"I am very grateful to Lisa, Jim, Izzie and Bailey for giving my dog Oscar such a wonderful holiday. It was very reassuring to get text and photo message updates on how he was doing and lovely to look through the photos I was given at the end of the holiday. It is wonderful to have found someone who I feel 100% confident in leaving my dog with, I'm a tad over-protective so that's something I find difficult! Oscar is looking forward to his next holiday already!"

Hi Lisa

Just wanted to say how much of a fantastic time Patch and Dora had staying with Diana in Richmond. It was so nice meeting Diane before hand with the dogs, we could just drop them off and have a care free wedding and honeymoon! On both of their stays with Diana they have come back shattered (which we like!) and then have spent their first evening back at home flat out in their beds asleep!

They seem to have such fun with Diana and her lovely family and Diana is so understanding even when Patch decides to run off in Richmond park and when Dora decided to eat her sons school shoes! (I'm suprised she had them back for the 2nd time!). The photos we recieved are so lovely and have pride of place on our fridge!

We will be sure to use your services again (if Diane will have them!!) and will recommend you to friends and family.

Many thanks again,

Katie, Tom, Patch and Dora

Dear Lisa

Can't thank you enough for your wonderful care of Tilly during our short holiday.  Her care was absolutely first class and she had such a wonderful time that now she's sulking because she is missing her play mates.

We would highly recommend you to anyone who is going on holiday, especially those people who are nervous about leaving their pets - I am now free to travel because you have taken the worry away!

Thanks again,

Sarah and Tim

Hi Lisa
 
We want to thank you for finding Wendy & Terry to look after Sam our Cavaler King Charles Spaniel at short notice, we immediately felt Sam would feel at home when we met them at our initial meeting.
 
We would never leave Sam at a bording kennel & to find someone who will look after him in the same way we do is a weight off our mind when we go on holiday & we know we can relax in the knowledge that Sam is happy & contented.
 
I must say he looks well at home in the pictures you sent us & we would have no hestitation in recomending Wagging Tails to anyone looking for somewhere to board their dog.
 
Very Best Wishes
 
Roger & Julie Frith & of course Sam

Hi Lisa
 
Thank you so much for your kind letter and photo of Molly & Moses.
 
I cannot thank you enough for finding me two such kind & lovely people as Maureen & Chris !!! Molly, Moses and I all warmed to them immediately and it is so obvious how caring and at ease with the dogs they are. They are totally unflappable ( if there is such a word!!) and both Molly and Moses came home in a very happy and calm state !
 
I really appreciate the fact that I can now leave them with Maureen & Chris knowing that they will be well cared for and looked after.

The photo was a really nice touch and much appreciated!! I look forward to speaking to you again in the near future and once again thank you for finding me two super "doggy minders" !!!!!!!!!
 
Kindest Regards,

Whilst we do not enjoy leaving our dog "Monty" behind when we go on holiday, when we do we can think of no one better than Chris & Alan to look after him for us we are away.

They obviously love dogs and when Monty goes to stay with them he is always keen to go through their door which we feel is a very good sign and he is always happy when we collect him so we know that he has had a lovely time and been well looked after and loved.

After using Chris & Alan we will never use a kennel again nor anyone else.

I think that Wagging Tails has been a godsend for us as I was getting desperate, it was nearly at the stage of putting Stel in kennels which I DID NOT want to do or leave her at home and pop back after the wedding or maybe even take her with us to the wedding which would have been disastrous.   Instead, I found Wagging Tails, met Diane who I think is wonderful and on the day before my wedding I was able to drive down the A316 from Richmond, knowing that my greatest worry and cherished dog was going to be safe and well looked after, the weight just dropped off my shoulders at that point and I cannot thank you enough!!!!!!

Dear Lisa and Jim


We would like to thank you for finding us Jean Dell as carer of our labradoodle dog Alfie. When we took Alfie for his sniffing out meeting it was clear there and then that he was going to be taken great care of and very spoilt!! This was confirmed when we went to pick him up a week later. He loved being there and thrived on the love and attention given to him by Jean and her Son. Alfie is due another holiday in August (this year) with Jean and im sure he will love it just as much as he did this time! Words cannot express how grateful we are to you all. We will certainly be recommending you to our family and friends in future.


Best wishes

Hi Lisa.

Thanks ever so for the photographs, they are brilliant. 

The dogs certainly came back with youthful expressions, they both said that they had a wonderful time and would like to have stayed longer!!!!  I said that as they had been so well behaved that they could indeed go again.  They slept all night on their return, refusing to get up for their last call of nature, but were up bright and early next morning to chase a squirrel or two.  Amber and Nellie took to Chris and Alan like old friends, who by the way are lovely, kind people, and whose confidence, knowledge and wisdom were in just the right amounts for us to go away worry free that our family pets were being well catered for.  It truly was a lovely holiday for the dogs and they are already missing their lovely walks, not to mention the extra attention from Chris & Alan.  Please pass on many thanks again to Chris & Alan.

Lots of love Amber & Nellie.  (Liz & Emma Kelly)

Thank you so much for the letter and photos put through my door.  Keira had a lovely time.
I am recommending your services to my doggy friends! It was so nice to go away knowing that Keira was staying in a lovely environment and being treated as she would at home. 

Margaret was very welcoming and makes delicious Rock Cakes!

Kind regards,
