Pet Sitters in Upper Colwall

Could not rate Orchard Dogs higher- Olivia is a wonderful carer to our very needy dog. We are now able to travel in the knowledge that the dog is happy and being looked after in a family home.

Highly recommend Orchard Dogs as a home-from-home boarders. Our dog stayed there whilst we moved home and she settled instantly. Liv was incredible, we felt like nothing was too much hassle and loved how she sent us photo updates. We will definitely be using again!

Orchard Dogs Colwall, run by Liv has been a lifesaver for me. I have a 3 yr old springer spaniel who loves going there when I have had to go away for a few nights. It is such a comfort to know that I can leave her there in the safe, lovely home of Liv and her family and that she will go on beautiful walks and be looked after and cared for in a loving, family environment, that has all the requisite licenses and qualifications to run dog boarding. Highly recommend!

My miniature dachshund loves going to daycare at Orchard Dogs! I feel relaxed knowing he is well taken care of and he always comes home happy and tired. Whenever I drop him off he is always so waggy and pulling to get in so I know he must love it! Highly recommend.

Wow our dog just can't get enough....home from home....boarding you can trust 🐾 …

Our golden retriever Barnaby loved his stay at Finchmore! Molly was great to deal with, friendly, responsive and transparent. We left our boy for 10 days during which we were kept up to date with photos, videos and updates of what he'd been up to. When we arrived to collect him, he was having so much fun that he didn't even notice us! Will definitely be using Finchmore again and cannot recommend highly enough.

I can’t recommend Finchmore Boarding more highly, every time I use Molly’s services I’m so impressed by the level of detail she puts into looking after our dog (and how nice she is with us). Recently we went on our honeymoon for three weeks and left our dog with Molly. I was quite nervous about leaving our dog for so long but I needn’t have been. The only thing you need to worry about is that your dog might rather stay with Molly than come home! Our dog was so happy, calm and content when we collected her, we knew she’d been well looked after and had the best time. Also Molly sent our dog (and her basket) home looking the cleanest she’s ever been! Which was the icing on the cake.

My beautiful doggy Hedges stayed for a pooch-cation with Molly for a couple weeks and I’ve never been happier. Molly constantly updated me with adorable pictures and I can genuinely feel her love for the dogs. 100% would recommend to anybody looking for a premium dog boarding association.

I left my elderly Border Terrier with Molly during a visit abroad and I came back to a dog with a shiny coat of fur and looking happier than ever. Molly let me know what is was that she'd been feeding her to give her such a refreshed look and was more than happy to show me my dog Hannah during my trip so i could check up on her when i felt homesick. If you want a dog boarding place that treats your dog with the love and care as if they were their own pets, I cannot recommend Finchmore enough.

I contacted this outfit a month ago and they completely ignored my request. So far as to say, why would anyone trust them to communicate with you when you are away. Placing your beloved dogs with strangers is hard enough, but with those who can't operate basic communication is a huge red flag. They don't even take calls! A very amateur feeling rings out here so I'll pass.

My gosh where do I start?! Molly has recently moved to a larger property over winter and transformed the land (3 acres?!!) into a doggie paradise!! My terrier Mousetrap absolutely adores Molly and she sends regular photos and videos of his stay. He'll be in the woods one day, in the pond the other and at the end of it all sleeping on the sofa infront of the fireplace! Talk about a dogs life!! If I didn't know any better I would say he prefers it at Finchmore! And I can't blame him, I've been tempted to ask if I can stay too. They have a well secured 6ft high fence around their home and another secure field at the bottom of the property, never needed to worry about Mousetraps safety as he has been known to be an escape artist in the past. Mollys three dogs are the loveliest trio and Mousetrap loves to play with Spoon. 10/10 would recommend to any dog owner!!

Incredible! My young pup Benson stayed with Molly for three nights whilst I traveled to Scotland to attend a wedding, and I've never felt more comforted. Molly sent consistent updates and photos of Benson which was so lovely to see! Benson seemed so happy when I collected him and so did the rest of the dogs. Definitely recommend❤️☺️

My dog absolutely loved his stay with Molly and the rest of the pack! I had total peace of mind throughout my holiday as Molly kept me regularly updated. It really is a home from home. I would definitely recommend 100%, thank you again!

What a great find, my elderly dog stayed with Molly for a week and he was so at home. I was worried about him being diabetic but she was fabulous and sent me regular updates and even videos. Thank you Molly and will definitely use you again.

