A fantastic service we have been perfectly matched with Ashley who had our sprocker Lucy for just over two weeks and had an amazing stay with this family. the pupdates and photos were amazing showing us that Lucy was loving life and the love and care that was shown to her was outstanding. Lucy is a much loved and spoilt pooch and loved her home from home experience so much so she can't wait till we book another holiday so she gets to see Ashley and her family again and new bf Rosie Thank you Andrea and team at Digs for Dogs, to be able to go away and know that your dog is happy and safe is just amazing 🐕🦺🐕🦺🐕🦺🐕🦺🐕🦺🐕🦺 More...

My mother, who is almost 80, recently lost her dog in April of this year to cancer. Whilst still grieving, my mother called dig for dogs to advise of her loss and cancel her booking. The booking wasn't until August, so plenty of notice was given. Although the lady she spoke to was empathetic, she only offered a 50% refund and claimed the remaining 50% was to cover admin charges. So, digs for dogs admin fees when cancelling are £250, which seem rather excessive in my professional opinion as a Procurement Contract Manager. This is day light robbery and I will be pursuing the outstanding balance once I have reviewed the T&Cs. Rest assured, as a family, we will never use this service again, nor would we recommended it. Buyer beware!!! More...

I have been using Catherine and Carl for about 5 months now and I can’t thank them enough. They are so professional in every thing they do. they are fabulous with Honey our Labrador who loves them and is so happy to go with them. they have both helped her become more socially confident and are very flexible around my shifts. Would highly recommend them More...

We were referred to Catherine's dog walking services by a neighbor. We were initially concerned because our dog is very nervous, especially around new people. However, Catherine and her husband have been incredibly wonderful. They empathise with our concerns and worked through them. Their understanding of dogs and their behavior is exceptional. Since our dog started walking and socialising with other dogs under Catherine's care, we have noticed a definite improvement. I cannot recommend Catherine enough; she is lovely, and now Kobi gets excited when he sees her and the van. More...

Such a great experience using digs for dogs with us being first time dog parents! Emma put us at ease and came and met our puppy before then taking him to meet his temporary owners to ensure they were a good fit! Taco loved them so all was set for when we went away. We received pupdates while we were away and pictures of him too which put our mind at ease massively. Couldn’t recommend digs for dogs enough Emma is great and very attentive ❤️ I have already recommended her to friends. X More...

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...

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...

Puppy Visits
What’s better than a fluffy new ball of fun?
Puppies are amazing, but they also bring new responsibility which can be a concern for owners who are at work or out of the house for long periods.
Digs for Dogs offer a specialist service to ensure that your new bundle of energy is happy and settled when you are not around, getting the attention and socialisation that is so important during the first months.
We provide companionship and care visits that include house or garden play, feeding – and plenty of cuddles and affection. When your puppy is ready, we will start short walks from your house which will develop into a full walk as the dog gets older, stronger and more socialised.
Whatever your puppy needs, we can help to ensure that he or she gets the best start in life.
Elderly Dog Care
As a loving dog owner, you’ll want to ensure that your faithful friend makes the most of their golden years. Elderly dogs can require addition care which can cause concern for owners who are out of the house for long periods.
Digs for Dogs offer a specialist service to ensure that the Golden Oldies are happy and settled when their owners are not around. We provide companionship and care visits which include house or garden play, short walks from the house – or perhaps simply a cuddle on the sofa. We can also help to manage feeding routines and administer medication if required.
Whatever your older dog needs, we can help him or her live their life to the full.
Dog Walking
We appreciate that every dog has different needs and we tailor our walks around that.
Some dogs love to walk in a pack, racing around in the fresh air with other dogs which is great for socialisation. Often, they will be out with the same group of dogs each time so they’ll make some firm friends.
Other dogs require the extra attention of a solo walk. They may prefer to walk without other dogs, or they may have challenges that mean that it is better for them to be walked alone. Wherever possible, we’ll use solo walks to try to integrate your dog in to a group walk.
Whichever best suits your pooch, we’ll make sure they have plenty of exercise and plenty of fun and then I will return them warm, dry, and ready for a snooze.
Pet Taxi Service
Sometimes it can be complicated to get your dog from A to B.
Digs for Dogs can assist with our comfortable, specially designed, pet-friendly, air-conditioned vehicles.
We can safely transport your dog to wherever you need them to be, whether it’s a trip to the vets, a house move or helping an elderly relative get their dog around.
We can also return your pet to an agreed location and if nobody is home, we will make sure they are fed, watered and settled before we leave them.
