Marion and Christian took great care of our two Golden Retrievers. We invited them to stay a few extra days with us to experience Alaska without the "burden" to care for our dogs. That turned out to be a true blessing since I had to leave early due to a family emergency. Marion and Christian are very flexibel and even cooked dinner for my husband while I was gone. The both are very organized and thorough, took our dogs on walks every day , played with them, and sent updates on a regular base. We felt very comfortable knowing they took care of our dogs and house. I can highly recommend them!
Ebanehita was great! We had a video call before her sit to chat. Throughout the sit, she was super communicative, kept the place clean, & kept us updated on how the pups were doing. She was great about sending us pics/vids of the pups as well! We would love to have her back anytime.

My funny, very elderly Ragdoll Cat was looked after by Amy's colleague, Kim while I was away for a week visiting family. Kim visited us to get to know Moet & me, prior to my departure, which was essential, comforting & much appreciated. Photos were sent to me twice a day, showing her totally relaxed in different poses & rooms all over the house, so I could tell she was being looked after with expert care, love & sensitivity & Kim sent the sweetest conversational messages with each photo. Thank you so much for providing an excellent service.
Honestly can’t recommend these guys enough! Amy has been incredibly helpful, flexible and knowledgeable from the first moment we contacted her. John, Nina, Kim and Beth are FANTASTIC with our Chow Chow. A breed many wouldn’t want to handle or work with. The patience and understanding they all show towards him (he can be very stubborn and challenging at times) is second to none. They have helped look after him since he was a pup and they have never let us down. They send videos every day of his walks, and take the best care of him. Keep up the great work guys we couldn’t manage without you! And you are the highlight of Bjørns day!
As a neurotic owner of much loved fur babies, I was terrified about leaving them to go on holiday. One of my dogs has some separation anxiety but it would seem my anxiety was more extreme. However, this was soon eliminated when the video and photo daily updates were coming through from John. This showed me that my babies were happy and actually having their own holiday. After a few days I was able to relax and know they were fine. My girls had such a great time with John I continued to book weekly walks so they could continue to see him. Future trips are already booked with the knowledge John will be there to care for the girls. Thanks 😊
Thank you We have just returned from a weeks holiday and we cannot thank John and Nina enough for the love and care they give Eric when we are away. We have used this service probably 4 times and it is such a relief to go away and not worry about Eric. He loves John and Nina and so is very relaxed and happy with them. Because of this we can enjoy our break without any worries. We get regular videos of Eric, which always makes us smile. I would have no hesitation in recommending John and Nina for pet sitting, your pet and home couldn't be in safer hands xx
John and Amy were great at helping us organise a dog walk so we could wander round the Eden project without worry. Met us at Eden project and dropped the dog back off there which was very convenient. Our pup seemed to have a very nice time, especially as he'd not met John before, but he put him at ease and when they came back they were fast friends. Would definitely use again when in the area
Thank you Kim for the care of Kizzy during our long Holiday. Kizzy looked happy & well from the photos sent to us, very much appreciated. We returned to a happy 😺 cat. We will definitely be happy to use this service again. …
Amy and John were fantastic! We were isolating and needed my boys to have a good run, Amy was more than accomodating arranging a walk with John next day! The boys had a fab time, as was seen by the on their back snoozes for the rest of the evening with snoring 😉 definitely recommend and will use again! …
Had a fantastic consultation with Amy. Our bulldog was becoming a bit of a handful. She told us lots of ways to get him on track & they are all really working. We have to put the work in now. Excellent service
Fantastic service from Kay and Amy. Murphy well looked after while we went to Eden Project. He had a great beach walk while we looked around the Biomes. Thank you 😊 …
Very friendly, useful service that I will use again if in the area.
I have just picked up my two Russian dwarf hamsters Willow and Peach after a weeks stay with Helen and her family and would highly recommend her for pet sitting. She went out of her way to make sure that my hamsters were well looked after and reassured me they were ok with updates when I needed them. They have both loved their stay with her and were very happy to be in her care. When we next go away on holiday I will definitely be using Helen again.
I was over the moon to hear about Doggies Day Out. I left my puppy Wilson with them while I went away for a week and I couldn't have asked for better care for him. To go away and know your dog is being treated like one of the family allowed me to relax and enjoy myself knowing that he was having a great time too. I would not hesitate in recommending Helen and her understanding, caring nature. Wilson loved her - I think he would have liked to stay for a second week!
We left our puppy Kobe with Helen for 4 nights and he was looked after superbly! We had regular texts and photos while we were away to keep us assured he was okay. Kobe was sick and had medicine which was no problem for Helen and she was very helpful. Would definitely recommend and use again!
