Dog Boarding in Darlington

“Badger has an amazing time at Alice and her lovely family. He's had the best care and absolutely loved it. Alice is one of the friendliest souls we've met, and goes above and beyond to keep your dog happy. Badger got taken into the family as if he was their own and we absolutely loved that! Makes it feel so safe to leave him. We didn't have any moment of worry! We'll definitely will be back! Badger can't wait. :)”

“Jade was brilliant, right from before I booked- answering questions etc. right through to my dog, Peggy's stay. She put us at ease, was very friendly, had a lovely home and looked after Peggy as if she were her own. Thank you!”

“CANNOT fault Amy at all! Such a brilliant dog boarder, my little sausage is normally very shy to meeting other dogs so I was a little bit worried but Amy is the SWEETEST person ever, I was in a panic with a last minute booking and she took me right under her wing and was so helpful! Definitely will be recommending her to around my area and returning!! ❤️”

About: As a kid, I asked for a dog and a pony every year at Christmas. I got my first dog when I was 20, while still at university, and he is my best ever friend (as well as his brother). I am still waiting on my own pony, although I do have over 10 years' experience riding and handling horses, including OTTBs and Welsh Section Ds. I love long walks in nature and being surrounded by animals makes it even better. The most important thing for me in caring for animals is to be respectful and patient while ensuring all of their mental and physical needs are met. My youngest dog is nervous and, as a result, can be quite a handful. This has lead me to research dog psychology and gain a decent understanding of animal behaviour. I can cater for those that are couch potatoes, high-energy, nervous, confident, cheeky (remember I have two beagles) and everything in between! I work full-time on a hybrid basis between home and the office so can be fairly flexible. I am desperate to get out for walks and spend time with animals, whatever day of the week it is. I generally take my dogs on a long walk once a day - I live in the countryside with lots of different routes - but I am able to be flexible in terms of exercise requirements as I know each dog is different. My dogs get other mental stimulation daily in the house/garden, including being scatter-fed, playing with toys and chews, and training obedience. I am able to offer boarding with advance notice, assuming I do not have other commitments. The safety and happiness of animals in my care is my priority. I will always be considerate of instructions you give me as you know your pet best, and I will be sure to communicate to make sure everyone is as happy as can be. For all services that I offer, your pets will be treated as if they were my own. That said, I understand different pets have different routines and their routine and routine can be vital to allow them to feel comfortable and safe. I will work with you and your pet to understand what suits everyone best. If your pet is at my home, your pet will be provided with many different areas to relax as well as toys and other stimulation. I have an enclosed yard which provides some good sniffing spots. I can accommodate frequent toilet breaks if needed, for example younger or older dogs. Whenever your pet is with me, they are unlikely to be left without any attention for longer than half an hour because I need my animal fix!

“AMAZING! Thank you so so much Jack and Abby. Max loved his stay and loved Callie even more. I am always so nervous to leave Max but they both were great and put my mind at rest. I got regular updates and great communication before and during. I couldn't recommend them more. Max already can't wait to see Callie, Jack and Abby again. Thank you :)”

“Karolina was amazing all the way. Her helpfulness to get us out of a sticky situation to providing plenty of information about timing, for when we could drop him off. She was amazing at keeping our cat Dave active and entertained. My partner was delighted to receive plenty of pictures and videos of our happy cat playing and being swamped with attention”

I like to offer a home from home environment where your dog can feel relaxed and at ease.

“Abby was absolutely amazing with my dog, she was like another mum to my little fur baby, you can tell she has lots of experience with a whole range of breeds/ages. She kept me up to date everyday with pictures and videos of Tilly 🐶 and her gorgeous dog Callie they got along so well! Even when we encountered a slight issue of not enough dog food ( my fault ) she was more than accommodating and came up with a solution straight away! I will be using Abby regularly when I go away with work, such a lovely caring person highly recommend ☺️”
