Information Alan B. would like to know about your pet

If your dog needs any special treatment, please let me know before hand and we will see if we can accommodate them. If your dog cannot cope with 20min walks then we can look at other areas were we can stimulate them during their stay. Please note as part of our license agreement we will MUST see vaccination certificates for DHP and Leptospirosis before we can confirm bookings.

A typical day

Each dog will have 2 x20 minutes (minimum) walk each day and will have lots of cuddles from my two children. We have multiple options for walks close by.

Alan B.'s Neighborhood

Friendly family care

Pet care experience

We’ve been welcoming and boarding dogs into our home for over three years, and grew up with dogs throughout my childhood and teenage years. We’ve also cared for friends’ dogs while they’ve been away, so are experienced with different breeds and personalities. Although we currently have other small pets, we don’t have a dog of our own, which means your pup gets our full attention. We're fully licensed for dog boarding with Wokingham Borough Council (Sarah Brown, Licence #HB086).

This was Bobbys second time with Alan and family, he was well looked after. I had updates and photos of a happy and content looking Bobby throughout his stay. We recommend Alan and will definitely return in the future. Thank you so much for looking after our crazy ball! ❤️

Alan and family were fantastic in looking after our dog Bear for two nights. They gave us updates so we felt reassured he was in good hands :)

Alan was very professional since our first interaction. I've received pictures everyday during Sofia's stay. She seemed to have enjoyed herself with Alan's family!

Koda was well looked after and happy with Alan and family. It was a very reassuring professional service and meant that we could enjoy our time away without worrying about Koda. The updates that Alan sent us daily were lovely. We will definitely be happy leaving Koda with Alan and family again if we are going somewhere that doesn’t allow dogs.
