Testimonials - Dog Walking & Cat Visiting

Here are a few kind words customers have said about doglegs dog walking service.

..........................................................................................

"I just wanted to let you know how great doglegs is. Both the dog walking and the homeboarding facility is fantastic.

Millie loves her walks with you. It's a simple, straightforward service which I have found to be totally reliable. The house is always left secure and Millie is always content when I come home.

I had placed Millie in kennels twice before homeboarding with doglegs. Both kennel experiences left me and Millie less than happy. Homeboarding is perfect for both of us - it is truly a home from home for Millie and I get peace of mind that I am leaving her in safe hands, where she will not only be well looked after but she will genuinely enjoy her holiday too!

It is very clear that you and your team love the dogs. And Millie gets to mix with other dogs which is great for her.

Just keep doing what you're doing - it's a great service!

Thanks."

Sue Brown

"With Zoe and Nicks help I no longer have to panic about leaving the dogs shut in when I have to work longer that usual..even at short notice doglegs will fit a walk into their day and I know it's been a fun romp when the dogs spend all evening snoring in their beds...now if I could just train them up on the horses..."

Amanda and Rob Morgan - Old Woodhouse

" doglegs are invaluable. Their service is professional, reasonable and most importantly flexible. We always feel guilty when booking a walk at short notice, but they always rise to the challenge and ensure that Bella (our golden retriever) is well walked and socialised. One of the great touches are the little notes that are left, detailing the adventures that she's had at lunchtime! In fact Bella wants to stay at home most days, just so she can go out and play with Nick and the gang!

We would recommend doglegs to anyone whose dog needs some extra fun and exercise."

Rob Hughes - Loughborough

"Barney, our black lab loves his walks with Nick / Zoe et al, especially when he gets to flirt with the girl dogs and run wild with the boy dogs! And sometimes he gets a little confused and does it the other way around!!

We are very pleased with the service provided from doglegs and the little reports left for us telling us where he's been and what he's been up to, do make us smile when we come home.

Both Nick and Zoe clearly care about animals and ensure that Barney is well looked after, socialised with other dogs and given plenty of exercise and fuss before he is dropped off again, safe and sound and worn out!! Such peace of mind for us when we have to unfortunately work and leave Barney for a while.

We would highly recommend their services to anyone who cares about their pet!

Thank you both very much. Woof Woof from Barney too!"

Anne and Steve - Quorn

"When I was offered a job further away from home I was reluctant to take it because of Herbie, our beloved rescued Lurcher. However, I need not have worried; Zoe and her team are fantastic and extremely reliable. They love the animals and Herbie loves them. We come home everyday to a contented happy dog, who we know has been walked and well looked after. We would recommend Zoe and her team without hesitation to anyone who requires their services."

Melissa & Mark, Loughborough

"One enthusiastic greyhound is quite enough to contend with, but two must be a real challenge, especially since Lulu (our younger dog) is reluctant to go out in any weather. I know that both Jasper and Lulu are in capable and caring hands - I even get replies to the notes I leave for the walkers. I have provided many verbal references for Doglegs and am more than happy to add to the website testimonials.

I also really appreciate being able to add extra walks when required."

Mary Arthur (Quorn)

"Just wanted to say a huge thankyou. I got my girls back and they look so well, very pleased with Pat. Service so much better than boarding kennels, so thanks!"

Donna Revill, Nottingham.

"Please accept our thanks for a very efficient and friendly service - you can be assured that we will be recommending you to friends and family."

David and Susan Herd - Littlethorpe

"A super-friendly and reliable dog walking team! Sam thoroughly enjoys his walks and loves making some new doggy chums (and some human ones too). It great to know my dog is in safe hands."

Sally and Sam - Woodhouse Eaves

"Zoe, Nick and the fabulolus team at doglegs, Thank you so much for walking 'our boys' whilst we were on holiday. The service you gave was absolutley excellent, and your care and attention to detail in getting to know Basil and Baxter gave us great peace of mind. We look forward to seeing you again soon, and have no hesitation in recommending your wonderful service to anyone. With our thanks and very best wishes, John, Jill, Basil and Baxter Burditt - Mountsorrel

When my humans decided they would both be at work more I made it quite clear that I was not prepared to spend the WHOLE day asleep. I knew I needed a bit more in my life and that's where doglegs came in. It's great - I'm picked up from the house and get driven to some of the finest spots in Charnwood (Swithland Woods, Beacon Hill etc) where I can hang around with my mates, and just have fun.

Quite frankly I don't know what I'd do without Zoe and Nick giving me a good work out and keeping me trim and fit.

Fino the chocolate labrador"

c/o Kelvin & Corinne Smith, Quorn, Leicestershire.

"Zoe and Nick have been walking Maisie for a while now and we have found them both caring and very trustworthy.

