Dog Minding Testimonials

I want to thank you for placing Flicka with Olwyn and her family for a month. This was a great success. They are so lovely and gave Flicka the very best care. I was able to go away without any concern for her whatsoever. Flicka was actually very ho hum about coming home when my daughter went to pick her up. She'd had such a great time.

Guardians has been an invaluable service for our family. We travel quite frequently overseas and Andy and his team give us complete peace of mind with their diligent vetting process on minders. Our dog Duffy is clearly very happy staying with her minders. Giving her a consistent and loving situation when we travel makes it a no stress situation for us and Duffy. Thank you Guardians!

We were absolutely rapt with the match up for Noodle, with Jenny, all parties were very happy and if any dog needs an endorsement, Noodle will happily bark her support.

Paul Spicer, Dog Owner
Minnie has had many stays through Guardians and has always come home fat and happy, compared to skinny and nervous from her previous kennel visits. Being a very anxious little dog, it has been so important for me to find her minders that really understand what she needs for her to enjoy her stay, and make me feel comfortable leaving her.
Minnie , Dog Owner
We are very delighted to provide this letter of commendation to prospective users of the quite excellent services of GUARDIANS dog boarding company.
Without any doubt this is a very reassuring, competently run organisation, reasonably priced and we have no hesitation in recommending its services to those whose dogs are “special” and dearly loved.
Martin and Nyra Harriman, Dog Owner
We got back from our two week trip yesterday morning, and picked up Lola from Mike and Jenny.

She is so settled and happy, and clearly loves her guardians, as they seem to love her. They give her such a wonderful home away from home.

Thanks for providing this fantastic service. It is just great that she gets to enjoy the time we are away as much as we do.
Bridget Brent, Dog Owner
Bentley goes and stays with James and Katie, he knows where we are going and gets excited as we approach the driveway and bounds up to the door. Then when I collect him he is asleep by the time we leave the driveway. I am told he loves to play ball with Jay their son and when we are out now he goes to see all small children thinking it is his new friend Jay!! I am so happy with Guardians' service. Thank you for letting Bentley have a second home and giving me piece of mind.
Jenny Caple, Dog Owner
Thanks very much for sending the text about Dot settling into her first stay with Guardians - really appreciated it!
Picked her up yesterday - she looks brilliant and has carried on at home as if she hasn't been away - just fabulous.
Olwyn does an excellent job and I would thoroughly recommend her.
Adrienne Milburn, Dog Owner
Thank you Guardians & Tina and her family for the care and love they gave to Shiloh. It was quite a headache what to do with our little pooch when we went on holiday. Then we found you - Guardians - and that is exactly what you were to us. Shiloh had the time of her life. It definetly helped to know that she stayed with a family who cared for her giving lots of attention love. No longer do we need to worry when we go away!
Thank you very much-Rodney, Elzabé, Shana, Nicholis and Shiloh
Elzabe Du Toit, Dog Owner
Ollie is very lucky to have Heather and Don as his other family.
This is a fantastic service you're running – makes going away a breeze and no guilty feeling!
Chris Glew, Dog Owner
Thank you so much to Dan and Tina for looking after Stig. He had such a good time, I’m sure he didn’t want to leave!

Dan and Tina so obviously love dogs and they certainly looked after Stig very well!

Thanks so much

Josh and Jodi :)
Jodi and Josh, Dog Owner
We loved having Stig stay with Julia and Bev – he had a great time playing with their dog. He was well looked after and came home happy. They are lovely people and quite obviously loved Stig!

Thank you

Jodi

We just wanted to let you know how much we appreciate, Bev, Julia and Ben's care of Albert.
They are a great family and it is quite obvious that they have Albert's interests at heart. I keep recommending them to people I talk to.

Please thank them on our behalf (although I think they know we appreciate their care and attention).
Helen and Mat Fleming, Dog Owner
Just a quick note to say I collected Bernard yesterday from the minders. He is so healthy and happy, and has had a great time. He even had the company of his pommy dog friend on his last day. It is great to find such a lovely service in New Zealand, which sets our minds at rest when we travel. Thanks for all your help with our last minute arrangements, we will definitely be in contact for future trips.
Natalie Taylor, Dog Owner
I cannot speak highly enough of the level of service and care, my standard poodle Coco and I receive from Guardians dog minding. I have always found the Guardians dog minding team to be prompt, professional and caring in their dealings with us.

I appreciate the time and consideration that was taken to ensure Coco is placed in the right environment. Coco has had 2 families she stays with and both have cared for her so well I don't think she always wants to go home!
Natalie McConnell, Dog Owner
"I am thrilled with the team at Guardians dog minding team. My beloved pooch Quinn's stays with the Guardians dog minders have been really fun and enjoyable for him and I can relax in the knowledge that while I am away he is being taken care of by the loving Guardians dog minders as if he were their own"