Molly has been looking after Sprout regularly over the last few months. Sprout adores Molly and her other dogs. I received regular pupdates and Sprout doesn't really want to come home with me!!! 100% recommended 👌 …

Our cockapoo stayed with Jenni at her property for 2 nights when he was 8 months old. We walked the grounds with her and were taken with the space and conditions. However, when Monty came back to us his behaviour was changed for the worse. He was petrified of larger dogs and would cower and cry as soon as a larger dog apparoched. That was very strange because we had spend a long time socialising him through his first months with many dog breeds and sizes and exposing him to lots of situations. We believe that Jenni left our boy in an enclosure with some of her larger dogs and did not monitor what happened. It's took us over 2 years to build his confidence back with any larger dog again. Can I prove this, no. But something very off happened over that stay. I have never used kennels since because of this experience.

My dog Arlo always has a wonderful time when he goes to stay with Jenni. I never worry about him as I know that he is in safe hands. She takes such great care of all the dogs she looks after. I have some fantastic photographs and videos of Arlo from his visits, which I treasure.

Excellent dog day-care. Dogs have free run of field and stream and mix with other dogs staying there. Dog socalisation... home care... daycare....Excellent 😁.....my dogs absolutely love the freedom. (So much nicer than being locked in noisy cages for most of the day with just a couple of lead walks .as is the norm in conventional kennels.

Pooch loves his Friday's with Jenny

Excellent dog care. Highly recommended.

They looked after our 'new to kennels' very scared little dog with sensitivity, flexibility and kindness. We are grateful for his first experience to be a very positive one, and we can highly recommend the kennels and staff. It is in a beautiful setting and put our minds at rest over the long weekend we needed our dog to be looked after. Thank you Strawbyn.

Lovely kennels but not such a marvellous experience as last year when a gentleman cared for our difficult dog wonderfully. This years staff not as knowledgeable, so she missed out on a lot. Will use again though very definitely.

WORST EXPERIENCE- I called and asked how much it would be for our dog too stay Saturday morning til Tuesday- they quoted me £90 over the phone and said I had too book in for a taster day-which I did! I explained she was a female rotti but no bigger than labador size( very petite), but when I dropped her off for her taster day the owner changed her mind and said I need to pay £35 a day( classed her as a giant dog) So we dropped Millie off Saturday 30th March ( Easter weekend) the girl at the desk said I need to pay extra £35 due to bank holiday- this was never mentioned on the phone or on the taster day, apparently they didn’t realise it was Easter weekend when I booked ( not my problem) . They never respond to emails… awful customer service-wrong prices quoted! Overall terrible experience- looking at previous reviews someone else was over charged a year ago so this isn’t the first time they have done this….. BE CAREFUL!!’ ALSO PAID CASH AND NEVER HAD A RECEIPT …….

We booked Bella in for a taster day prior to us leaving her at the kennels at the end if the month. I had a tour of the facilities and was reassured by talking to the owners that Bella would be well looked after and walked at least four times a day. When we collected her she was relaxed and happy.

Recently put 2 x cats and 2 x dogs into Strawbyn cattery/kennels for 2 weeks. Dogs seem very 'chilled out' when I collect them after 2 weeks.... Dogs have lead walks and there are a couple of secure fields at the kennels where dogs can run free during their exercise times. Kennel sizes vary depending whether you bring 1, 2 or a family of dogs .....

Jane and John are excellent and experienced doggie hosts. We are holidaying in the area and they took our dog on trust for a couple of doggie day care days without a taster day, which we really appreciated. . They have been brilliant with Benson and he certainly enjoyed his experience at Strawbyn. Highly recommended

rude and unhelpful woman answered the phone and wanted to charge me for two days for a 24 hour stay.needless to say i went elsewhere

We recently used the services of Strawbyn to kennel our two dogs Archie and Tilly for two weeks in the summer. What a fantastic place so clean and professionally run by John and his team. Both Archie and Tilly were well looked after by the team and are looking forward to there Holiday next year. I highly recommend Strawbyn to look after your little treasures.

I use Strawbyn Boarding Kennels a lot over the annual period, These guys are amazing with what they have achieved and they are such a professional outfit. I have a beagle called Vinnie and every time i drop him off here he is excited beyond belief, I actually think he suffers from withdrawal symptoms as his holiday was such a great experience. Thanks guys and keep up the great work :-))

Highly recommend Strawbyn Dog Kennels, I am a Professional Dog Walker and several of my clients are recommended by me to use this super clean facility. Dogs are exercised 4 times daily and leave well adjusted and content. Thank you Strawbyn.

