with delight when Gemma collects her. Gemma is also lovely, reliable and I feel very happy to leave my dog in her care.
Gemma loves the dogs she walks like her own family. I only have to mention her name and my dog is racing to the window to look for her. Her professionalism, patience and love of dogs is why I can feel safe whenever my dog is with her and I am able to highly recommend her.
So pleased to have found Gemma for my pup Smartie. She came and did a house visit to meet Smartie and chat to me. She then started taking smartie out with other dogs from a young pup and he has just come on leaps and bounds. Well socialised and very responsive to recall. He comes back having had just the best time. When he sees Gemma through the door he cannot get to her fast enough, he just adores her. Gemma is reliable and takes the upmost care of her charges I highly recommend her services.
Gemma is fabulous! Her passion for dogs was very apparent on her 1st meeting my young goldendoodle. They go on a wide variety of walks and I love it when i get photos of their expeditions. When I’m on a long day at work it’s great knowing my dog is having a fun time.Thank you Gemma!
Gemma is great with our 5 month old Bertie. She looks after him with so much care and love. Bertie has a great time every day with Wildwood walkies. Would thoroughly recommend Gemma for dog walks.
Gemma is amazing in every way. Mika our puppy has been walked by her from 3months and loves her time with her. We would not use anyone else.
I cannot thank Sarah for looking after my Archie my little 22 month old JackShu. He has loved going out with his pack on a Thursday. Sarah is very trustworthy and even brings in my parcels!! Archie will miss her very much xx
Sarah is absolutely brilliant with our big buff head golden retriever. He completely adores her and loves his adventure walks with her and her little pack. She is also completely trustworthy and has done house sitting here for us too, also looking after our nervous rescue cat and leaving the place in a far better state than when she arrived! Cannot recommend or thank her enough ❤️
Sarah is outstanding. Such a kind and caring person who is really thoughtful. Always fully prepared for all eventualities. The highlight for me is she brought 4 dogs (mine & my daughter’s) to my wedding so they could be in the photos. It was absolutely amazing and made my day. She dressed them in their wedding outfits and helped the photographer to take memorable photos. Sarah is reliable and trustworthy. Can’t recommend her highly enough.
Having moved to the area we needed to find a new cat sitter (which I was quite nervous about following a bad experience with another company). Sarah was great with our older, quite timid cat. She sent photos daily to reassure us she was ok, gave her medication and even watered our plants. I absolutely trusted her with the house and our much loved cat and will be using her again when we next go on holiday.
Cannot thank you enough for helping us out with our French bulldog coco! We recently went away to Florida and our frenchie was staying at my father in laws house! Being away for a few weeks meant that she would need regular walks and exercise ! I came across Sarah and I’m so glad that we did! We had regular updates and photos and she gave coco the best walks! Really put our minds at ease whilst we was away! It’s the first time we have ever left her too! Thank you so much Sarah and we will be back for sure! Found someone who will always be able to help us out with coco!
Sarah has been walking our dog for the last 18 months, she has been incredibly flexible, friendly and professional throughout. I often receive photos or video of her walks, which is really lovely. Would highly recommend.
Sarah is amazing and a life saver. She has looked after my two dogs in my home a few times now. She is so good with them and they love to see her, I get photo updates when I am away and I trust her with my dogs and in my home. I highly recommend her.
Sarah looked after our cockapoo Sid on my daughter’s wedding day and did a fantastic job including arranging a super photo with the bride and groom and being lovely with all the guests and family she met. Sid seemed really happy with her. We’d like our daughter to do the whole day again and would definitely want Sarah back for that! Highly recommended.
Sarah has walked our doggie for a number of months now and I rated her very highly. Professional, polite and gentle sums up Sarah. Always willing to help out if there is a change of plan and easy to contact. We will miss her in Cornwall and she will be Devon's gain.
Highly recommend Sarah she is so lovely and has been a real godsend to our family. We're a busy working family and I work shifts that often change. Sarah has been so accommodating with last minute changes and requests. My cockerpoo loves her too
My sisters Cockatiel had to be looked after due to major works on her property. These people went above and beyond to help and look after Joey total animal lovers and I would not hesitate to leave any pet in their care they are totally amazing thank you for everything you did to help
