Dog Boarding Doveridge

“Upon meeting for the 1st time Droskyn was happy and content. During his stay we received regular pupdates and photographs and was reassured that Droskyn was well . He had plenty of exercise and play and we were 100% happy with the care he received. I would definitely recommend Linda and Rob if your looking for Homeboarding for your dog. Thankyou so much to you both .”

About: I am passionate about giving your pets the best possible experience when you are away from them, providing walks, play time relaxation and affection. I have a wealth of experience with animals of all shapes and sizes, looking after animals for over two decades caring for everything from dogs and cats, small mammals to reptiles, birds, livestock and more. Your pet’s health and wellbeing is my number one priority. I am DBS certified and pet first aid trained. I fit around you. I offer tailored services for all your pet needs to shape around your busy lifestyle and travel plans. I will send you regular photo updates pup-dates so you can relax knowing your fluffiest family member is in safe hands. I am currently not able to have your pets in my own home, however, will make sure your pet is comfortable and well cared for in their own environment. I will make sure they get plenty of enrichment time, including walks, play and affection.

“Having a business function 5 hours from home and needing to find suitable care for our needy French Bulldog was potentially stressful. So glad we found Cathryn and her wonderfully calming approach. She (and her husband) were super accommodating, communicative, helpful, reassuring. Instantly connecting with Merlin when we dropped him off, and sending photos and messages throughout the evening to reassure. When we are in Staffs again and need repeat care, we will be 100% returning to Cathryn. Highly recommended!!”

“I am a returning customer and now Charlotte is Beni's fairy Godmother 🥰🐾, helping me out when I need to be whole day out. Beni truly loves to stay with Charlotte, doesn't stress when I leave and I pick my puppy content and relaxed, with plenty of pictures to enjoy about their day. I cannot recommend Charlotte more for care of your beloved pet when you need.”

“Hannah and her partner did a fantastic job of looking after Mabel for us. She settled in quickly and very much enjoyed all of the attention she received. Communication was superb and we felt very comfortable leaving Mabel with Hannah and Ted, knowing she was being very well looked after. We hope to be able to board Mabel with them again in the near future.”

“Freddie had the perfect stay. It’s always worrying when using someone new but Samantha and her husband was so friendly and asked lots of questions about Freddie which was reassuring that they were making sure they knew things about Freddie to make his stay perfect. The updates were also very much appreciated. The resident dog, Eddie was perfect for Freddie and gave him space. Hopefully Freddie will become a regular visitor as will not hesitate to use Samatha again.”

“Maria and her children looked after Dexter for 3 nights whilst I was away on holiday. Dexter was upset on the first night and Marie’s comforted him to make sure he settled in quickly. Her children were great with him too and I received updates during his stay. Thanks for looking after him so well”

Matthew R.

“Alison is a lovely lady and along with Alan they both obviously love dogs. They sent photos during Rinka's stay, showing her out on walks and snuggled up on the sofa. They were very easy to communicate with. I will definitely be booking Alison again.”

About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them is something I genuinely love. There’s nothing better than seeing a dog relax, feel at home and enjoy themselves while their owners are away. I know how much trust it takes to leave your dog with someone else, so I treat every dog as if they were one of my own. I’ve been around dogs for many years and understand how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your pet. I have always had 1 or 2 dogs in my life since I was born. Currently my partner Angela and I, and our teenage sons have our own friendly 3 year old Labrador, Bailey, who is a much-loved member of our family. As a family, we provide a calm, loving home where dogs are treated like one of our own. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine and needs, so I’ll always take the time to get to know them and follow their normal schedule as closely as possible. Whether they enjoy long walks, shorter strolls, lots of play or simply relaxing with company, I’m happy to adapt to what makes them happiest. I work a few hours each morning from home completing administrative work in my role as a manager of a children’s home, which means I’m around to provide plenty of attention and care throughout the day. This isn’t just something I fit around my day—it’s something I genuinely look forward to. I love seeing dogs settle in, enjoy their walks, then curl up for a nap knowing they feel safe and relaxed. We have a secure, fully fenced garden where your dog will have regular access for toilet breaks, playtime and fresh air. Our own Labrador, Bailey is neutered and enjoys two walks each day. We’re happy to tailor walks to suit your dog’s usual routine and exercise needs. Occasionally, we may take dogs to a secure enclosed dog field so they can safely burn off some extra energy. If this is something you’re happy for your dog to do, we’ll discuss it with you beforehand, including how comfortable they are travelling in the car. We also have a cat, but she prefers to keep herself to herself and stays out of the home or in the conservatory, away from any visiting dogs, so they won’t need to interact. To keep dogs happy and entertained, we have plenty of toys, enrichment activities and even a dog paddling pool for warmer days. We also have a large crate available if your dog is crate trained, so there’s no need to bring your own. If your dog doesn’t use a crate, we’ll happily follow their usual sleeping and daily routine to help them feel safe, settled and right at home. Your dog’s safety and wellbeing are my highest priorities. I know how important it is to leave your pet with someone you trust, so I’ll care for them as if they were one of my own. Our home has a secure, fully fenced garden where dogs can safely play and explore under supervision. Inside, they’ll have a comfortable, relaxed family environment with plenty of company, affection and opportunities to rest. Before every stay, I’ll take the time to get to know your dog’s routine, personality and any specific needs, including feeding, medication, exercise and sleeping arrangements. I’ll follow their usual routine as closely as possible to help them feel settled and at home. I’ll also keep you updated with regular photos and messages, so you can enjoy your time away knowing your dog is safe, happy and well cared for.

“Chester has a fantastic time staying with Josie. We were sent regular updates and Josie was incredibly flexible with arrival and collection times. Chester can’t wait for his next visit! Thanks Josie!”

“Perfect sitters. This is the 2nd time Floki has stayed with hio man and we are very happy. Always keep us updated with photos and how he’s doing. We would not hesitate to send Floki back when we need to. Thank you both 💚”

Dillon C.

“Venetia and Chris were amazing, Roche was very well looked after. Even from the meet and greet to picking him up they listened to all his needs and he really enjoyed his stay there for 8 nights. They already knew a lot about dogs but still did research on his breed to cater for him specifically and gave regular updates on him. We cannot recommend them enough, thanks again.”
