Holiday Ark

I have been using the services of Holiday Ark since it's inception 5 years ago. Our family had just got a very lively Viszla puppy, Ruby, and we needed somebody to help with walks, AND to continue the training needed for such a strong minded breed. Jackie and the team did that without question, and helped us get through that first year of dog ownership. We regularly send our dog to the Ark for day care and sleep overs, which she loves. Ruby loves being in the company of Max and the other regular dogs visiting the Ark, and it is great to see her interact with her doggie friends when out walking. All in all I find Jackie's service to be flexible, efficient and very good value.

Jackie has looked after our two cats whenever we have been away during the last two years. Both are elderly cats requiring daily medication, and Jackie has never let them down. She has made herself available even at very short notice and I can honestly say I don't know what we'd do without her. Highly recommended.

Jackie has looked after our Labrador Mac since he was a puppy 3 years ago. In the initial stages Jackie provided us with sound advice on how to train Mac with his walking and with general house behaviour. She regularly walks Mac and he is more than happy to stay at hers every so often when we go on holiday. With Jackie's flexibility and experience, we don't know who else we could turn to that is so reliable and trustworthy with our Mac. We would not hesitate to recommend Holiday Ark to anyone.Richard & Elizabeth MalinOxford

Jackie is a brilliant walker. She has looked after our dog since a little pup and is always reliable and friendly. Our dog loves his walks with her!

Jackie looks after our dog when we have days away as a family or family holidays. Having Jackie look.after our dog makes these times for us completely stress and worry free. Our dog has a home from home with Jackie and we are so happy with the great service she provides. We highly recommend Holiday Ark.

I couldn't recommend Jackie highly enough. She has walked our dog Molly for about 3-4 years and has always, from day 1, taken great care of her. Molly seems to know when Jackie is coming and always waits expectantly, going off with her without a look back! Jackie has been extremely flexible and always managed to help out even at the 11th hour. There needs to be a Holiday Ark in every county!

I cannot say enough good things about Holiday Ark. Jackie regularly walks our dog and is reliable, flexible, and very responsive to questions or last minute bookings. We have boarded him with her over the weekend and were able to go on holiday knowing he was in very capable hands. We returned to find him happy and relaxed. Wonderful service and will definitely continue to use!

Have used Jackie for 4 years now, both for dog walking three days a week, and for boarding. She has never let us down and Luna loves her to bits. A long time she also looked after our rabbits and they came back better behaved than when we dropped them off!!

Holiday Ark provides a fantastic service, Jackie is very professional, thorough and reliable, and genuinely cares about the animals she looks after. I have absolutely no reservations about leaving our cat in her capable hands. The client-consultations she undertakes a week or so before the visits commence offer both sides an opportunity to ensure absolute everything is covered and agreed in advance, although she has always been very accommodating even when we've needed to add extras in, change dates etc after the consultation. It is such a relief for us to know our boy is being properly cared for by a warm and friendly human when we're away on a well-earned holiday - we don't need to stress about him at all!

Jackie has looked after our rabbit Mary Lou on a number of occasions now and we really couldn't imagine anyone looking after her as well as Jackie has. Mary Lou always comes back to us in great condition, happy and healthy. Jackie is incredibly personable and clearly loves the animals in her care as much as their owners.Furthermore, Jackie has gone above and beyond for us and really got us out of a tight spot. After Christmas, I had booked a taxi to take me to collect Mary Lou but the estate was not big enough for her cage. Jackie instead delivered the cage back to us, following in her van. Really above and beyond.In my experience, Jackie gives exemplary service and I couldn't imagine leaving our pet with anyone else.
