Happy Paws -Elkesley, Retford. Licensed Boarding

Pet care experience

I am Licensed with Bassetlaw District Council to carry out Home Dog Boarding with a 5* Rating. This is a LEGAL REQUIREMENT BY LAW and may effect your insurance cover with Rover if your chosen dog boarder does not have a Licence of which, should be on display for you to view at all times. I have had dogs/cats for over 40 years never been without one. I always have 2 dogs at anyone time as they are good company for each other. I couldn't ever see my life without animals they give me such love and happiness. I am used to looking after a neighbours dog or a friends, can't help myself & it doesn't matter what age, size or sex they are just love them all. We live in a large bungalow surrounded by an acre of garden where the dogs can run around and play also, within the grounds there's a very large sun house ideal for them to chill out in if they wish in addition to their daily woodland walks of which are on our door step. Our garden is 100% secure all the way round plus a 7ft high locked gate at the entrance, so no chance of escaping. Your dog/s will have the run of the house same as my own dogs, snuggling up on the settee for a fuss and love or maybe a little nap. Every dog will receive loads of attention, love and cuddles, we try our best to give the dogs a holiday too and also chance if they want to make new doggy friends but if they don't want to mix we can easily keep them separate . I have recently taken a First Aid Course for Dogs and have Ofqual Level 3 Professional Daycare & Boarding Qualification. I only take one families dog/dogs (max, 2) at a time, I am not a believer in having loads of dogs from different households together at any one time, I do this job for my love of animals not just for financial gain. All animals are to be fully vaccinated. Please check my dog preferences and pick up and drop off times before making a booking enquiry, also take a look at my own dogs. Thank you.

Maggie felt right at home and I just knew she would be loved like their own here. Maggie loved playtime in the garden and snuggles. Can't thank you enough x

Absolutely fantastic service! Liz made my two dogs feel very welcome whilst we went abroad for a week and sent us photos and videos to keep us updated through their stay. I couldn't recommend Liz and her husband enough for pet boarding and care. Luke

What an amazing holiday for our dog Ripley. Being a rescue dog kennels are completely off the table for us and we are always concerned with leaving her due to her past. However, from the initial meet and greet with Elizabeth, Steve and their 3 gorgeous dogs I knew how happy Ripley would be staying with them. She had an amazing time. I revieved so many photos and videos from Elizabeth throughout the stay of Ripley smiling and getting lots of cuddles. I really feel like she was treated like a member of the family. When I collected her she was so content and happy, it was lovely to see. I certainly would not hesitate to book Elizabeth again. She is an amazing dog sitter and Ripley was able to settle so quickly.

Let us know if your dog has any special needs or behaviours that i can account for. My preference is for medium to large dogs but we have had quite a few little terriers and are amongst our repeat borders.

A typical day

We fill their days with plenty of activities such as fetch ball or game of tug. We also like to do a bit of basic training if they want to.
