many thanks
Heather and Graham

Dear Robyn and Deb
Thanks for your email. Can I just say that Margaret was a wonderful carer and we would highly recommend her. We would also be very pleased to place the dogs in her care again.

Regards
Catherine

Just a note to say that James and I are back from our Holiday and picked Buster up yesterday and could not be happier with the lovely care and attention that our beloved Buster got. The service you provided for the care of pets is invalueable and we will recommend you to many of our friends and family.

Thankyou again.

Best wishes from

Alison, James and Buster

Gus had a wonderful stay with Barbara, he was treated very well and enjoyed their kindness. 
We were most impressed with your service and promptness and have every intention of continuing our future B & B holiday times with you.
Warmest regards

Virginia, Henk, Alex & Tess

& Gus of course!!!

We were very pleased with the service Moyra provided for our dogs.  It was a relief to know they would be so well looked after while we were away.  They seemed to have had a lovely time and I think they were a bit sorry to be leaving too (we think they were quite spoilt).

Thanks to you too.

Regards, Paul & Julie

Hi Ladies,
                         the dogs had a lovely time. I don't know how Margaret does it.  She seems unflappable with all those woofas running around. They were very well cared for and we didn't feel worried at all.  The dogs were pooped when they got home and I think they're a bit bored with us! 

Thanks again,

will need help with accom in September hols again.

regards,

Marli.

Hi guys

Jensen had a terrific stay with Barbara and Michael, I was so glad that I didnt have to put Jensen in a kennel. My mind was put at ease and I called Barbara every couple of days to see how he was going.  Everything was good.

I will remember you guys for the future, thanks again

Hi,

Thank you, Jan looked after Rosie very well. Must have had a great time with Jan’s own dogs as she came home and slept for most of the next two days!

Regards,
 Ross

Thanks for all your help in finding a minder for Dudley, he had a great time with Darren (although it was nice to see he had missed us when we picked him up)!
 
We had a great holiday and the wedding was absolutely beautiful and it makes such a difference knowing he was being so well looked after while we were away.  Darren was a lovely host for Dudley - I was only worried about Dudley disgracing himself with an accident or two!  Apparently he was well behaved, although that could just be Darren being polite...
 
Thanks again for your help and we will definitely be in touch for future "Dudley holidays".
 
Regards
Kristen

Happy New Year to you.  I just wanted to let you know how thrilled we
were with Ritzy's stay with Amanda and James.  What wonderful people and
Ritzy seemed so happy with them.

Thank you also for being able to accommodate our needs at such short
notice. 

With warm regards

Miriam

I would like to thank you both for putting me in touch with Jayne. Penny was very happy with her and looked after with great care and love, I would have no hesitation in recommending Dogs Bed and Breakfast.

Many thanks

Yes, Whisper had a lovely time and Marie seemed to enjoy having him,
though I'm sure she didn't relish having to bath him after the encounter
with the puddle!
Thanks for organizing his stay I would certainly like to use Marie again
in the future.
Genista

Thank you for a wonderful service.  I would like to let you know that Monica did a wonderful job caring for Zac.  I can only compliment her on her welcoming/friendly manner.  Zac has never returned from a holiday in such a calm relaxed state.  On most occasions we are able to take Zac away with us but if the need ever arises again we will certainly be in touch.

Regards
Lyn H

Yes Tilly had a lovely holiday with Glenda.  It is great that I can go away and relax on holiday knowing that Tilly is in good care and off on outings to the beach as well.  Tilly ran right up to Glenda and licked her when we arrived.

I will be going away in January next year again and will get in touch when the dates are firmed up.

Thanks for your help as always.

Robyn

We picked Benson and Tilly up from Margaret's on Saturday night and they looked very happy and in excellent condition.  Benson had no problem with his back while we were away which was great news. 

They were both excited to see us and Benson ran out and jumped into the car, he wasn't going to let us leave him again. 

I would not hesitate to use Margaret again to look after our "puppies".  Her son did comment to her that they were very spoilt dogs and Margaret had to fight for leg space in bed at night. 

