We have just moved into the area and needed homecare care for our cats for 3 weeks. We found Stuart from the net and his sitting service is absolutely excellent in every respect. You get photographs and feedback every day which is very reassuring and we think very highly of his services. 100% satisfied.

I have used Stuart to walk my lovely Lola for a few years now. I highly recommend Acklam Pet Care, Lola enjoys her walks with her doggy friends and I look forward to seeing the photos of her antics Stuart posts on here. You can tell he loves dogs, he is reliable and flexible if I need to cancel a walk. Keep up the good work Stuart.

Would be lost without Stuart
We've used Stuart to walk our cocker spaniel Ollie since he was a pup. Three years later he has never let us down, not even one day! He is incredibly trustworthy and brilliant with the dogs. Ollie is always so excited to see him :)

My little Lola has been with Stuart for a few years now and I couldn't ask for a better service she enjoys her walks with him and her doggy friends and I love seeing the photos Stuart puts on Facebook. I know Lola is in good hands while I am at work and she is getting the exercise and fun she needs. I can highly recommend Acklam Pet Care.

Recently moved to Middlesbrough and started full time job so needed my 12 year old dog walking. Felt immediately confident that Stuart would look after her and she was in good hands. She took a little while to settle into our new home but Phoebe immediately took to Stuart and this truly gave me peace of mind. Stuart is trustworthy, extremely comfortable with Phoebe, easy to talk to, it's lovely to see Phoebe play with her friends that day and see what she's been up to. The business is run very professionally. Thank you.

From Stuart, Acklam Pet Care. Thank you Vivien for your kind review, it is always pleasing to have feedback. Phoebe may be 12 years old but she loves her walks. She mixes well with the other dogs and loves her dips in the ponds and becks on our walks, a real water babe. A pleasure to have her on our walks.

I can honestly say that Stuart is in the right job. He adores the dogs that he walks and I know that they adore him too. My little westie Alfie has been with Stuart for over a year now and he knows when it's time to go out.
Stuart is so professional and has never let me down once. He is out in all weathers and give you a day by day account on what your dog has been up too.
Would recommend to anyone. Thanks for all you do for Alfie. He loves his time with you.

We contacted Acklam Pet Care 4 years ago before we decided to get a dog. We wanted to be assured that when we were at work during the day the dog would be taken care of. We were visited by Stuart French and rather than us vetting him, he vetted us. This immidiately let us know of his care and understanding for dogs. Our little dog BRiDiE a border Terrier loves her walks with Stuart and all her doggie friends. She is bolt upright at the mere mention of Stuarts name. Stuart has been looking after BRiDiE for 4 years now. I am away a lot and Stuart posts pic's of all BRiDiE's walks so i see her while i'm away. BRiDiE is such a pleasant happy little dog and we thank Acklam Pet Care for this. When we are on holiday Stuart collects BRiDiE from a different address, nothing has ever been a bother. BRiDiE is like our little baby and we trust her care to Stuart and he has never let us down.

We used Acklam Pet Care for the first time this year. We were concerned about leaving our cat for a week, but thought she might be happier at home than in a cattery. After talking to, and then meeting, Stuart, we were no longer worried. He obviously care deeply about animals. It was great to receive texts and photos of Amber and on our return he had left details of how much she had eaten, how keen she was to play etc. We will definitely use them again when we next go away.

Quality Excellent
We asked Stuart and the folks at Acklam Pet care to feed our cat while we were out of town, and he did a wonderful job. He was conscientious, organized, and friendly. He accommodated us during our hectic travel preparations, and when we returned he showed up quickly to return our keys and give us a full rundown on how everything went. I couldn't be happier with how it went, and I would definitely recommend acklam pet care to anyone who is heading out of town and needs someone to take care of their pets!
Thank You Stuart! - Gill285 (11/07/2012
I can highly recommend Acklam Pet Care, Stuart came to help out with my cat who has a broken paw, he has to stay in a cage to limit his movement. While I was on holiday, Stuart came to help out cleaning his cage etc. Stuart is friendly, helpful and the cat trusted him!
Quality 3 / 3
Stuart kindly looked after my aged cat while I was on holiday for a week as she is too old to go into a cattery. He agreed to take care of her at short notice and the standard of care was better than any company I have used in the past. Meggy is a very fussy eater and normally loses a lot of weight when I go away - this time she had put weight on and looked excellent. I would definitely recommend Stuart even for the most tempremental of animals!

I would highly recommend Acklam Pet Care centre. I used the service to look after my cat whilst away. This was great as my cat is a house pet who likes his own environment. The added pictures emailed to me whilst away gave me peace of mind. Arrangements were easily made and Stuart was most helpful. I will definitely be using this service again.

Stuart walked my German shepherd, Gracie, every day for a period of 2 months when I had to leave her through the day. He did a fabulous job and formed a great relationship with her. Stuart is extremely reliable and careful so I felt very confident that Grace was safe and having a good time. I would definitely go back to Acklam Pet Care if I needed a dog walker again and highly recommend him.

to keep it short and simple - brilliant - felt 100% better than leaving the little ones in a cattery... excellent service -
Excellent service - Nellie is an old cat- hates travel, hates catteries, so this was ideal for her. In her own home, fed regular, absolutely content, no hassle from Queen Bee Nellie when we returned. Have already made enquiries to book next year- Brilliant.
Just wanted to say a quick thank-you to Stuart for looking after our two house bunnies while we were on holiday. I am nervous of leaving my rabbits, but upon meeting Stuart felt at ease with his friendly but professional manner. I felt confident with giving him access to our home, and he was very thorough in his procedures. Upon our return, my rabbits were clean, healthy and happy. 5* service, and I would not hesitate in using Acklam Pet Care again.
I used Acklam Pet Care for the first time last weekend and was extremely happy with their service. They put my mind at rest immediately about leaving my two adored kittens with a stranger. I was so happy I could leave my kittens at home in familiar surroundings knowing they were being looked after by a professional, instead of cooped up in a small pen at some strange cattery. I also found them to be very reasonable and would have expected such a good service to cost a great deal more. They have surpassed my expectations and I would absolutely recommend them to others. I will not hesitate to use them again in the future.
Fantastic service, honest, caring, and exactly what I was looking for. I would thoroughly recommend Acklam Pet Care to anyone.
Professional service, very reasonable. Was very happy to be able to keep my adored cats in familiar surroundings whilst I was away knowing they are being well looked after instead of being cooped up in a small cattery pen. Will definately use again and would recommend to anyone.
Alfie was very happy with the service, the cat was fed regularly, played with and was allowed to stay in his home where he rules the roost. The service was very cost effective and easy to use. Will be definitely using the service again for our next small holiday. Would recommend to all.
Many thanks to those who have taken the time to write such lovely testimonials for us.
