Pet Boarding Barnard Castle

“Delphi had a brilliant stay and didn’t want to leave! The photo and video updates were much appreciated- you could tell how happy she was. Communication from the first enquiry was excellent. I highly recommend William for dog boarding and Delphi’s next stay is already booked.”

“Marley has stayed with Carolyn for a second time. He was well looked after. I wasn't worried at all. I was updated throughout. Marley seemed to have had a good time. He's returned his usual self. Carolyn is very reliable and a very nice person. I highly recommend Carolyn if you are looking for a dog sitter.”

“Oak and Dakota had a lovely stay with Michael. He stuck to their routine, gave them plenty of walks and affection during the day and while they seemed happy to see us they both wanted to stay as well. Would happily book again next time we need a sitter for them both. Thanks again”

About: I’ve lived with and cared for dogs all my life, ranging from big Labradors to tiny Frenchies, and even unruly Rhodesian Ridgebacks. My friends call me the dog whisperer because I gel so naturally with new dogs. I’m an actor so I’m available most times and really easy going and friendly. I’m known to be very reliable, and am looking to work with people in the long term so I could get to know them and their dogs better. I’m passionate about walking and spent most of my childhood on walking holidays with my dogs and family in the Lake District. As a nature loving person, I know the best dog spots and walks in London. I’m based in Central London, so can easily get to most areas of London.

“This was our dog's first sleepover , so obviously we didn't know how she was going to react! We needed not to worry , our pooch started to play with Emma's other lodgers straight away and didn't even look back at us. We were more concerned than she was! Emma sent us several photos to reassure us that all was well and that our dog had the time of her life. We will be using Emma again and she has officially been nominated our dog's nanny!”

“This was our first time using a dog sitter, and I was a little nervous, but Brianna was fantastic. She took great care of our dog Betsy, kept me updated with messages and photos, and made the whole experience stress-free. My dog was happy and well looked after. I would definitely recommend her and would happily book with her again. Thank you!”

About: I've always loved dogs and rescued my own dog in Spain over 2 years ago. I have first-hand experience of building trust, patience and creating a safe, loving environment. As a primary school teacher, a nurturing approach to little personalities comes naturally to me. 🐾 Your dog's safety and wellbeing will always be my priority. I'll care for your dog as if they were my own and keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages, so you can relax knowing they're in safe and loving hands. 🫶🏽🐾 📅I have availability for dog walking in the evenings and at weekends. I will always do my best to align my availability to your schedule.🐾 🏡 I can offer drop-ins tailored to you to check in on your fur baby while you are away, making sure they are safe and happy. 🕐30 minute walks can be on 1:1 basis, or if you prefer your dog to have some socialisation and play time, my own friendly dog can join us. 🐕‍🦺 These walks can take place in your local area, nearby woodlands or nearby parks. 🕐For 60-minute walks, and with your permission, your dog will join me on suitable fun-filled adventures further afield🚗. Please note that my own friendly, well-socialised dog will always accompany 60 minute walks, so this option is best suited to dogs who enjoy the company of other dogs. 🐕‍🦺🦮 🏡Your dog can board in my home at weekends. They will be treated as part of the family. My own dog is friendly and very energetic/playful. He is willing to share his home with other loving dogs. When dogs stay with me, you can count on an adventure - hiking, forest walks, trips to the beach etc.🌳🌊 I also have a fenced, medium-sized garden, so the dogs will get plenty of opportunities for toilet breaks and outdoor play throughout the day. Your dog's safety and wellbeing will always come first. I have an enhanced DBS check through my role in education, so you can feel confident welcoming me into your home. I'll follow your instructions carefully, respect your home, and stick to your dog's usual routine.

About: I have owned small dogs for many years and already care for friends medium sized dogs, (Fox and Bedlington terriers) in my home, boarding, short and long stay. Dogs will be walked on a lead twice per day for at least 30 mins per walk. I work from home weekdays with frequent breaks so your dog will be right next to my desk when not exploring around the house. Out for walkies on breaks and in the evening as well as playing in the garden when they want to. I have a fenced garden and they will have the run of the garden and downstairs during the day (weather permitting the patio doors will be open). Kitchen and utility room at night. The house is cool in summer and cosy in winter.

