Pet Boarding Brandon

About: Having either coveted or owned pets since childhood, and recently experienced my daughter hosting dogs in our family home before flying the nest on her next big adventure, I’ve decided to take over the family business. Yes, I know inheritance does not usually work this way but, hey, hosting your fur balls has been such a joy, and I have such a perfect space here, why not? Familiar with separation anxiety, medication administration, and all that comes with family pets. Very fond of long walks. Well aware from personal experience how daunting it can be to leave your pets in someone else’s care, and totally committed to ensuring their comfort and safety. Rest assured your pets will be well cared for - and lots of cute photos and updates will be sent. I’m self employed and work from home. My dog, Mo, and cat Gem, are well socialised and happy to accept well behaved comrades into their space. I have a big, secure fenced garden with lots of room to run around, and a comfortable living space where pets are welcome, including on the sofas. I’m respectful of other people’s needs and spaces, whether I’m visiting your home, or your pets are visiting mine, I’ll make sure their - and your - needs are met. Expect lots of photos - and possibly a short story, or poem from your pet.

About: I have been around dogs my entire life quite literally, my first present as a newborn straight out of hospital was a gorgeous black ball of fur aka Tyson a German shepherd puppy and from that day on we were inseparable…. Needless to say now gsd’s are my favorite breed and will always be my favorite butttt and that’s a very big but all dogs of all shapes and sizes hold a special place in my heart. I get on with dogs better then I do humans forming special bonds and an instant attachment to any dog I lay eyes on. I can’t go anywhere without stopping whoever has a dog and asking them if I can make a fuss of them so I thought I would put this love or obsession whatever you like to call it to good use and help others and welcome your dogs into my home where they will be loved like my own and part of our pack… food bowls washed throughly after every use and water bowls washed every time it’s refilled. Long walks every day or even 2 times a day and no I’m not talking a hour at a time I’m talking 3-4 hours I believe dogs should be outside exploring not inside all day… mental stimulation is a must…in absolute no circumstances will my children be climbing pulling or disrespecting your dogs as they have been taught from a young age and are always supervised to make sure I maintain good behavior around dogs… I’m not saying I’m perfect I’m just saying I know what I’m doing and your dog/dogs will be made to feel at home, loved and as happy as my own 🥰🥰 I am currently a stay at home mum who is looking for an extra income to contribute more to my household and my family? So I have availability pretty much all day every day from 10 AM up until 2 o’clock I am free and from 4:30 till whenever you need I am free. I will have my children with me if you are happy with that I have a baby and a toddler that don’t go to school yet if it’s at the weekend, then I will be Child free. This does not affect my ability to do my job as I have pets myself and I look after them with my children. If your dogs are other dog friendly, I’m happy for your dogs to join us, if not that’s ok too I can take them separately. I have two dogs myself who are more than happy to keep your dogs company. I can crate your dog for safety, If it is needed I have a garden and children that would love to play with your dogs if your dogs are at my home or you are happy for my children to play with your dogs then my toddler is more than happy to if my other two are at school. I have plenty of fans in my house for this hot weather and they are on all the time. If your dog is at my home, there is freshwater everywhere in my home. I have no rules in my house for dogs, being toilet trained is preferred but if your dog is old incontinent or still a puppy, it is absolutely fine. I have hardwood floors and dogs have accidents happen. It’s easily cleaned up. Your dog will be more than at home here they’ll be allowed up on the sofas in our garden.

About: I have always had dogs since being a young child so I am a huge dog lover and very capable of looking after them. I have my own dog Bailey, a toy poodle, who loves interacting with other dogs and is super friendly. We create a home away from home experience with lots of cuddles and walks! I have used this app before to arrange care for Bailey so I understand the anxiety around trusting someone else with your dog - happy to arrange a meeting in advance to answer any questions 😊 We typically go on 2-3 walks a day. I have the flexibility to work from home a few days a week so I will be home with your dog all day I have a walled garden so very safe for your pet. I have lots of lovely surrounding walks to take your pet to and they will be kept on a long lead to ensure they stay with me while getting to know each other.

