Sam did a brilliant job of taking care of our two dogs for three weeks. She is clearly someone who knows and loves dogs, and ours were happy and in good condition when they came back to us. Many thanks

Excellent service . I always pick up a happy dog when she has stayed here with Sam . My mind is completely at rest as I know she is safe and being well cared for . I would thoroughly recommend Westwinds , and frequently do .

I would highly recommend this kennels. My dog Ben now stays here every time we go away and has a wonderful time with Sam. I continue to use this kennel even though we now live quite a long way away from Lands End. I wouldn't trust any other kennels to look after him the way Sam does. Ben is a very lively dog and really enjoys the attention and walks that Sam provides. She makes allowances for his quirks and manages these well. Her care is second to none. As I said highly recommended!!!

Sam's great, and our young dog Mabel had a brilliant time there, playing with her new friends. Sam sent us a couple of videos whilst we were on holiday (which was an added bonus, and really thoughtful of Sam) and we couldn't believe how much Mabel was enjoying herself (the traitor) - you could see she was having an absolute blast. This really put our minds at rest, so we could relax and enjoy our holiday. And the fact that it's a small kennels is good too - Sam has the time to play with and thoroughly exercise all the dogs in her care, and the dogs get to make good friends, and to spend plenty

Our Munsterlander, Charlie, has stayed at Westwinds many times. Hes been in several different kennels in various parts of the country in his relatively long life (nearly fourteen now). He's a sociable but sensitive soul, and Westwinds is one of the very few boarding kennels where hes been consistently happy to go: he always runs up to Sam with his tail wagging when we drop him off! We never leave him anywhere else now. During the time Charlie has boarded regularly with Sam hes had both knees replaced, and though these were fine for the first three or four years, more recently hes got

We have taken our two GSDs there several times, including one when my boy was six weeks into recovery from cruciate implant surgery. Sam knew exactly what to do to look after him, in fact our vet confirmed our confidence in her knowledge & care. They are happy & relaxed in her company, greeting her with joy when they see her. There are very few people I would trust with our two, Sam is one of them.
