Dog Boarding in Arun

“Ruby had a lovely time as the photos and frequent updates showed me! But the best was as we arrived and she spotted her new best friend, the families loving younger lady (you’ll know who I mean!! And she is a wonderful young lady!) Ruby ran towards her tail wagging and barking! I knew that this next visit would be as wonderful as Ruby’s last! And it didn’t fail me! Plenty of reassuring messages and photos! (I’m a bit of a doggie Mum!!) Collecting Ruby was exciting but reassuring as she is going back fairly soon! And the young lady was counting the days! I couldn’t be happier than let my doggie babe go to Katherine and family, I know my doggie is needy but that is understood and had a wonderful time. She slept soundly on my shoulder all the way home, contented and happy. Relaxed not anxious as we have had on one occasion with another “sitter”. Thank you, you are truly a great family… xx”

“We had our first visit with Elizabeth this past weekend. Elizabeth was very accommodating with our last minute scheduling needs. She was friendly and welcoming. I felt 100% comfortable leaving our dog with her. She kept us updated throughout our journey, and we came back to a very happy dog. I highly recommend Liz and will be using her services again!”

“Scott had Jasper overnight for the first time. He sent me updates and pictures to reassure me that Jasper was happy and settled. Im going on holiday fairly soon and Scott will have Jasper again with me knowing he will be happy and well cared for. Thank you Scott.”

“I was extremely happy with the love and care, Jess received from Zena. She made sure Jess had lots of play and a good walk every day. She treated Jess as her own and Jess quickly attached to her. Jess also loved having a big brother doggo to play zoomies and beatdowns. Zena listened to all my instructions and followed through with all Jess' usual routines. She kindly sent me photos and messages about how Jess was doing every day. I could see she was very happy and it helped me to be able to completely relax whilst we were away. We will definitely be booking with Zena again in the future 😍”

About: Im about to start a course in Animal Care but have been looking after Friends Dogs for a while now either at my own house or at their homes and I love it so I thought I’d offer my services to others. I am Flexible, so please ask me, I’ll always do my best to accommodate what is needed and make it work so your pet gets the best care. If I am looking after your pet it will be spoiled and well cared for, I have 2 Daughters 13 and 20 who will happily play, chill and come out for Walks as well, our home will be your pets home for the time he or she is with us or if I’m at your home I will be the guest in your pets eyes, therefore I will be respectful.

“Liz and Peter took such good care of our boy, and sent us daily pictures of all the fun he was having! They gave us such peace of mind knowing he was so well looked after! 💖 So grateful to them for the love and care they gave him whilst we were away!”

“Tina obviously loves dogs and our dog was very happy and relaxed to stay with her. Tina uses a very large field which is completely safe for dogs to run freely with water play etc. I would highly recommend her to lovingly care for your dog.”

About: Belly rubs on demand I have had dogs since my children were little. I am now retired so home everyday to give lots of care to your best friend. I now have all the time in the world, as I have left the 9-5 and at home with my 2 cavapoos. We have lots of love to go around. Wonderful fields just outside our front door and just a short drive to the beach. I have a large secure garden and 2 cavapoos to entertain your pooch. We love dogs and would love to meet your little one to come and share days and nights with us.

“Heather was very kind, considerate and caring when looking after Zola. I wouldn't hesitantly to book again when looking for a someone to have him!”

About: I have a 2 year old Labrador called Buddy who is a lot of fun. He is a very playful boy and from a young age has grown up with a variety of dogs - both old and young! He happily accepts the message from those dogs not wanting to meet the same energy as him. He enjoys a good long snooze in the afternoon after a long walk. I currently work from home most weeks so happily try to meet your requirements. Happy to have day sitting or overnight if dog is crated :) I have fenced secure garden, suitable for dogs to play/exercise in. Weather permitting we make use of the fields/forests surrounding us which are also secure. Or if you’re happy I walk in Slindon Woods.

“So grateful to Megan for looking after our boy so well, taking on his medication with no trouble at all, and sending very reassuring updates and pictures - he looked very happy! She was very understanding and tolerant even when he raided her bin and kitchen counter... 😳”

“Jenny is lovely. My pup loved her from the start and played with her entire family. I had updates which made me feel very comfortable and assured that he was doing ok. I can tell that he enjoyed every bit of it. Easygoing, communicative, qualified and made my pet comfortable overnight. Beachwalks, fenced back garden, easy to find and my doggo rerurned in a happy mood? She's a treat!”

About: I’ve had dogs in my life for over 50 years, and caring for them has always been second nature to me. I have experience with all ages and stages — from energetic puppies who need patience, structure, and training, to senior dogs who deserve a gentler pace, comfort, and lots of reassurance. Boarding starts at £46 per night for one dog. Rover may show higher estimates depending on number of dogs, holidays, or extended care I’m very fit and active and genuinely love long walks, so your dog will get plenty of fresh air, exercise, and attention (always tailored to their age and needs). Just as importantly, I love quiet companionship too — dogs are happiest when they feel relaxed and secure, and I’m very attuned to reading their signals. I prioritize safety, trust, and comfort at all times. Pets are closely supervised in a clean, calm, pet-friendly environment. I follow all care instructions carefully and provide regular updates and photos so owners feel at ease. My goal is to make every pet feel secure, happy, and well cared for.

“Huge thankyou to Joanna for looking after our dog Monty whilst we were away for two weeks this month. It was clear from our pre stay visit the calming and nurturing environment which Joanna offers. Throughout Monty’s stay, we received regular updates by text and WhatsApp photos. We feel that Monty thoroughly enjoyed his home from home with Joanna and her lovely dog Minnie. Thankyou Joanna for all your help and flexibility when our flights home were delayed by 9.5 hours. We would without question recommend Joanna to care for friends pets.”
