Dog Boarding in Cornwall

About: I have been around animals my whole life.. My first job when I was 15 was cleaning out the kennels and walking the dogs at a local rescue centre. I have also worked at a veterinary practice and have looked after dogs in my home for the last 5 years. I have always owned dogs, I adore dogs and love being around them. I have a 1 year old Frenchie mix who loves dogs and a 8 year old son who is verry dog savvy and loves to play fetch with dogs. We live a 10 minute walk to the beach and have a fully enclosed garden with 6 ft fencing, my dog has a dog flap so has free access to the garden at all times but that would be up to your preference. I work from home a lot so the dogs are never left for more than 3 hours. Happy to answer any questions! I work part time hours and am lucky enough to be able to work from home if I need to, I am also able to take dogs to work with me if they would enjoy that. I have a 2 bed house with a small enclosed garden. I live at the start of the beacon right on top of lots of popular dog walks as well as being a 10 minute stroll to the local beach-which has the bonus of being dog friendly year round!

About: I have grown up with our family dog Zulu, who is now a 12 year old labradoodle. She has been my best friend and companion for a long time, and is the reason I love dogs so much. She taught me how to read dogs and understand their needs. My parents also now have a 4 year old spaniel who is full of energy and love! I regularly look after Zulu and Mali whenever my parents go away. I absolutely adore dogs of all shapes and sizes and will provide your dog with the care they need. I work Monday - Thursday so have every Friday off, meaning I can look after your dog if you need to head into the office! My job also allows me to take my dog into work as it involves lots of work outside so I could also fit your furry friend into my schedule during the week if needs be. I have a fenced back garden so they can regularly go out to the toilet and live near Laddock woods which is great for some fun off-lead walks. We also enjoy exploring and going for longer beach walks on weekends.

About: Myself and my partner, Meg, have grown-up around dogs of various sizes and breeds from Westie's, Yorkshire Terriers and most recently an English Bull Terrier that we sadly lost recently. If your pooch is happy traveling in a car then the option to take them to various different places each day for a new and exciting walk is an option, this can include the beach, clay trails or even the woods (wherever your dog is the happiest). The village we live in also offers several scenic walks that will also be exciting and more than enough to entertain your pooch, if they don't travel well in cars - this is a preference that can be made by you. Myself (Shaun) and my partner (Megan) both work from home, everyday, so your pooch will never be without love & attention. I'm an early riser, that loves walking and exercise. For the last 5 years, walking our English Bull Terrier has been part of my day-to-day. We have a lot of time and energy to be able to ensure your dogs stay is as joyful for them as it is stress-free for you. We have a secure, fenced & gated rear garden. We also have a 3 year old daughter that loves animals of kinds. She's grown up around dogs her whole life, including staffies, bullies and other terriers which means she knows how to behave around dogs. She also attends nursery 3 days a week. We have baby gates upstairs and downstairs so we can easily keep and secure your dog whenever is needed. After having an energetic English Bull Terrier, I can confidently say our home is 'dog-proof'.

“Elishia cared for River exceptionally. Very calm home and offered so much love and welcome for River. Daily updates and pictures offered comfort on her care. Highly recommended.”

“Alex looked after our little Monty for 5 days and he was absolutely the right sitter for him. We met a few weeks before for a short walk. His ease and love of dogs was obvious at this first meet. Alex was an excellent communicator before and during Monty's stay, sending pupdate messages, photos and videos daily. Monty was taken on adventurous walks and even went to watch the Red Arrows on his first evening. When we collected Monty, he kept looking back for Alex as we walked back to the car. Monty clearly didn't want to leave him! We would highly recommend Alex.He is a genuinly gentle, kind hearted and trustworthy person. We wouldn't hesitate to book Monty in with him again. Thank you Alex”

“We loved Ashley. She was so sweet and wonderful with our dog. She took him on some great adventures and sent lots of pictures and videos. He was very happy to stay with her. I highly recommend her and will be using her again in the future”

“We left finding someone to look after our dog until the last minute, but we got very lucky! Sarah was very helpful and flexible about accommodating our awkward drop-off and collection times, and she attended to every need of our pet, giving us as many updates as we wanted. Our dog came back to us clean, fed, happy and well exercised, and we couldn’t recommend Sarah more highly.”

“This was Finn and Ottos second stay and was a week boarding. We got regular updates on what the dogs were up to and loads of pictures of them on the beach, walking in the fields and relaxing in the evening. They were obviously being well looked after!”