Maisie gets so excited when they arrive to take her out and we would have no problem in recommending them."

John and Sarah Thomas - Woodhouse Eaves, Leicestershire.

"Zoe's dog walking service was recommended by both a relative and a friend. We are highly satisfied with the walker [a delight], the reliability - and the dogs think it's marvellous. Thoroughly recommended on all counts. "

Patricia Whitworth - Barrow upon Soar, Leicestershire.

"We have been very impressed with Zoe and her team at doglegs since the first day they started walking Tara , our young and very lively Labrador. Tara is clearly very happy and seems more settled than before. We are confident that whilst we are out at work Tara is having fun. She goes out with other dogs on a daily basis which she loves and we get a regular report on how she has been (not always good!). doglegs are 100% reliable and we would recommend them without hesitation."

Claire and Colin Esler, Woodhouse, Leicestershire.

"We have been using doglegs for the last six months to walk our Westie George three times a week. When we get back from a busy day at work it's great to find a happy, well walked Westie! It takes a great deal of trust to leave your well loved pet in the hands of someone else and also give them access to your home. In the last six months Zoe and her team at doglegs have proved that our trust is well placed and we would not hesitate to recommend doglegs to other pet owners."

Helen and Damien Fields - Sileby, Leicestershire.

"Just a quick note, to thank you for organising our dog walk for our two Bedlington Terriers last week. Your poor colleauge who had to brave the elements. We were very impressed with the service, and will certainly use you again."

Kindest regards, Paul - Barrow Upon Soar, Leicestershire.

"Zoë and the staff at doglegs are reliable and trustworthy, and are happy to accomodate extra walks when needed at short notice. They are real dog lovers and it shows in their enthusiasm and care for our pets. What more can I say?!"

Jill Taylor Woodhouse, Leicestershire.

"I would thoroughly recommend doglegs if you have a cat but you like to travel . Previously going on a holiday was a pain especially if you were ever let down by neighbours and didn't like the thought of putting your cat in a home for a week or 2. We found doglegs to be 100% reliable turning up as and when you need them , 100% trustworthy and meant we had a happy , well fed cat once we returned from our holiday."

Tim and Judit Povall - Woodhouse Eaves, Leicestershire.

"My little dog Lola can't wait to see Zoë since she has been walking Lola I have been able to leave the house without guilt as I know she has such a lovely time on her walks, she is always reliable and trustworthy."

Joachim Zilliken - Rothley, Leicestershire.

"Zoë is reliable,and trustworthy. Her love and attention towards my dog Poppy is so special and gives me great piece of mind knowing when I am at work she is having fun and exercise."

Barrie Stephen - Desford, Leicestershire.

"I decided to start using doglegs when I had my first child and I wanted a day off from walking my dog Becky. Becky loved Zoë from the start and gets very excited when she arrives at the door every Thursday. Zoë is so flexible, there have been times when I had to cancel a walk or even request an extra walk at short notice, Zoë takes it all in her stride. It is so reassuring to know Becky is in reliable hands and most of all enjoying herself. When I want to go out for a day Zoë will walk Becky and visit later to feed her, so we have peace of mind she is ok. I have also used the Home Boarding service, Zoë found Becky a suitable homeboarder just down the road, where she was cared for exceptionally well. So we all enjoyed our holiday"

Anna Elson - Newtown Linford, Leicestershire.

"I would absolutely recommend Zoë and doglegs to anyone who needs help in providing their dogs with the exercise they want them to have. I am owned by Dave, a 9 month old Bearded Collie who is the bounciest , most energetic dog you could meet and though I try to walk him twice a day sometimes I just can't fit in what I would want to. I contacted Zoë thinking that she could fill a gap but quite frankly , Dave adores her so much that sometimes it feels that I'm the one filing the gap. Zoë obviously loves her work and I can only say that there is no-one I would trust with Dave as I would her - it's worked out marvelously."

Janis - Swithland, Leicestershire.

"Zoë has been walking Bruno for the last 3 months, and from the first meeting we had with Zoë we knew we could trust her to look after him.
She was courteous and understanding in any requests we made especially as Bruno isn't the best around other dogs and has suffered with a few medical conditions.
Whenever you mention Zoë's name around Bruno he gets excited straight away as he knows he's off for an adventure.
Bruno gets walked three times a week and reading what Zoë and him have been up to after a day at work only confirms our decision to use Zoë and doglegs.
We'd have no hesitation in recommending doglegs to our family and friends."

Jenna and Ben Booth - Rothley, Leicestershire.

"Our cats are part of the family so when we go away I need someone trustworthy, reliable and caring to look after them - so I use doglegs. The cats adore Zoë & Debbie and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend doglegs to anyone."

Amanda Webster - Quorn, Leicestershire.