Hope you have a wonderful Christmas and a Happy and prosperous New Year.

Sue

Thanks for your note.   I had a lovely holiday and I didn't think of the dogs once - only Amanda - she might have needed to have her floor resurfaced!.   I was very pleased to leave them with her.

Thanks   Sandra

We felt very comfortable leaving Rasta & Lexi with Marika and Frank while we were on holidays, and will not hesitatate to contact you again whenever we go away.

thanks...  Sue

Thank you for your email, i have been meaning to be in touch with you for a couple of weeks.  Rastus had a great weekend with Tracey and her family, he was really well looked after. 

Thank you also for arranging everything so quickly for us.  I have already passed on your details to a few of my friends who I understand have been in touch with you.

We will definitely use you again when we need.

Thank you

Shannon

 

Poppy & Buffy had a wonderful stay with Sorana.  Her family are very caring people who obviously treated Poppy & Buffy like their own.  They came home very loved and happy.

You have a great carer there, and we would be delighted if in the future Poppy & Buffy could be placed there.

Cheers

Anne

As usual Sam and Lily had a fantastic time with Marion (and of course Max). They were really tired from all the fun they’ve had and did not miss us at all, which is exactly what we wanted.
Thanks again for finding us such a fantastic minder.
We will keep recommending you guys to all the dogs out there…

Daniela

P.S. A big WOOF from Sam & Lily

Just thought we would let you know that we are delighted with Justin's care of Trapper and Scout.

Our only complaint is that the dogs seem to be disappointed to have returned home :)

Cheers,

Julian

Dear Dogs B&B, 

Thanks so much for the great professional treatment which we received when we left Dallas with Marika, at such short notice.
We are not planning another break for a while - but you can be sure we will give you a call.  Marika and Frank really were perfect for our dog.  Thankyou!!
Peter and Janet

 

  Phoebe had a wonderful time with Barbara and her.dogs.  I think she ruled the roost and was quite spoilt.  Would be happy to use Barbara any time. [If she'd have her!!!
kind regards,
Marli.

Just a quick note to let you know that Mai-li seems to have had a lovely holiday with Margaret! She was in great spirits and looked lovely and groomed. Margaret seems like she's really good with dogs.

Regards,
Melanie

 

Just a short E mail to let you we were very happy with the service Andrew provided and would certainly contact you when we wish to go away in the future Cindy was very well cared for and settled back home straight away.
Thank You
Una

Thank you very much for the service.  Justin, Narla and Max were fantastic with Bebop, infact Bebop was not overly pleased to see us when we got back.     :(

Can you pass on our gratitude to Justin and his pets, he was very considerate to show Bebop, Greg and I around his home and make us feel at ease when leaving him for the first time.  He allowed me to pester him, constantly through the week end to check on Bebop.  He was also very forgiving when Bebop weekled on his carpet and chewed his sunglasses....Justin made the experience very easy.

We will be pleased to use your service (and Justin) again and infact would like to know a bit more about becoming a minder since it would be excellent company for Bebop.

What do we need to do to become a minder?

Regards

Sarah

Rosie had a terrific time with Mary on Thursday, she was so entertained she was quite exhausted when she came home. I will certainly be in touch later on.
Cheers,
Pat

Thanks again for putting onto Esther.  Ami had a wonderful time. I have passed your info onto our local vet.  they were very interested. They had heard of you but never had anyone used you. Hope this helps you. Will definitely use Esther again.

Kylie and Ami 

Hi there, thanks for the follow up & much appreciation for referring Sorana,
who was an absolute 'gem'.
Phoebe was taken into Sorana’s home with the entire family embracing her
as their own, caring and lovng her in the manner we were hoping for.......
all expectations were met for sure!

'til next time!
Kind regards
Bev

Coug's had a great time with Wendy, and she enjoyed his company very much too, so much I think she wanted to keep him.....  Thankyou again to you both for abling him to be looked after and thanks again to Wendy too. 

Cheers,  Michelle & Cougar.

