Pet Boarding Blacon

About: Mum to 2 cheeky pugs, so experienced in the care of bracy (flat faced dogs) as well as other breeds (big and small!). I've had pets since I was a young girl and genuinely love dogs and animals! I take pet care very seriously and will put your pets health and safety first. I'm extremely patient (you have to be with stubborn pugs!). Visits and sits will include fuss, play time, cuddles and any care needs. I work full time Mon-Fri but do work from home some days so please contact me for availability. Also available for evening walks/visits as well. I work full time and have 2 dogs of my own but drop me a message to discuss availability! I take my obligations seriously so wouldn't let you down on whatever I've committed to. I have a fenced garden and a secure house. I am used to dogs with no recall so understand the importance of keeping dogs safe. Any visitors would be treated like one of the family including cuddles on the sofa. I am happy to follow feeding and care instructions to the letter!

“Absolutely fantastic dog sitter! I booked with Abbey at very short notice, just the day before, and she was so accommodating and happy to take my dogs in. From the photos and updates, it was clear they were having a brilliant time and were very well looked after. She took them for walks, played with them, fed them and made sure they were settled and comfortable. It was such a relief knowing they were in safe hands, and I really appreciated how flexible and caring she was. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Abby and would definitely book with her again. Thank you so much for looking after my dogs!”

“Sarah was amazing with our nervous dog, Boo. She doesn’t normally warm to strangers very fast, but with Sarah, Boo took to her instantly. You could tell Sarah was patient and had a calming energy about her, which Boo really responded to. During the week-long stay, we received regular updates, and at no point were we worried about Boo. We knew she was well looked after. We will definitely be trusting Sarah with our Boo again. Usually, we worry about leaving her behind when we go away, so it’s lovely to find someone we know Boo is happy with. We honestly can’t recommend Sarah enough!”

About: I have 5+ years veterinary experience with a passion for animal welfare. I have previously trained puppies for hearing dogs for deaf people and I love teaching new tricks! I work rotating early and late shifts in small animal veterinary care, so my schedule can be flexible. I am happy to board over weekends and alternate weekdays after 3pm. I am happy to pet sit at your house or mine, wherever your pet will feel most comfortable. I have a large fenced in garden and a no pet household.

“We left our dog Lily for 2 weeks with Heena. She was brilliant at taking care of our dog. She was very good with communication sending us photos of the dog on a daily basis. Lily looked happy when we picked her up 2 weeks later. I would certainly leave Lily with Heena again in the future.”

“Ellen is absolutely wonderful! We left our Labrador, Millie, with her for a two-night stay, and it was truly a home-from-home experience. Ellen’s deep experience with dogs shows from the moment you meet her—she treated Millie like family and made sure she was completely comfortable, happy, and loved. Having total peace of mind knowing Millie was in such a warm, welcoming home was priceless. We will definitely be booking with Ellen again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a top-tier dog sitter!”

About: We’re a family of four, with me and my three children aged 9, 12 and 14, plus our very friendly cocker spaniel, Oreo. We’re a busy, active family who love getting outdoors, going for walks and exploring, so dogs naturally fit into our lifestyle. Oreo is a much-loved part of the family and really enjoys having company, so we’re excited to welcome other friendly dogs into our home and give them lots of love, attention and a real family experience while they stay with us. Your dog won’t be treated like they’re in kennels — they’ll be welcomed as part of our family and included in our normal family life. There are plenty of cuddles, attention, walks and garden time, with someone around for most of the day. I know how difficult it can be leaving your dog with someone else, so I want to make the experience as relaxed and reassuring as possible. I’ve used Rover for dog care myself for years, so I know how important it is to find someone you can really trust with your dog. I understand the reassurance that comes from regular updates, photos and knowing your dog is happy, safe and being well cared for while you’re away. Oreo is very much part of our family, so we’re looking for friendly dogs who would enjoy a fun, relaxed family home and a canine companion. 🐶 I’d love to arrange a meet-and-greet first to make sure your dog and Oreo get along and that we’re the right fit for each other. ❤️ Our Schedule I welcome dogs at weekends and during school holidays. As a teacher, this means I’ll have plenty of time to give them lots of attention and make them part of our family plans. We love getting out and about for walks, exploring forests, visiting the beach and having little adventures, so your dog can come along and enjoy it all with us. Our Environment We live in a cosy, small family home with a secure, fenced garden where dogs can safely potter around, play and relax. It’s a relaxed, welcoming home environment rather than a kennel setting, and we’re happy for dogs to settle into our usual family routine — including plenty of sofa cuddles!

