Pet Boarding Emneth

About: I have had animals all my life. I have a genuine love of taking care of them. I have experience with Dogs, Cats, Guinea Pigs and horses. I currently own two dogs, a cat, Guinea pigs and two ponies. I have worked with animals most of my life. I worked for the animal charity Wood Green Animal Shelter on field section, worked at a dog kennels, cattery and also worked in the hospitality industry. I have a clean driving licence. I have good knowledge of taking care of a variety of animals which has given me the experience and knowledge needed. I love the psychology of animals and understanding their body language. I am a single mum of three daughters. Two go to work and one is disabled and goes to a fantastic school in Alconbury near Huntingdon. So im at home alone a lot. I have been looking for a job that can is flexible and active but also to do something I love and have experience doing. I have a lot of free so this type of work suits me down to the ground. My home has a big garden that is fully fenced all the way round. I have tiled floors indoors which is easy cleaning. My house is open plan but I do have a utility room for a quiet place.

“Susie was great and fully recommended”

“This was the first time I’ve left my puppy overnight and I was apprehensive. Linda calmed me on our initial meeting and when it came to leaving her. She kept me updated and sent lovely photos. Paisley was extremely well cared for and spoilt with attention. I would certainly ask Linda to look after Paisley again and would highly recommend her to all.”

“Jasper had a great time with Jodie and James on his first day care. They both were fantastic and gave him time and space to settle in nicely. It’s like „home away from home” experience for furry friends with safe and fun environment. So happy we’ve found someone we can trust and go on holidays with a peace of mind, knowing that our Jasper is well looked after. Thank you Jodie & James, until the next time!”

“Carla and Jim looked after our 6 month old puppy for the weekend and we couldn’t have been happier with the love and care our Betsy received. We had lots of pupdates with pictures and could see our fur baby was really cared for. We will definitely be using these lovely people again and would highly recommend them.”

“Julie provided such amazing care for our 6 month old Doberman pup Jax. From the first enquiry she was very responsive, organised and really friendly… she didn’t let his size or energy phase her and he had such a lovely weekend with Julie and her family. It was his first time away and Julie kept us updated each day with texts and photos which was great. When we collected Jax I could see how happy he was and how much not only Julie but her whole family had cared for him. Thank you so much.”

Samantha J.

“Absolutely perfect! Janet and Bruce looked after our Peggy for a long weekend. She thoroughly enjoyed her stay. We shall definitely rebook. Big thank you!”

Neil L.

“We left our two dogs (terrier & lab) with Laura over the bank holiday weekend and she was great. Laura met us beforehand so we could be sure everything would be ok. Laura was also able to give our dog his medication at short notice which he had to have following recent surgery. The dogs came back happy and very relaxed so we know they were well looked after. Lovely person, great service and would def book again. Thanks again”

“Eva was absolutely amazing with Luna! From the moment we met her, it was clear how much she genuinely cares about animals. She kept us updated throughout the stay with photos and messages, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Luna can be a little particular about her routine, but Eva followed all of our instructions perfectly and treated her like she was part of her own family. When I picked Luna up, she was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. It was obvious that she received plenty of love, attention, playtime, and cuddles during her stay. Finding someone you trust with your dog is priceless, and Eva exceeded every expectation. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. I would recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and professional dog sitter. Luna can’t wait for her next stay with Eva! Thank you again, Eva, for taking such wonderful care of my girl!”

