Dog Hotel by the Sea
Pet care experience
Hi, I’m Stephanie. I live in Whitburn, in-between South Shields and Sunderland. I work from home, so am available to keep your pet company all day, every day! I can see the Sea from my home, so walks on the beach are an essential whilst staying with us. Cleadon Hills are also a stones throw away, so your dog will be spoilt for choice when it comes to walkies! I have an enclosed garden and the doors can be left open (weather permitting), so your dog can venture in and out as they please. I have two sons aged 14 and 12 who love animals just as much as I do and love to get involved, dishing out hugs and cuddles and playing ball is a favourite. We added a puppy to our family in February 2021. She is wary of bigger dogs at present, so we are only accepting smaller/medium sized dogs at the moment - we are hoping that as her confidence grows, we can look to take all dogs in all shapes and sizes again. I like the dogs to be part of the family whilst they stay with us, so you’ll often find me with a dog on a Saturday morning watching my boys play football or all of us including the dog cuddled up on the sofa watching a film. So whether it’s doggy day car or an overnight stay, we aim to provide a home from home with lots of love, cuddles and attention. Please don’t hesitate to get in touch if you have any questions. Please note that I do not take dogs that aren’t neutered. All dogs must be fully toilet trained.
Reviews
We left our three yorkshire terriers for a week with Stephanie. We felt so anxious about leaving them while abroad as they are our babies and wanted them looked after as we would at home, and from first meeting Stephanie and the lovely Dolly we felt very at ease. Stephanie gave us video and photo updates every day with how the dogs were doing. They always seemed comfortable, happy and playful. They were well cared for and it was definitely a home from home. Couldn't recommend enough and wouldn't use anyone else in future.
Highly recommend Stephanie. Our dog loved spending time with Stephanie and her dog. Stephanie sent us lots of updates and photos of our dog during her stay.
First of all I would like to Thank Stephanie for taking such good care of our little dog Pluto. Pluto was with her for the entire month and thanks to that we could have a peaceful vacation. She shared pictures and videos of him on regular basis which made us feel happy as Pluto seemed to be all comfortable and happy with her and her family which consists of a very adorable lil dog along with 2 kids. Stephanie kept Pluto is excellent groomed state, she bathed him and he looked lovely when we met him yesterday! If only Pluto could talk, I am sure he would have many happy stories to share for his one month stay with Stephanie and her family! I would recommend her to all my friends. Thank you Stephanie. I hope we see you again, and would come back to you whenever need be!
In the beginning, we met Stephanie and she asked us loads of questions to learn about our cockapoo, Odie and we tried him on a half-day trial to see how it went. That was over a year ago and Odie is a regular at Stephanie's for both doggy daycare and boarding and we are sure that he feels it is now his second home! You can immediately feel that Stephanie and her boys love dogs and they welcome them into their home. Odie always has a playmate when he's there, and there is always plenty of attention, cuddles and lovely walks from the house. We have absolutely no hesitation in leaving Odie with Stephanie and we can recommend her 100%.

I have a fenced back yard where the french doors can be kept open in good weather, so your dog can venture in and out as they please. My front garden is grass. I care for your dog under your specific instructions that we would go through prior to your dogs stay.

Information Stephanie B. would like to know about your pet
My preference is to meet both you and your dog before their stay. This is where I can take all the information I will need about your dogs routine, likes and dislikes.
A typical day
I can see the sea from my home! so if your dog likes walks on the beach, then this is the ideal location. We like to get out and about on a weekend and are members of the National Trust. If your dogs can travel in the car, they are more than welcome to come along too. My sons are both football crazy, so it’s likely there will be a visit to a football pitch during their stay.

Availability
I permanently work from home, so I am around to keep your dog company throughout the day, as well as having my own dog as a playmate. There will be some occasions when I need to go out but this will be for a limited time only.
