Howlin' good reviews!

  • Charlotte is lovely and extremely professional she looks after Betsy so very well. She listens and is understanding of her needs. Betsy is always so happy after her day with Charlotte, and I can be a work knowing she is in very safe hands. So grateful to have found her !! :)

    Emma - Betsy’s mum

  • JP absolutely loves his time with Charlotte and is really well cared for, is suitably tired and happy come collection time!

    Catt - JP’s Mum

  • As I write this review I’m looking at a very tired dog. He won’t even open his eyes. Huge thank you to Charlotte for taking such good care of Hobbes.

    Nick - Hobbes’ Dad

  • I can't recommend Charlotte enough. What a wonderful and intuitive dog carer, who provides such loving care for my dog. Flossie instantly loved Charlotte and was so happy being looked after by her.

    Michelle - Flossie’s Mum

  • Charlotte and Ernesto help us out often both with daycare and staycations. Charlotte is always helpful, professional, friendly and loves the dogs she cares for. We are always provided with updates, and it's reassuring to see how happy Dave the dog is when going and coming back.

    Ben - Dave’s Dad

  • Charlotte was an a absolute pro with my dog, Daisy. She was really gentle and sensitive to Daisy’s separation anxiety and shyness, and it sounds like they were best buddies by the end of the day. Great to find someone local who I trust with my doggo!

    Harriet - Daisy’s Mum

  • Our dog Buddy adores Charlotte and has the absolute best time with her ... so much so that he pretty much tries to break the door down when he hears Charlotte - and doesn't even look back! The walks they go on are really adventurous and stimulating, and we always know he's safe and extremely well cared for.

    Abi - Buddy’s Mum

  • One of the things that's great with Charlotte is that she keeps the groups really calm and whilst the dogs play it's never allowed to be taken too far. She reinforces good behaviour and training. Albie's social skills and also recall are so much better for going to Dogs Furrst and we notice if there are any prolonged periods where he's not been!

    Lauren - Albie’s Mum

  • Charlotte is amazing. She truely loves and understands dogs. Have recommended her to friends and family and we all think she is brilliant. Lots of updates and photos throughout the stay so you know everything is going well.

    Oliver - Rocky’s Dad
