When I was thinking about getting a pet sitter, I had some concerns. I had never done anything…read moreremotely similar before; instead, I had always relied on kennels and catteries. I feel obligated to mention that the adventure was amazing and that it is strongly recommended that animals be left at home. That resulted in a reduction in the total cost, and when I subsequently checked on the animals, they appeared happy and well.

Going away on holiday is something we all need, however, one thing as a pet owner that is difficult…read moreabout going away on vacation is leaving our dog behind. The thought of kennels and other such services, do not appeal to me, as our dog is like a child to us, so we only want the best of the best for him! Whilst looking around, there were many pet care services available to choose from. We actually infact checked out 2 other services prior to using Maries pet care services but we were not impressed by the service or location of the other pet care services. When we found Marie, we checked out other reviews and decided to setup a meeting with Marie and bring along little Freddie too, to meet marie and her little bichon frise Ben. As soon as we arrived at Maries home, we were initially impressed by the location and also Maries home, she is very clean and hosts other dogs sometimes, which was great for us, as Freddie is very social! The service provided by this particular pet care service is a home from home service, so we pre-wrote Freddies daily schedule and feeding routine, so that Marie could follow this whilst we were away. She has done a fantastic job, well done Marie! See you again soon.

It has taken me quite a few weeks to pen the following review as we have been trying to process…read moreeverything that happened. We have used this kennels for many years for our lovely German Shepherd Dog Max. We have always had good experiences with the team who run the kennels. However, I feel that people need to be warned about our recent experience. We boarded Max in Deerness Kennels in April of this year (2022) When we picked him up we were told that he had been quite stressed,that he had barked a lot and that his stools had been runny. Max was in a very poor state on collection, he did not greet us and when we got him home we realised that he did indeed have a poorly tummy. We contacted our vets who advised a bland diet etc. Within 24 hours Max's condition worsened and we rushed him into the vets but unfortunately we were too late and we lost him. The vets do not know what the cause of his illness was, however had they seen him sooner ie. when he first took ill they feel there may have been something they could have done. They were shocked to know that he was boarded and that upon taking ill within the establishment they were not contacted for their professional opinion on Max's condition. I rang Deerness the day after we lost Max to let them know what had happened, in case any other dogs were poorly etc however the response I received was very cold and dismissive. This upset me more then anything, Max had been going to this kennels for years and yet the response from the owner was disappointing to say the least. This response has now lead me to leave this review to warn other users of this kennels. If you do plan to use them, insist that if your dog takes ill while in their care they contact your vet or at least give you a call for your advice. Our lovely boy Max was only 4 and was given a full bill of health by his vet only 3 months before he stayed at this establishment. To say that we are heartbroken from this whole experience is an understatement.
