I’m fortunate enough to work from home, part time. We spend a lot of time at home, so your pup will not be left alone regular or long periods. We have 2 children, age 5 and 8 who have experienced with dogs, but it’s very important the dogs we home are small/medium size and have a calm nature. For 8 years we have looked after family and friends dogs whilst they are away, we have lots of experience and decided to help more people. We no longer have a pet at home, but when we did we found it extremely difficult to find a boarding home due to our specific needs example raw feeding, and realised there was alot of other people in the same situation.

A Cozy Second Home For Your Pup

Pet care experience

Dedicated and experienced dog lovers based in Walsall. We have cared for dogs for several years and have experience with a variety of breeds. 🐶🐾 Whether you need a safe place for your dog to stay overnight or while you're away, I offer a loving home environment where your pet will feel relaxed and cared for. Your pet will get my full attention — lots of playtime, companionship, and long walks. I have a secure, dog-friendly garden, perfect for outdoor fun and safe exploring. We are able to safely accommodate 1 dog at a time (unless there from the same home) Small to Medium dogs only. What I Offer * 🐶 Overnight Stays in a quiet, pet-friendly home * 🏡 Home Boarding with a secure fenced yard * 🦴 Regular walks, feeding, and plenty of cuddles * 📸 Photo updates and check-ins for your peace of mind Your dog’s routine and comfort come first. I’m patient, calm, and happy to accommodate individual needs — whether it's sticking to a feeding schedule or giving extra care to nervous pups. Why Book With Me? * ✅ Reliable and experienced with various breeds * 🏡 Fully secured garden for safe outdoor time * 🐾 One-on-one care in a quiet home (no other pets) * 🚶‍♂️ Long, stimulating walks in nearby parks and green spaces * 📍 Based in Walsall – flexible pickup/drop-off options When we were looking for safe boarding for our own dog, we realised how difficult it was. We were often turned away because of our personal choices for our pet’s care. That’s when we decided to create Happy Paws — a place that feels like home, where your dog’s needs and routines come first. 💚 Here’s what makes us different: ✔️ Raw feeding welcome – we even have a separate freezer available. ✔️ No proof of injections required – we trust you to know what’s best for your pet. ✔️ No neutering necessary – because we only care for one dog at a time (or more if from the same household). ✔️ Tailored care – we’ll ask about your dog’s usual routine: 🛏️ Where they sleep 🍖 When they eat 🐕 How many walks they enjoy (and how long for) Let’s Meet! I’d love to meet you and your pup! Reach out to arrange a free meet & greet — I’m happy to answer any questions and help you feel confident your dog will be in good hands.

Alex and Christie were an absolute delight and breath of fresh air and we are so pleased to have found them. They made the experience seamless and we had zero worries whilst our fur baby was in their care. We did a meet and greet initially and then our dog stayed for the weekend just gone and had the best time, we didnt think he wanted to come home! He has taken a big liking to Christie, Alex and their children and could tell from his body language and mood when we picked him up how comfortable and happy he seemed. We have a 2 year old cockapoo with separation anxiety so its very difficult for him to stay away from home or us (his owners) so it was really important for us to find someone we can trust. Christie sends regular updates, photos, videos, asks questions regarding your dog to ensure she is supplying the correct care based on your dog, she provides a lot of reassurance and is always prompt in her responses. They are the most loveable family and I think our bubba has found a new home from home - so we are happy owners and cant wait for rory to stay with you again. Im sure he misses you already! 😊

Alex & Christie were amazing. My dog was very anxious staying with them and they arranged to look after him at my house while I was away. This was very last minute but they put my dogs anxiety first. Alex came to visit my dog regularly and put Dave(my dog) at ease. Highly recommended. Would give 6 stars if possible!

Christie and Alex have minded my dogs Chester and Rory many times. They create a loving environment for the dogs and I trust them 100% to ensure they are looked after and well loved when they have them. Thoroughly recommend
