Richard absolutely loves his visits to Mabel and Friends. Even as an older dog (11 years) he can’t wait to get through the door to see what friends he has to play with each time. The staff are all so knowledgeable and attentive, and can recognise when Richard needs a cuddle or just some quiet time away from the more energetic dogs.
Mabel and Friends has given him a new lease of life thanks to the stimulating play and socialisation he receives when he’s there – and he comes home so content that he often sleeps for hours when he gets into his own bed.
A highlight of Richard’s visits are his grooming appointments. Jess is amazing, and Richard comes out looking and smelling wonderful. It saves me so much time to be able to book him in with Jess at the end of a morning day care session when he needs a tidy up.
I bring Richard here because it’s a chance for him to play and learn and be around other dogs. But it has become more than that…even as the old man of the pack, he is treated like he’s part of a second crazy family, and he loves it. xx
I’ve just introduced my two rescue girls, Posie and Sadie, to the incredible Mabel & Friends, and it’s been nothing short of amazing! While my partner and I have the luxury of working from home, we realized our girls were getting a bit bored and needed some furry companions of their own. So, we decided to give Mabel & Friends a try, and from the moment we walked in, we knew we had found something special. Meg was so knowledgeable and made us feel instantly at ease after a not-so-great experience at a previous daycare. She gave us a thorough tour, introduced us to all the friendly faces, and showed us the amazing facilities. The girls came back the next day for their trial, and today, they had their first half-day. We could watch them on the cameras, zooming around, snuggling, and just having the time of their lives. And the cherry on top? The adorable doggy report we get at the end of the day, showing just how much fun they had!
From the very first step into Mabel & Friends, we knew our girls were in the best hands. The ladies there are pure sunshine, radiating love and care for every dog they look after. Even after just three visits, Posie and Sadie are so excited when we pull up—they can’t wait to get inside! Leaving my dogs used to give me so much anxiety, but now, I’m confident that they’re being adored beyond measure. Thank you ladies!
My dog has the BEST time at Mabel&Friends 😁he always comes back home clean and as someone who finishes work at 5:30 it’s such a lifesaver that they’re open until 6:00pm! Absolutely loving how professional they are and seeing pictures of him throughout the day is so lovely!
Won’t be going anywhere else in the future! Would absolutely recommend
Gertie absolutely adores everyone at mable and friends. Having her first puppy groom with Jess very soon realised it was a lovely relaxing time. When we pull up she can’t wait to get in and chill with another groom. Highly recommend every aspect of the day care.
I would highly recommend Mabel and Friends. Although a little more expensive than other doggie day cares Mabel’s offers such a value add and not just chucking the dogs in a field and letting them get on with it. Our Talli has just spent another day with them and, despite it being quite muddy she has come home washed and smelling of roses! Even her raincoat was washed. A full report on her day follows every visit in terms of, Socialisation, Behaviour, Activities, Health Check, Food Monitoring and Water/Toilet Monitoring. We are super pleased we found this place for both ourselves and more importantly Talli, she just loves the place. Clearly a very caring and professional venture, but also with a lot of love for the dogs.
Everyone at Mabel and Friends are lovely and adore all our pampered pooches. From their personalised pegs to a daily school report, it is clear that the ‘aunties’ are engaged with our pets throughout their visit and have them and their personalities sussed.
Ralph is getting more and more confident with each visit and enjoying socialising with dogs of all sizes and temperaments 😊. The bonus of CCTV and Saturday playdates also helped with our decision to leave our furbaby at Mabel and Friends. Ralph gives it a 10/10! 👍🏼
We got to know about Mabel and Friends Day Retreat in the New year and Anette, Meg, Jess and all the girls are amazing to be honest. Very customer focused, kind, engaging and always prompt to help.
Cooper, our 9 month Cockapoo loves them and the Retreat. He has done Doggy Days with several other pups and dogs present there. Jess did his first grooming and he was really good and Jess was amazing too.
For us, we want Cooper to have his Dog moments too and Mabel and Friends Day retreat gives him that opportunity.
Thank you team
I use Mabel and friends drop off and pick up service along with the whole days daycare and it is truly an amazing service ! I’m away alot with work so to know my Bella is looked after while we are both at work and having someone we can trust coming in to pick her up and drop her off is a really big relief . We get pictures and videos and we love seeing her so happy there. Thank you to whole team who do an amazing job and genuinely do love what they do ❤️
I can’t recommend the friendly and professional team at Mabel and Friends highly enough. They take such great care of my dog Bonnie, tailoring her day to her likes, personality and behaviour. I have full confidence that she is in safe hands and will have a fun and stimulating time there. Their canine taxi and on-site grooming are also really convenient services. 5-star doggie daycare.
I cannot recommend Mabel and Friends highly enough! The staff are incredibly friendly and truly know their stuff when it comes to caring for dogs. Their expertise and genuine love for dogs puts my mind at ease every time I drop my dogs off. The facilities are absolutely gold standard, and it’s clear that the dogs adore their time there. The daily reports I receive are a fantastic touch, giving me wonderful updates on how my dogs have been, from playtime to rest. It’s such a reassurance to know my dogs are having the best time in safe and caring hands. If you’re looking for a top class doggy day care, this is the place to be!
This is a top notch facility, Stanley and Edgar love spending time there, they have made many new friends and socialising with other dogs for them is so important. The girls are great with them and the ‘school reports’ just amusing and informative!
Koda absolutely loves going to Mabel and Friends! He’s excited as I drop him off in the morning and it’s great getting to see updates on social media, as well as getting texts from Meg.
I love the pupdates you get at the end of a visit detailing what they’ve been up to.
Thank you to the team running Mabel and Friends for such a great service ♥️
Our dog had a wonderful trial session this morning and the updates pics/videos were very reassuring too! Definitely be booking again.

