Dog Boarding in Bournemouth

“Nina stayed with Ruben and Oggy for NYE and she had the best time. Ruben kept me updated constantly with videos and photos to reassure me that Nina was well. I would definitely be comfortable leaving Nina with Ruben again :) thank you again! Xx”

“Ruth was an absolute blessing. Communication was too notch and was happy to arrange a meet and greet. Albert came back very content and had regular walks. Ruth also provided me with updates of how they were all getting on. Would definitely recommend.”

“This was our dog’s second stay with Annmarie and once again she looked after her so well and provided regular updates and photos. We’ll definitely be reaching out again for future dog sitting needs! Thank you!”

Natasha M.

“Communication was great—daily updates with photos gave us total peace of mind. Our dog came back happy, calm, and clearly well cared for. We will 100% book Sophie again and recommend her to anyone.”

“One of the highlights of the service was the regular updates and adorable photos I received throughout the visits. It was evident that Sophie and James genuinely enjoyed spending time with our dogs, and these updates made our days. It's great to have that extra layer of connection and know that everything is going smoothly. Overall, I highly recommend Sophie for anyone in need of reliable and caring pet services. We would certainly be asking them again for future pet care needs. Thank you for taking such excellent care of our furry friends!”

Kay M.

“Nina was great and kept us updated with pictures and messages at all times. Our dog Cassie, who is normally quite a shy dog, loved her so much that she didn’t wanna leave.”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 star review, we highly recommend Carina !!! Provided exceptional care for Dotty. The daily updates, photos and videos were so appreciated and reassuring for us. Carina managed Dot's daily medication and supported her needs as a dog with joint issues. We are so grateful to Carina, who treated Dot as her own - we couldn’t have asked for more. Thank you so much. Dotty misses Lucky, her new best friend already. 🐶”

About: I’ve always had a deep love for animals, especially dogs, and over the years I’ve had the joy of looking after a variety of breeds, mainly friends pets! From energetic puppies to senior dogs needing extra care, I’m experienced in providing safe, loving, and attentive pet sitting. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, or just cuddles on the sofa, I make sure each pup feels happy and at home while you’re away. I work from home 3 days at week, they are quite flexible I can choose when to do to the office the other 2 days I don’t have any pets, I don’t smoke, I have a fenced garden for them to play or do wee, they are normally very happy with it.

“It was a perfect 1st stay away from home. Millie was made very welcome and Aga helped her to settle and maintained her routine. Aga couldn't have been more accommodating or caring and her updates with regular photos showing Millie happy and enjoying herself were very reassuring. A great dog minder that I will use again and would be happy to recommend.”

“Niels and family were able to look after our dog at very short notice and she was very happy. We were kept up to date with messages as pictures, would recommend.”

Jez G.

“Thank you so much for taking such good care of Lucie while I was away. She seems really happy and tired out so I think she had a great time!”

Louise

“Laura and Matt were amazing! So friendly and Jade clearly loved them and felt right at home at their place :) They were really flexible and understanding, I’d definitely be very happy to have them sit Jade again. Thank you!!”

Francesca M.

“Emily is an amazing sitter to our Aris. She was so lovely and sweet, treated him with so much love and care. Aris was well looked after and he seemed to have enjoyed his stay with her. I will definitely be contacting Emily again!”

Trish M.

“Sylwia was great with Tao. She was caring as he was feeling a bit poorly and she sent lots of updates to let us know he was OK. Sylwia was also great in communicating during the booking process - when we had to change the sit time she was very flexible and quick in letting us know. Sylwia's property and garden were also easy for our dog to navigate as there were no stairs and easy access to the garden. I would thoroughly recommend Sylwia.”

Jacqui T.

“Our nearly 13 year old dog Freddie had never stayed anywhere else before so we were quite nervous. Sylva took great care of Freddie, sending us regular updates which was really reassuring. We would have no hesitation in recommending Sylva and Freddie looks forward to his next stay”

Lynne M.

“We are very grateful to have had Alicia and Chris look after our little man whilst we were on holiday. They took fabulous care of him, sharing updates with us daily which put our mind at ease. Harry settled very quickly and really made himself at home with them. Really lovely people too ☺️ Thank you both”

About: Hi there! My name is Emily, I'm 29 and I’ve always been an animal lover and have raised two dogs from puppies — a cheeky little Cavapoo and a bouncy gundog Labrador. I’ve also cared for a big, soft-hearted Rottweiler who loved his cuddles just as much as his walks! During COVID, I helped out my vulnerable neighbours by walking their dogs, which gave me the chance to bond with all sorts of lovely pups. I’m gentle, patient, and always treat every dog like they’re my own — whether they’re a playful puppy or a slower-paced senior. I’m currently completing my university degree, so I spend most of my time at home and have a lot of flexibility in my routine. I’ll be starting a part-time job soon, but I still have plenty of availability, and I’m always happy to work around your pet’s needs. I’m available for last-minute bookings, evenings, and weekends with no problem at all. I’m also confident in giving medication if needed, whether it’s tablets, drops, or special care. Your pet’s comfort and well-being always come first with me! I’m very adaptable and will always make sure your pet feels loved and cared for. I live in a cosy, open-plan ground-floor apartment with a fully secure balcony, and there’s lots of grassy space right outside for regular walks and toilet breaks — I take pets out at least every hour to avoid any accidents! I have an adopted cat called Pebbles — he’s a big softie, half Maine Coon and half Tabby, and he’s brilliant with all kinds of animals. That said, he spends most of his time outdoors lounging on the driveway or in the bushes, so he’s rarely in the way. I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family — they’re welcome on the sofa and even the bed for cuddles (if you’re happy with that!). With your blessing, I’ll happily spoil them with treats, play with their favourite toys, and stick closely to their usual routine so they feel totally at home. Whether I’m caring for them in my home or yours, their comfort, safety, and happiness always come first.

About: I have had dogs since childhood. I am pretty good at lead training and I think success comes with kindness, not harshness that just scares them. I have a dog myself. I work from home as and when so no dog gets left for more than the occasional hour. My own dog is 11, very laid back and great with other dogs. Any dog in my home has free run of the flat and garden. They are allowed on sofas and my bed, if that's what they are used to in their own home. I live a stones throw from Southbourne clifftop/beach. This is where my dog, and any dogs in my care will be walked on a daily basis. I am more than happy to walk your higher energy/younger dog twice a day. I have a fenced in garden. It's not possible to get in or out except through the 2 sets of 6ft gates or through the flat. There is a garden at the front and we live on a mostly quiet residential road. Any dogs will always be on the lead before we leave the property.