“Vivien was great with Buddy and he enjoyed the time he was there,unfortunately I had to cut my trip short due to personal reasons and Vivien was very accommodating and supportive and I would definitely use Vivien again”

“Tanya looked after my staffy for two weeks while I went on my honeymoon. I was so nervous about leaving him - he's incredibly needy, energetic and definitely a handful. But he adored Tanya, she looked after him so well and dealt with all of his issues, she sent pictures every day which was so reassuring and she gave me lots of really good advice. If you're thinking of booking Tanya, your dog couldnt be safer or happier with her. Thank you so much”

About: Dogs have always been a huge passion of mine, and I’ve spent many years owning, working with and caring for them professionally. My experience began working as a Veterinary Care Assistant, where I gained valuable experience caring for dogs and understanding their health, wellbeing and individual needs. I’m now a professional dog groomer and home-from-home dog boarder, running my own business, Cosy Canines. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs of all breeds, ages, sizes and personalities, and I love getting to know each dog as an individual and making sure they feel safe, happy and comfortable in my care. I’m also about to begin a degree in Canine Behaviour and Training, as I’m passionate about continuing to learn more about dogs and developing my knowledge of their behaviour, communication and wellbeing. I’m canine first aid trained, licensed and insured, and I treat every dog in my care as one of my own. My aim is to provide a genuinely loving, relaxed home-from-home experience, while giving owners peace of mind that their dog is in safe and experienced hands. 🐾❤️ I work as a full-time dog groomer from my purpose-built grooming cabin in my garden, so I am home throughout the day and able to give dogs plenty of care, attention and supervision. My grooming schedule is flexible, allowing me to fit walks, playtime, toilet breaks and plenty of cuddles around my working day. Dogs staying with me are part of the family and have company throughout the day rather than being left alone for long periods. Your dog’s safety and wellbeing are my top priority. I provide a calm, clean and secure home-from-home environment where dogs can settle in and feel part of the family. I have two friendly dogs of my own who are well socialised and used to having visiting dogs around. I also have two dog-savvy children who understand how to behave respectfully around dogs and their boundaries. All interactions are supervised, and I always make sure each dog has space and quiet time when they need it. With over 10 years of experience working with dogs, including my previous experience as a Veterinary Care Assistant and my current work as a professional dog groomer, I am confident recognising changes in behaviour and wellbeing and providing individual care based on each dog’s needs. I am also about to begin a degree in Canine Behaviour and Training, further developing my knowledge and understanding of dogs.

“Oli and Kinga couldn't have been better hosts for my two pups. Treating them like their own, they showered them with cuddles and playtime throughout their stay. They provided regular updates which was really reassuring given it was my pups first boarding experience. Couldn't recommend highly enough and my two are already looking forward to their next visit!”

“Thank you so much for looking after Duke!! he had the best time with you, and really appreciate you treating him like one of your own, would 100% recommend ☺️”

“Very happy with our first Rover booking. We got regular updates and videos to put our mind at rest and Tiffany took good care of Alfie, he seemed to have had a great time and we'll definitely be booking again in the future 😄”

Rachael W.

“Thomas took an amazing care of our dog, Ralphie, who had a great time relaxing and going on lovely walks. With regular updates and contact, we had a peace of mind that Ralphie is in good hands, as Thomas took time to listen to everything our (sometimes anxious) dog needed. We are so happy that Ralphie had a fantastic time with Thomas and we will definitely book again - thank you! ❤️”

“Rebecca was great with Ozzy and kept me updated throughout his stay. He seemed really happy and settled with her. Would definitely recommend and happily book again!”

Rosie W.

“Marianna has been an absolute godsent to us. We were initially apprehensive as Rupert has never stayed with anyone but ourselves so weren't sure how will he behave in a different house with someone he didn't know. However, in reality it was better than we expected. Marianna straight away found a connection with him, have been taking him for walks, spoiled with cuddles on the sofa in the evening ans he even made another doggy friend. It was great also to be updated and receiving pictures. We'll definitely book Marianna again and are now looking forward to little getaways. Thank you Marianna, you've been the best!”

Inga S.

“I have an energetic, loopy and loveable Sprocker Spaniel puppy, who has had the best Holibobs with Sarah and her family. Sarah is obviously mad about dogs and has given our pooch such a loving stay, with lots of care and attention. She sent us photos, videos and messages to keep us updated and it was evident when we collected Velma that she’d had an amazing week. We’ll definitely be keeping in touch with Sarah and won’t hesitate to send Velma back to her for any of our pooch-sitting needs. Many Thanks! 🐶 xx”

About: I have looked after dogs for just over 5 years, frequently looking after my parent’s Labrador and beagle and my Aunties French Bulldogs. I have also done payed work looking after dogs and cats for family friends. I have recently graduated from university and am looking for extra work doing something I love! I have a large house with lots of garden space and a full UK drivers licence making me available for walks, drop-ins and pet care. I am currently not working, so I have plenty of availability and flexibility for pet care. I can offer walks, drop-in visits and pet boarding throughout the week. I’m happy to work around each pet’s usual routine and make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise and company. I have a large garden with plenty of space for dogs to enjoy, although it is not fully secure, so I would always supervise pets closely and would not allow them to roam freely outside. I’m happy to follow your dog’s usual routine and any specific instructions you provide. I understand that every dog is different and will make sure they are comfortable, safe and well cared for. I also have a full driving licence, giving me flexibility for walks and visits.

“Really grateful to Ruth for having our little foxy and for persevering so patiently when she can be testing at times. Foxy had a great time and came back a happy little dog!”
