Dog Boarding in Darlington

“Alana was fantastic with our little boy Geno. He has a bit of anxiety and she was extremely kind and patient with him. She sent us several updates and it was obvious she really cared and wanted Geno to be happy and comfortable. We will definitely book with Alana again!”

“I am so tempted to write a terrible review just so Alice and her adorable family are available just for me! However that would be doing all those other doggos a disservice. Alice was just amazing from start to finish. My pampered Diva Queen was well tended to, quirks and all. Very welcoming and kind. Lovely clean quiet home. I could tell Susie was made to feel so welcome when we picked her up I thought we were going to have issues getting her to leave! Message updates throughout the stay as they could tell I was a nervous mumma! Thank you again Alice 🩷👑”

“Jessie seemed very happy and had two lovely doggy friends to keep her company too. Plenty of space, located in lovely surroundings, lots of greenery! Very responsive to messages, photos recieved too. Overall I am over the moon with the service we had from Fiona. Jessie can be a whirlwind so thank you for looking after her for us 🩷”

About: • Understanding of dog body language and behavior • Skilled in positive reinforcement training • Confident handling reactive or nervous dogs • Experience with multi-dog environments • Ability to give medications or manage special diets • Safe off-lead play and recall in secure areas • Basic first aid for dogs I currently have a flexible working from home job allowing me to take my own dog on three walks per day in the nature reserve behind our house. Your dog will be able to join us and have my full presence throughout the day and evening. We have a large fenced garden which is great for exercise (especially our working cocker spaniel). We also have a separate fenced yard for dogs that would like a bit of downtime. Your dog will have the full run of the downstairs of our house, yard and garden all day every day. We cater for crate trained dogs and dogs who like to be free roaming, they’re free to make themself at home wherever they feel most comfortable. Aswell as our large garden, we have a lovely nature reserve directly behind our house meaning your dog will enjoy three or more walks per day (if they desire), allowing them to explore.

“Our Wire Fox Terrier Elsie had an overnight stay last week with Lindsay in her home and she was extremely well looked after. Lindsay first introduced her two lovely small gentle dogs and they all got along very well. During the evening Lindsay sent me a photo of Elsie relaxing contentedly in her bed. We would have no hesitation in leaving Elsie again with Lindsay.”

“Nicola was absolutely amazing with our Alfie for his weekend boarding. It was his first weekend away from home and we were very worried, but Nicola made him feel completely at home and looked after him as her own! Nice walks, run in the field, continuous updates as much as we wanted, great communication. Right from the start we knew Alfie was is safe and loving hands!

“Jack was amazing looking after my dog Maxine for the night. I was anxious about looking for a dog sitter as I have only ever left Maxine with family before. But Jack made the process go very smoothly and filled me with confidence. Maxine seemed to have a great time, she got on great with Jack's dog Callie. I would be happy to use Jack and Callies sitting service again and would definitely recommend”
