Dog Boarding in Derbyshire Dales

“Really happy to leave my dog with James, he & his partner are very caring people, taking their own and guest dog for lovely long walks. Already have future bookings with James.”

“Lynne and Paul are fantastic hosts. They looked after our dog perfectly. Lynne communicated really well before and during the stay. It was clear to us how happy our dog was during her stay.”

“Freddie my yorkie had a lovely time with jasmine for the week we went on holiday. She sent updates with pics and videos which was muchly appreciated . And he loves her xx will definitely use again”

“I’ve waited a while to leave Nicola a review, because our girl Dolly, had extremely bad separation anxiety, so Nicola devised a plan, to help us through it. I’m being completely honest here, I really didn’t think that we’d get there. My stomach was truly in knots about our girl not being able to cope and as much as we adore and love her, the thought of us not ever being able to have any holidays or day trips, was truly upsetting and frustrating. Nicola never gave up, and was always honest and adamant, that she wanted to do everything possible to help our girl and us. After a fair few hours of having Dolly, but easing her in gently, slowly but surely, we were seeing massive improvements, each time she went. Nicola even devised another plan, for when Dolly was picked up and dropped off, I had initially been walking her up, leaving her, then walking back for her, once her session with Nicola was finished. Nicola, quite rightly decided that by doing it this way, was making Dolly realise that once I’d dropped her off, I’d be leaving, hence her separation anxiety, would begin, so after chatting to me, it was decided that Nicola would begin to fetch Dolly from ours and then bring her back, after her visit was over……….. GENIUS, it worked like a dream. We had another few Doggy Day Cares before we tried the ultimate, of Dolly getting booked in with Nicola, for a nights boarding. Our girl had her sleepover and was not fazed one little bit. She was as good as gold and Nicola even mentioned that any house noise, or noise from another Dog, did not disturb her, or bother her whatsoever. We had an extremely happy Dolly, dropped back off to us the next morning. Music to our ears!!!, and all thanks to the help and guidance from Nicola, who never faltered once and went above and beyond, to try everything possible, to help our girl and indeed us. We are so grateful and thankful that we found Nicola. Dolly adores her and has so much fun with Boots. Long May this continue, we are now confident enough to book holidays and know, that Dolly will be just fine. She will also still go for the odd Doggy Day Cares with Nicola, so we keep to a routine. Thank you so much, it’s hard to put into words how much this means to us as a family❤️”

“Mavis was happy and tired when she got home so I know she’s had a good time and Emily’s (Mavis very rarely settles down before 8pm). Would fully recommend Emily, excellent communication and care excellent care for my dog 🐶😊”

“Sharon is so kind, friendly and lovely. Kept me updated all the time, sent me lots of pictures and videos. The communication was great! Willow had a great company with Sharon’s dogs and a day full of fun. Sharon made sure that Willow ate, was on a walk, but also had some rest! Thank you so much and will definitely recommend and rebook in the future xx”

“Maisie had a wonderful visit with Natasha. She completely settled and Natasha was fantastic with photos and updates throughout Maisie's stay. We will definitely use Natasha again ???”

“Our Beagle Ralph had a great first stay with Lynda & Frank. He seemed so happy with them & had plenty of walks and lots of fun! Lynda sent us regular pictures and updates so we were assured he was having a lovely time. He is looking forward to his next stay now. Thank you both!”

“Romilie loves animals especially dogs. She has grown up around them and knows how to look after them properly. She is a very kind and caring person and your dog would be in very good hands.”

“Hils and Lauren have looked after our lively hound on numerous occasions. Their communication is fantastic and they are both clearly animal lovers! We will definitely continue using them for dog boarding.”

“Ryan was very welcoming and quick to reply to messages. He kept us updated with photos and video. Our fur baby really seemed happy to be there. Will definitely be recommending to friends and will be booking again :)”

“This is the second time I have used Samantha to look after my dogs, initially just one but this time 2. I felt completely relaxed and reassured knowing my dogs were happy and well cared for whilst we were away. We were kept regularly updated with news and photos throughout the week ,and could see from the photos that my dogs were really happy and having fun. I wouldn't want to leave my dogs with anyone else. I'm very happy that they were happy and having fun whilst we were.”

“What a fabulous time Oban had with Amber, Evie, Mable and Marmalade. Amber is very confident around animals and we immediately felt reassured that Oban was going to settle in and be happy there. We had lots of photos and updates throught the 2 days which we really appreciated, he looked so happy, cosy around the log burner with Mable their spaniel and Marmalade the cat and loving life running aound the local park with Mable. We were worried he wouldnt want to come home. Highly recommend Amber and her "team". Oban would too ❤️”

“Nathalie was absolutely amazing, Unfortunately had a family emergency and couldn’t leave Winston alone, so I booked Winston in a few hours before hand. He’s an anxious boy but was reassured he would be fine and he was was, i had regular updates regarding Winston’s stay and the pictures of him settled on her lap and in her home was so lovely to see. Would definitely be using Nathalie for Winston’s stays going forward. Thank you so much again 🧡🧡”

“Absolutely fantastic could not recommend enough! I felt safe leaving my 14 week old puppy, Albus with Allison. He had an absolutely amazing time. Thank you so so much xx”

“A big big thank you to Paula and John who looked after our cocker spaniel dog Whiskey for a week. I could not be happier with the love and care that he received from both of them and the family also. Truly a home from home for our little lad. Thank you !!!!”

“Oscar had a great time on his visit today with Deborah and her husband. We were all unsure how he’d settle, but after a very short while he had made himself quite at home and he obviously felt very relaxed in their company. I would not hesitate to recommend them as sitters and hopefully I will be using them again in the future.”

“Highly recommend! We had our 10 month old goldendoodle stay with Lucy and her partner for day boarding and she loved it! They went for lovely walks nearby and she was wrecked coming home which was brilliant! Lucy sent loads of photos throughout and looked after molly extremely well. Definitely recommend!”

“Kate recently looked after my dog whilst I was away for work, she is very caring and my dog had a happy stay, she sent me pictures of the walks they went on so I knew he was in safe hands! Her dog Reggie is very friendly and she lives in a quiet and clean home. Thanks Kate, we will book again!”

“I’ve known Samantha for 9 years. She is a true dog person. Having had numerous rescue dogs herself and provided them with a loving and caring home environment, I cannot think of a more suitable person to act as home boarder for all types of dogs. I guarantee that any dog who comes to stay with Samantha will have a safe, secure, fulfilled and entertaining stay. They will love their time with her.”
