Ayrshire Dog Care

“Both my dogs have been going to ayrshire dog care since they were little pups. They have more opportunity to socialise safely with dogs of all ages and sizes than I could ever provide for them, and they come home happy and tired! The dogs are supervised and safe and there are plenty of toys, activities and nooks and crannies for them to run around, and pictures on Facebook to show their antics! I highly recommend mags and Stewart for the peace of mind of knowing your dog is well cared for, safe and most importantly happy! ”

“I decided to contact Ayrshire Dog Care about walking my two dogs after checking the website and having a good gut instinct about them - and I'm glad I did! Margaret immediately put myself and my two dogs at ease during our first meeting at her home - after 10 minutes Dixie the Doodle was chilled out on the rug and ready to stay - a great sign. The personal service provided by Margaret from day one has been fantastic. I am happy that Dixie and Casey are well walked and looked after and Margaret gives me updates on their progress and behaviour! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Margaret and Ayrshire Dog Care.”

“Having just returned home from picking up Bute after his stay with you, I wanted to say "thank you" for looking after him and for the welcome you gave us when we visited before we left Bute and when we picked him up again at the end of our holiday. You have a great facility for the dogs and obviously enjoy what you are doing. Having visited a couple of other facilities prior to booking up, yours stuck out not only through your welcome of both Bute and ourselves, but also the overall hygiene and conditions of your grounds and facilities which are superb. The paddling pool and sandpit for the dogs are nice touches! The texts you sent us on how Bute was getting on and the photos of what he got up to were a nice touch too. We will definitely book Bute back in when we go away on holiday next time.”

“They say first impressions are lasting impressions and that is definitely the case with Margaret from Ayrshire Dog Care! We just knew when we first met her that she was a very special lady indeed. We had lost our beautiful boy Aaron, in January and were obviously heartbroken. Our lives were so empty without Aaron but with help and thanks to Margaret we were able to embark on a new adventure with another German Shepherd puppy, Jaro. We both work full time and wanted to offer our new baby the best we could in life, and that is truly what Ayrshire Dog Care provides. Jaro is a very, very happy wee puppy, well socialised and can play safely and happily with all his pals, under the gentle, caring eye of Margaret, in a beautiful, natural environment surrounded by the gorgeous Ayrshire countryside. Margaret goes above and beyond the call of duty - keeping in touch with us to let us know what Jaro is up to, genuinely caring for Jaro as if he were her own. This isn't a job for Margaret it is a vocation because of her love of animals. Even when Jaro isn't with her, she is still in touch with us to see how he is doing and has given us tips on training, diet and health, obviously gained through her love and experience of animals. We can go to work knowing that Jaro is having the time of his life - we know if he could talk he would tell us how happy he is. When the car is going up the drive, Jaro is going crazy to to get to see his Auntie Margaret, Uncle Stuart and all his furry friends! Our home and lives have that extra special spark again, thanks to Ayrshire Dog Care.”

“Just a short note to say how much we enjoyed our holidays again and to say thanks for processing our holiday snaps so quickly.The accommodation was, as usual, first class. We particularly enjoyed the TV room in the evening, watching TV with Uncle Stuart - we can't speak highly enough of him - and the chill room was to die for. The food was good too! It was also very nice to meet and socialise with the other guests during the day but a bit puzzling to find they disappeared for the night around 5pm. Perhaps they stayed in their own rooms as we never saw them again until after breakfast the following morning! All in all a fantastic holiday and hope to see you again soon for another stay.”

“"Home from Home" for Arch when he goes to stay with Aunt Mags and Uncle Stuart. Oh and he does love the home comforts they provide as can be seen in "the gallery"! When we were away for a week's holiday, he had a ball in the sandpit and paddling pool - just the same as his mum! Archie thoroughly recommends going to stay with all his friends at Ayrshire Dog Care”
