Highly professional service from start to end with Lesley. My dog was matched to a perfect couple who treated him like he was their own. I received regular updates and was totally at ease in the knowledge he was being well looked after. I will not hesitate to use Lesley again and my thanks to her and the 'foster parents' for taking such good care of Noodles. More...

Bolton area Barrow Bridge - Two woman from this company were walking across the field in barrow bridge just after the 63 steps today with 7 off lead dogs, I put my dog on a lead as I could see them in the distance, two of the dogs (black lab and black and white cocker) with them ran across the field and towards my dog, but dogs were friendly but did not have any recall as the woman called them both back over 30 times and neither of the dogs returned to them, they decided to sniff my dog and jump on him instead. You’d think as professionals they would be able to see I had placed my dog back on his lead for a reason and didn’t want to be approached by off lead dogs. They were not close enough to be able to grab any of the dogs if my dog was reactive and they had been a fight. Luckily this wasn’t the case I’m just the nervous one. Eventually my friend had to walk on with my dog whilst I held the other two dogs collars whilst one of the ladies made their way across the field to drag the two dogs back to where they originally was. I wouldn’t personally recommend them walking my dog if they let them off with no recall in place, anyone could have picked them dogs up and walked away or they could have been hurt if a reactive dog decided to attack. The woman offered no apology to me, they simply laughed it off and walked away, not very professional. Hope I’m the future they don’t bump into another dog who would hurt someone beloved pet because of the lack of common sense of the people they pay money too look after their dog! More...

So happy to have found this great alternative to kennels. Emma (Warrington & surrounding areas) did a fabulous job from our initial enquiry to dropping Dennis off after his holiday. The welcome pack included a list of items to pack and told us everything we needed to know. We especially loved the photo updates, showing what a great time he was having. Excellent service, tailored specifically to our needs. Already booked for our next holiday, highly recommended. More...

Our elderly cross Staffie needs extra TLC these days so we decided to try Digs for Dogs when we were away for a week. Susan at the Prestwich branch was great. She came to the house to meet our old boy and do a full assessment first. He was placed with the lovely Joanne who sent photos of how comfy and settled he was. We couldn't ask for a better service. Highly recommended! More...

Rafa has been on two walks with Nicole now and the videos she sends me show a very happy and friendly group of dogs. Rafa bounces along and it’s just the best feeling. I didn’t think my other dog, Lana, would want to go along on the walks. She is very shy and nervous when meeting new people, but Nicole has made her feel so happy and relaxed she’s joining the group as well for walks. What a fantastic week it’s been for us all. Thank you Nicole 😊🐾❤️🐾❤️ More...

As soon as I made contact with Digs for Dogs and met Seana I knew that our Beagle Milo would be well looked after whilst we were away. From the first meeting it was obvious that Seana was a dog person and Milo took a liking to her immediately! I soon felt confident that Milo would be placed with a loving family that would care for him as much as we do. Exactly that happened, he had a wonderful holiday and was reluctant to return home! From homemade meals (he was disgusted at the return of his regular biscuits), walks and socialising with all of his new dog friends we know that he was well cared for. I appreciated the regular updates and photos and Seana is now my go to dog sitter! Thank you for everything, love Milo and family x More...

From the very first contact with Lesley, we have been put totally at ease. Our Boston Terrier Jet, absolutely LOVES her holidays . Jet has been matched to a couple of families, and she has had a brilliant time at all of them. Sometimes we think she enjoys her holidays more than being at home (who doesn’t!). During the recent heat wave , I was reassured daily that she was ok, being kept cool, and generally being pampered. This really helped us to enjoy our holiday, as she is a short nosed breed, so can be prone to over heating. When Jet sees Lesley call to collect her , she does a happy dance! Thanks for taking such good care of her. 💖 More...

I highly recommend Digs for Dogs as a dog boarding service. We had a bad experience previous to trying them out and we couldn't be happier. Emma was our point of contact and she did a great job. She was communicative , adaptable , and thoughtful. If you are looking for a dog boarding service, Digs for Dogs is a great choice. More...

Highly Recommend Digs for Dogs! Our Willow went on her first “holiday” this summer and we really had peace of mind that she was being cared for properly and given the attention she would have had at home. Joanne went the extra mile to make sure Willow was with the right family, starting with a very thorough assessment and later taking her to meet the family and walk with their own dog to make sure they got on well and would be fine living together for the week. Will definitely use them again and have no hesitation in recommending their service! More...
