After an unreliable Yelp recommendation, a dog walker that "doesn't take collies", and four other…read moreunresponsive dog walkers, Fiona of Pawsitive Tails saved the day by coming in all the way from Hamilton to walk my in-laws' loveable bearded collie we were dog-sitting. Leading up to the day we needed her to take out the pup, we set up a meet and greet so Fiona knew where to go, address any questions or concerns and also get familiar with the dog. On the day, I got videos and messages from Fiona saying how much fun the pup had in the park with the pooches. Her rates are competitive and totally reasonable. While she doesn't normally service the Strathbungo/Queens Park area, if you are in the Hamilton area Fiona is brilliant. The pup and I are forever grateful to her, when others have proved to be unhelpful or unreliable.

Being a new puppy owner (have I mentioned that?) I knew one of the things I needed to organise was…read morefor grooming as Joffrey is a cockapoo and already has quite long fur at 12 weeks old. On the Ball were great to communicate with - I simply messaged them through facebook and made a date for them to come to my place in their van. As Joffrey is just a puppy, Becca suggested just giving him a shot in the van without any actual grooming, just to get him used to the experience. Becca was so good with Joffrey, friendly and comforting and he really loved her. She showed him the scissors, clippers and comb, and was really gentle and getting him used to these new things. Joffrey was really happy throughout and she was even able to clip his paws without any problems. I'll definitely be using On the Ball for all Joffrey's grooming as Becca made the experience so relaxing and enjoyable.

The kennels are new and purpose built, very clean and you have no problems leaving your dog with them. They welcome vistiors that want to have a look around to see the conditions that their dog will be living in before boarding.

Milly is in a huff with us for days when she comes home as Sam and her family spoil her rotten. I know milly is in safe hands and is cared for. Sam is a genuine dog lover and this shows when sam picks her up, and milly is always glad to see her. Sam also sends regular texts on how your pet is and will pick your dog up for free if your within 3 miles. The dogs are walked regulary and have fun. Like i say, milly looks forward to staying with sam and her family and we treat it as a wee holiday for her. Sam keeps your pet in her own home and not in a miserable concrete kennel. i will recommend sam to anyone looking to have their dog walked and or boarded. im glad I found her,and so is milly ;)

Joffrey goes to day care a couple of times a week and has been been going here since the start of…read moreMarch. He totally loves it - it's a friendly, family-feel environment where all the staff know him really well and he gets lots of 1:1 personal attention as well as training. Their opening hours are great (7.30 - 6.30) and I like being able to buy a pack of day care passes in advance so I don't have to worry about paying for each visit. It works out to be around £21 per day for day care which I think is worth it for the duration of time and the care he receives. They also sell raw food which is perfect as I don't need to worry about getting his food somewhere else, and the vet/owner Adele has been amazing when Joffrey was unwell and needed to be seen. Plus they can arrange home boarding if you need it. We found Vet Creche through a recommendation online and honestly, they have been a total life changer for us.
