Dog Boarding in Forest Of Dean

“Lisa has been amazing with my Oatly! She made him feel right at home and took such good care of him. It’s always difficult to find someone that can accommodate to his separation anxiety, and she was amazing and always with him. On top of that she has so much patience and understanding when it comes to rescue dogs that can be anxious. Lisa definitely knows what she’s doing when it comes to dogs and you can tell she just loves them all so much. Oatly will be so happy to come back!”

“My dog seemed to enjoy his time with Ruth. The photos and walks of him were lovely to see and he looked relaxed. Will be using Ruth again next time we go away.”

“I would absolutely recommend Georgie and her lovely family to anyone looking for dog sitting or boarding. I was provided daily updates with photos everyday, not a day missed whilst I was away for two weeks and felt completely reassured that my Benji was having a blast! He was taken out on days out, given a lot of love and play time and it was very evident it was a holiday from home for my Benji too! I will definitely be booking with Georgie again soon and couldn’t have asked for a better experience.”

“Our Talula had a great stay! She was extremely well looked after and came home very happy. We had daily updates on the nice time she was having. I'm sure Talula is looking forward to her next stay.”

“I am so grateful to Karen for looking after Millie for me for 2 days. Millie is only 17 months old and can be a little nervous. But Karen is an absolute natural with dogs. She is lively and bubbly and so clearly loves dogs. The moment I met her I knew Millie was in safe hands and would be very happy. I have no hesitation in recommending Karen to anyone looking for dog lodging in the Gloucester area”

“Beans had a wonderful time with Olivia and her lil family ☺️ he was beautifully cared for, played with, walked and cuddled for the whole long weekend! He was a very happy boy when I collected him. Olivia kept me up to date with messages and pictures and was flexible with my timings which was greatly appreciated. I would definitely be happy for Beans to stay again and I know how would be too!”

About: Dogs have always been a big part of my life. Nala and Betty aren’t here as often these days, but I still really value the time I get with them. Whether it’s a steady walk through the woods or a quiet weekend catch-up, it’s always good to have that familiar energy around. Spending time with them is a reminder of why I do what I do at Best of Paws — reliable dog care, where dogs are treated like family. I work from home with a pretty flexible schedule, so I’m around a lot of the time. My girlfriend is a nanny, so she’s usually home by the afternoon. Between the two of us, there’s always someone here to hang out with the dogs and keep things chill. It works out great, especially since we can both give them attention whenever they need it. When I care for pets, whether it’s in their home or mine, it really depends on the dog’s personality and needs. Some dogs might need a bit more quiet time, while others are all about play and adventure. Either way, my focus is always on making sure they’re happy and comfortable. I give them the attention they need—whether it’s playtime, walks, or just cuddles. It’s all about making sure they’re having fun and feeling cared for, no matter where they are.

“Highly recommend Mark and Helen for their fantastic care of my pesky little dogs for ten days. Pre visit was a great idea, they strolled in pre holiday with no qualms!”

“Thank you so much George and mum!! Mine and my daughter's dogs have just come home from a holiday with you, they loved it so much, my puppy didn’t want to come home!!! We had regular updates with photos while we were away to show us how much they were enjoying themselves, and although my husband was convinced they would never have my manic pup back, they said they would be happy to have her again, I’m flabbergasted! She is a live wire and likes to keep people on their toes, but she loved it there with George and his mum!They must’ve been out for a long walk before we picked them up because they slept all the way home! :) We were so pleased with how they were cared for, we will definitely use George again!! Thank you from Tina, Alli, Nancy and Zelda!! X”

“Bellatrix had a fabulous stay. It was our first time using a sitter and all my concerns were alleviated upon first meeting. Rachel and her family made sure Bella’s felt at home and she settled v quickly. Cannot recommend enough”

“Rebecca looked after Bonnie really well. There's not much I can add other than to say that I hope to book Rebecca when we go away later in the year.”

“Rosie had such a lovely time staying with Charlotte. All her needs were met and Charlotte was very thorough in finding out her routine, likes and dislikes. I was kept updated on all her adventures and sent lots of photos/videos of her daily walks. I think Rosie would love to stay again!”

“I was a little nervous about leaving Alfie but Michaela put me at ease straight away. We did a little meet and greet before the weekend and she kept me updated throughout his stay. Alfie has found a new best friend. I will be booking in again.”

“Thank you so much for giving Coco 7 days of fun, adventure, cuddles and happiness. We got daily updates of fun in the sun and fun in the rain. First time leaving Coco for 7 days and so happy it was with you and your beautiful family. Thank you so much for welcoming her into your home. We def will be back again next time we go away.”