I have been meaning to get in touch to thank you for everything, but we've been a bit busy starting up the year since we got back.
We picked Dizzy up on our way back from the airport and we were all feeling a bit yuck after being on the plane for about 12 hours and experiencing delays and missed connecting flights at Sydney! So I didn't get much of a chance to check out Dizzy's experiences with Sherry - except that he was a bad aggressive boy once and although Sherry seemed OK with it, I was sorry to have had him behave badly there.
Sherry was wonderful with Dizzy and certainly very laid back about taking him on. I can't thank her enough for looking after him so well. He seemed to flop around the house for a few days after we got back, so he probably enjoyed all the walks he went on. Sherry did say that he seemed to go with the flow, but it's probably more because of her experience with "strange" dogs and the ability to let them do whatever their thing is.
I worried about him for the first three days after we left. But by the time we reached Barcelona, I knew that there was nothing I could do and I just had to get over it! We were all glad not to have left him in a kennel and it was easier to enjoy our trip knowing he had a nice home and a special human to look after him while we were away.
I can't thank Dogs B&B enough for the service it offers to fretting dog owners and your choice of minder couldn't have been better.
Sherry did say she would have Dizzy back - even though he wasn't as well-behaved as he could have been - I do hope she wasn't just being polite, because if we travel away again and have to leave Diz behind, we would certainly like to avail ourselves of your service.
Can't thank you enough!
So thankyou and thankyou again!
Lorna and family -
and Dizzy
, of course.

 

Thanks so much for organising the dogs' accomodation in Melbourne. They had
a wonderful time with Regina, loved her house and back yard and got on with
her chihuahua and I got to run around and catch up with all my friends. Have
been recommending you to my dog-owning friends and will definitely be in
touch again if I visit Melbourne again later in the year,

best wishes
Lou

 

Mushi had a great time on both occasions that he stayed with Bruni & we are looking fwd to more in the future.

Thanks once again

Cheryl

 

Gabi and her daughter are soooo nice!!! - thanks again for the service.  No plans to go away again yet - but I'll let you know.
Cathy and Maddy (and Tilly)

Thanks for organising Ollie's stay over NYE, he had a fantastic time with the other Ollie and whimpered as we drove away after giving him multiple kisses on the nose beforehand.

Berry and her husband were very kind and seemed to take extra care of Ollie for which we were very grateful. If we are in VIC again, we will definitely use your service!

Thanks again,
Sarah.

Just wanted to let you know how pleased my husband and I both were with the way Trish looked after Bran while we were away.  She evidently looked after him with a lot of care and attention and he seemed to have been very happy with her.   He was homesick in the first couple of days and she rang us in Q'land to discuss what she should do to cheer him up.  We were highly impressed with her and her dog Spike - as was Bran! 

We were very hesitant about leaving him for a week, but his stay with Trish was definitely a great success.  We will definitely be contacting you - and Trish - if we go away again.  I have written personally to Trish to thank her for what she did, but you are more than welcome to pass on this email to her! 

Sandra and Carl were fabulous and I've already booked into use them again in February. They were so good with the dogs that it made me feel so comfortable to leave them there.

cheers, Jane

Gabbi was the best. I am completely uncomfortable with leaving him with anyone other than me or my husband, but I was completely relaxed with the whole idea over the weekend. She treated him as if he was her own.

Thank-you so much!!!

Thankyou so much for finding a carer for Cracker and Sparkle on such short notice. The dogs really loved Sherry and I could see that they had the same care in her home as they do here with me, even down to sleeping on the bed! The text messages she sent were very reassuring as I was worried about leaving them. Turned out they had a great vacation and were very tired when they got home.

Leanne

 

I am so grateful I had your brochure handed to me!

Oscar loved being with Eileen, it was so wonderful to leave our little man and have him stay with someone who gave him as much love as we do, although I do think perhaps Elileen spoilt the boy a little more than we do as he is still trying to get into my dressing grown pockets
as Eileen used to keep treat in hers and I think Oscar might be 
thinking that with persistence I might put some in mine! Not...hee hee!

Many thanks,

Emma and Oscar
