Pets Poochez & Places

Jaime and Suzanne have been walking and boarding my dogs, for over 4 years now andI can honestly say, I wouldn't trust anyone else with them. From the very first meeting I knew they were something special, they're not just reliable and professional (though they are that too)- they really care. Sid and Darla absolutely love them, as soon as I say "your girls are coming today" they get very excited jumping up and down, tails wagging, they understand what I mean and it's clear to see how much they adore Jaime and Suzanne. Whether it's a walk, a quiet visit or a longer stay when we're away, I always know my dogs are in safe, loving hands. They get proper exercise and tons or affection, coming home lovely and relaxed every single time. It's such a relief to have found people who treat my dogs like part of the family, I can't recommend them enough - they're an absolute godsend.

Jaime and Suzanne at pets, Poochez and places have been looking after my border collie Nellie for over a year and I couldn't be more pleased with the service they provide. Their care is consistently thoughtful, flexible and genuinely attentive. It's clear they love what they do and Nellie always returns happy and well - exercised. I recommend them wholeheartedly.

Jaime and Suzanne are amazing with my dog who can lash out at other dogs when she is anxious. There has never been an incident in the 5 years they have looked after her. She is excited to see Suzanne and Jaime and cries to go out with them, she knows they truly care about her and I have 100% confidence in them.

Jaime has been walking our dog Johnny for several years. We would highly recommend her business. We can tell how much Jaime loves dogs! Johnny is always excited to see Jaime and when we collect him from her house we can see him snuggled on the sofa next to her. He has been happy staying at her house as well as having walks. We've appreciated how flexible Jaime has been with his changing needs as he's got older, we couldn't ask for anything more.

Jaime and Suzanne are the only pet boarder I would trust with bloom. I know she is well looked after and part of the family while she's there. She has her own spot on the sofa and sometimes her bed. Bloom is 10 and slowing down but Jaime and Suzanne are so good with her and it's reassuring to know she's happy while we're on holiday.

Carolyn Main (Bloom)

Jaime and Suzanne are fabulous with Mabel, she is very comfortable with them too. She has walks with them every week and she has boarded with them too. I wouldn't have her go to anyone else, they treat her like their own and that's all you could want.

Tessa Russell (Mabel)

Jaime and Suzanne are very knowledgable about dogs and how to look after them, I trust them 100% with my furry friends. The dogs are so excited when they hear them coming in to take them out, so much so, they don’t even look back at me when they leave for their walk!

Pets,poochez and places have been walking (and occasionally boarding) my 2 dogs regularly for over 2 years now and I couldn’t be happier with the service they provide. My larger dog particularly is very anxious and I wasn’t sure if he would accept being walked with anyone else, particularly as part of a group. Jaime and Suzanne handle him brilliant and with such care, it has gone so well! As well as helping me out with walks it is really great for my 2 in improving how they socialise with other dogs. My dogs rush to the door with excitement when they get collected. Jaime and Suzanne have also been flexible with me, fitting in late requests when they can. I couldn’t recommend them enough!

Jaime and Suzanne have looked after our dog Milo for the last 3 holidays we have been on. We contacted them after a recommendation and we couldn’t be happier. Milo is so well cared for and is a happy boy spending time in this gorgeous rural setting. It’s a real home from home and Milo is so comfortable. It’s always hard leaving your pet but it’s made much easier knowing Milo is looked after so well.
