Dog Boarding in Bolsover

“Bailey stayed with Catherine for 2 days and he was wonderfully looked after. Catherine was very warm and welcoming, opening her home up to Bailey and soending tine with us to understand Baikeys habits and daily routines. Catherine was thorough in ensuring Baileys stay was as comfortable as could be and as such, I would recommend Catherine for your boarding need. We will definitely be booking with Catherine should we need another stay.”

About: Ive taken care and been around dogs my whole life. I have two miniature dachshund’s called Bonnie and Clyde. I am very specific with where I would let my dogs stay/be looked after, so totally understand how much of a big decision finding the right person to look after your dog is. Please feel free to message me any questions :) I currently work from home, so I will be at home all day everyday if you chose to leave your dog/puppy with me. I also walk my dogs every lunch time around the park. Our garden is fenced, enclosed and large- so plenty of safe space for your dog/puppy to run around, they will also be walked at least once a day.

“Highly recommended, will be booking with sabina again. She is very experienced with caring for dogs/animals and even provided some training for my dog whilst caring for her. Tallulah was very happy and comfortable staying with Sabina & her lovely family.”

“Cassie was well looked after and I think she had a wonderful time snoozing away on Keira’s sofa. Keira assured all of my concerns given that Cassie is a senior dog and can be a bit tricky on a walk - Keira took this all in her stride and was excellent. Communication throughout the week’s stay was great and just the right level. I was really happy to see Cassie relaxed, and would definitely book Keira again.”

“From start to finish Meghan was a joy to work with. From the initial meet up to the care and attention she gave Deano was above and beyond expectation. Brilliant communication and loads of pics showed Deano wasn't just looked after but was treated as part of the family. Thanks again Meghan we will definitely be using again.”

About: I have lived with dogs since I was 10 years old. We are a family of dog lovers and our dogs are our babies. I am new to sitting and walking but I have my own dog who I care for and walk every day. I have lots of ideas of dog walks and also know what it is like to care for a reactive dog as my dog can be anxious around other dogs. I am currently on holiday for the summer as a primary school teacher and looking to earn some extra money pet sitting and dog walking. This could be something I do more regularly when I start working again at weekends and evenings. I cannot care for dogs in my own home due to my dog being reactive however I am willing to come to your home. I will treat your home like my own and the safety of your pet will be of paramount importance. I will always think about how I would want someone to care for my dog when caring for your pets. Our pets are our babies and our family and that is how I will care for your pets.

“I’ve waited a while to leave Nicola a review, because our girl Dolly, had extremely bad separation anxiety, so Nicola devised a plan, to help us through it. I’m being completely honest here, I really didn’t think that we’d get there. My stomach was truly in knots about our girl not being able to cope and as much as we adore and love her, the thought of us not ever being able to have any holidays or day trips, was truly upsetting and frustrating. Nicola never gave up, and was always honest and adamant, that she wanted to do everything possible to help our girl and us. After a fair few hours of having Dolly, but easing her in gently, slowly but surely, we were seeing massive improvements, each time she went. Nicola even devised another plan, for when Dolly was picked up and dropped off, I had initially been walking her up, leaving her, then walking back for her, once her session with Nicola was finished. Nicola, quite rightly decided that by doing it this way, was making Dolly realise that once I’d dropped her off, I’d be leaving, hence her separation anxiety, would begin, so after chatting to me, it was decided that Nicola would begin to fetch Dolly from ours and then bring her back, after her visit was over……….. GENIUS, it worked like a dream. We had another few Doggy Day Cares before we tried the ultimate, of Dolly getting booked in with Nicola, for a nights boarding. Our girl had her sleepover and was not fazed one little bit. She was as good as gold and Nicola even mentioned that any house noise, or noise from another Dog, did not disturb her, or bother her whatsoever. We had an extremely happy Dolly, dropped back off to us the next morning. Music to our ears!!!, and all thanks to the help and guidance from Nicola, who never faltered once and went above and beyond, to try everything possible, to help our girl and indeed us. We are so grateful and thankful that we found Nicola. Dolly adores her and has so much fun with Boots. Long May this continue, we are now confident enough to book holidays and know, that Dolly will be just fine. She will also still go for the odd Doggy Day Cares with Nicola, so we keep to a routine. Thank you so much, it’s hard to put into words how much this means to us as a family❤️”

“Molly loved her weekend spent with Natasha. From the start Natasha communicated well and sent me regular updates and photos which made me smile and gave me reassurance that Molly was being well cared for and happy. I have no hesitation in recommending Natasha and will certainly use her again if the need arises.”

About: I’ve rehomed dogs for almost 30 years, from all different backgrounds , from mistreated to owners who were no longer able to look after their loved dogs. I’ve also had the good fortune to have bred 2 beautiful puppies from one of my rehomed dogs. I’m now retired and do not have a dog of my own and I live alone so can dedicate my time to caring for a dog. I have no regular commitments. I would be happy to care for someone else’s loved dog. My garden is almost 2 acres and is fully fenced, so dogs would be safe to play outside. I am confident around all breeds of dogs, for the last 28 years I’ve had English Mastiffs, Dogue du Bordeaux and Neoplolitan Mastiffs, however previously have experience of other breeds.

“We’ve definitely struck gold finding Lucy. She gladly helped us out with a last minute request and we met up for a walk and visited her home just 2 days before we needed her to look after Monty. We knew straight away that she was the perfect dog sitter for us. She is very professional and her obvious love of dogs shines through. She reassured us with photos over the 2 days and Monty came home a very happy boy. We were happy too and will definitely be dropping him off for another stay soon. We can’t recommend Lucy highly enough.”

About: I've had dogs all my life, with my Labrador she gets awfully lonely in the day while I work so would love a friend to play with ❤️ I currently work from home so can care for dogs all day in and around my working day. My lab is dying for a play mate in the day while our son is at school 😭❤️ I have a fenced garden with a friends playful girl Labrador, she's use to small dogs too and we love nothing more than chilling on the sofa covered in doggie snuggles.

“We have not had a holiday in many years because we have not had anyone to look after our dog. This year we decided to look for some one to care for Sadie in their home. We found Rover and looked at all their sitters, we went to Alison in the first place because she was near to our home.On meeting Alison she put our mind at rest immediately, Sadie took to her straight away and we were able to go on holiday without any concern. Alison sent us a message and a photo everyday. Alison’s fees are not the cheapest on the sight but she is worth every penny for the peace of mind and I hope we will be able to make us of her service in the future, I cannot praise her to much. Gail Blamire.”

“Percy went to stay with Sarah and her family for the first time. We had previously had a meet and greet when they made myself and Percy very welcome. It was very obvious from all the photos Sarah sent whilst I was away that he was having a wonderful time and enjoying himself. I would most certainly recommend Sarah to anyone lovely family who love dogs!”

“Just picked my 2 girls up from a 6 night stay with Luke, not going to lie my anxiety about leaving them was awful, but we did a meet with Luke and his 3 fur babies and they all got on so well, made it a little easier. We dropped the girls off and was updated straight away on how they were. Everyday we got updates, photos and videos, I was able to enjoy my holiday knowing my girls were getting as much love and attention with Luke as they do at home. Will definitely be booking with Luke again 5☆ could have asked for anymore. Thank you Luke from us all”

“Joanne and co has been absolutely fantastic with my little 6 month old cockapoo! she has extensive knowledge around all different breed of dogs.

Honestly and truthfully she has been wonderful and would HIGHLY recommend anyone to see Joanne and have their dogs board with her! Thank you so much again, you have been fantastic. Would definitely see Joanne again. Plus Rupert absolutely loved play time and cuddle time with her.”
