Dog Boarding Eye

About: We have always had a dog in our lives until recently. I am retired so I’m home all day so able to provide all the care and attention that your dog requires. We have a fully enclosed garden and also have some lovely places to walk. While you’re away, we offer your dog a holiday of their own, a real home from home. We’ll send regular photos to assure you that they are safe and happy, so that you can enjoy your time away.Apart from overnight boarding we also offer doggy day care. I’m retired so at home to take care of your dog’s every needs. We’re able to adjust our activities to accommodate your pet without too much trouble. We live in a bungalow so no stairs to contend with. Fully enclosed rear garden. It’s a real home from home for your precious pet.

They supported our routines as well as including her in their family life. He sent regular updates and the meet and greet beforehand was really beneficial and made us feel really comfortable that she would be well cared for. A very experienced family who looked after our Issy really well.10/10 would recommend.”

By the time we picked him up he seemed very relaxed and comfortable with them. We wont hesitate to book with Emma again in the future and will be confident that Inigo will be happy and well looked after.”

“Kobe had such a wonderful stay with Mat and his family. Prior to boarding we arranged a pre-stay meeting which was great and really helpful, from that initial meeting I knew Kobe would be very well looked after. Throughout his stay Mat kept us updated with Kobe's progress and sent lots of pictures which was so lovely. Would definitely recommend and will definitely be using Mat again for boarding, so long as the crazy pup is welcome ??. Thank you all so much for looking after our boy.”

About: Lifelong dog lover with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds and personalities. I've looked after many happy Rover guests with my husband and am now welcoming them through my own profile. Your dog will enjoy a loving home, plenty of attention, and over 2 acres of fully fenced, secure garden to explore and play safely. I work from home, so your dog will rarely be left alone and will always have company throughout the day. I have a large, comfortable home with air conditioning for hot summer days, plus over 2 acres of fully fenced, secure garden where dogs can safely run, play, explore, or simply relax. I tailor the day to each dog's energy level and routine, making sure they feel safe, happy, and at home. Your dog's safety, comfort, and routine are our top priorities. I have a friendly 9-year-old Labrador who loves the company of other dogs and gets on well with canine visitors. I follow your dog's usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any medication if required. I'm also happy to accommodate their preferred sleeping arrangements—whether that's in our bedroom, their own bed, another room, or a crate—so they feel as relaxed and at home as possible.

About: I have been around dogs my entire life quite literally, my first present as a newborn straight out of hospital was a gorgeous black ball of fur aka Tyson a German shepherd puppy and from that day on we were inseparable…. Needless to say now gsd’s are my favorite breed and will always be my favorite butttt and that’s a very big but all dogs of all shapes and sizes hold a special place in my heart. I get on with dogs better then I do humans forming special bonds and an instant attachment to any dog I lay eyes on. I can’t go anywhere without stopping whoever has a dog and asking them if I can make a fuss of them so I thought I would put this love or obsession whatever you like to call it to good use and help others and welcome your dogs into my home where they will be loved like my own and part of our pack… I am currently a stay at home mum who is looking for an extra income to contribute more to my household and my family? So I have availability pretty much all day every day from 10 AM up until 2 o’clock I am free and from 4:30 till whenever you need I am free. I will have my children with me if you are happy with that I have a baby and a toddler that don’t go to school yet if it’s at the weekend, then I will be Child free. This does not affect my ability to do my job as I have pets myself and I look after them with my children. If your dogs are other dog friendly, I’m happy for your dogs to join us, if not that’s ok too I can take them separately. I have two dogs myself who are more than happy to keep your dogs company. I can crate your dog for safety, If it is needed I have a garden and children that would love to play with your dogs if your dogs are at my home or you are happy for my children to play with your dogs then my toddler is more than happy to if my other two are at school. I have plenty of fans in my house for this hot weather and they are on all the time. If your dog is at my home, there is freshwater everywhere in my home. I have no rules in my house for dogs, being toilet trained is preferred but if your dog is old incontinent or still a puppy, it is absolutely fine. I have hardwood floors and dogs have accidents happen. It’s easily cleaned up. Your dog will be more than at home here they’ll be allowed up on the sofas in our garden.

“Lloyd was so communicative and Rory had a great time with him and Hudson! Lots of walks to open fields and she came home happy and tuckered out! So so happy with Rory’s care during her time with Lloyd.”