Helen and her family take such good care of our Bailey. When we return, she is always out playing in the garden, happy as a lark. We feel so relaxed, knowing that our very active puppy is being so well cared for. They are a lovely family and very relaxed and you could not ask for more competent, reliable care. Bailey is smitten with their dog Toby. We feel very lucky to have found them!
My two rabbits enjoyed their stay with Helen and family. They were given a safe and caring environment to have their bunny holiday, and I would recommend Ginger and Saffron for small animal boarding. The rabbits will definitely stay with you again. Many thanks!!
Helen looked after my tortoise when we went away for the weekend, as we live close by she was able to pop round to feed him and check his welfare. We returned to a happy, contented pet who had been very well cared for. Highly recommended, thank you Helan.
My 2 dogs stayed from Thursday to Sunday dogs settled in very well. Was given the opportunity to come around before and see around. I felt totally reassured as soon as I seen the other dogs there having a great time. 100% recommend!
Ike had a lovely time with the other dogs. Steve and Helen were great hosts and were very flexible, fitting in with our holiday arrangements. Would recommend strongly.
How lovely to find a lovely holiday home for our Teddy, as our other cares had retired we thought no more holidays but Helen and her family are so caring, no worries Teddy lived as one of the family as every need is catered for, he loved the company of the family dogs., a health farm for dogs. thank you Lorna and Mark
Excellent dog carers! Looked after my daughter's very nervous young dog for 5 days. No hassles would definitely use again.
Kristina looked after our dog whilst we went to the Eden Project. She picked him up and returned him to the Campsite. She communicated well leading up to the day. Teddy was with her. She kept us informed and up-to-date with his care using WhatsApp which included photographs of him having lots of fun we would thoroughly recommend her.
Highly recommend, Kristina is amazing! I left my dog dug with her a week whilst we were on holiday, she sent me lots of pictures and updates of him having a lovely time. She makes sure she knows all of your pups requirements and likes and dislikes. Will definitely be booking in with her again when we next go away. Thank you so much Kristina from me and dug x
Finding a dog sitter for Frank's first week without us was tricky, I worried we'd spend our holiday worrying about the dog. But Kristina sent photos and videos showing him happy, settled, loving a variety of walks and running round with other dogs that came to play. Total peace of mind, our only worry was he was having such a great time he might not want to come home! Frank will definitely be having more holidays with Kristina.
Kristina looked after our spaniel Jojo for one night and was fantastic! Jojo and Kristina’s dog Lyra got on really well and had a great runaround while we went out for dinner. We got lots of pictures which was a lovely touch, as were the eggs that Kristina gave us from the chickens in her garden. Can’t recommend highly enough!!!
Paws Playground is amazing. We'd never left our puppy with someone that wasn't close family or friend before. She sent lots of photos and made us feel really comfortable. Kristina will absolutely be our go to next time we're in the area!
We had planned to go Eden project and unfortunately they do not allow dogs inside the biomes. After looking at so many places for our Lilly to spend her day care we came across Kristina. We were so pleased to know that our Lilly was so chilled to walk straight in her day care without stress. She warmed up to Kristina straightaway. She had awesome day and we received updates of her day. We were pleased that Lilly felt right at home with Kristina. Highly recommended 👍🏼👍🏼
First time we left our two elderly dogs but we had no reason to worry Kristina was fantastic sent us text messages and photos of their stay every day. Would highly recommend she provides a fantastic service and will definitely be sending our dogs for another stay
My Pomeranian puppy had a lovely couple of days at Paws Playground of Par. It was so nice receiving updates from Kristina throughout the day - he looked so happy! Highly recommend and will definitely be using again - thank you!
What a find! Usually we have neighbours or relatives in to look after our two dogs, for the first tim, we were stuck! Kristina came to see us for a FOC meet and greet for an hour a few days before. She wanted to know all about usual routines and any particular likes and dislikes of our two pooches. While we were away we got emails every morning and evening and were highly reassured that everything was well. We absolutely couldn't recommend her highly enough and will certainly be using her services again. Thank you so much Kristina
Fantastic care of our dog and perfect for our family's day trip to the Eden Project. Kristina was very responsive and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to others!
When Stella first started going to Paws and Play she was a very timid 12 week old pup. Over the last year and a half I have watched Stella's confidence grow and I have Michelle to thank for it! Stella absolutely loves going to paws and play, in fact she drags me to her front door every time i drop her off! Michelle takes them on such lovely walks and has been amazing the whole time, offering so much advice on how we can help Stella. I honestly couldn't recommend her enough!