About: I first became a "dog Mum" 15 years ago to our Westie, Elland, who sadly we lost recently. I sadly was that annoying "Dog Mum" who had pictures of her on my desk and booked holiday for her birthday each year. I took voluntary redundancy nearly 6 years ago so have been fortunate to spend quality time at home with her and take her out and about on our own or with her other doggy friends. Unfortunately she lost her hearing about 3 years ago so learnt quickly how to communicate with her with some basic sign language. She also developed dry eye disease so I had to administer drops 5 times each day. Two of these were determined by time so I had to ensure I was available to give her these on time. The last 5 months of her life, her arthritis worsened so I bought a buggy to help her whilst out for daily walks/sniffs. I have also looked after family dogs whilst they have been on holiday and have accomodated raw feeding for one of family dogs. I live with my husband in a bungalow. He still works but is here in the evenings and at weekends. I work during examination periods at a local college but can accomodate pet sitting around this as dates are known well in advance. My contract with the college is ona casual basis so dog sitting will be my priority. We have used a local dog sitter who stayed in our home when we went on holiday. I therefore understand the importance of providing important information to the pet sitter when leaving the pet. When I first stopped working I volunteered for a local hospice helping support a family who used their services, by walking their dog on a weekly basis to give them some respite and also encourage the dog to socilise. I did this for 12 months. I also volunteered at Wood Green Animal Charity during Covid restrictions. Although I was there to help in the fundraising office, we often had dogs who weren't settling in kennels, come and sit with us in the office for the day. Some were quite withdrawn so I learnt how to slowly gain their trust. I am retired so home all day. My husband works full time but is home in the evenings and at weekends. I do some casual exam invigilating but I know dates for this in advance so will not take on any work if pet sitting is booked. I am happy to be led by the owners on when and what activity their dog (s) are used to so am pretty flexible. I have acess to my own car so can take the dog to any appointments if required. I have a fully fenced in garden (6ft) I live in a village with lots of access to quiet walks in the countryside if required, as well as walks within the village itself. I am happy to book out local secure dog fields if agreed with the owner but this will involve driving to nearby fields. As previously mentioned we live in a bungalow so no stairs. We are based in a quiet cul-de-sac so if your dog is reactive to traffic, should not be a problm here. I have space for a medium size crate if required.

“Harvey was very friendly and maintained contact regularly. He looked after our dog Sparkles really well and she settled well with him. He was brilliant and I would definitely recommend him and ask him to have our dog again. Thank you Harvey and Roger (his Labrador)”

About: I’ve lived with and looked after many pets, including dogs, cats, rabbits and other small animals. I regularly look after my friends dogs, cats and other small pets. I have a passion for dogs and although I don’t currently have my own I regularly walk dogs daily with friends and/or family. I’ve helped train puppies and also spent time caring for elder dogs. I currently work for a company that produces smart devices for pets so I am very familiar with animals and the wants and needs required to look after them and their welfare. I work fully remote for a pet device company and regularly spend my spare time with my friends and families pets. I’m active and love walking, I have completed the Camino de Santiago and enjoyed every step. Although I don’t currently have a pet of my own I have pet beds, bowls and other toys etc as I regularly look after dogs at my house. I make sure my house is pet friendly and love to get to know every animal I pet sit. A part of forming a bond and making sure they are cared for is understanding the behaviours and habits they already have and keeping as routine as you can to keep them safe and happy. I’ve regularly pet sat at friends homes and always treat their animals and homes with love and care.

“Ayse was so helpful to us this weekend, and our dog was clearly well-looked-after and had the best time. Thank you so, so much, and we’ll definitely be coming back to Ayse in the future.”

“Christina and family were fantastic with our puppy. The updates and messages were a huge help to us while we were away. Total care, love and attention given which meant we were fully confident and relaxed knowing our puppy was in safe hands. Milly had a wonderful time and we will definitely be revisiting. Thank you so so much Christina.”

“Janet had a lovely home to take care of Lobo in. She was relaxed and friendly and Lobo who can be nervous when we leave her, was happy to be there. Janet took her plenty walks and took good care of her. Would definitely use Janet again.”

Suzanne M.

“Daisy had a great weekend with Tom. We were a little apprehensive as she's so timid but she settled right in so we knew she was well looked after. Tom kept in touch with updates and photos which was great. We're definitely happy to use Tom again.”

Hayley M.

“Maddy was absolutely amazing with Money. She took such great care of him and treated him as if he were her own. She was attentive, caring, and made sure Money was comfortable, happy, and well looked after throughout his stay. I really appreciated the regular updates and the care and attention she gave him. It was clear that Money was in safe and loving hands, and I could see how happy and settled he was. I would definitely recommend Maddy to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and reliable to look after their dog. I wouldn’t hesitate to use her again. Thank you so much, Maddy, for taking such wonderful care of Money”
