Andy has been walking my 11 year old Golden Retriver Digby for 3 years and is now also walking George the puppy. In that time he has not let me down. He gives the dogs varied walks and takes into acount the weather & heat depending on the time of the year. The dogs always greet him with affection, are happy to go with him and come home contented. I would recommend him to anyone. Tania Reed

We have been disappointed by the service we received from Andy. We had an intial visit and agreed he would come in on certain days for one hour to play and walk our puppy. We had to cancel this arrangement after only 2 visits when it became apparent that he stayed no longer than 10 minutes each time and was not carrying out his end of our agreement.

Nikki has looked after our dog, Poppy regularly for the last 6 months on a day care basis (since she was 5 months old). Poppy gets a long walk (sometimes 2 or 3) every day that she is there. She gets on great with Nikki's dog, Buffy and her children too. We highly recommend Nikki to anyone who wants a home from home for their dog. Tina & Paul

My dog Chewy goes to Nikki's a few days a week and he absolutely adores it there.  Nikki's dog, a hungarian vizsla treats chewy as her own and they do not leave each others side.  He often goes there for weekend stays too and he comes back so tired after his long walks that he goes straight to bed until the next morning!  Nikki is highly recommended, whether it be for one day, a weekend or a week your dog will come back overjoyed!  Rebecca Greaves

I cannot rate Nikki high enough, she is wonderful. My 2 dogs Roley and Harvey (Cocker Spaniels) always have a lovely time when they go to Nikki's. She is very caring, they get lovely long walks, I would not have any hesitation in recommending her to others. Debbie Gallifant

Sonny, our golden retriever stayed with Nikki and her family for two weeks and I cannot recommend her highly enough. She had him for a 'trial' night before we left so we knew that this was the place for him and could have a worry-free holiday. He couldn't wait to see them again when we took him the next time plus he got on brilliantly with Nikki's lovely dog Buffy. We are thrilled that Sonny had a great holiday too. Sarah

Well if only Nelly could talk about her fantastic Christmas holiday with Nicki and her family. She had a wonderful time with lots of walks and playtime, even a cake to celebrate her 2nd Birthday, topped off by photo's of Nelly's stay. Nicki even managed to organise snow for Nelly to roll in! We can highly reommend Nicki and Nelly can't wait for her next holiday! The Dean family with Nelly

I would like to recommend Nikki Ovenden for dog sitting in the Toddington area. She received Lenny (Labrador) with open arms when I dropped him off. Lenny also got along great with Nikki's dog. When I booked Lenny in, Nikki provided me with some forms to fill out which made me feel very at ease that she will know my dogs routine, commands etc. Mari Cloete

Our Springer Spaniel Logan stays with Rayner for a full day once a week. He has also stayed overnight. He has a fabulous time there with long walks and lots of fun with his doggy friends. Rayner offers a great service, she's friendly, experienced in animal care and takes a keen interest in all her charges. Our only problem is that Logan doesn't want to come home!!! Karen Bonner

I would highly recommend Happy Paws services, Sarah & sometimes her mother have been providing a dog walking service for us for several months. I have found them to be highly reliable, professional, caring, knowledgable & flexible. Sarah has a great attitude towards dogs and their needs, I trust her completley when she attends our home to collect our dog for her walk etc. I would not hesitate to recommend Sarah/Happy Paws to anyone else!

Vicky is absolutely a wonderful dog walker and pet sitter. She is very patient and reliable and trustworthy and very knowledgeable in animal behavior. We can't say enough about her. Being Americans we did not know what to expect with dog minders in London. Vicky has watched our two toy poodles for now 6 months and she is a god send. Her dog Cosmo is very understanding with other dogs. Diana and James Weathersby

Vicky has been taking care of our pooch Winnie for the last few months and we think she is the best! Vicky is reliable, professional and has been many helpful suggestions to help our rescue dog settle into a new environment. If Vicky doesn't know the answer, she will find out. Vicky also looks after Winnie while we are on holiday and we absolutely trust her with our home and our pooch. Jan

We would highly recommend Vicky. She is an God send to us and we could not be without her. Not only does she give our 2 Cocker Spaniels a good daily run in one of the Royal Parks off lead, but also does some lead work. Vicky is utterly trustworthy, reliable, capable, thoughtful, experienced, cares deeply about the welfare and progress of dogs in her charge. Tricia and Ged Burnett
