Absolutely fantastic dog boarding and day care from Darren. Cooper was in safe hands and he had a fantastic time. Darren is very knowledgeable, trustworthy and friendly. Will recommend Darren to others who are local and we will definitely use Darren again when needed. Thank you so much.

Darren looked after Marlowe extremely well, attentively getting to know his foibles and what makes him tick ( balls and sticks!) and being genuinely caring. He sent me photos and videos throughout the week I was away and was honest about the fact that Marlowe didnt like to be left alone for any length of time. He even persuaded a neighbour to look after Marlowe when he knew he would be out for a while. Darren made it his mission to form a strong bond with Marlowe which he certainly succeeded in doing. I highly recommend Darren as a dog minder and as a human being!

Excellent communication, Lovely garden for bubbles to explore and even a sofa for him to snooze! Would highly recommend for a warm and relaxing stay for your pooch with high quality care.

Our dog, Biscuit, was really well looked after by Darren. His set up was ideal to keep Biscuit occupied. We got lots of photos and updates on how Biscuit was getting on throughout her stay - recommend and we will use Darren again ☺️
