“No hesitation to recommend!…
The ever patient Mike and Yvette have looked after our extremely enthusiastic dog Buddy on a number of occasions over a couple of years now and we can’t sing their praises highly enough! Professional with genuine care and interest in all aspects of what makes our dog tick ! This meant that we felt totally confident in leaving him in their charge and have no doubt that Buddy reflected this too as he always seemed settled, content and more than keen to return!
Mike and Yvette have always been as flexible and helpful as they could possibly be and always sent us photos of daily activities and our very happy Buddy!“
Alison Squire

“Definitely a 5 star service….
I can’t recommend Mike and Yvette highly enough. They are to dogs what Gandhi was to peace and love. Missie and Martha are always happy to stay and this is because they are so well looked after. 5 star stay for dogs!
