The Doggy Retreat

The Doggy Retreat has taken brilliant care of our Labradoodle on many occasions, he always came back happy. Ellie is always very responsive and communicative and will send photos of your dog through the day.

The Doggy Retreat is great. Ellie looked after our little dog Bobby for a night whilst we celebrated my cousins wedding. She was flexible and accommodating and it was clear Bobby felt very comfortable in his home from home. We couldn't reccomend more highly.

I have moved to Newcastle upon Tyne and have not used a dog sitter up here in two years .That’s how particular I am for finding dog sitter I’m happy to leave Grace my forever little whippet with.I was so fortunate to find Ellie when I had hospital apps I couldn’t miss.I knew the moment I took Grace to visit her I would be more than happy and relaxed about Grace staying overnight with her .I would recommend anyone who is looking for a responsible, approachable, confident did sitter to contact Ellie. You won’t be disappointed and if I move back to Devon or if I am down for a visit Ellie is the only human I would leave Grace with and be able to totally relax knowing she would be cared for the same as I would care for her.Jan Carver

Gracie, our Frenchie x Pug, had a great time when she was taken care of by Ellie. Would highly recommend to anyone.

Daisy loves her visits to Ellie at The Doggy Retreat she was initially nervous but Ellie really helped her to settle quickly and sent reassuring updates. Daisy loves going to see her. She has stayed for a week whilst we were on holiday and had a great time and we were sent updates during the week which was lovely and she has stayed again since. If you are unsure about leaving your dog as I was I would recommend you meet Ellie as you can see that she loves dogs and the dogs love her. Even though it is quite a way to travel for us, it is worth it for the peace of mind that Daisy is happy and well cared for. A real home from home experience

Ellie was very welcoming and my dog settled in quickly. I received regular updates while I was away and I would definitely book in again.

I have used Ellie several times for doggy daycare and have been delighted with the service received. Bertie, our 6-month old mini schnauzer has been treated like one of the family and loves going. Ellie is very responsive to messages and requests as well as being super reliable. I have no hesitation in recommending The Doggy Retreat.

Ellie has been fantastic. Our puppy loves her and she is given a walk and her lunch while I am at work a couple of days a week. She is punctual and sends plenty of pics during her visit. Brilliant communication. Not sure what else we could ask for in a dog walker. She clearly loves her job!!

Daisy looks forward to going for a stay at the doggy retreat.

Really happy with the services that Ellie provides. My dachshund Louis has a home from home :)