I highly recommend this excellent service for daycare and boarding. Our pup loves to go and he is treated like a family member by Melanie and her family.

I'm Always Happy To Leave My Dog Here When We Go Away. They Do An Amazing Job Looking After Our Pride And Joy. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!

Our little boy (Hugo, the Cockerpoo) loves going. It's like a home from home. Always very well looked after and he misses Melanie when he doesn't see her for too long.

Our dog has been a regular day and holiday boarder for 3 years now and we couldn’t be happier with the care she receives from Mel.

Fantastic, excellent daycare and boarding. My boy absolutely loves going it is literally his 2nd home!

I left my Sphynx cat, moggie and bearded dragon in the care of this lovely lady while I was away for 5 days. She was kind and professional and sent me photos every day. Definitely recommend and will be using again if I go away in the future

Jaima looks after my pets and always does a fantastic job! She is very passionate and extremely reliable. Definitely recommended.

A friendly service that has proven very helpful. Our dog came back from his walk happy and slept well, always a good sign. Will happily use again and I highly recommend.

Extremely friendly service and approachable staff. Would highly recommend as my two Jack Russells had a lovely long hour walk and was in a great mood when they came back. Will definitely use this service again.

I had only heard of them through a family friend and thought it sounded perfect for me while I’m back at work since the lockdown ended and it was a very pleasant experience! Super friendly and very responsive about my Labradoodle girl Roshi’s well-being. Very satisfied. Xx

Our dogs are always looked after so well and come back off their walks super happy. They are so reliable and friendly I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone!

Highly recommend Nettie for dog sitting. Nettie recently looked after our 2 year old Labrador, for the 2nd time, the first time she was 8 months old. Nettie knows how to make a dog feel welcome and at home. She's incredibly attentive and sensitive to her needs, loves the pets in her care unconditionally and is very communicative in sending updates, videos and messages to us while we were on holiday. Not that we needed to worry, we knew Luna was in very safe hands. I would recommend Nettie to anyone wanting their pet to be looked after - she is Ace! Lucinda and Ed, September 2024

Highly recommend Nettie to look after your pet. We were anxious to leave our Romanian Rescue due to him still being fairly nervous with new people. He couldn't have been happier - Nettie quickly built up a bond with him and he was clearly at ease before we had even left. She kept us up to date with photos and videos of the lovely adventures they went on. Already booked in for October :)

Nettie cared for our dog in our home. She was on time and provided updates during the day. It was clear that our young dog was very comfortable with her and that she had a good day. She had walks, meals and play which was exactly what was needed.

I wouldn't hesitate to have Nettie looking after my dog again and I would highly recommend her services. Reliable, professional and stepped in (very) last minute to help me out when I was really stuck. She gave me regular updates which was really reassuring and my dog is very happy and settled after spending all weekend with her. Thank you SO much! Fantastic dog sitter xx

Have used Nettie twice now whilst working away . I have found her to be extremely Trustworthy, competent and caring , her professional attitude along with her Reliable and professional service means I’m happy to work away knowing my 2 English bull terriers are well cared for & my house is looked after as she Will stay with your pet all day and night at your home. Excellent service, awesome lady ., recommend 100%

I've got a blind romainian rescue dog with special needs who I have been very anxious about finding the right sitter for, I hate leaving him for a night or two... But then along came Nettie... She truly understands dog behaviour, very experienced with dogs and she is one of very very few people who knows how to walk him safely. She is such a lovely person to deal with. She is extremely kind and a true doggy person. Also, even though I tell her to not worry about cleaning up or anything, she still does bless her. She will treat your home with utmost respect and love your dogs.

Nettie is amazing with our dogs, a natural. She is relaxed but still very switched on with what they needed, from walks to cuddles and snacks!

Netti has a lovely way with animals. She’s very kind and caring. Her animals and any animal in her care always comes first

Thank you x

Alex is one in a million !! She started walking my son's dog Brucie,yes the famous Brucie 😂😂, he isn't the easiest of dogs as he had some recall issues. Since he has been with Alex he's a completely different dog. He is always tired when he comes back from his walk and his recall is amazing now thanks to Alex. She also walks my 2 dogs shadow and Max, again they are always are tired and contented when I come home from work. She is amazing, treats any dog in her care like her own, 100% recommend Alex to anyone xx if I could give a million stars I would xx

I first got in touch with Alex when my husband became poorly as I felt I just wasn’t given my dog Mabel the exercise she needed under our horrible circumstance we found ourselves in. Alex straight away came to meet us and within a day mabel was out on her walks. Alex sent us pictures and videos of every walk and it was clear that Mabel was living her best life having the exercise she needed. We are now 6 weeks on and the difference in Mabel is incredible, she’s a lot calmer, content and everyone comments on how Alex has transformed our life’s and the difference in Mabel.The thought that in the beginning I honestly considered rehoming Mabel as it wasn’t fair on her, but now my goodness with Alex on board Mabel is amazing. Alex is amazing! She is now know as our very own fairy mother 💕 We can not recommend this lady and her business enough. She goes above and beyond for all her dogs in her care.

