Pet Boarding Fairlop

“Siobhan and Nick, thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of Teddy. I was kept updated throughout his stay and received photos every day, which gave me great peace of mind. Teddy is a very picky eater, but Siobhan went above and beyond by buying different foods to find something he would enjoy. Teddy came home happy, and so did I. I highly recommend them and would gladly leave Teddy in their care again.”

“Mango was with Taffany (Siu Yung) for 2 days and she took excellent care of him. She took him for walks through out the day and kept us informed with regular updates with pictures and mesages. She took him out during the rain as well and blow dried him. One could only imagine if someone can be so loving and caring. Taffany and her family kept Mango super happy during his stay. Mango came back super happy after the stay. I would definitely recommend Taffany to anyone and everyone and looking forward for another stay in the future. Thank you so much for taking such a good care of Mango. Much appreciated 🙏”

About: I love dogs and have taken care of several since the age of 13 ☺️ Neighbours and family friends have highlighted my affinity with dogs in addition to my caring nature towards them. I’ve worked in healthcare for over 3 years so caretaking comes natural to me. I generally like taking walks on a daily basis to get some fresh air but a walk is always better with company from furry friends! Whether it’s a walk, or dog-sitting, I will provide you with regular updates for your own reassurance and will make sure to follow your pet’s daily routine to create a sense of comfort, security and safety for them. I have a dog of my own who is 5 years old and is socially positive with other dogs, but if this may create any issues on your side please don’t hesitate to let me know so I can make arrangements! I’m currently working remotely so taking care of pets and/or dog-walking fits perfectly into my schedule. Let me know your pet’s needs and I’ll make sure to follow its usual routine to ensure a sense of security, care and safety. Please note I will provide regular updates to you during our time together to ensure your pet’s safety and for your own reassurance 😊 I have a friendly fenced garden so we can play there together, as well as a dog of my own to keep your furry friend company. I have essentials of my own to care for your dog at your home if needed - toys, food, potty bags, leashes. Let me know if the prospect of having my dog with your own will raise any potential concerns and I’ll make arrangements😊

About: I have owned 3 male Boxers and taken care of a range of dogs including Belgian Shepherds, Turkish Mountain Dogs, Dobermans and Jack Russells. My partner has owned many dogs including Alsatians, Spaniels, Dalmations, and Basset Hounds. We are both comfortable with the the larger breeds as well as the smaller breeds. I work from home half the week and on the days where I am in the office there is always a member of the household home and we liaise to ensure that any dog in our care, if ever left home alone, is only for a very short period of time. I am available 7 days a week, all year round, for short and long term stays. I offer a loving, peaceful home from home experience for dogs of all sizes. Because I believe every dog deserves absolute comfort and undivided attention, I only ever host from one guest household at a time. Your dog will live as a member of the family, sleeping inside, relaxing on the sofa, and enjoying a stress free environment with no other guest pets or crates. My garden is secure and backs onto Epping Forest which is where your dog will enjoy their daily walks. Whether your dog loves long sniffy walks, playing with sticks or balls or just wants to curl up next to me while I work, their routine will be followed exactly. I also have personal experience of following a medical routine to the letter and would be comfortable doing this for your dog.

“I’ve now done a few overnight bookings with Katherine. Judging from the photos she sends me it seems Vali is very happy in her company & makes herself at home when she stays! Thanks!”

“Viktoriia looked after our Cockapoo, Cosmo, for 3 nights recently when we went away for the weekend. She was absolutely lovely and looked after Cosmo really well. She sent us a video each day and Cosmo looked so happy and relaxed. I'll definitely be asking Viktoriia to look after Cosmo again the next time we need doggy care.”

“Very happy with our dog DeDe's stay with Nicola, Nicola is very kind and caring and gave regular feedback during our dogs stay with her, would highly recommend”

About: I’m an experienced dog owner who truly understands the routines and care dogs need. What makes my service unique is the combination of exceptional outdoor space (Wanstead Flats is right on my doorstep for long walks and play), flexible working arrangements (if desired, I can take your dog to my office for company throughout the day), and a well-socialised, friendly dog who loves meeting new friends. Your dog won’t just be looked after - they’ll be genuinely engaged and enriched. Whether it’s exploring the extensive open spaces of the Flats, enjoying a calm day at the office, or having a canine companion for socialisation, I can provide a proper home-from-home experience. I’m happy to maintain any specific routines, dietary requirements, or training approaches you’ve established. I treat every dog in my care as I treat my own: with patience, attention, and plenty of affection. I work full time but have flexible arrangements. I typically work from home on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, and I’m able to take dogs to the office with me on other days if they’d enjoy the different environment and socialisation. This means your dog will have company and attention throughout the day, every day, rather than being left alone. I’m available for boarding on weekends and evenings. Your dog will be treated as part of my household. I have one friendly, well-socialised dog who’s excellent with other dogs and provides gentle companionship. My home is secure and I’m experienced in managing different dogs’ needs, whether that’s separate feeding times, crate training, or giving space to dogs who prefer their own company. I’ll always follow your instructions on walking routines, including whether your dog should be on or off lead.

