What Dog Owners in York Say
“Honestly better than any kennels I've ever used. My dog came home happy, not traumatised. GPS updates every walk — amazing.”
“The meet-and-greet made all the difference. My anxious rescue was nervous at first, but by day 2 he was settled and comfortable. Brilliant service.”
“Used UrPetPals for 2 weeks while we were in Spain. Photo updates every day, zero worry. My dog slept better in the host's home than she does at mine.”
