Dog Boarding Abbotswood

“Our dog (Cookie) really enjoyed herself staying with Murali and his family. Cookie is a very lively but very friendly GSD and settled with their own dog and another, especially playing chase around their large garden. We would have no hesitation in recommending this boarder to anyone.”

“Sophie was able to help out last minute after being let down. From start to finish the whole experience was great. Replies were prompt, with fair prices and I was very happy with the way Odin settled in straight away. I was kept up to date with check ins over the booking period and would friendly has again when needed.”

“Andy's awesome at what he does. I left Dukey with him for a week and then again for a night, lots of cuddles and updates throughout the day. He also makes sure to provide reassurance where needed instead of making it a panic situation overall if your pet feels a bit off, will definitely book again for Dukey!!”

“This is the first time that I have required a dog sitter for my Cocker Spaniel -Freya . I was drawn to Eleanor’s advertisement because she loves dogs but does not at present have a dog and does not intend to have more than one dog in a sitting. I immediately knew that Freya would get a lot of love and attention. After our first pre- sit dog walk I knew I had struck gold. Eleanor not only understands dogs but dog owners too. By the time I went on holiday I was totally confident and at ease with the booking. Now that I have picked Freya up I am delighted to see the relationship they have and I can see that Freya has been happy and well cared for. To other dog owners I can’t recommend Eleanor highly enough.”

“Lynn and her partner were absolutely fantastic with Mia and made me feel completely at ease. Their home is lovely, with a great-sized garden and really nice walks nearby. They also have the most adorable dog. Mia was made to feel right at home she didn’t want to leave! I would highly recommend them and will definitely be using them again.”

“Fiona has been amazing!! Barney was looked after in the most fantastic family home…I’m not sure Barney actually wanted to come home!! I thoroughly recommend Fiona and her lovely family who put me at ease with leaving an older dog while we went away. Absolutely fabulous x”

“Jade looked after our dog, Winnie, for eight nights, and we couldn't have been happier with the care she received. From the very first communication, Jade was warm, friendly, and reassuring. Winnie had a trial day before her stay, and on both occasions she ran straight in as soon as the front door opened, which told us everything we needed to know! Jade kept us updated throughout Winnie's stay with regular photos, which was greatly appreciated. At no point did I worry about Winnie's welfare, and considering the UK was in the middle of a heatwave, that was especially reassuring. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Jade to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy dog boarder. Winnie was clearly happy and well looked after, and we'll definitely be booking with Jade again”

“Bailey had his first over overnight stay and Sandra was absolutely brilliant with him. Their house and location is beautiful, offering huge space inside and out so great for an energetic 2 year old Cockapoo! Will definitely rebook when needed.”

“Helen was absolutely brilliant with Woody while we were away for a week. She was friendly, reliable and clearly has fantastic experience with dogs. Woody got on really well with Helen and her dog Bertie and seemed to have a great time. It was obvious he was happy, settled and very well cared for, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. We wouldn’t hesitate to have Helen look after Woody again and would highly recommend her.”

About: I have been around dogs ever since I was a baby. My nan cared for retired guide dogs for around 20 years, so I developed a strong love and adoration for dogs. My family has owned 2 dogs since I was a child, sadly our last dog passed away 2 years ago and my family and I have felt like a part of us has been missing ever since. No dog could replace our sweet Lionel, he was the most special dog ever, but I decided to start up a dog boarding business as a way to still surround us with dogs. I have looked after friends and family’s dogs many times as favours before I started my business and that’s what really pushed me to have the confidence to do this as a job. If you choose to have me as your dog boarder, you can be assured that your dog will be treated like family and will be given so much love and care. I am available everyday of the week as this is my sole job. I do volunteer most mornings of the week, however I live in a house of 6 people so it is very rare that no one is home. I am fully licensed by Southampton City Council, so my house and garden have been completely approved and catered to suit dog boarding. I also have a Canine First Aid certification, full insurance and DBS checked.
