“Aldo has had an amazing time with Amanda and Brian at Burnside Home Boarding for a week in July. He was looked after so well and his every need was catered for you can really tell that Amanda and Brian put lots of love and care into what they do and the whole set up is amazing for any kind of dog , so home from home that I am sure that he will be very happy to go and stay there again. I would 100% recommend having your dog stay and I had no issues at all. Thanks to Amanda for the photos over the week and the text updates and when he was dropped off the lovely written summary of his stay which was a lovely touch ! Hope to be booking in again soon , good luck with the business I can only think it will go from strength to strength … thanks again from us and Aldo!”

“Amanda and Brian have given first class service to our dog Billy. They have treated him like he was part of the family and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them and use their services again. We feel it’s a very home from home setting and couldn’t ask for anything more. Well done to them both.”

“I left my 2 wirehaired dachshunds for a week with amanda and Brian and they had an absolute blast..regular photo updates looking like they were ruling the roost (especially winnie). I couldn’t recommend them enough..such lovely people making the dogs feel at home..great long walks to tire them out and loving cuddles on the sofa! The surroundings are amazing, just what my 2 needed..lots of space and free roaming in the garden to enjoy the smells! Thanks again so much for all you did (and the late notice extra night). Double trouble will definitely be back..if you will have them!!”

“Delighted to have discovered Burnside home boarding. We can enjoy our break knowing Hinny is settled, comfortable and well looked after. Amanda and Brian accepted our gradual pace to meet, then stay overnight and then three nights. Hinny enjoyed her holiday. Detailed notes from Amanda and photos reassured us that she had a great time and was truly cared for, even being able to share bedroom with humans! Amanda kept to Hinny’s routine so no disruption on returning home. It was lovely to see Hinny happy to go back to stay. Could not be better.”

“Our Pippy has just had the most amazing days with Amanda and Brian . The videos and photos meant so much to us, total reassurance-not that we needed it at all as you just know your precious family members with four legs are going to be so well looked after! Pippy had amazing walks, lots of cuddles-everything Amanda & Brian did was definitely a Home From Home, pippy was relaxed safe and happy & even made friends with other furry animals. 100% recommended!”

“Bruno has just had the most amazing 15 nights with Amanda & Brian. I received regular updates, videos & pics on Brunos adventures which was massively reassuring although I knew he was going to be well looked after. He was treated like he was one of their own, which is why we chose Burnside Home Boarding. I will not put my boy anywhere other than here. Peace of mind is priceless and that is exactly what I got. You certainly won’t be disappointed.”

It was great to leave him in the safe and very capable hands of Amanda and Brian who looked after him superbly so we had no worries at all and a lovely stress free time! It was great to get updates and photos. I would highly recommend their place for your pet a wonderful home from home! 5 star stay all the way! Thanks again we will be back soon.”

“Maggie stayed with Amanda while we had our family holiday in Turkey. We honestly can’t recommend Burnside Home Boarding enough, Maggie has a fantastic time with amazing walks. communication was excellent and our minds were at rest the entire time we were away. She even has an extra special day for her birthday which fell during that time. 10/10 the perfect dog boarding.”

Regular updates with video and photos gives us peace of mind while away. They get individual care and attention in a comfortable home. We wouldn’t want to send them anywhere else. 100% recommend.”

“My two have just stayed with Amanda and Brian over the weekend and couldn’t recommend them enough! It was a peace of mind knowing they settled in and were happy and relaxed especially since this was the first time being left that wasn’t with a family member. Thank you so much again, we’ll 100% be using your services again.”

“My little Westie stopped with Amanda and Brian last week. Amanda was amazing with Terry and his issues, he is nervous when it comes to change plus he wont let anyone touch him until he trust them. Within few days he let Amanda stroke him and by the end of week he was cuddling both Amanda and Brian. Amanda put myself at ease with daily updates with photos and videos showing Terry loving his long walks, playing in the garden and cuddling on sofa with them. Terry was allowed to treat their home like his own. I cant thank them enough for looking after Terry like he was their own. Terry is looking forward to his holiday next year with them.”