About: I have been a dog lover since before I can remember! I have been a dog mum to a beautiful girl, Vita, who I spent a long time training and adventuring with. I grew up with Staffy’s and was always keen to be involved in the care of them, with this I have developed an understanding of how to deal with strong breeds. Friends, family and neighbours have all relied on me for dog sitting over the years. I have always been a keen runner and adventurer and have experience walking dogs of all sizes and temperaments. Since moving from New Zealand, I fostered a dog from a charity, giving her the opportunity to find her feet after living on the streets. This enhanced my experience working with nervous dogs. I am currently not able to have a dog of my own and can’t wait to have the opportunity to surround myself with them again!! I’m available for boarding and dog walking from Friday through until Sunday, as well as some Thursdays. I am happy to consider other days however work full time Monday-Wednesday. I live in a flat with an unfenced garden. I would be happy to keep your dog on a lead when outside if needed. I would provide your dog with as many walks as desired! I am happy to keep your dog crated when I am out of the house

“Absolutely AMAZING!!! Fantastic communication from start to finish, lots of pictures and videos throughout. Rebecca made our dogs feel extremely comfortable from the beginning and they are looking forward to their next stay with her. Would highly recommended Rebecca to anyone and we will definitely be using again.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs ever since I was 14. I’ve dog sitted, walked neighbours dogs, and owned dogs myself. I have a great passion for the care of animals having worked on a farm for 3 years when I was 11. I also love the outdoors and love to explore with dogs! I’m currently a student at Falmouth university. I can walk mornings and evenings. I’m happy to do big long walks on weekends and I can drive to nice places. I care for my dog at home by taking it on nice long walks also allowing a nice balance of rest time for them. With other dogs I spend time with learning what care they like best and how I should approach my time spent with them.

“Such a great guy, second time ive left my two dogs with Richard and he is just wonderful with both. Patient and respectful of the more anxious rescue and obviously has a great playful bond with the puppy. Totally trust him and 💯 will use again. Thanks again Richard 🙏”

“Callan and Jess were fantastic sitters. It was our pup’s (Fred’s) first time away from home, and they made us feel at ease by letting us see where Fred would be staying and introducing us to their two dogs and cat which are all lovely. They took Fred for a walk and sent us photos throughout the stay to keep us informed. We would highly recommend them and we look forward to using their service again.”

About: I have looked after senior dogs with life limiting illnesses and anxiety over the years. I'm currently focusing on maintaining calm environments for anxious dogs Hi there! I am Michelle (Chelle) , a dog-loving person who treats every pup like family. Whether your furry friend loves long walks, belly rubs, or just snoozing in a sunny spot, I am here to make sure they feel safe, loved, and right at home while you’re away. I have several years of experience with rescues and often look after friends and family's dogs. I am a student and study from home, giving me lots of time to share a little extra love to your pup! My wife is home evenings and weekends. I have a secure, fenced off garden that is great for running and regular toilet breaks. I take dogs out for toilet breaks every couple of hours and walk them twice a day (if needed). I have plenty of room for extra dog beds and can make provisions to store specialist food and baths.

“Our 9 month old puppy had a fab week with Charlotte. From our first enquiry Charlotte was really quick to respond and was happy for us to visit prior to our pups stay. We had lots of lovely photos and updates during our holiday. We would definitely be happy for our puppy to stay with Charlotte again”

“Poppy seemed really happy during her stay. Chloe kept me updated with photos and messages and accommodated my early pick up to fit in with our plans. Will use again if in the area.”

About: I have worked from home since the pandemic and have been asking my friends if I can look after their furry friends. I look after Mo who is an older Shiah Tzu, very nervous and has separation anxiety from his owner, bless him. We are now best buddies. He has his own spot in the house he likes to sleep and I have a large back garden for him to play in. We walk around my area which has loads of dog walks and he loves a cuddle and coming on a Teams meeting to say hi to my work mates. He is quite a character. I also beg my other friend to look after Clarence. A 2 year old Jackapoo. My what a difference, he is so lovely and playful. He is my side kick that will follow my everywhere. Loves to go for a walk, chew anything he can get hold of. So I have to be a little stricter with Clarence. He is still a puppy learning the rules so I give a help in hand in that. He is so adorable. I miss them both when not around and would love to have more on board on a more regular basis. I would always arrange to meet you and your dog first before any sitting is arranged so your dog is comfortable. My daughter is constantly begging me for a dog and I think this is the best way for us to do just that. My daughter has two pets a rabbit and a Guinea pig (safely away from larger furry friends) and knows how to treat them with love and care. I work from home full time. I have an hours lunch and can get a big walk in, in that time what ever the weather. Early drop offs and late pick ups can be arranged to fit into your scedule I have a large fenced back garden for your furry friends to play in and wooden floors so no panic about the dirt. I allow dogs on my furniture and want them to feel at home.
