Dog Boarding in Central Bedfordshire

“​Outstanding sitters! Jasmin and Ted were absolute lifesavers when we had a last-minute three-night hospital stay for the birth of our baby. They welcomed our cockapoo, Eddie, with open arms and treated him like royalty. ​Their flexibility and kindness took a huge weight off our minds. We got lots of updates and photos of a very happy dog. We came home to a relaxed Eddie, which is the best sign of a wonderful stay. Cannot recommend and thank them highly enough!”

About: We have been caring for dogs for many years and have experience with small medium and giant breeds. Although we are new to this site, we’re certainly not new to providing loving, reliable and experienced care to dogs. We are a family of 4, with 2 children. We have a number of pets like ferrets, Guinea pigs and chickens. But these can all be kept away from your dog if your dog is not good with other dogs we also offer a one dog only booking at an extra charge. Our home offers a very large garden, fully secure with plenty of space to run play and explore safely. We are also surrounded by beautiful countryside providing wonderful daily walks with fresh air, enrichment and plenty of sniffing opportunities. We are in a village location near to the motorway and just about 15 minutes from Luton Airport. As a family of animal lovers were used to caring for a range of pets including rabbits, guinea pigs ferrets and chickens so we understand the importance of attentive care routine and individual needs. Your dog will enjoy a calm caring environment with plenty of companionship and supervision. By way of update, our beautiful Saint Bernard Bailey died at the start of January so we don’t currently have our own dog. Both my husband and I are available seven days a week. My husband does shift work and I work most days from home. There is never a time when we’re not one of us at home except for the school run which takes about 15 minutes. At our home, we provide truly personalised Home from Home care based on your individual dogs needs behaviour and personality. We know that every dog is different. Some might be energetic and painful while others are more sensitive and prefer a calm environment and we can adapt our approach accordingly. Any dog that comes to stay with us he cared for as part of our family with their comfort and safety being the centre of everything we do. We are fortunate to have a very large Secure garden where dogs can enjoy safe outdoor time to play and explore. There was always somebody at home and it would only be an exceptional circumstances that a dog may be left alone for up to 45 minutes.. supervision, companionship and reassurance are a key part of the care that we provide Our home is set up to accommodate different needs so if your dog is trait trained and feels most secure in their crate we have space to provide this if they are used to sleep on a bed or a sofa we can accommodate that too. We are fortunate enough to have three separate living rooms so they would not have to share their sofa with any other dog. We aim to maintain their routines as much as possible but a typical day in our home begins around 7 am with family time between seven and nine with us getting up dressed and ready for the day dogs are walked between nine and 11 and again depending upon the dogs need for exercise so we will tailor that depending upon your dogs needs an age. Within tend to let the dogs have some calm downtime after their walk, but if they prefer to continue to play outside or sit on our lap for a cuddle that’s absolutely fine between around three and five we offer further enrichment for the dogs, so we’ll play ball in the garden and things like that if they want to followed by a further late afternoon early evening walk and then bedtime for our dogs is usually around 10 pm ensuring a calm and settled end to the day We always feed dogs separately to ensure safety and reduce any risk when caring for dogs from different households. We take additional precautions particularly around introductions and all introductions are carried out to ensure the dogs feel safe and comfortable. We are able to keep dogs separate if needed and should separation be required. Dogs will still have supervision companionship and access to comfort in their own allocated space. We as a family have already owned an old English sheepdog, Cavalier King Charles, golden retrievers and most recently Bailey are giant Saint Bernard. Unfortunately, after a very short illness Bailey died in January this year. Therefore, we don’t currently have a dog of our own within the Home, but we are sure that will change in a few more months, as we can’t imagine our life without a dog in it

“Lisa and Alex were absolutely amazing with my dogs! From the start, they were warm, responsive, and clearly experienced with pets. They took the time to learn about our routine and preferences, and kept me updated with photos and messages throughout the stay. I came back to 2 happy, relaxed dogs, they didn’t want to come home! Highly recommend Lisa and Alex”

“Another fab stay with Ashley (and Millie). Trigger loves coming to stay and Ashley always keeps us updated with photos and messages. It’s lovely to be away knowing he’s been looked after so well!”

“Sara was very welcoming at made me feel at ease as it was my first time bringing my dog to her , she sent plenty of updates and took her out for a lovely walk , her dogs were a lovely addition as they are very friendly and sweet and looked like they all got on great. Poppy seemed to be very happy and content when I collected her and would love to book her again.”

Susan B.

