I am thrilled to share my positive experience with Samantha over the Christmas holidays….

February 20, 2024

I am thrilled to share my positive experience with Samantha over the Christmas holidays. The level of care and affection provided to Bailey was truly exceptional. Samantha’s loving nature was evident in every interaction, creating a warm and comfortable environment for Bailey during our absence.

Bailey not only received attentive care but was so genuinely happy and content in the updates and photos I received. She had her own holiday away from home. Samantha went above and beyond, ensuring Bailey’s routine was maintained, and special attention was given to any special needs.

During the holiday season, it’s especially heartwarming to know that Bailey was not just looked after but embraced with genuine love and enthusiasm. She even received a present and treats from Santa! I highly recommend Samantha for her outstanding commitment, compassionate approach, and the peace of mind she provided. It’s evident that Bailey wasn’t just a pet to them but a cherished part of their temporary family.

Samantha has boarded my Viszla on two occasions. It would be more however word has got out and her popularity has meant I was unable to get the dates I needed!!

Samantha encouraged us to visit a couple of times prior to boarding which was really helpful for my dog. This allowed him to meet Samantha’s two Viszla’s.

Jinky appeared very content and relaxed … from the photo updates that were sent to me while I was away.

I can’t recommend Samantha highly enough .. her care and regard shone through immediately when we first met and I am so happy to have found her!

Have you ever picked up your dog from a boarder and felt guilty for ending their fun? that’s the feeling you get when it’s time for your beloved pet to be collected from a stay at Benn View dog stays. Samantha treats your pooch with as much love, cuddles, attention and exercise as she does her own two beloved Hungarian Vizsla’s (who are super sweet dogs). Regular picture and text updates, attention to individual dog’s needs, lap cuddles in the evening are all part of the service as your dogs run around outdoors in the glorious and secure setting of this Aberdeenshire countryside retreat. Trust me your dog won’t want to leave and neither will you.

Polo, our Weimaraner, has stayed for holidays on a few occasions and loves it! Despite being a nervous girl, Samantha made sure she settled in and took the time to get to know her on visits before she had her holidays, where she met her own dogs, Vinnie and Rudy. Polo is so well loved and looked after while there and is treated just like one of Samantha’s own dogs, being allowed to relax on sofas and enjoying being fussed and cuddled. I was so reassured with regular updates and knowing she was settled and happy to be with Samantha and her dogs. It was also good that Samantha had experience of being with a clingy, Velcro dog, where polo is like her shadow! I couldn’t ask for more and knowing that polo is well looked after and happy is a huge relief meaning we can relax and enjoy our breaks. I would highly recommend Samantha. She is very caring and goes above and beyond for all the dogs staying with her.
