Dog Boarding Hartford

“Nicola was very nice and I was sent some videos and pictures during the stay to keep me updated. I would recommend her and will be using her again to mind Sam in the future.”

“Lola had a wonderful stay with Elina and her adorable dogs Simba and Mowgli. She settled in very quickly, which gave me great peace of mind from the start. Elina clearly has a natural way with dogs and made Lola feel comfortable and safe. Throughout the stay, Elina provided regular updates at least twice a day, including photos and videos, which I really appreciated. It was so reassuring to see how happy and relaxed Lola was. Elina also made sure Lola had regular walks and plenty of exercise, keeping her active and happy during her stay. My little Lola was very well looked after and genuinely cared for. I wouldn’t hesitate to leave her with Elina again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive dog sitter.”

“Lauren was absolutely amazing with our 10-month-old Cockapoo, Max. We booked a last-minute holiday and were so lucky to find Lauren, who was available to look after our boy. She sent us lots of photos and videos throughout his stay, keeping us updated on what he was up to, which really reassured me that he was happy, settled and being well looked after. In fact, for a minute I thought he was having so much fun with Lauren’s dog, Ivy, that Max wouldn’t want to come home! 😃 Lauren clearly has lots of experience with dogs and is such a warm, friendly person. I would have absolutely no hesitation in using her again and would highly recommend her to all my friends and family. Thank you so much, Lauren, for taking such wonderful care of Max. 😊❤️”

About: We’ve been caring for our neighbours’ dogs for the past few years, as well as looking after friends’ and family members’ cats. We’ve both grown up with pets and have experience having cats and dogs of our own. We understand how important it is to leave your pets with someone you can trust. We’re caring, reliable and attentive, and we’ll make sure your pets receive plenty of love, attention and care while you’re away. 🐶🐾 I work from home 3 days a week, so on those days I’ll be able to take your dog for regular walks and give them plenty of attention throughout the day. Sam has four days off during the week so on the days I am in the office, he’ll be home and able to give your pet his full attention, including walks, playtime and companionship. Between the two of us, your pet will have someone around most days and won’t be left alone for long periods. We’re also happy to provide boarding, so we can offer a flexible and comfortable home environment for your pet when needed. We have a safe, comfortable and pet friendly home with a secure garden, providing a great environment for your to relax and enjoy themselves. We are both attentive, and will make sure your pet receives regular walks, exercise, attention and plenty of affection. With our work schedules, someone will be around to keep your pet company and ensure they are not left alone for long periods.

“Colin had a great time. It was the first visit to a new minder and Annchalee and Will were lovely. We received picture updates with messages to let us know how Colin was and we could not have asked for a better experience for him. Thank you both.”

“We would definitely recommend pauline! And we’ve already booked our doggie in again! Pauline kept us up to date with sully’s time away. She has been easy to reach throughout the booking process. If your looking for a loving home where your beloved pet will have all the attention they need then I would definitely book with Pauline! We’re so happy we’ve found her!”

“My two dogs were looked after by Vicky while I went on holiday abroad. She sent regular updates and photos, giving me reassurance that they were doing well. They were looked after to a very high standard, she took onboard all of the notes that I left for their well-being, she walked them both regularly and treated them like they were her own. I would not hesitate to recommend Vicky as a pet sitter, after my experience with her.”

About: Had a border collie for 13 years, missing having the companionship but can’t commit to having my own whilst in full time work. Adore having them around, and getting out on walks. A qualified teacher, so can offer services during school holidays. I’m currently a teacher who has weekends free, starting from Friday evenings to Sunday evenings and school holidays when needed. Can’t commit to during the week as I work Monday to Friday 7:30-5:30 I have a fenced garden, with enough space for a dog to have a run around. Lots of lovely walks near by to take them on.

“Charlotte was the most amazing sitter. Lola settled extremely well. We had updates regularly on her walks and chill time. Would highly recommend Charlotte. Thank you for looking after our Princess she very much enjoyed her stay xxxx”

Paul S.

“Great sitter, looked after my nervous Romanian rescue, Gracie. She settled well, won’t hesitate to recommend and will their use services again 😊”

Julia C.

“I would highly recommend Jess! She is an excellent dog sitter! This was the first time I had ever left my dog with a sitter and I was anxious about it as my dog can get quite upset when left even with family members 😞 We had a family wedding to go to and were going to be out for a long time but Jess put my mind at ease! Jess came over to meet us a few weeks beforehand and my dog seemed to take to her right away! During the sit Jess stayed in touch with me sending messages and pictures and i could tell that my dog was calm and happy and relaxed! I am so grateful to Jess for looking after my dog so that I could enjoy the family wedding without fretting about my dog, it couldn’t have worked out any better! I wouldn’t hesitate to ask Jess to look after my dog again and I am so glad that going forward if I ever need to attend anything I will feel confident in leaving my dog with Jess!”

