Dog Sitting Service
read moreIts really important to get to know you and your dog, especially in the beginning. Well come to you for an initial registration meeting which takes an hour, to find out about feeding and exercising routines, likes and dislikes and any other individual needs, so that we can match your dog/s with exactly the right family. No two dogs are ever the same so please dont worry, we love dogs of all shapes, sizes and ages, pedigree, Heinz 57 or rescue. They can sleep in the bedroom, pull on the lead, or even hide your favourite socks so long as theyre friendly wed love to meet them.

Hayley and Adam
read moreOur experience of Barking Mad has been amazing. A care free service for the owners and our dog Louie always comes home relaxed and happy.
Having used kennels before Louie came back dirty and scared but Barking Mad is a home away from home service and we couldn't be happier.
We have suggested the service to many people and will continue to do so as we believe that dogs deserve holidays too!!
Graham Forbes
read moreHaving used Barking mad once before i didnt expect any issues and pleased to say that was proved correct .
After meeting Alaine I was confident and completly at ease about leaving my girls for two weeks. She had professional approach but it was also obvious she loves her job.
During our holiday we recieved constant updates and photos from there multiple trips and walks on the beach and countryside. These girls are large dogs and not easy to control if they get exited but no wories there ether .
This is a much better option than kennels where the dogs are locked up for hrs on end I would highy recomend Barking mad service and especially Alaine and David .