Alex has changed my life! I am housebound but I now have a companion dog thanks to The Malvern dog walker taking my little boy Louie out for his adventures with his friends. He loves her so much and gets so much out of being able to socialise with his 'pack' as well as lots of people. Alex has been walking him since he was a pup and has been a massive part of his training being a behaviourist too, she always knows the right thing for each of the dogs and is always 100% in control. Alex has a wealth of knowledge, experience and qualifications so I know my boy is in good hands. 🐶❤

Alex is not only completely reliable and trustworthy but she is also adored by my dog Belle, and sometimes I think Belle might even love her more than she loves me! She won’t leave her side when she arrives and every time Alex leaves Belle cries! My beautiful Belle loves long walks and comes home happy and relaxed. Alex always goes that extra mile (or 10) for all her four-legged friends. Alex treats every dog like her own, and appears to understand their every need. She is a true ‘dog whisperer’ and THE best dog walker I know. I cannot recommend her enough. Thank you Alex X

Alex is brilliant - everything you would want from a dog walker and more! Her love for dogs is very clear and there is no doubt she would treat your dog as if they were her own. Wonderfully and reassuringly reliable, Alex always goes above and beyond to make sure the dogs get the most out of their walks and return very happy (and clean!). Would highly recommend!

Can't recommend Alex enough - we've had experience with other walkers in the past and quickly realised that it's not just about the walk, it's about the person caring for your dog. Alex does that and more. She keeps you updated, gives great advice and best of all makes our cockapoo very happy. As an added bonus she's friendly with humans too! Thanks for everything Alex.

Great job from Alex. She came round to see our dogs, listened to the issues we have, then took us for Walkies around the Nature reserve to teach us and the dogs a few tricks. They and we are much improved. Alex also suggested swapping to better food, which we are doing. Highly recommended.

Alex has been fantastic taking our little Jack Russell, Maisie, on walks whilst we have been away. Maisie can be very unsure of new people and Alex handled her extremely well. It was clear from the beginning that Alex is passionate about animals and understands them very well. We now use Alex whenever we go on holiday, knowing Maisie is in excellent hands.

Alex is fantastic – we couldn’t recommend her highly enough. She has taken our spaniel Loki on walks since he was very small and has always been 100% reliable and she clearly loves him to bits. We love watching the videos of their adventures together, its so nice to be able to watch him having a wonderful time, safe, with lots of doggy friends. Its been great for his socialisation and he always comes back happy and tired. Alex’s advice on diet and nutrition has also been invaluable. Most importantly - Loki absolutely adores Alex and gets so excited when she arrives. Priceless!

Alex has looked after Rupert on a number of occasions I feel very comfortable and happy that Alex has looked after Rupert well. I have no issues. She is friendly, helpful and amenable. She has an open and caring manor with Rupert and the other dogs I have seen her with and I have full confidence in her and the care she gives to him. A fantastic dog walker! Highly recommend!

Bethany has arranged some wonderful sitters to look after Cooper my Labrador. The sitters are passionate about animals & have experiences with pets of their own. Always so helpful, very pleasant and fast with responses! Would definitely recommend to other pet owners!

We've been using Lisa to help with training our very busy and chatty Nancy! She has done wonders - even from the first visit. Very thorough, incredibly knowledgeable and full of ideas that are manageable on a day to day basis, as well as being fun. And all very efficiently coordinated by Bethany. THANK YOU!

Five stars isn’t enough for this wonderful service. My dog was looked after better than I could’ve hoped for, loved and cared for by a wonderful dog sitter. Daily updates whilst I was away and photos to put my mind at ease. I really can’t thank them enough for providing such an incredible service and I would highly recommend them to anyone that needs a home from home for their beloved pet

I have used the dog walking and the training services and both have been excellent. It is well organised and the training has really helped to resolve some of our issues.