I cannot recommend Paws and Play enough. My 18 month old Cocker Spaniel literally pulls on his lead to get into Michelle’s - he loves it! His recall isn’t 100% so Michelle puts him on a long lead and he gets the best walks!
My 1 year old boy lochi has been going to paws and play now since he was 8 weeks old. He absolutely loves going to doggy day care and Michelle is amazing with him and he loves her and all his dog friends! Michelle is always willing to go above and behond. Highly recommended!
Took our Lab for a day as we were visiting some non dog friendly places. When she went back the day after next she couldn't wait to run down the path and into the garden as she had such a good time. Videos of her having so much fun were amazing too
Michelle came recommended to us and I am so glad we found Her. We booked our dog in for a few daycare sessions before leaving him for 3 weeks with Michelle, while away on holiday .. He was well looked after and looked like he had so much fun with the other dogs. Regular videos of their walks so we could see how he was getting on. Will definitely use Paws and Play for future holidays .
Can not recommend Michelle at Paws and Play enough! My Boxer Oscar started going to go day care there when he was a 5 month old puppy. Every time we pick him up at the end of the day he doesn’t want to leave, he loves it there! When we finally manage to get him in the car and home he is a very tired boy. The videos Michelle posts on social media just shows how much fun the dogs have. We wanted Oscar to get well socialised as a puppy and Paws and Play has definitely done this. Thank you Michelle. Xx
We found Michelle to loving and caring with the dogs in her care, it was the first time we had left our girls and they really enjoyed their holiday with her. It was so nice to know that the girls were really well cared for. Lovely walks in the woods,on the beach and moors. It was lovely to have this peace of mind,would certainly use Paws and Play again , would certainly recommend Michelle.
Paws and play was recommended to me and I'm so glad it was. We had a meet & greet and then we boarded Willow for 2 nights whilst we went away, this was the first time as 8 months old. Whilst away I could see pictures and videos of Willow enjoying herself having fun with other dogs, this gave me great reassurance she was having a ball. Michelle was great and I felt very much at ease leaving Willow in her care, Willow can't wait yo go again.
When we received our rescue dog Beatrice back in February this year, Michelle welcomed her to her weekly routine of doggy day care! We seen Beatrice go from anxious dog to loving life at DDC. She helped Beatrice settle into life in the UK. Michelle and her experience is a must, if you are looking for some to help with your dogs behaviour.
We have recently boarded our 3 year old Miniature Labradoodle, Buddy with Michelle at Paws & Play, for just over a week. He quite obviously had a blast! The walks that Michelle takes the dogs on are varied & lovely, even the ones in the pouring rain! 😀 When we have been away before & have had to put Buddy into kennels we have always spent the time away worrying about him. But, this time, although we missed him, none of us worried about him at all, because we knew he was in good hands. It also helps that Michelle posts videos and pictures on Facebook (if you have given consent for your dog's photo to be taken) so you can log on & see all the fun your dog has been having. The dogs that Michelle boards all have free reign into the garden, go on some fantastic walks & are not caged. Michelle is very experienced & knowledgeable & it is very clear that she has a lot of time & love for all of the dogs that are in her care. I would thoroughly recommend Michelle & Paws & Play to anyone considering boarding their dog & will most definitely be asking to board Buddy there again.
Lisa and the team are amazing - they genuinely care and love the dogs as if they are their own and always have the dog’s best interests at the forefront of everything they do. I always feel at ease knowing that my dog is in good hands, surrounded by people who genuinely care about his well-being and happiness. My dog has been attending since she was a puppy and loves it - displayed in how she greets members of the team. They are such a lovely group of people and are so very friendly and flexible in their approach - always helpful and endeavouring to accommodate everyone's needs. I know she is having the time of his life at day care, playing and being well looked after. After a fun and exhausting day at Park-your-Paws, she’s out for the count for the rest of the evening, as seen in the photo. Thank you
Park Your Paws is a fantastic doggy daycare. Our rescue dog has been going there for 3 years now and we wouldn’t feel happy with him going anywhere else. We were nervous at the start as we weren’t sure how he would cope with being around lots of dogs as he was still a puppy, but we needn’t have worried. Lisa, Amy and all the team are absolutely fabulous and made us feel reassured from day one at his trial. He loves going to Park Your Paws and we can happily drop him off in the morning knowing that he is in safe hands and will have a brilliant time with all his friends whilst we are at work. Thank you!
I would highly recommend Park your Paws dog day care to all my friends. Lisa and her team are always welcoming and attentive when we drop him in and you can tell they really care about all the dogs they look after. They are really flexible with drop off and pick up times which is a real benefit as found other places used when living elsewhere required pre-booking. He always comes away from there happy after spending the day playing with all the other dogs. The indoor facility is perfect for dogs and the huge yard for them to run around in is great!!
