Going to Ying and her family is Posy’s home away from home. She loves playing with Trigger. She is cared for as part of the family and we always get messages, photos and videos throughout her stay so we can share in what a great time she’s having. We can go away knowing that she is loved, happy and safe and that takes all the stress of leaving her away. Thank you.

Between Sophie and I we had good communication, she sent lots of update messages and George seemed tired when he came home. Ours was an overnight stay, dropping off on Saturday and collecting on Sunday, George seemed very happy to be left in Sophie's care.

This was the first time leaving our dogs Poppy and Willow with anyone outside of family. We were nervous but Rebekah completely reassured us at our first meeting. This made the drop off and stay so much easier and the girls enjoyed their weekend. We loved receiving the text updates from Rebekah which further reassured us. We would definitely recommend to anyone.

My dog Jilly is a rescue. She has only ever been to my friend’s house for boarding. Jilly is a very nervous reactive middle aged Jack Russell. I was so nervous about boarding her with anyone else but Sam was brilliant. She sent me pics of Jilly throughout her one night stay. I would highly recommend Sam. Lovely lady who made Jilly feel at ease. Highly recommend!

Sue was an excellent dog boarder. She has had experience of caring for dogs and my 2 dogs took to her straight away. She was able to send some lovely photos of them whilst I was on holiday which was very reassuring. My dogs Molly and Kim were looked after very well and came home well exercised and happy. I do recommend Sue as a dog boarder.

It was a perfect 1st stay away from home. Millie was made very welcome and Aga helped her to settle and maintained her routine. Aga couldn't have been more accommodating or caring and her updates with regular photos showing Millie happy and enjoying herself were very reassuring. A great dog minder that I will use again and would be happy to recommend.

Lili had honey for the week whilst we went on holiday; this was our first experience of leaving our pup with someone else. Lili and her family were utterly amazing, kept us up to date with pictures and videos, provided updates with how she was settled, even provided food when Honey went off hers. I can't recommend Lili and her family enough, I felt really relaxed knowing Honey was being taken care of so well and treated like part of the family. I won't hesitate to use Lili again in the future- massive thankyou again!!!

This was for the first time in 4 years our 2 girls had to stay away from us, so we were a bit worried about how they will manage it. But during the initial meeting they completely fell in love with Jill and Rob and felt like home in their house, putting our minds at rest. Jill was very professional asking all the necessary information she needed, to take the best care for our girls. We were able to relax and enjoy our trip knowing that our beloved girls are in the best hands and will be well looked after. Jill sent us regular updates and photos showing that everything goes very well, and the girls are really enjoying their stay with walks, cuddles and play. Thank you so much Jill and Rob for taking brilliant care of our girls, they will definitely be back! We can warmly recommend Jill’s services to anyone!