About: I have always had animals in my life and have a genuine love and passion for caring for them. Over the years, I have had experience with cats, dogs, guinea pigs and rabbits, so I understand that every pet has their own personality, needs and routines. I have also regularly helped family, friends and neighbours with their pets, providing feeding, walks, companionship and general care when they have been busy or away. I am a huge animal lover and take great pride in making sure every pet I care for feels happy, comfortable and loved. I am caring, responsible and reliable, and I will treat your pets as if they were my own. Pet sitting will form a big part of my everyday life, as it is my main job alongside being a mummy to my two children and caring for our four cats. I am available 7 days a week and can offer flexible care around school and nursery drop-offs and pick-ups. I am at home for much of the day, making pet care a natural and enjoyable part of my daily routine. I absolutely love animals and would treat every pet in my care as one of my own. I can provide plenty of love, attention, companionship and care, while making sure they feel safe, happy and comfortable. I am happy to care for pets in their own home or, where appropriate, welcome them into my own home. I understand that every pet is different, so I will always follow their usual routines, needs and instructions to help them feel safe and settled. When caring for pets in your home, I will be respectful, trustworthy and professional, treating your home with the same care and respect that I would my own. I will make sure everything is kept clean and tidy and that your pet receives plenty of attention, companionship and affection. If your pet stays with me, I have a large, secure fenced garden with plenty of outdoor space, as well as a large shed and lots of room inside our home. We live in the countryside, providing a lovely peaceful environment for pets to enjoy. I will always make sure they are safe, comfortable and well supervised throughout their stay.

About: I’ve raised two dogs from puppyhood, so I understand every stage of their development - from house training and boundless puppy energy to the gentler care seniors need. Our family dogs both lived to be 14, so I’m experienced with managing age-related conditions (such as heart issues and arthritis) and adjusting activities to each dog’s pace. Whether your dog needs a calm companion at home or a brisk lunchtime walk to burn off energy, I’ll make sure they get the care and attention they need, with lots of love along the way. I work full time from home, so am available as a companion for your dog through the day. I can take them on walks at lunch and/or after work, and can make sure they have frequent access to outside if required. At the weekend, we can extend walk times to suit your dog’s fitness. We are expecting a baby in January 2026, so our availability is reduced from then while we settle in as a family. We have a fenced garden, and many cosy dog beds dotted about the house. We have a stair gate to fence off upstairs if you’re worried about access to stairs, and our downstairs has LVT flooring which is not too slippy (geriatric dog approved!) so they shouldn’t have any difficulty scamping around. We also have a 13-year-old male Pugalier, who loves the company of other dogs. He will be happy to settle down next to them for a snooze, or watch avidly while your dog plays with toys.

About: I've spent years caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes and temperaments, from my family Cavachon to regularly looking after two Chow Chows and a Husky for friends. I occasionally work at a puppy yoga class in Manchester, where the puppies' wellbeing is the top priority. I particularly enjoy building confidence in nervous puppies and helping them feel safe and comfortable in new environments. Whether your dog is calm, energetic, shy or full of personality, I'll provide patient, reliable care tailored to their needs. 🐾 Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I work from home on Mondays and Fridays (finishing at 12pm on Fridays), which gives me plenty of time and flexibility to provide walks, playtime, feeding, and lots of attention throughout the day. I also work from home on some Tuesdays, and occasionally I have full weeks working from home, giving me even more availability. On the days I work in the office, I'm home by around 4pm, so I'm available for evening care and walks. I'm also free most weekends, making it easy to accommodate weekend bookings and provide dedicated care for your pets. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. In your home, I'll follow your instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, medication (if required), and any house rules your pet is familiar with. I'll make sure they receive plenty of attention, playtime, and exercise, while also respecting their individual temperament—whether they love lots of interaction or prefer a quieter approach. If caring for pets in my own home, they'll have a clean, safe, and relaxed environment where they can feel comfortable. I have a decent-sized garden, and I live directly opposite a field with plenty of lovely walking routes nearby, so dogs can enjoy regular exercise. They'll always have fresh water, regular toilet breaks, lots of attention, and plenty of love and supervision.

About: I've always had a really great relationship with dogs, and was lucky enough to become an owner 7 years ago, when I rescued Gyp from a charity in China. A year later, I brought him back to the UK and lived in a house with 4 other dogs, who I regularly walked, played and cuddled with. As a rescue, Gyp can be very anxious and needs reassurance, so I'm very good at spotting when he's stressed, and I'm really good at keeping a calm and consistent environment for him. Later, I adopted Smokey, who was a senior dog, and so had very different needs to Gyp. Sadly we lost Smokey last year due to his old age. I always make sure the dogs get plenty of attention and exercise, and they're never left alone for more than 5 hours (usually it's much less than that). The house is very dog friendly - Gyp loves cuddles on the sofa and in bed. And I have a fenced garden for them to enjoy too. My dog is my number one priority, and yours would be treated no differently when they came to stay. I work from home during the day, so spend a lot of time with them then, and pop out in the evenings for work for a few hours - I'm never gone longer than 5 hours. On Saturdays I'm at home all day, and Sunday mornings I go out to teach, but again, no longer than 5 hours I would be solely responsible for your pet whilst they are staying with me. I have a fenced garden and one lovely dog to keep your dog company. I have plenty of towels for drying down if we get wet in the rain, and plenty of space for everyone to feel comfortable I have a good routine with the dogs - food and walk in both the morning and the evening, but we can adapt easily to suit the needs of your pet.
