What owners say
★★★★★Pets are very much part of your family, and when they need to be away from home, you need to be certain they are safe and loved.
Steve and Bernadette go over above to offer that home from home experience, so much so, I drive 60 minutes there and 60 minutes home to ensure my dog can stay with them when I need boarding facilities.
They get love like no other, they are treated like pets and loved and spoilt just like you would want your furry babies to be.
If Steve is busy, I just don't book a holiday now, I wait for him to be free and THEN I go away. Our pooch loves them both too!
Super glad to have found Steve, Bernadette and their lovely home and care 🐾
★★★★★Steve is minding our little doggy woofs while we're away. pre care, we completed the paperwork and met up twice for introductions and walkies so he would'nt be a stranger to them in new surroundings. He sends regular pupdates, pics and videos of reassurance so we can have a care free holiday knowing our woofs are well looked after. I would definately recommend 100% 🐕🐕
★★★★★We met Steve when we were looking for someone to look after our pup, Maggie, and from the very first meet and greet, we knew she would be in safe hands. Steve was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable and reassuring, and he even offered us a trial stay, which really helped put our minds at ease.
Maggie has now stayed twice, and both experiences have been fantastic. Steve has kept us updated throughout with lovely photos and messages, which gives us such peace of mind knowing that she’s happy, settled and having a great time. In fact, on her second visit, Maggie was literally dragging us towards the gate to get to Steve — so I think that says everything about how much she enjoys staying there!
Steve has also been incredibly flexible with drop-off and pick-up times, which has helped us immensely.
Steve and Bernadette, who also help look after the dogs, are both so friendly and clearly have a genuine passion for what they do. We love that they don’t just provide somewhere for the dogs to stay, but also include training, enrichment and plenty of attention throughout their time there.
Maggie has come home happy, content and absolutely exhausted after both stays! We honestly couldn’t be happier and would highly recommend Steve and Bernadette to anyone looking for someone they can truly trust with their dog. 🐾❤️
★★★★★Steve walked my two dogs for me on a regular basis when I was recovering from an operation. I have no hesitation in recommending him.
