"Simply THE BEST!"
Miss Annal
I only used Croft Pet Services once when I asked them to
look after 5 cats - 3 pampered pets indoors and 2 strays in
a garden shed. The initial booking was for 10 days but due
to circumstances beyond my control it was to be 8 long
months before they saw me again! What a nightmare scenario
that could have been but for that fantastic team! Any
worries were dispelled early on when it became clear
everything was under control and no matter how often my
return dates were changed I was met with the same calm
assurance that the cats were all fine and they'd keep
visiting until I got back. Every cat's needs were met and
concern for the ones outdoors when temperatures plummeted
were quickly allayed when I was informed they'd already
been issued with heat pads! Friendly, reliable, dependable,
helpful, after 8 months of continuous assistance I ran out
of superlatives - they're just Simply the Best! All I
expected was for the cats to be cared for. I did not expect
to return each time to a spotlessly clean house! No mean
feat with 3 endlessly messy felines! But, best of all the
cats were clearly content and that spoke volumes.
The knowledge that the cats were fine, I could check any
time without feeling I was being a nuisance, and anything
in the house they thought needed attention, mail forwarding
for example, it was done. They do everything you expect but
just go that extra mile. Croft Pet Services are, quite
simply, the best I've ever encountered in over 20 years and
I cannot praise them highly enough. I cannot recommend
highly enough Croft Pet Services for their reliability,
flexability and friendly service. They have always gone out
of their way to be available even at short notice. The
peace of mind knowing our dog is being well walked and
cared for while we are out is invaluable.
"Dogs' home from home."
Ms van Mesdag.
My two dogs have been staying with Croft many times over
the past four years or so. They have been for both short
and for much longer visits for up to a month. For an honest
opinion of Croft's services, I have no greater praise to
convey than the opinion of my dogs themselves. When Croft's
staff come to collect the dogs, the dogs do not bother with
goodbyes - they simply dash out of the house and into the
Croft van. Sometimes, when I'm in a different part of the
country, I have to take the dogs to other, formal kennels
instead and on each of those occasions I have had to drag
them there. Not so with Croft. In fact sometimes my dogs
are even a little reluctant to come home again. At Croft
they are treated like important visitors whereas at other
kennels they are treated like prisoners. At Croft they live
with the family and are treated as such. For my dogs Croft
truly is a home from home. The service provided by Croft is
second to none: they have always been able to fit our dogs
in and even take the dogs on short notice when necessary
and they will collect from our house in town or allow us
to bring them according to our needs.

"A really fantastic service!"
Miss BallantyneI cannot recommend Croft Pets highly enough! They are reliable, flexible and an excellent source of advice if you have any concerns. I've used them for over a year, and they have been reliable even in the worst of weather. They have been so good with my little collie, and he obviously really enjoys his walks with them. A great service, which is fantastic value!
