Testimonials
"Jim is always my first choice of home for Susie and settles in immediately, meaning I can relax when I'm away. It's her home from home and she loves going there and gets on great with his own greyhound."

"Our greyhound was incredibly well looked after by Jim Wilson during several holidays. When we pulled up at Jim’s house, Jackson’s tail would wag so hard that we worried he might break the back windows in our car. He loved his holidays there. Jim treats his 4-legged guests like family and it shows. Highly recommend. ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️"

"Here's a review on behalf of Josie and Lewis. 🙂 Jim has looked after our dogs a few times over the last year. Lewis the greyhound is obviously relaxed there. Josie the lurcher absolutely loves Jim and the extensive toy collection. We know they're always well looked after and very spoiled by Jim and Marion"

"Our big dalmatian dave full of energy and wild. Jim and his family have always treated him with love and patience, tried to help in any way that they can and Dave always knows when we come to Jim's house no matter how long it's been. I can relax for an overnight business trip, spend time with my son one on one as a single parent or go away abroad knowing that my dog is cared for. I'm a bit wary of letting everyone know how amazing Jim is because his popularity speaks for itself and that often have to book well advance"

Our boy Marvin loved staying at Jim and Marion’s for his holidays. He was always glad to go there and enjoyed home comforts there and was well looked after and spoiled too. We went on our holidays and had no worries about our boy. We loved receiving photos and updates of him. Our lovely boy now sadly missed by all as he gained his wings.
