Dog Boarding in Hartlepool

“I was in need of a dog sitter and needed to know they were safe and happy during all the chaos of a house move! Claire invited us to meet beforehand and I knew immediately the dogs would be in good hands. She is attentive and understanding of the dogs and accommodating and responsive for her clients. Lovely to receive photos of happy pups at the beach. The dogs become part of the family and it was lovely to see how much they'd enjoyed their stay. Would absolutely recommend!”

“Dodger had a lovely stay with Jackie! Jackie was caring, very attentive and her own dog Oreo was the perfect host. Lovely lady! Dodger was a very happy pooch so would definitely book again!”

“Minnie had a wonderful time with Kay. We felt at ease instantly, as Kay was so thorough when asking about Minnie’s needs and showed her lots of love from the get go. She has an amazing garden which Minnie wasted no time in enjoying! Kay sent lots of updates with photos and videos to put our mind at ease too which was fab. We would recommend to anyone who would like a kind, loving home away from home for their pup, we will certainly be using Kay again.”

About: I make sure dog safety is my number one priority. All dogs are happy and treated like my own. All dogs are secured and feel safe. I currently run a daycare and boarding service in Hartlepool. Dog walks will work alongside my buissness. As well as daycare and boarding and pet visits. My home has been checked by the local council. I am five star rated. I have a fenced garden which is made for dogs here.

“Our Border collie, Flora, really liked Beth and seemed happy to stay with her. She can be anxious with new people and Beth was friendly and took the time to get to know her. During the stay she sent us messages and photos about how well Flora was settling in and this was very reassuring. She communicated with us very well.”

About: I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs of all shapes and sizes, including Westies, Cockapoos, mixed breeds, Greyhounds, and Staffies. I love walking dogs and spending time outdoors, and I’m adaptable to each dog’s unique personality and energy level. Whether your dog is playful, energetic, calm, or a little shy, I tailor my care to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. My experience includes feeding, walking, playtime, and providing lots of attention and companionship. I love including pets in my daily life - walking, playing and giving them attention is something I naturally enjoy. I'm mainly available on weekends and evenings or early mornings. I take safety and comfort very seriously. In my home, pets have access to a small, secure balcony, and because I don't have a garden, I ensure they get extra walks and outdoor time to stay happy and active. I follow any instructions you provide for feeding, training or routines and I supervise pets at all times during walks, playtime or rest. I build trust by being attentive, calm and consistent so pets feel safe, loved and cared for.

About: We’ve had dogs in our house for the past 8 years, sadly losing our last dog in September. We have always had dogs growing up, we absolutely love dogs in our house! We are always the first thought of by our friends and family when they need someone to look after their dog! I currently work full-time but have plenty of time after work, before work and on weekends to look after your gorgeous pooches! Dog boarding available most days depending on circumstances and your dogs needs! I have a secure fenced garden available, dogs are allowed on beds and furniture. We have a passage door to stop dogs accessing the front door when we have visitors or parcels being delivered, etc.

“This is the first time I've left my pooch with someone other than friends or family and I was a little worried at first but Natalie is amazing. She is such a lovely, warm girl who clearly loves dogs. She gave me frequent updates of how Bailey was doing - sent lovely photos of her walks/ activities etc and Bailey clearly loved spending her weekend with her... I'm not quite sure she wanted to leave 😆 . I couldn't recommend Natalie as a dog minder enough and will definitely be in touch with her again if I'm stuck and need someone I can trust with my pooch. Thanks Natalie!!”

About: I have been looking after family and friends dogs for some time and I would like to extend this service to people who would like their fur baby minding in a loving family home. I have recently minded my friends puppy for 10 nights whilst she was on holiday. I currently work part time and free most weekends and some days during the week. I am flexible and hopefully can meet the dates required. I have a detached home with fencing so your dog will be in a safe environment. I live in a lovely area and can go for nice walks.

“I can’t recommend Gheorghe highly enough! We have 2 very nervous dogs and they took to Gheorghe and his partner immediately. We had lots of communication and photos during our trip, meaning we could relax knowing that the dogs were happy and being well looked after. I hope Gheorghe will be able to help with the dogs again in the future.”

“Anna was absolutely amazing, I honestly can't recommend her highly enough. I felt totally comfortable leaving my boy with her and had regular updates throughout, he seems to have had a wonderful holiday. Thank you!”

“Cannot recommend Violeta enough. She was brave enough to take my hyperactive puppy overnight and she did amazing. Kept me up to date with photos and tales of their adventures. I will definitely be a returning customer (if she hasn’t been put off for life ;)). My Sadie Bear has came home well walked, fed and tired out. Violeta is lovely and I trusted her instantly. A job very well done.”
