"We got Coco our Sprocker Spaniel at 8 months old and didn't really know what we were letting ourselves in for. She is a complete ball of energy and would walk for 8 hours a day if she could. So once we realised that leaving her alone while we were both at work was not an option, we were completely at a loss as to what to do, as neither my husband or I were in a position to take her with us. I got a copy of On Your Doorstep magazine and had a flick through and saw the advert which saved us and Coco. Animal Outings offered not only daycare for dogs, but daycare for dogs at the most fantastic daily/weekly rates.
I called Carroll and discussed taking Coco for an introduction. She can be quite a shy and nervous dog when she first meets people, so I knew as soon as she met Carroll and her family that she felt completely natural and comfortable in their home. She can't wait to get there on a morning and as soon as we get near Carroll's house, she runs around the car crying to get out. It is not only Carroll who is fantastic with our little girl, but also Mike and the kids adore her and I am 100% comfortable leaving her there all day Monday to Friday. I feel sure that she misses them when she is not with them and she gets such good excercise that she is worn out when I pick her up, which takes the pressure of my husband and me feeling the need to take her out for a long walk after work every night when we are tired.
Coco is going to Animal Outings for her holidays in November and January. This is a huge weight off our minds, as it is possible to leave your lovely pets with friends and family when you go away or put them into kennels, but it is so nice to know that she will be properly looked after and get the individual care and excercise that she needs on a daily basis.
Please don't ever stop doing what you do so well, you are a true godsend!" ~

"Our white boxer puppy Stan was the new addition into our family and I needed someone to come and walk him on days when I was in the office. I was new to all this and emailed Animal Outings to enquire about what services were available. Carroll telephoned me straight away and made an appointment to come and meet Stan, myself and my other half. Carroll took a lot of details about Stan and what we were wanting from the puppy walking. I felt very confident after the first meeting that this was going to work out. Carroll was friendly, enthusiastic and I felt less guilty about leaving my little boy during the day.
Stan adores Carroll and the daily diaries that we get are a brilliant way of being involved in what he’s been up to. Carroll has also done obedience training with Stan and left us training sheets and “homework” to do with him.
Stan is a very happy, well behaved little boy and having Carroll work with him has had fantastic results.
Carroll offers fantastic advice, she's always there at the last minute if plans change and feels like a second mum to Stan.
I can’t thank Carroll enough for the work that she does with Stan and would recommend her to anyone."

"Our kittens, Monty and Lily hadn't been with us very
long, they are also rather sensitive and nervous. The
thought of having to bundle them into a cat box and put
them into a cattery whilst we were on holiday just didn’t
seem right.
It was therefore fantastic to find Carroll and Animal
Outings. We were encouraged by glowing testimonials on the
website, and any few remaining concerns we might have had
disappeared on meeting her. Carroll took detailed notes
and was very friendly and professional. The cats didn’t
run a mile from her either, which was reassuring!
She came to feed and water them daily for a week, also
taking the time to play with them and give them some
attention.
On our return, we found two very happy little cats. It was
also comforting (and entertaining!) to find her diary of
how the week had gone, and see what they had got up to!
We wouldn’t hesitate to use her service again and would
thoroughly recommend it." ~ The Morans
"We have tried a variety of dog walkers in North Yorkshire and not really
felt totally happy that our dog Fred was in good hands. That was until we
met Carroll.
We are so pleased that our little puppy has someone who he loves to go out
and play with. he is a happier and better behaved dog (well most of the
time!). Carroll has been the most professional dog walker we've come across
and we feel safe that she has all the required paper work, and we know that
Fred is well looked after. Not only that but we get a daily diary of what he
has been up to so that, even though we are at work, we can still find out
what he has been up to. I have to say the best was when we went on holiday
for a week and we
got pictures and videos of his week with Carroll - it was
fantastic and he had a tremendous time - in fact I think he would like to
have Carroll as his surrogate Mum!
Thank you for all your help, walking him last minute when we have to work
late, and making our dog and happy one. I would recommend Carroll to
everyone, she's fab." ~

"I can thoroughly recommend the services of Carroll at Animal Outings. I was at first a little dubious about having a stranger coming to my house while I wasn’t there, but Carroll put my mind at ease with her friendly and professional manner. My two cats, Ozzy and Molly hadn’t been with us very long and the thought of putting them into a cattery just didn’t seem fair to them, so when I found Carroll, it really was a blessing! We booked Carroll to come in over 2 days to “feed and water” them and when we returned it was obvious that they had been very well cared for. Not only does Carroll feed them, but she also takes the time to play and get to know them so they feel confident when she’s around.
I would not hesitate to use Carroll and her fantastic service time and again… our days of booking boarding places are a thing of the past." ~ Jenni Hudson |