We’ve been bringing dogs to Park your Paws for several years and they’ve always been brilliant. We have one large dog and two small ones. When we brought our youngest (then a puppy) I loved how much care they took about introducing him to the other dogs and keeping an eye on him. Fortunately he took to day care like a duck to water and all three have many happy days there. Lisa and the team are all great and would highly recommend.
We would absolutely recommend Park your Paws for anyone looking for daycare or home boarding. Having bought our sprollie to day care since he was only a few months old Lisa and the team have been brilliant with him! He is a high energy dog and comes home absolutely knackered every time having had the best time! His social skills have hugely improved since attending as-well. We love seeing the daily photos of him and the dogs having fun on the Facebook page and is always the highlight of my working day checking in on it to see how he’s getting on! We have also had experience with the home boarding side and genuinely wouldn’t want him to go anywhere else he loves being there and they look after him so well. We only have to mention Lisa’s name and he gets so excited!!! Thank you for everything you do! Danielle, Jacob and Arlo x
My dog has been coming to park your paws for 3 years now he absolutely adores both the area and all the staff! He does regular daycare and boarding and I wouldn’t trust anyone but Lisa and her team with him! He would rather stay at daycare than come home says it all ❤️ very appreciative of all the amazing services the team offer we wouldn’t be able to day trip or have weekends away without them! We love you and rolo loves you all 💞🥰
Our puppy loves it here so much..it's so reassuring knowing he is happy. He runs in everyday to see his big doggy mates. The staff are all so friendly and helpful. Love catching up with the photos on Facebook in the evening of what the dogs have been up to that day. So happy we found such a great place for a pup and for us. Thank you
We use both the day care and boarding services at Park-your-paws and our dog is always happy to stay and well looked after. The care provided is excellent and there are no jail-like cages used. Lisa and her team do a fantastic job.
Our pooch has been going to Park your paws daycare for about a year now and loves it...she is always shattered after her day of fun! Great staff and so easy and convenient to book! She has also been for boarding, always so helpful and great to see the daily photos on social media.
Yesterday we left a review which we hoped would shed some light on some of the potential issues that could be faced by a not overly confident dog and hopefully the day care would take this on board and see it as a chance to improve their service to cater for everyone. As when it comes to dogs it’s never a one size fits all scenario. Following this we received an unprofessional phone call asking us to REMOVE OUR REVIEW. Clearly this shows that all they care about is positive reviews rather than taking on board anything that was said. Their response stated that they have so many dogs each month that they can’t possibly remember every dog’s information which raises the question, why do they ask for a registration form to be completed if they’re not going to use it for reference when a new dog comes into their day care? For all they knew, the registration form could have said “Aggressive and will bite” but they wouldn’t have checked the form and would have let them in with 20 other dogs anyway. On their website they state: “We vet each dog to ensure that they will be a happy addition to our family. Each dog is assessed for social skills, aggression and flight instinct, and most importantly, to see if they want to be a part of our family. We consider whether your dog is right for the environment and whether the environment is right for your dog.” So, when they asked if we should have done more research, we very much put our trust in their process of assessing our pup. As their website says “Trust is everything when it comes to leaving a valued member of your family with us. We have created a safe, loving and fun environment for your dog to enjoy spending time with us giving you total peace of mind.” And we can safely say they lost our trust. We are only trying to make people aware of the environment so they can see if it is the best fit for their dog, and we don’t want other people to make the same mistake we did so we will keep our review up to allow other dog owners to make their own minds up based on all positive and negative reviews from other experiences.
Fabulous kennels in all aspects. My dogs love going! Jude and Andy provide exceptional care and I can go away knowing that they are safe and well cared for.
My girls had a wonderful time. Daily updates on website/Facebook. Very happy and content and loved meeting up with all their friends. They were picked up smiling and very happy. Would highly recommend.
Wonderful! Highly recommended. I put my dog Daisy in Kennels for the first time and she came out a very happy girl. They took plenty of great photos during her visit which was wonderful to see. Would be taking her again when we next go away!
My dog absolutely loves it here. As soon as I get him out of the car, he wants to go to the kennels. To see all his friends
Thanks for looking after our little Millie today. We felt reassured that she was so well looked after. Such friendly people with lovely dogs. Thank you once again.
We are always happy to leave our 2 dogs here when we go away. Jude & Andy are lovely people and great with our dogs. We can relax knowing they are being well cared for and exercised! We enjoy being able to see photos while we're away too!
