What people say about us

Most feedback comes verbally to us but below are some written comments we have received.

The team at Country Boarding are absolutely superb. My dog, Wilbur, gets so excited to go for day care days and to stay, its such a different experience to kenneling past pets! Facilities are all immaculate and you can tell everyone there genuinely cares for all the animals. This really comes across with how much fun Wilbur has there! Would highly recommend both Kennels and Playdays Day Care!

Couldn’t let this opportunity pass – Congratulations on an extremely well deserved Kennel of the Year Award. Please pass on congratulation to everyone – owners, management, and all the staff, in whatever capacity.

You know that we think you are all wonderful and have always been impressed with everything.  Despite the problems this year has brought, everyone has always remained upbeat and you have kept going.  It’s always a pleasure to use the facilities, and as you know we have used most, at one time or another.

Paul and Lynn Urban – November 2020

Just a quick note to say a huge thank you for all the care you have given to Jake over the years. He has so loved the walks he has had with you. He is looking forward to his next groom with you.

Sarah and Richard Garside – September 2020

Great venue for dog walking safely. Staff are awesome, helpful and friendly. My dog has been pining for the “park” since lockdown and seeing how happy he is here is heartwarming. Really do recommend here for safe friendly dog walks.

Thank you for looking after Bluebelle this morning. We are absolutely delighted with the result and would say this is the best groom she has ever had.

Amazing place; my dog absolutely loves this place. Staff are so amazing; would never leave my dog anywhere else. Top service, top people. Thank you so much for everything you do for my dog.

A safe, caring temporary home that our very energetic dog Lola has visited several times each year during her 4 years and will continue to do so because she enjoys it! We would not hesitate to recommend.  Knowing she is in such good hands makes leaving her a little easier.

I can’t recommend this fantastic facility highly enough. The huge exercise paddock is an amazing space and being fully fenced is completely safe. My dogs go to Play Days twice a week. They have such fun they love going, and we enjoy the benefits of two exhausted 11 month olds. They are exercised, stimulated and get to play no manner of games with their for legged and human buddies. We also use Play Days when the dogs are in Boarding as we feel it breaks the day up for them. The staff are dedicated, caring, helpful and friendly. You really couldn’t ask for more. (Facebook Recommendation)

Amazing place… I’m always more apprehensive than our pup, but immediately reassured. (Facebook Recommendation)

I have a Malamute named Bear who is 8 months old. He has stayed at Country Boarding twice now and he loves it! The staff are so good with him and understand his breed really well. The daycare is outstanding and I can not recommend them highly enough. They really treat each animal like their own and it’s great that the dogs get to play together too.

Lauren Lunnon – November 2018

Eddie loves all the staff here and they all love him I know if I have to leave him for a day or longer he will be well looked after. He visited a few weeks ago in the Playdays Centre and he must have been playing all day because when I took him home he just wanted to sleep

John Davis – August 2108

Thanks to everyone who looked after Scruffy so amazingly and gave her the love and confidence she continues to need. It’s great we can leave her with you and I know she is cared for so well. Warmest thanks and Scruffy sends tail wags and a lick.

Chris – July 2018

My dog Alfie is back with me today, after spending the weekend with you. He is very happy and lively and appears to have had a great time. Thanks for looking after my best friend.

Mike – September 2017

Kaiser seems to love going to you and Kisa our cat has come back very relaxed and happy . Thanks again.

Jonny McQuarriw – August 2016

Mr Darcy was returned to us, obviously well looked-after and totally healthy. Though very happy to see us, it was apparent that he had received lots of affection and attention during his boarding. Thank you very much for giving him a special holiday!

Fiona Davis  – July 2016

I would really recommend these kennels , staff are very professional and attentive to your dogs. The dog park for exercising is totally secure. I went on holiday for 2 weeks not worrying knowing my 2 dogs would be well cared for – great place!

Lindsey Halson – July 2016

Milo has come home looking well and relaxed, and happy with life.   Thank you very much for looking after him so well.

Susan Tooby – June 2016

We have used the cattery for over 20 years which shows how content we are to board our cats with Country. The facilities are gradually being updated and refreshed, which we welcome

Melanie Pluck – June 2016

Please pass my thanks onto the team.  Max and Milo always come back very happy so they are clearly well looked-after!

Kate Willsher – August 2015

Hello all ~ I just wanted to thank you for a very pleasant afternoon yesterday spent in your lovely surroundings.  The dogs are really tired and peaceful today after their happy dog walk.

“I would just like to say how beautiful Diesel looked when he came home. Whoever groomed him did such a wonderful job. He was like a new dog! “

Emma – September 2014

“Thank you very much for looking after Casper we were so pleased to see him today and are very grateful to you for taking such good care of him, we would highly recommend you and I hope I can get in contact with Collette to hopefully get some training with him.”

Caroline Tebbs – August 2014

“We would just like to say thank-you for taking such good care of our cat Florence when she stayed with you last weekend. We were impressed with the facilities and she was not stressed when we brought her back home.

Thank you very much again.”

Heather and Dave Newton – December 2013

“I would like to take this opportunity to thank Collette who trained Teddy
whilst he stayed with you over the weekend. To our total amazement Teddy has stopped pulling on the lead and responds quickly to simple commands. Collette has a real gift not only with dogs but the ability to understand owner interaction.”

David Edwards – October 2013

“Just a note to say thank you for looking after our 6 cats, they have come
home in such a lovely condition, shiny coats, happy and contented.”
 

Jacky Smith – August 2013

“We bring both our dog and cats to you and I feel very happy our animals are being cared for whilst here. Staff are always very helpful and reassuring.”

“I would like to thank you for caring for caring for Sandy so well. You have always been so wonderful with him and I know it is not easy for you as he is now so deaf and nearly blind. Thank you all so much.”
