Dog Boarding Forest Heath

“Alex is very quick with replies when booking, and all is booked quickly. As before Misty enjoyed her stay and comes back exhausted. Alex keeps us reassured with updates and photos which gives us peace of mind. Misty is looking forward to her stay on November, I really dont think she would be happy anywhere else. Thank you Alix.”

“We decided on a last minute trip out of the country. Anna worked with us every step of the way and made sure we were always in the know with our girl. She would send daily updates and photos. It was a peace of mind while we were away to know our dog was being loved and cared for by such a lovely family. Will use Anna again for boarding in the future.”

“Freya did a fantastic job of boarding my Pointer for three nights, he came home well exercised and tired out yet settled back in at home in no time at all. I received regular picture updates from Freya and I could see Hudson was having fun in a safe environment with Freya who is obviously very experienced with dogs of all sizes and Hudson loves her naturally energetic confident manner. All in all I’m very glad to have found Freya.”

“First time leaving reggie with anyone new. Sharon was amazing, meeting a few days before the booking to start his introduction and put my mind at ease. She looked after him well, providing regular updates and clear open communication through his visit. 100% would use again. Such a lovely person with a great area to care for my buddy ensuring lots of attention and outside time. Thanks Sharon!”

“Katy and her partner were absolutely fantastic with Ella, who had a lovely time with lots of walks, ball throwing and cuddles. We received regular updates with a great video and would highly recommend Katy. Ella is already looking forward to her next visit and thank you once again! Marea & Ella x”

“Muttley was very happy to stay with Tatyana (and her son who gave him lots of cuddles). She updated me each day and made sure Muttley had plenty of activity and fun.”

Anna G.

“Sasha and her partner Hayden were amazing right from when I reached out to book the stay. They came to meet me for coffee so I could ask all my questions and put my mind totally at ease. Sasha sent us lots of messages over the stay with updates and pictures of Hugo which was lovely. Hugo felt very at home with them as even when I came to pick him up he was still trying to play with them. It was very obvious that Hugo has an amazing time and we will definitely call Sasha next time we go away!”

“Issy had a wonderful time with Shaun and his family.he was excellent with our energetic Staffie and we were really confident leaving her with him. 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.”

About: I have grown up surrounded by dogs and have always had a very special bond with them. My own dogs are currently in Ukraine, so I miss having dogs around me every day and would absolutely love the opportunity to spend more time with them here in the UK. I’m a very caring, responsible and attentive person, and I always make sure every dog feels safe, comfortable and loved. I’m happy to adapt to each dog’s individual routine, personality and needs, whether that means long walks, playtime, cuddles, feeding or simply keeping them company. I’m also happy to reinforce basic training and follow any routines or instructions you already use at home. Most importantly, I will treat every dog with patience, kindness and respect, and make sure they receive the very best care while they’re with me. 🐾 I attend university twice a week for half-days and don’t have another job, so I have plenty of free time to dedicate to pets. I live with my partner, who is usually at work during the day, so I can give dogs my full attention and company. I’m close to beautiful parks, fields and popular dog-walking areas, and I’m happy to travel up to an hour by public transport when needed. I would love to make pet care a meaningful part of my everyday routine and give each dog plenty of walks, attention, playtime and affection. I grew up with dogs and was very involved in their everyday care. I regularly groomed them, followed feeding schedules, gave basic medication when needed and carefully looked after their health. One of my dogs had allergies, so I was responsible for choosing suitable food and making sure she was fed only at the right times. We spent lots of time outdoors, going on long walks and exploring together. I loved taking my dogs with me wherever possible, even when meeting friends for coffee, because they were a big part of my everyday life. I’ve always paid close attention to their behaviour and understand when a dog needs exercise, affection, space or simply a quiet, comfortable environment. My goal is always for every dog to feel safe, loved and genuinely cared for.

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.

“Beatrice and James took good care of our hairy son for a week. He is a rescue dog and this was our first time leaving him with non-family but we needn't have worried. We received photos throughout the week and he was obviously enjoying his own mini break. I would have no hesitation recommending Beatrice as a dog sitter to anyone.”

“Another fantastic extended stay with Maria for Nala! Nala is always so excited when we arrive at Maria’s, and from all the photos and updates, it’s clear how happy, relaxed, and loved she is, and how much fun she’s having too. As difficult as it is to leave her when I go away, it’s incredibly reassuring knowing she’s having the best time and being so well cared for 💕”

“Aimee was a great sitter for our dog! She played with her and took her on walks in the day and the evening. She sent us photos of our dog throughout the day. Aimee was flexible with our pickup time which was so helpful.”

About: Having either coveted or owned pets since childhood, and recently experienced my daughter hosting dogs in our family home before flying the nest on her next big adventure, I’ve decided to take over the family business. Yes, I know inheritance does not usually work this way but, hey, hosting your fur balls has been such a joy, and I have such a perfect space here, why not? Familiar with separation anxiety, medication administration, and all that comes with family pets. Very fond of long walks. Well aware from personal experience how daunting it can be to leave your pets in someone else’s care, and totally committed to ensuring their comfort and safety. Rest assured your pets will be well cared for - and lots of cute photos and updates will be sent. I’m self employed and work from home. My dog, Mo, and cat Gem, are well socialised and happy to accept well behaved comrades into their space. I have a big, secure fenced garden with lots of room to run around, and a comfortable living space where pets are welcome, including on the sofas. I’m respectful of other people’s needs and spaces, whether I’m visiting your home, or your pets are visiting mine, I’ll make sure their - and your - needs are met. Expect lots of photos - and possibly a short story, or poem from your pet.

“Throughout my dog’s stay, I received regular updates with photos, which gave me peace of mind knowing my furry friend was happy and well cared for. Highly recommended!”
