Our two male golden retrievers have just spent a wonderful 13 nights boarding with Rob whilst we were on holiday. This is the first time they have been left with anyone but family, but after a pre-boarding meeting, we felt confident in leaving them in Rob's knowledgeable & capable hands. Rob has thought of everything and his home and garden are safe, spacious and secure and he provided a fantastic 'home from home' environment for our dogs. Rob is very organised and the health and safety of the dogs in his care is a high priority to him. Rob was very accommodating to our requests and nothing was too much trouble for him. He followed the routine that we have at home for the dogs and coped effortlessly with the different feeding regimes of each dog, including giving essential daily medication to one of them and both dogs instantly warmed to his kind & confident nature. Rob's communication was fantastic. He sent us daily updates and photos of the dogs whilst we were away which was lovely and meant that we could enjoy our holiday knowing that they were happy and in such capable hands. They settled down very quickly in Rob's care and looked like they were having a great time, especially on the variety of different walks that Rob took them on whilst we were away. We will definitely be using Rob's boarding services when we go away in the future, as I couldn't think of anywhere better to leave our dogs. I would highly recommend Rob's home boarding service to anyone.

We recently boarded our dog with Priya and couldn't be happier with the experience. From the start, Priya was profeassional and caring. She provided excellent care, ensuring our dog had plenty of walks and playtime. We appreciated the written contract, which outlined all the details clearly and gave us a piece of mind. Before the boarding started, Priya arranged for us to meet the other dog that was staying with her to ensure that the dogs get along well. This thoughtful step showed her dedication to creating a safe and comfortable environment for all the dogs in her care. Thereafter, Priya sent us updates and photos twice a day, and made sure she followed our instructions and routine. This was all greatly appreciated. Overall, Priya's attention to detail and genuine love for dogs made this a fantastic experience. We highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog boarding provider.