“Thiaza and her family (her partner and daughter) are lovely, warm, and welcoming. They made me feel comfortable from the time of making the booking to throughout my dog Bobby's stay who boarded for several days. Bobby was spoilt with playtime with the family and it didnt take long for him to tire and settle and feel at home. Thiaza ensures to keep regular updates on Bobby together with pictures and videos which is always relieving knowing he was happy and sleeping well. Boarding is something I sometimes use and I'm certain to be re-booking with Thiaza again and again!”

About: I’ve had dogs and been around them all my life, i love all animals. I train, walk and care for all dogs like they are my own. I’ve pursued dog walking for 5 years so since i was 15 for people around my area and looked after different dogs and cats for friends and family. I have trained certain dogs with being controlled on a lead, less barking or tricks. I’ve taken care of older dogs ages 11-15 as well as walked them so am able to cater to them if need be i’m currently working part-time, which are the days not available, but other than that i have my own dog that gets walked around 4-5 times a day as he’s a cockapoo with a lot of energy. I will be home all day on the days available and spend alot of time playing indoors and outdoors. I live with my mum and boyfriend so your furry friend wont ever be alone in case i need to pop out. i have a large fenced garden with a locked gate, that outlooks a big field that i go on walks with at least 3 times a day. i have 1 friendly cockapoo who is 6 years old and sniffs and then relaxes, other dogs doesn’t bother him, he likes humans more.

“Sarah took really good care of Joey, he was really happy when i saw him and full of energy, he’s also been a lot calmer since he’s come back and can’t thank her enough for looking after him as I know he can be a handful”

“Mush became part of Lauren’s family whilst he stayed there which is all a dog mum could want. Kept me updated throughout with lots of pics. Mush was spoilt rotten with lots of walks and cuddles”

“This is the second time Tania has looked after Juno and honestly, I cannot recommend Tania enough! She is so caring and wonderful with Juno. Juno is comfortable and happy when she’s with Tania and it really puts me at ease knowing that she’s in such great care! Thank you for everything, Tania!”

“My lab Bailey had an amazing stay with Florence. I was caught out last minute when my previous sitter cancelled. Florence got back to me super quick, and even made herself available for a meet and greet at the park before Bailey’s stay. Bail looked like he had the time of his life while I was away, Florence sent through some amazing photos and it was great to know he was having a ball. It’s always hard leaving your pup, but Florence genuinely made Bailey a part of the family, and he loved Bonzo’s company during his stay. Couldn’t recommend Florence highly enough, Bailey was so well looked after, and I’ve already booked him for my next trip away!”

Ashton L.

“I had an amazing experience boarding my dog with Stephanie! From the very first meeting, my dog felt completely at home with her and her lovely family. Stephanie’s own dog is calm, friendly, and playful, which gave my dog a wonderful new friend to enjoy his stay with. Stephanie and her family took care of my dog as if he were their own — honestly, even better than we do! Her daughter is also fantastic with dogs; when I went to pick mine up, he happily followed her around, which showed how comfortable and loved he felt there. It truly felt like a second home for my dog. I’ll definitely be choosing Stephanie for all my future stays — it’s such a relief knowing I can travel without any worries, knowing my dog is in such caring hands.”

Nikunj P.

“Tiffany did a fantastic job looking after my dog, managing his ‘stuck in the way’ routine, ensuring he got his meds and more importantly the love and attention he craves. She also provided plenty of great updates so we knew we did not need to worry about him while we were away. I would highly recommend her.”

Daniel B.

“Great communication, and followed all instructions regarding medication. A friendly face, and a comfortable tidy home. I can't wait for Yuuki to spend more time with Stephen!”

Michaela H.

“Nothing was too much trouble for Mariesa. This was the first time we have left our anxious whippet Charli overnight and we were fretting about how much anxiety she would exhibit. Mariesa distracted any signs with play, games and love. Will not hesitate to book Mariesa again and cannot recommend her highly enough.”

Shirley B.

“Mark and Katie were absolutely fantastic with our Whippet, Blue. From the start, we felt completely confident leaving her in their care. They’re warm, attentive, and clearly adore dogs, treating Blue like one of their own. We really appreciated the updates and photos, which gave us total peace of mind while we were away. Blue had the best time and has become best friends with Watson — it’s so lovely to see how much she enjoys being with them! She came home happy, relaxed, and clearly very well cared for. We wouldn’t hesitate to highly recommend Mark and Katie to anyone looking for amazing dog sitters.”
