Trish Feely
Hello
My name is Trish Feely. I’m very proud to be the Barking Mad representative for Ashford Kent and the surrounding villages, My area covers from the border of Maidstone, Tenterden, Lidd, Hythe, Folkstone, Wye, Lenham and the surrounding areas.
I’m originally from Ireland and I now live in Brabourne Lees with my partner and our fabulous, gorgeous Labrador Sam who came from Battersea rescue centre. I was first introduced to Barking Mad as a customer, I love the concept and high standard of care that Sam receives when we are away. Barking Mad provides great peace of mind and a stress free alternative to kennels. When I heard that the business was for sale I jumped at the chance. I have always been passionate about dogs!!
Prior to taking over the Barking Mad franchise I worked in the hospitality and catering industry. I have been lucky that I got the chance to travel to many countries around the world with work and was able to experience other nationalities and cultures. I have lived in Australia, France and now have settled here in the beautiful Kent countryside. Fortunately for me I now have a job I feel very passionate about
If you are interested in using our services or would like to know more about becoming a host family, I would love to hear from you. 01303 812902

Customer Comments
Just want to say thanks again to you, Pauline & Mike for looking after Ziggy on his first time away from home. It really meant a lot to us that he was so obviously in such good hands with Pauline & Mike. We also really appreciated the update texts through the day - it put both our minds at rest in what was already quite a stressful couple of days for us.
Marley came back from his host family happy and thats important . Thank you trish and your host family .
Trish was wonderful right from the start. They say a dog is the best judge of character, true, especially when they nearly smothered her with love without even knowing she was coming to our house! The regular, reassuring updates throughout the week-end and Scooby and Mia's relaxed demeanour when they came home, said everything! Thank you Trish and Maggie and Jock!
Thank you for sorting out Monty's weekend away at such short notice. We were very impressed how thorough the Barking Mad service is, and look forward to relaxed holiday planning from now on, knowing Monty will be having as much fun as us. Thanks Trish.
Thanks so much for making sure that Trusie had a great time while we were away. Also for keeping in touch with us while we were away as we were concerned in how she would be with people she did not know--dont know why we worried she loved every minute of her holiday!!!!
Muffin had a wonderful holiday via Trish, returning home well, happy and obviously content. Trish was a pleasure to deal with and kept us delightfully informed of Muffin's progress whilst we were away.
Thanks for everything Trish, we can go away on holiday and know Freddie is safe and happy as ever, which is brilliant.
Thank you Trish for all your reassurances, especially at such short notice! Eddie had a fantastic time with Claire.
Thank-you so, so much Trish! Paddy had such a lovely time with his host family! From the very first moment I met Trish, I knew she would make sure that Paddy was happy and well cared for. Our holiday was a last minute decision and would not have happened unless I was sure Paddy was O.K. This was the first time I have used Barking Mad, and it will certainly not be the last! Thanks again, Trish!
Dexter had a great time at New Romney and Trish was very helpful in getting Dexter down there despite the snow!
Sadie is always happy to see Trish and Ashley & her host family, she seems to have had so much fun on her holiday.
I had a good weekend knowing that Trish and the amazing host family took great care of my treasured hounds. I had 2 happy hounds on my arrival home. Will be using again. Thank You.