About: I first became a "dog Mum" 15 years ago to our Westie, Elland, who sadly we lost recently. I sadly was that annoying "Dog Mum" who had pictures of her on my desk and booked holiday for her birthday each year. I took voluntary redundancy nearly 6 years ago so have been fortunate to spend quality time at home with her and take her out and about on our own or with her other doggy friends. Unfortunately she lost her hearing about 3 years ago so learnt quickly how to communicate with her with some basic sign language. She also developed dry eye disease so I had to administer drops 5 times each day. Two of these were determined by time so I had to ensure I was available to give her these on time. The last 5 months of her life, her arthritis worsened so I bought a buggy to help her whilst out for daily walks/sniffs. I have also looked after family dogs whilst they have been on holiday and have accomodated raw feeding for one of family dogs. I live with my husband in a bungalow. He still works but is here in the evenings and at weekends. I work during examination periods at a local college but can accomodate pet sitting around this as dates are known well in advance. My contract with the college is ona casual basis so dog sitting will be my priority. We have used a local dog sitter who stayed in our home when we went on holiday. I therefore understand the importance of providing important information to the pet sitter when leaving the pet. When I first stopped working I volunteered for a local hospice helping support a family who used their services, by walking their dog on a weekly basis to give them some respite and also encourage the dog to socilise. I did this for 12 months. I also volunteered at Wood Green Animal Charity during Covid restrictions. Although I was there to help in the fundraising office, we often had dogs who weren't settling in kennels, come and sit with us in the office for the day. Some were quite withdrawn so I learnt how to slowly gain their trust. I am retired so home all day. My husband works full time but is home in the evenings and at weekends. I do some casual exam invigilating but I know dates for this in advance so will not take on any work if pet sitting is booked. I am happy to be led by the owners on when and what activity their dog (s) are used to so am pretty flexible. I have acess to my own car so can take the dog to any appointments if required. I have a fully fenced in garden (6ft) I live in a village with lots of access to quiet walks in the countryside if required, as well as walks within the village itself. I am happy to book out local secure dog fields if agreed with the owner but this will involve driving to nearby fields. As previously mentioned we live in a bungalow so no stairs. We are based in a quiet cul-de-sac so if your dog is reactive to traffic, should not be a problm here. I have space for a medium size crate if required.

“Lisa was really nice and attentive to the need of our dog, he had such a great time at her house and she always sent me updates and videos of how he was doing. I recommend her and I will for sure have her watch again over my furry baby”

“Lexie had two nights with Julie and her family. As always Julie was very flexible and welcoming. Lexie was very well taken care of and we were kept up to date with pics and texts. It was lovely not to have to worry about her at all whilst we were away and she came home very happy.”

About: I have grown up surrounded by dogs and have always had a very special bond with them. My own dogs are currently in Ukraine, so I miss having dogs around me every day and would absolutely love the opportunity to spend more time with them here in the UK. I’m a very caring, responsible and attentive person, and I always make sure every dog feels safe, comfortable and loved. I’m happy to adapt to each dog’s individual routine, personality and needs, whether that means long walks, playtime, cuddles, feeding or simply keeping them company. I’m also happy to reinforce basic training and follow any routines or instructions you already use at home. Most importantly, I will treat every dog with patience, kindness and respect, and make sure they receive the very best care while they’re with me. 🐾 I attend university twice a week for half-days and don’t have another job, so I have plenty of free time to dedicate to pets. I live with my partner, who is usually at work during the day, so I can give dogs my full attention and company. I’m close to beautiful parks, fields and popular dog-walking areas, and I’m happy to travel up to an hour by public transport when needed. I would love to make pet care a meaningful part of my everyday routine and give each dog plenty of walks, attention, playtime and affection. I grew up with dogs and was very involved in their everyday care. I regularly groomed them, followed feeding schedules, gave basic medication when needed and carefully looked after their health. One of my dogs had allergies, so I was responsible for choosing suitable food and making sure she was fed only at the right times. We spent lots of time outdoors, going on long walks and exploring together. I loved taking my dogs with me wherever possible, even when meeting friends for coffee, because they were a big part of my everyday life. I’ve always paid close attention to their behaviour and understand when a dog needs exercise, affection, space or simply a quiet, comfortable environment. My goal is always for every dog to feel safe, loved and genuinely cared for.

“Sewwandi did such a great job with Bevo. They sent several pictures & videos and she communicated a lot with us providing updates throughout the day. Bevo didn’t have time to miss us between the walks and play time with their sweet little Boston, Poppy. They sent a few updates that let us know they were treating Bevo like she was their own. A week or so after her stay, we bumped into Sewwandi on a walk and Bevo lost her mind she was so excited to see her! I would recommend Sewwandi to anyone looking for a Rover!”

“Eileen has been amazing with my mums dog, Polly. Mum went into hospital and we were scrambling for somewhere and I cannot believe we found someone who was such a god send. Shes brilliant with Polly, utterly spoilt and we have loved the updates. Could not recommend more. Thank you so much Eileen 💓”

“Holly had a wonderful stay with Sasha this week! Sasha was lovely, and came to meet us in advance so we would all know who we were trusting with Holly. During her stay, Sasha sent photos of Holly nearly every day - these reassured us that Holly had settled in and was having a good time. I'd give Sasha more than 5 stars if I could, and we will definitely look to book her again next time we need a dog sitter.”

We frequently look after other people's dogs both in our home, taking them for walks and checking in on them in their own homes. We have experience with puppies and older dogs and welcome any breed. We both work from home so are very flexible and can make sure your dogs won't be left alone for too long. We have a 5 year old who loves animals and will enjoy giving your pet lots of extra playtime (if they would like it!) We both work from home so are always available to be home to care for your pets. We can do daily walks and frequent toilet breaks for the dogs. We have a fenced garden so there is a nice secure area for your dogs to go out and play. We have two very friendly cavaliers and a house bunny. The house bunny is caged or moved to a different room when other dogs come to stay.

“Caroline happily agreed to have Milo for us when we went away at very short notice. Nothing was ever too much, we were kept up to date regularly every day with pictures and videos and he was looked after him amazingly. Milo settled in so well and had an amazing time, he will definitely be back again!”
