“This is the first time we have left Bobby and we were slightly apprehensive. We needn’t have worried! Nicola made us feel welcome from the get go. We had a meet and greet previous to Bobbys stay and Nicola was warm and helpful in every way. She even said Bobby could sleep with her like he does at home! When we left Bobby was tearing round the beautiful enclosed garden with another new doggy friend that was there. During the stay Nicola kept us up to date with messages and photos. When we went to pick Bobby up he was so happy to see us but really I think he would have liked to stay a bit longer!! We will most definitely be using Nicola again with no apprehension this time and will go away knowing Bobby is in the best of care! Thank you so much! Xxx”

“Katie recently helped out with some daycare for our Cocker Spaniel whilst we attended a wedding in Grasmere. She was amazing - incredibly committed, reliable and caring. The arrangements were all slightly complex, but she showed up exactly as agreed and even came late on Friday to meet Archie to help manage his anxiety. She is brilliant and I have no hesitation recommending.”

“Charlie's first visit today He is used to being with me most of the days so I was nervous even after a lovely welcoming Meet and Greet. Chelsea was great.She sent photos of him out for a walk and all day he looked really happy and smiling for the camera Chelsea was honest and said Charlie had a bit of separation anxiety at first but soon settled with her family including her own dog..which Charlie would have enjoyed.Apparently he didn't eat his meal but that's not unusual anyway!!! He ate when he got home and went to sleep quiet and contented. Great first visit.Already rebooted. I feel relaxed and happy leaving Charlie with Chelsea.”

“Thanks Reece for taking care of our little dog Teddy at short notice. Ted seemed entirely at home, and I appreciated that she had company all day, getting to explore the garden, snooze on the beds and even get a little walk - Reece was great at providing updates and photos, and super friendly.”
