Dog Boarding in Lancaster

“Alexandra was very responsive and gave lots of pupdates! Rupert seemed comfortable right away and even went to a gala with the family. I would happily have Rupert stay with Alexandra and her family again.”

“I was looking for a sitter to watch our little Banksy whilst we went on holiday. I am so so pleased with how well he has been looked after, i received constant updates and pictures of our pooch and i knew he was in safe hands. The whole process from start to finish was amazing and went so smoothly. Chelsea and Andy are fantastic dog sitters and if your pup likes other dogs then this is a little holiday for them aswell. 10/10 review, will be using chelsea and Andy again every single time we go away. Couldn’t have asked for a more amazing family to give Banksy the best week ❤️ From Scarlett and Tom”

About: I grew up with a dog for 15 and a half years, which had a profound impact on me. I decided to pursue dog training after adopting a Boxer, a decision I've never regretted. I've learned a great deal about myself, including my insecurities, strengths, and how dogs and horses perceive me. It's been an invaluable experience that I've refined more and more throughout my life. I can care for dogs of any size and age, though they should be at least one year old. If needed, I can train young dogs and also care for older ones. I can also administer oral medications and give your Sweetie a soft & calming massage. In 2018 and 2021, I adopted two rescued Greyhounds whose calm and balanced nature has helped many other dogs. Even though they sometimes get excited at dog meetups, they always manage to build a stable relationship. This invaluable talent has brought us many friends on our daily walks. My two sweeties have become important members of various dog groups / packs and are, of course, always welcome among people. I am also available to help with nearly any behavioural issues you may encounter with your dog. How to read a dog's body language? How do I train my dog ​​not to pull on the leash all the time? Why does my dog ​​bark even when there's (obviously) no reason to? Would you like to change this unwanted behaviour in your beloved pet? Talk to me. I work from my home office in the mornings. At midday, I take my two Greyhounds for a walk, and they always enjoy sharing this time with new friends. They are both extremely friendly and outgoing, even with small dogs. Then it's garden time, perhaps some training, or playtime with friends like a Giant Schnauzer or a Whippet at my house. So there's always something going on, and after all that romping around, a cool bed on the lawn is just what's needed. I have a fenced garden, live in a quiet area with very friendly neighbours, I offer lounging areas, cooling mats in the summer, and a separate feeding area.

About: We had a dog as children I later owned two dogs, Daisy and Bongo (in photo gallery). In Italy, where I managed a study centre, I looked after the owners dog during their winter absence. In Yorkshire I worked in the office and house of a stud farm and looked after Bonzo the office dog. Recently, for 4 years, I walked, swam and went on adventures with a lovely bearded collie, Nelson, until he died, which was heart breaking. John, his owner, has provided a reference. Last year I joined a house sitting site and had a great year. I first looked after Rhubarb, in Yorkshire. a sun worshipper who knew when she wanted to go for a walk, and when she didn't. Then it was Reggie, a one year old terrier who kept me on my toes and was an absolute character. Then it was Knaresborough with Mollie and Maisie, the cutest, sweetest most loving pair. Lula was an anxious little Tibetan terrier who liked sleeping, a lot, and going for quiet walks on Ilkley Moor and in the woods.She even decided the river was quite nice to chill in. They all feature in the rogues gallery. Two of the owners have given references. Having lived all over the world I returned to the UK to retire. I am available from mid March until the end of October/mid November - I don't do English winters. I am totally free of commitments and can dog sit in someone's home for one to three weeks but am flexible on dates. I prefer countryside sits in new places, Yorkshire, Lakes, Lancashire coast. I could have your dog stay with me, if I am not booked on an away stay. Only older smaller dogs to stay with me please. I live opposite the beach so plenty of space to run around and enjoy the outdoors. I love the countryside, walking, swimming, reading, creative writing and painting - so am equally as happy sitting at home quietly if your dog is more of a home body! Last year was great. I had the company of some fabulous dogs. We visited National Trust properties. Walked favourite places. Explored woods. Swam in rivers. Went on car trips. Hung around in the garden at home. Had grooming sessions and belly rubs, well that's the dogs, not me. And cuddled on the couch. I met some adorable dogs and lovely owners and visited some fantastic places. I'm hoping for more of the same this year. I absolutely love dogs and for some reason dogs always adore me, even the anxious little Lula took to me straight away. All dogs are different and I'm happy to follow feeding and walking regimes. I'm good at ball throwing, belly rubbing, grooming, cuddling up and watching TV in the evenings.