"My name is Flopsy, I am a large black and tan Doberman and I live with my beloveds at Heygate House. They've arranged for me to have walks with Zoë twice a week, and I absolutely love it. I know when she is coming and I sit by the window waiting at least 4 minutes before she arrives and I get so excited that I nearly turn myself inside out with joy. I know we are going to have a lovely walk in unusual places like fields and streams, so I come home wet, dirty & thirsty, which is what I like. I know that some of my friends don't like these sort of places to go to, so they go to other more gentle & clean places.

I am very obedient so I am allowed off the lead, always coming to call immediately, and I rush about like a puppy, although I am 9 this year. I always look forward to my walks. Thank you Zoë. "

Sue and John Thorne - Woodhouse Eaves, Leicestershire.

" From day one Zoë has been fantastic with Ellie. Ellie is not always keen on walking but Zoë puts herself out to make sure that no matter what mood Ellie is in she has has plenty of quality time. No other walker that we have had has put themselves out in the way that Zoë has. She always leaves a little note letting us know how Ellie has been during her visit often making us smile at the end of a busy day.

We would recommend doglegs to anyone."

Dawn and Phil Hands - Mountsorrell, Leicestershire.

"We have found Zoë to be very conscientious and totally reliable.She gives the dogs a good and interesting walk and they absolutely adore her.So much so, in fact, that when she returned after an abscence of some weeks they made an enormous fuss of her. I have no hesitation in recommending her."

Kenneth and Gaynor Byass, Rothley, Leicestershire.

"Doglegs provides me with fantastic peace of mind and excellent value for money. I can go to work and know that my dogs will get a varied off lead walk and be completely safe. Zoë is the only other person I have trusted to walk my dogs off the lead as they can be a little "independent", but her professional approach very quickly reassured me that their safety was uppermost in her mind at all times."

Sally Lee, Rothley, Leicestershire.

"Zoë walks my dog, Millie regularly and her help is invaluable. Zoë is so reliable and accommodating and will always fit Millie in for extra walks at the last minute, if at all possible. Millie always has a good long walk and she is clearly very fond of her time with Zoë."

Kathryn, Swithland, Leicestershire.

"Zoë has been walking our dog Foster for several months now and we couldn't do without her. She is trustworthy and reliable and we would strongly recommend her. Not only does Foster come back tired and happy, it's also clear that Zoë loves her job and is as affectionate with him as we are! A fantastic service and great value for money."

Alex and Andrew, Quorn, Leicestershire.

"Zoë has been taking my dog Sally for walks for just over 2 months now and both Sally and I couldn't do with out her. Zoë will go out in all weathers and always keeps me informed of any news and how the walks went and when Sally has been ill has come to keep her company and play with her in the house. I am so glad that Sally is so happy. We have only good words to say about Zoë!"

Hilary Fairbairn, Woodhouse, Leicestershire.

"Ruby really loves her walks with Zoë. Zoë is really reliable and very trustworthy. I would recommend Zoë to any one who is looking for some one to walk their dog. Thank you so much!"

Sue Walker, Rothley, Leicestershire.

"Zoë has been walking my border collie Fergus several times a week for the last month and has shown a great affinity and understanding of his, at times, unpredictability! He returns content and 'tired' and am sure if he could master the computer he would add his praise also!"

Liz Tebbutt - Woodhouse Eaves, Leicestershire.

"Zoë has been walking our 8 month old yellow lab once a week since she was a 12 week old puppy. We have always found Zoë to be totally trustworthy, reliable and flexible in arrangements. She has a great knowledge of dogs and a very caring attitude. Our puppy has really progressed with Zoë and we have no hesitation in recommending her. "

Elaine and Jim Robertson - Barrow Upon Soar, Leicestershire.

"I wouldn't let my dog be with anyone I couldn't trust to care for him as I do, and from the start, he showed me that he clearly trusted Zoë! And that was good enough for me! He clearly loves his walks with her and she makes sure he is very well-exercised. He comes back looking like a dog who's had a great time! What more could I ask?"

Michel and Marcia Laurent-Régisse - Rothley, Leicestershire.

"I have recently started to use doglegs as I have started a new career that leaves me with very little time during the day. The service has been extremely good and my dog is contently waiting for me when I return from work, thanks to his walk during the day, courtesy of doglegs. He seems very happy and this is confirmed via good communication with doglegs, which in return leaves me happy and confident that my dog is being well looked after."

Claire, Rothley, Leicestershire.

"doglegs are experienced, professional, trustworthy and reliable. I have seen for myself how much they care about animals of all kinds. Any prospective client can be confident that their best friend is in good hands."

The Fields, Newtown Linford, Leicestershire.

doglegs looked after our cats for us whilst we went on holiday for a fortnight, it was so reassuring knowing they were in their own environment with no disruption to their routine, we would highly recommend it.

The Porters, Swithland, Leicestershire.