So so pleased with Dexter’s groom. Jess did such an amazing job and Dexter came away happy with a tail wagging! Already booked our next one! I even got a nice hot chocolate from the lovely staff while I was waiting because I was early.
We just wanted to say thank you so much for looking after Hetty. She looked as though she was having a great time yesterday, judging by the little video clips, and she was suitably exhausted when she got home, taking herself off to bed, and didn’t even manage to eat her kibble until 11.00pm last night!! She slept right through the night as well, we even managed to watch some television as she was too zonked to play. She is certainly very happy with you which really puts our minds at rest. She knows where she is coming and can’t wait to get in the door!
Thank you also to Jess for her lovely haircut, Hetty’s not Jess’! We are really pleased with it. That was the first time in 3 years that we had been asked if we would like her to have a teddy bear cut and we certainly did. Love the Halloween bandana too.
Many thanks again for all your caring, lots of love and licky woofs

Thank you so much Ivy and Pixie look amazing – the best groom yet!
Jess absolutely loves her friends and time at Mabel and friends, so much so that when we drive towards the building she knows and the excitement becomes too much.
I can’t thank the wonderful team enough for taking care of our precious pup like they do! They really are the best around. Jess adores you all and so do we!! Thank you 🙂
Thank you all very much for making our fur babies enjoy their new friends and I am sure the waggy bums said it all……They slept well last night and we look forward to seeing you all again soon.

I just wanted to say a big thank you for Kiki’s first day at day care yesterday! She looked like she was having an amazing time, (viewed via live CCTV) and I can genuinely see that all you lovely ladies are so caring and absolutely love dogs. You really looked after her like I would with lots of fusses and cuddles. A special thanks to Annette for picking her up and dropping her home – the van looks amazing! And thank you so much for the free blow dry, she feels so soft and cuddly, like a big teddy bear. She came home and went straight to bed, could barely keep her eyes open. We look forward to seeing you on Monday!