About: I’ve been around animals since I was 8, growing up with a Jack Russell cross and a Staffy, and I’ve always loved caring for animals. I often look after my friends golden retrievers so also used to being around larger dogs. I now have my own 2-year-old British Shorthair, Mimi, who is neutered and very much part of the family. My partner has also grown up around a variety of animals, so we both have plenty of experience and genuinely enjoy being around pets. I’m comfortable caring for senior dogs who may need a little extra attention and understand that every dog has different needs and routines. I enjoy walking and spending time outdoors, so having a friendly dog along for the walk is a bonus! We’re looking forward to helping other pet owners out and giving their pets plenty of care, attention and cuddles while they’re away. I currently work full-time in marketing, which gives me plenty of flexibility throughout the week. My partner also works from home four days a week, so between us, we can easily fit pet care around our working day, whether that’s walks, feeding, playtime or simply giving your pet some company and attention. We’re also free on weekends, giving us plenty of time to give your pet some extra love and attention, with the added bonus of being able to take them on some lovely walks around the Yorkshire Dales 🐾 We want your pet to feel happy, comfortable and cared for while you’re away, and we’ll treat them as one of our own! ❤️ We have an enclosed garden with plenty of grass, sun and shade for your pet to relax in and go to the toilet! I can accommodate a crate trained dog (we can even supply the crate) or one that likes company to sleep next to 🫶🏼

“Thank you for taking great care of Kobe! Great communication throughout with quick replies, we had a ‘meet and greet’ beforehand and I received lots of pics and updates of Kobe having a fun time when he stayed over for the night. I would definitely recommend Rebecca and will be asking again if will dog sit Kobe when needed in the future! Thanks so much :)”

“When you leave your dog with someone it is always a worry, however Peter was great and looked after our little girl so well. He gave us updates and photos during her stay too. Would not hesitate to leave Tina with him again.”

About: We've each had our own dogs separately for most of our lives. We've grown up looking after friends or neighbours dogs frequently, we now have our own spaniel together and he loves a play date. I work full time from home as a software developer so I have plenty time and opportunity to play with dogs and let them outside. We have a fenced back garden and a spaniel of our own for your pet to play with, we have plenty room in the office and living rooms for them to relax and play.

“Katie and the whole family were brilliant for Ralph. He was very well taken care of and I felt very comfortable leaving him from the moment I dropped him off. He got on really well with Russell and the children were amazing with him. He got lots of attention, walks and seemed right at home when I picked him up. I would absolutely ask Katie to watch Ralph again in the future”

“Lovely and helpful, took Travis on at short notice. He’s been returned absolutely shattered and plenty of updates during the weekend. Would definitely use again, thank you.”

“Blu has had the most amazing long weekend with Georgia and her family! He was treat as one of her own pets and given so much love throughout his stay! I was kept updated all weekend with photos and videos and it was clear to see how much Blu was well cared for. I would recommend Georgia 10/10, it felt like he went from home to home and Blu cannot wait for his next stay :) thank you so so much! Xxx”

About: I’ve always had dogs when growing up, 4 and 5 at a time, working and none working dogs which I loved to walk and train. I enjoy the outdoors and spend most of my free time walking and enjoying nature. My availability will mostly be weekends and school holidays as I work term time. However, I live a few minutes away from my place of work, and provided pet is not anxious or happy to be left for periods of time (no more than 3 hours), I am happy to consider during the week care to help owners if needed. All dogs will receive a minimum of three good walks a day and anything else that is needed. I live in an area which has access to lots of walks, long and short. As well as plenty of walks including beaches and trails just a car journey away if pet is ok to travel. I have a fenced garden, safe for dogs of all sizes. Your pet will be treated like a family member, lots of walks, kisses and cuddles, a place on the sofa and a bed to sleep in.