“Matt and Zoe were wonderful with Jolene! They walked her miles, showered her with treats, and really made a giant fuss of her. They were friendly and proactive in communication with us, and sent us loads of photos of our sweet girl.”

“If you’ve got a reactive dog, you can be sure they’ll be well looked after with Reece and Lucy! In the past I’ve been so worried about leaving my cocker spaniel with sitters, but from the moment we met I could see how much these two really care about dogs and therefore would prioritise Otis’ comfort, looking out for him and having plans in place for moments where he might have gotten stressed. It turns out this was barely needed as clearly Otis felt right at home from the off, and he didn’t have a single moment of reactivity the whole weekend - which is amazing and absolutely testament to the great care that he was shown. I felt really relaxed about leaving Otis with Reece and Lucy, and I’d 100% do this again. Great comms before and during Otis’ stay too. Thank you both!!”

About: I have loved and taken care of two little maltese doggies and a cat for over 10 years. Because of their aging I am more than capable in dealing with medicine/medicinal routines with dogs. I am a lonely unemployed student who would love to take care of your pet and will most likely be available at any time! I am available for boarding on weekends every 2 weeks and Weekdays (other than Wednesday and Friday) I am free. I have a small fenced garden perfect for quick potty breaks. I have space in my room for a crate if needed but any animals are welcome to go on furniture. I also have treats that will be approved by you before feeding.

“Fergie had never had a sleepover at someone else's house before and Catherine sent us photos and clips thought the day that helped us all relax in the knowledge that Fergie was having a great day! We couldn't have wished for better care.”

“Tiny was so well cared for by Sarah and her family. I was kept updated with messages, photos, and videos throughout Tiny's stay. I couldn't have asked for more and would definitely use Sarah again.”

About: I’ve had dogs all my life, I currently have a 45kg Labrador cross so very experienced with all large dogs. I’ve done a variety of training and will always help you with your dogs if you need any guidance. I work this round my university studies, I’m usually available every weekend & evenings but I can accommodate last minute requests, Just give me a message! I have a large fenced garden and a large Labrador playmate for your pets! We go on long walks, often to the beach or the woods.

“Pete is a genuinely lovely guy who obviously loves his dogs. He was absolutly amazing with Bertie. Nothing was too much trouble and we felt as though he treat Bertie as his own which gave us great peace of mind when we left him. He kept us up to date with loads of great photos and updates. We were reassured that Bertie had his medication on time. Cannot recommend Pete highly enough and we will definitely use him again in the future.”

“This was the first time we have used Rover. Diana was the perfect host for our Cairn Terrier Mac. He got see lots of cool parks. And we were updated daily with great photos. He came back a very happy chappy. We would highly recommend Diana.”

“We can't thank Lidia and her husband enough for looking after Blaze this weekend. from an initial visit before his stay to his time there at the weekend he had a fabulous time. Lidia sent us photos of his stay and was flexible with our collection time when we were back earlier than expected. i would recommend Lidia to anyone who wants their dog to have a genuine home from home experience.”

Peter P.

“Absolutely perfect boarding experience, lovely family, plenty of photos and updates! Max was playing with the little girl in the garden and went on a long walk! He’s been fast asleep since I picked him up, he didn’t want to leave, bless him! Would definitely recommend this sitter! Thank you so much xx”
