“We were quite anxious at first since it was our Bella's very first time staying with someone she didn't know. But the constant pictures and updates we received quickly put us at ease, we could clearly see she was comfortable, happy, and being well cared for.”
“Both Pauline and Tim took the time to understand Chase's routine, personality, and specific needs, and it really showed in the level of care provided. Chase came back happy, well-exercised, and clearly comfortable and relaxed, which speaks volumes about the attention and affection he received.”
“Pauline and Tim are experienced dog owners, very calm and friendly, and have taken Benny out to a wide variety of locations keeping us updated regularly on his well-being. Their home and garden are comfortable and dog friendly (of course!) and they have provided toys, treats and stimulation to keep Benny happy.”
“They have a good home atmosphere for dogs to be round them. Lots of walks and lots of pictures sent to us. Better then a kennel. It's like a second home.”
“They sent photos and messages with up dates so we could relax whilst we were away for the night. They cared for him as if he was their own.”
“Pauline sent us messages daily on what he was doing and walks he was having with lots of photos and videos of him loving every minute of it. Will definitely be booking him in again for another holiday at Muddy Paws.”
