I go for a walk every morning, every lunch time and every evening already so I plan that I will just take your pets along with me. Ordinarily, in the morning and lunch time I will visit the parks local to me and then in the evening I will venture further afield, often going to Darley park, Markeaton park, Calke Abbey and Kedleston hall as I am a national trust member. I am used to caring for animals with regards to feeding routines and am usually up around 5:30am until 10pm so can cater to any specific schedules.

5⭐ Home Boarding & Daily Updates

Pet care experience

Hi, I’m Tom. I offer home-from-home dog boarding in Derby, providing a safe, comfortable environment where dogs receive plenty of exercise, attention and companionship throughout their stay. Having grown up with dogs, cats, rabbits and gerbils, caring for animals has always been a part of my life. Since moving to Derby for work, I’ve missed having dogs around and now enjoy welcoming them into my home and treating them as part of the family while their owners are away. I lead an active lifestyle and enjoy running, hiking and exploring Derbyshire and local National Trust sites. Whether your dog loves long countryside walks or prefers a more relaxed routine, I’ll tailor their care to suit their individual needs. I also provide daily photo updates, and for active dogs I’m happy to share GPS-tracked walks so you can see exactly where we’ve been and how much exercise they’ve enjoyed. I work full-time in a flexible role, with a mixture of office and home working. When I have boarding dogs staying, I am usually able to work from home, allowing me to provide plenty of company, supervision and attention throughout the day. My partner, Eloise, also loves animals and helps provide additional care and companionship. I understand that leaving your dog with someone new can be daunting, so I focus on providing regular updates, clear communication and a genuine home-from-home experience. My aim is for both you and your dog to feel completely comfortable and confident while you’re apart. I look forward to meeting you and your four-legged family member.

Could not recommend more! We were getting married near where Tom lives and he looked after Oscar for the weekend. He was also kind enough to bring Oscar to our wedding venue on the day for some pictures. He was so amazing with Oscar, took him on plenty of walks and also tracked all the walks so we could see :) Would recommend to anyone! Thanks Tom :)

It's clear to see Thomas really cares about animals. He did a fantastic job looking after Raffy & Bailey for 3 days while we were away. He was a pleasure from the meet & greet up until I collected our boys after their stay. We had lots of updates on what they got up to each day, with walks recorded and shared via Strava. I'll 100% be using Thomas again next time were away and can't take Raffy & Bailey with us.

Tom was brilliant. He sends regular updates and records all the dog walks on Strava and sends you a link so you can see where they’ve been. Snoop was happy and I would 100% recommend his service.
