Our spaniel Joe seemed happy during his stay with John. John is calm and relaxed and flexible and has a lot of experience with dogs. We would definitely have Joe stay with him again.

Great communication with John. He was always very prompt to reply to my messages. John sent us lovely reassuring photos so that we could relax knowing that our senior dog was being well cared for. I would 100% recommend.

We were nervous to leave our pup as this was the first time but John was brilliant!! He kept us updated and sent photos, making us feel relaxed & happy that our boy was good!

Our dog was so well looked after. We couldn't be more happy. Yumi did multiple activities, longer walks, shorter walks, a run around etc. We had regular photo and message updates. We're already booked in again. I would totally recommend John to anyone!
