Dog Boarding Doveridge

“Domhnall has just come home after a trial run with Linda. He’s very unhappy in kennels and howls and cries 24x7. It’s such a relief to know he’s with people who understand and care for him so that he feels secure and happy. My only worry is he might not want to come home 😂”

“Charlotte is lovely and made my old girl right at home. She kept me up to date with regular photos and videos which gave us piece of mind whilst we were away. She is in a lovely location and we will definitely use her services again.”

“Dave and Jo provided excellent care to our Standard Poodle, Jeff. We received lots of photos, videos and texts keeping us updated and easing our concern of leaving him for the first time. Jeff came home very happy, and we will definitely book their care again. Brilliant carers.”

“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!!”

“We couldn’t have asked for better dog sitters for Hazel. From the moment we left her, we felt completely at ease knowing she was in such caring, loving, and capable hands. Hazel was clearly happy, relaxed, and well looked after during her three-night stay, which says everything. We received great updates and could tell she was treated like part of the family. Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of her — we wouldn’t hesitate to book again and highly recommend you to anyone looking for truly caring dog sitters.”

About: I have over 10 years of experience caring for and looking after dogs of all different breeds, sizes and personalities. Over the years, I have gained a great understanding of the responsibility, patience and dedication that comes with caring for dogs and making sure they are happy, healthy and well looked after. At one point, I owned 4 dogs which taught me how to manage different needs, personalities and routines while making sure each dog received plenty of individual attention and care. I have also experienced the very special responsibility of having a female dog give birth to a litter of six puppies. One particularly memorable experience of this was when one of the puppies stopped breathing and I had to act quickly and provide mouth-to-mouth resuscitation to help save its life. Thankfully, the puppy survived, he was a 12 year old toy poodle, still with us living with my mum. This experience showed me just how important it is to remain calm, attentive and prepared when caring for animals. My 10 years of experience have given me a genuine passion for dogs and a strong understanding of how much care, attention and love they need. I take pride in treating every dog as an individual and making sure they feel safe, comfortable and cared for while in my responsibility. I have also been actively training my dog I own with the help of my friend who is a behaviorist. My dog once had issues with resource guarding and lead pulling, both of which is now under control. I’m available to provide your dog with plenty of care, attention and company throughout the day. I’m happy to work around your dog’s normal routine, including their usual feeding, walking, play and rest times. I understand that keeping a familiar routine can help dogs settle, especially when they are staying away from home. I’ll make sure they receive lots of attention and regular care while you’re away. I have a spacious, secure garden and a comfortable home where dogs can relax and feel at ease. I have a friendly 16-month-old Cockapoo who is used to being around other dogs. I always take each dog’s individual personality and preferences into consideration, and introductions can be done gradually and carefully. If your dog prefers their own space, I can also provide separate areas and make sure they have a calm environment where they can settle comfortably.

“I could not recommend Dina and her little dog Daisy enough ☺️ We did a meet and greet prior to my holiday just to make sure the dogs would get on ok. I knew there would be no issues and was more than happy for my dog to be looked after by Dina. Dina kept me updated with photos throughout the week and I could tell my dog was having a lovely time and was very happy with her surroundings. My dog is 15 so can have days where she’s a little more tired than others but everything was accommodated. A perfect little holiday for my pooch ☺️ 🐾”

“Coco has been very well looked after by Calley and her family, she’s really enjoyed her stay with them. I love that I was updated every single day with a message and photos which really put me at ease. We’ve never left her with anyone before and I 100% recommend this sitter to anyone. A very loving family who love dogs and treat them as their own. I would give 10 stars if I could. Thank you so much 😊👍🏼🐶🐾 ⭐”

“Tara looked after our French Bulldog Winston in her home. She cared for him as if he were her own dog and made him part of the family. I couldn’t have asked for more. She sent me pictures and messages to keep me updated and I would definitely recommend her”

“Fergus had the best stay!! Venetia and Chris were lovely hosts for Fergus, very accommodating and love the company of dogs. Fergus has lovely long walks, played fetch and chilled in front of the fire. Will definitely be using them again in the future!”

“Charlotte and Dan took such great care of my very energetic dog Pickle. She clearly thrived in their care and felt right at home in their cosy space. Thank you Charlotte and Dan, we will be sure to use you again in the future.”

“Dougie went very well with Calli, Richard, Kiki and Rupert on the trial we've had last night and we are very pleased. We've had updates and video with Dougie settling in as new boarding place for him. We have booked another week in February and looking forward for our friend to spend more time there when we are away. Thank you so much for everything.”

About: I have several years of hands\-on experience caring for dogs and currently run my own dog walking and pet care business\. I regularly provide dog walks, home visits and pet sitting, caring for dogs with a range of personalities, ages and needs\. I have experience caring for dogs in my own home and understand how important it is for owners to feel confident that their pets are safe, happy and well cared for while they are away\. I take the time to get to know each dog individually and make sure their routine, personality and specific needs are respected\. I am reliable, responsible and genuinely passionate about animals\. I also have extensive experience working with horses, which has given me a strong understanding of animal behaviour, handling, safety and providing high standards of care\. I have my own dog and am also a mum, so I understand the importance of providing a safe, caring and comfortable environment for every pet in my care. I work mornings, so I am generally available for dog walking, drop-ins and pet care from around 1pm onwards. I have some flexibility depending on the day and can discuss specific requirements in advance. I’m happy to work around your dog’s usual routine where possible and will always make sure they receive the time, attention and care they need. I offer a loving, safe and comfortable home-from-home environment for dogs staying with me. I have my own friendly dog, so I always arrange a meet-and-greet beforehand to make sure the dogs are comfortable together. I treat every dog as part of the family and will follow their usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime and plenty of cuddles. I also have a 6-year-old son, so I only take dogs who are suitable for a family home. Your dog will receive plenty of attention and won’t simply be left on their own for long periods. I’ll keep you updated during their stay with photos and messages so you can relax knowing they’re happy and well cared for.

“Jas and Tasha looked after both of my dogs for a week. They cared for both of them well and kept in contact with me to keep my updated on how they had settled in. Will certainly be using them again to look after both of my girls - thanks ladies 😊”

“I was unsure at first as never left jet with anyone, but simona was great with jet and her daughter played and bonded with her too. I was sent photos of walks/relaxed which was great as I worried she wouldn't settle, they must of loved having her there and treated her excellent in order for her to settle in. Will use again and 100% recommend”