Our dog Max spent a wonderful week at Yeovale Kennels. He was well looked after and was a very Happy little boy when I collected him. It was wonderful to see photos on the website of Max enjoying his playtime with the other dogs which put our minds at rest whilst we were away. I don't think he missed us much! Thank you Jude & Andy for taking such great care of him.
Fantastic kennels run by lovely people- used many times. Nugg loved Jude & Andy and playing with all the other dogs. Always excited to arrive and we never felt guilty sending her on her own little holiday! Thank you!
My Jess spent another wonderful holiday at Yeovale last week, this was her third visit. She has a wonderful time playing and running around and making friends. The way the dogs are treated is so caring . I now feel at ease when I leave my girl behind in such capable and loving hands. Thank you to Jude and Andy.
Absolutely amazing and personalised care of my two dogs. The dogs have lots of exercise and socialisation time which in turn eases the anxiety of the separation from their owners. My young collie 'Ted' had an amazing time making new friends and playing around having fun. I did have worries about my 12 year old spaniel as she had never been in kennels. I shouldn't have worried, again she had plenty of exercise doing her own thing, usually following Jude around looking for cuddles. The establishment is quiet with no barking, this only says one thing! that the dogs are happy. Thank you Jude and Andy for providing a high level of care!
If you want your dog to have a good time and not be in the cage this is the best place. The owner is amazing person and with a huge love for animals. She looks after them she walks with them and she has a big place we're they can run and play.The dog sleeps with them on the sofa. My dog bolt enjoyed every single time. We haven't went there since covid.
Going away, worried where to send your much loved doggies? Do you want somewhere where they will feel relaxed and at home. In The Dog House, is the place to go. No cages or crates, free to roam and mix with other dogs in the 8 acres, under watchful supervision. Normally, my dogs go everywhere with me and stay in my camper van but this time they couldn't, so I was really anxioys to get it right. I need not have worried, my dogs were in caring ,safe and capable hands. Upon arrival thete was a through vheck in and my dogs seemed to settle relatively wuickly. I got regular, photos, videos and updates from Sue the whole time I was there . Come the time of collection I had 2 very content and fluffy beagles back. They were exhausted from socialization and slept all the way home. I was recommended Sue and her business In the Dog House, by another beagle owner. I would highly recommend this service to all beagle and dog owners. From first contact, Sue, asked appropriate questions, double checked vaccination and microchip status. All in all 100 percent recommation. I will use In The Dog House, again next year when I return to Cornwall for a long weekend dancing. One word of warning the location is up a single track road, dont take znything bigger than a transit up to drop off and collect the dogs. If like me you have a motorhome rhen arrange with Sue collection and drop off at thr garage n coffe shop on the main Road. Here again Sue was accommodating. Thank you yo Sue and in the dog house.
Lovely place. All the dogs were so relaxed and happy. Sue was very down to earth and caring.
Skye goes weekly to day care and has stayed overnight. She absolutely loves going! Both Jess and Dawn get dogs, their individual needs and care for her as if she is one of theirs. The paddock walks at the wonderful Welly Walk are just a fabulous way for her to run about with her new friends and even go for a swim! Brilliant home from home.
I had a last minute Raw food order in between Christmas and New Year - communication was quick, good variety of food and treats. I was staying with a friend at the time so I'm very happy to now know about Puddles & Paws for next time so I don't have to travel with food.
I've posted before but had to share again how amazing these guys are. Misty climbs over me to get out of the car when we pull up on Thursday for her weekly Daycare. She has so much fun and always comes back worn out. She also has overnight stays at least once a month and I never feel worried as I know she will be cared for like one of their own. This is Mistys second home.. her surrogate aunties love her and she loves them 💕
Jess and her family are so good. They treat my two dogs as their own, whether they are out walking or in day care. They also try their best to help me out if my shifts change, or amend what the boys need depending if they have been poorly or one had an operation, Jess was so accommodating. Definitely recommend all the services, as I also buy my fresh food for the dogs from them too.
Fab service and lovely family business. They really care about my dogs and have been ever so helpful over the time we've been with them. Also good raw dog food service too.
Good selection of brands, collection from a house not business premises. Easy to find and website easy to use
She was the best I ve ever seen. Animals don’t lie
Can’t recommend jess enough, always keeps me updated about my ponies! Highly recommend
Great personal service from a local company
We were so grateful for Kate helping us last minute. Lovely lady, very welcoming, and our sausage dog, Bowie had the best time. I don't think he wanted to come home!
Our dogs spent the day with Kate and both had a lovely time, Kate was really helpful and knowledgeable, we would recommend her in a heartbeat.
Super good and incredible service
Lovely staff
