Dog Boarding in Colchester

“I would highly recommend these guys! They really went above and beyond to make our dog welcome. We were kept updated with messages and pictures which was lovely and very reassuring to see how happy our dog was with them. Great communication with us and a very happy dog. I will definitely be using them again.”

About: We have enjoyed caring for quite a few animals over the past year and included them in our days out and long walks. Vito is an energetic boy who has loved playing football with my children. Charlie is a calm old lad who has thoroughly enjoyed belly rubs and attention from the family home. Max just likes playing ball for hours and my children indulge him all day long. Milo likes long playful walks and Moreno loved having cuddles. My extended family are also rescuers that take in border collies from around the UK. I look after my neighbours dog Gizmo and their Guinea pigs regularly. We have also have had x5 dogs in doggie day care with us for longer stays due to family holidays and they have loved every second. (They are not here all the time ;) We have walked a border collie over in Dedham several times which we enjoy very much. My friends, family snd employers can rely on me not only to take care of their animals but to work to theirs particular needs to be happy and settled. We have yet to find an animal who hasn't wanted to stay and play. I am a secondary school teacher and my daughter Brooke (aged 16) is in secondary school. I will happily take care of animals before or after school and always on weekends. School holidays we are always open for business. We are flexible and work as a team. We are happy to board for you any time of the year. We have a big garden with high fences so your little treasures can't escape. We have a welcoming house and we love long walks or to snuggle. We have 2 young children, aged 5 and 8, who are gentle and kind. They adore the family dog Max who is a border collie (Max is our Nanas dog and lives with Nana). We have previously boarded larger / medium dogs 🐕 (not all at once) and it has been very successful. They have loved being here with us. One particular dog visits for 3-4 weeks a time in the summer.

“I can't say enough good things about Debbie and Shane! They took such amazing care of my dog Stephen, treating him like a member of their own family. Throughout his stay, I received lots of fantastic photos and detailed updates, which really put my mind at ease. It's clear they have a genuine love for animals and go above and beyond to ensure each pet feels at home. Stephen came back to me happy, healthy, and clearly well-cared for.”

“We were very nervous leaving our rescue boy overnight for the first time in 3 years but Georgia was very reassuring and made us feel very comfortable leaving him. She looked after him so well and he had a wonderful time!! Would really recommend her!!”

“Amy dropped in on my dog over lunch to allow him out and have some playtime. Amy is reliable and friendly and offers a handy service that helps with the care of my dog.”

“Phil and his lovely wife took great care of our labrador, Sparky. We had a meet and greet prior to boarding so we could all get to know each other and make sure it was the right fit. Phil is an experienced dog owner and he and his wife live in the quiet countryside, a perfect setting for your dogs holiday. We received regular photos and video updates on Sparky's welfare and messages describing the adventures he went on. Sparky almost didn't want to come home! He was clearly very relaxed whilst staying at Phil's home and made friends with other dogs and relatives over the weekend. I cannot recommend Phil and Liz enough! We will definitely be asking them to look after our boy again.”

“Paul was very attentive and caring for our little Roxie. She’s an old and very nervous dog and he made her feel at ease and comfortable. I 100% recommend paul. Thanks.”

“Ronnie had a great time with Jane and can’t wait to stay with her again. Jane was great at communicating with us and understanding his needs.”

“Always a pleasure. Giorgos clearly loves dogs and takes great care of Chalky. Highly recommended 👍”

“He was very responsive and easy to communicate with and we were receiving regular updates and pics over the days, which we really appreciated. Overall a positive experience and would recommend :)”

“Gia was an ideal dog sitter - she was good at communicating and absolutely no fuss.”

“This was the first time I have left my dog I Had many worries about it but miss Summers put me at ease and it was a wonderful experience I would highly recommend her she was so helpful”

“Lawrence and his wife love dogs and have done a great job with the training of their Cockapoo, Chester. Lawrence is very patient, keeps his cool under pressure and has a great deal of common sense. I'm sure he will be an asset to Rover and their customers, who need to be able to trust that their dogs are in safe hands.”

“I was very pleased with Evdokia, she looked after Olly so well thank you. It makes my holiday so much better knowing that he is been well looked after.”

“Thank you for another great stay and Tyson’s gift, he seems to love it when he goes to see you. He is very joyful and at ease, judging from the pictures and videos you send. I will continue to use your services. Thank you”

“Elina is very good with dogs! She loves all kinds of dogs and they feel safe with her. I always ask her to take care of my dogs and love her!”

“Jo was absolutely great with our dog - she is someone who loves dogs, and considers their individual needs and personalities. Our dog went for a trial night in early summer, and then stayed for a week and a half in mid summer. She did not want to leave after her trial night! And I could tell that she was relaxed and happy when I picked her up after our holiday (which I already knew anyway from the regular updates and pictures that Jo sent). Jo is a very kind, considerate and experienced dog boarder, and her lovely lurcher Eddie is calm and lovely with his doggie guests too. I would recommend Jo without hesitation.”

“I have had the pleasure of entrusting Stanley with the care of my beloved pets on numerous occasions, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. Stanley is not only responsible and reliable but also possesses a genuine love and compassion for animals that is evident in the way he interacts with them. Whether it's providing regular walks, administering medications, or simply showering them with affection, Stanley goes above and beyond to ensure the well-being and happiness of every furry friend under his care. If you're searching for a dedicated and loving pet caregiver, look no further than Stanley.”

“Josie has been brought up with animals. She is very sensible and caring. I have a large American Akita who Josie has cared for whilst I was away. Along with 2 giant continental rabbits, a small chihuahua cross. And 2 cats. Josie will make a wonderful pet sitter and walker. Will follow instructions of care. She is honest and reliable. Josie would be a. Wonderful asset.”