“Excellent sitter, great communication. Thomas came to meet our dog before the first booking, he offered pick up and drop off, sent regular updates and looked after him really well. Highly recommended.”

“Ella and Ed have been a pleasure in boarding my River. River is an energetic, fun loving and affectionate staffy who can be a handful sometimes but took to Ella and Ed immediately! I was sent photos and communicated with daily and River loved the attention! She has come home knackered which is a good sign she had a blast. I definitely recommend, and defintely will be booking again. 5 stars across the board from me and River!”

About: My main hands on experience is with cats (I had my own cat for 3 years), so I’m very confident with feeding, litter routines, play, and understanding cat body language. With dogs, while I haven’t owned one personally, I’ve spent a lot of time around friends’ dogs and I’m comfortable with friendly dogs, basic lead handling, and following your routine exactly as you prefer. Experience • Cats: 3 years of daily care with my own cat (feeding, playtime, litter routine, companionship) • Dogs: Comfortable around dogs through friends’ dogs, confident handling friendly dogs and following owner routines • My style: Calm, patient, routines first, lots of attention to comfort and safety I work remotely which gives me a flexible routine. I can take pets out for regular toilet breaks and walks during the day and I’m only a short walk from Roding Valley Lakes for regular outings. I’m happy to follow your pet’s usual schedule as closely as possible. I can provide in home care and manage multi pet bookings safely. With two rooms available, I can separate pets when needed (for stress free settling, feeding, or rest), and I’m happy to do individual walks and follow each pet’s routine closely, adjusting to their behaviour, mood, and energy level. My garden isn’t fully fenced, so any outdoor time at home is always supervised and on lead. I’m also only around 5 minutes from Roding Valley Lakes, which is perfect for regular, calm walks and outdoor breaks. For walks, I keep things safe and structured, and I follow your rules on lead use, walking routes, and greetings with other dogs. I’m happy to start with shorter walks while I learn your dog’s routine. For everyone’s safety, I ask that pets are up to date on flea/worm treatment and that you tell me about any medical needs, separation anxiety, or lead reactivity. I only do off-lead time if you’ve confirmed reliable recall and we’ve agreed suitable locations. I’m happy to do a meet-and-greet. Please share any important details like feeding instructions, quirks, and any medical needs. For dogs, I prefer a meet and greet before the first walk, and I keep dogs on lead unless you’ve confirmed reliable recall and we’ve agreed on suitable locations.

“Our cat Ellie stayed with Heidi & Conor for the second time and once again everything was perfect. She was loved & thoroughly taken care of. We got frequent updates & pictures and Ellie loves staying with them, I know she misses them already! I will only book with them in the future. Highly recommend as reliable & responsible sitters!”

About: I've had dogs all my life, and in our home they're treated like family, never just pets. I've completed a number of dog training courses with my own two, and teaching and playing with them is honestly one of my favourite things. Your dog's routine is in good hands here. We do two walks a day, with free access to a fully enclosed garden whenever they fancy some fresh air. We mostly work from home, so someone is always around, your pup won't be left on their own. Day to day, I'm happy to keep up with brushing, toothbrushing, and giving any medication your dog needs. Your dog is welcome anywhere in the house, with a safe, cosy spot to sleep and relax. I've also done crate training, and I can adjust our schedule and setup to suit whatever your dog is used to, just let me know what works for them and I'll make it happen. A typical day here Morning - We're early risers, so the day usually starts with a morning walk to stretch legs and get some fresh air. Back home for breakfast (and any morning medication), followed by a bit of brushing and a toothbrush. Daytime - Since we mostly work from home, your dog won't be clock-watching for the next bit of company. They're free to potter in and out of the enclosed garden, settle in their safe spot, or join us for some play, training games, and cuddles throughout the day. There's always someone around. Afternoon/Evening - A second, longer walk to properly tire them out, then dinner and any evening medication. Wind-down time in the evening with a comfy place to relax and sleep, whether that's curled up in the house or settled in a crate, whatever your dog is used to. Throughout - Fresh water always available, plenty of check-ins, and a flexible routine that bends to fit your dog rather than the other way around. If your pup has a set feeding, walking, or nap schedule, just share it and we'll keep things consistent for them. We're in a house with a fully enclosed, grassy garden that dogs can access freely throughout the day, a safe, secure space to play, sunbathe, or just sniff about without any worries about escaping. Inside, your dog is welcome anywhere and will always have a safe, quiet spot to retreat to when they want to rest. With someone home most of the time, there's constant supervision, so any little issues get spotted early. We're comfortable managing medication, keeping to feeding routines, and adapting the space, to whatever makes your dog feel most secure. Whether your pup is bold and bouncy or a little more nervous, we'll make sure they feel settled, safe, and right at home from the moment they arrive. We also understand that leaving your dog somewhere can be a little daunting and we will provide daily updates to tell you about their stay.
