Highly recommend Big Brown Paws

''Awesome. Our young dog loves heading off to daycare and comes home happy and tired from the days activities. So great to see photos of her adventures and know she is out having fun rather than bored and up to mischief at home. Highly recommend Big Brown Paws to anyone considering daycare for their pup.''

Such happy dogs

"2nd day of a 4 day adventure for my 2 boys at Big brown Paws. Such happy dogs and lovely to have a catch up at the end of the day to make sure they had behaved!! Would recommend to all, especially those with high energy pups, makes for nice peaceful cuddles at night instead of running mad around the house all night. Would recommend to all and we will be sending Frank and George as treats as often as possible!"

filled of fun filled adventure

Our two dogs have been going to doggie daycare for about 4 months twice a week. They are always so excited to go in the mornings and so tired when I pick them up. The staff are awesome and so knowledgable. Would highly recommend sending your pooch for a day filled of fun filled adventure.

Highly recommend anyone to go up and check this place out

My wee girl has been going for a month now. She only goes on a Friday and I get them to bath and brush her too. She comes home looking and smelling so nice. She is slowly getting used to the other dogs there but apparently feels more at home with the smaller dogs. I love how they are able to separate the dogs so none feel too out of their comfort zone. Highly recommend anyone to go up and check this place out it is well worth it...and they have a pick up and drop off service too

professionalism and genuine love of dogs

Alicia cared for our treasured old Beau Boxer with that special mix of professionalism and genuine love of dogs. This was no 'hands off' transaction. Alicia loved caring for Beau, respected our trust and ensured he was fed, watered and exercised while also giving him the affection he is used to. The biggest test of that was walking past her home and finding Beau tugging on the leash to want to go visit! Alicia also takes the responsibility for caring for dogs very seriously. She is the only carer I have known who wanted not only vet details but other contact details as well as dietary and other instructions. All information recorded on dedicated files for Beau. She deserves to do well.

Nothing is too much trouble for our Ruby

Alicia has cared for our dog Ruby since she was a puppy. Alicia has a wonderfully calm manner and obviously cares for all the pets she has been entrusted with . Nothing is too much trouble and Ruby comes home happy and relaxed. Alicia has made herself indispensable to our household.. We would highly recommend her service.

Pamper Pooch

''Yesterday our Mobility Assistance Dog, Jewel, was picked up for a well earned day of fun, adventure and pampering. Alicia and team did an excellent job and madam was returned later a happy, tired and glamorous Retriever. Thanks.''
