Dog Boarding in Maldon

“Alison's poodle, Bella, is the most chilled dog ever and she got on well with Moray, our young Jack Russell. Moray loved Alison from the start and he went on some really good walks and got lots of cuddles. I couldn't be happier to leave Moray with Alison again.”

“Hannah is amazing. Really put me at ease as the first time leaving my dog. Hendrix loved her and seemed to make himself at home. Would highly recommend! Xx”

“We highly recommend Vīryanātha and his family. From the very first contact, communication was warm, responsive, and reassuring — exactly what we needed after a last-minute cancellation just before Christmas. Nala stayed with them for over two weeks during the holidays, and she was clearly treated like a member of the family. Between the daily walks, cuddles, and her integration with the whole family (including their daughter), she was genuinely at home. The regular updates and photos were very good and allowed us to enjoy our time away completely worry-free. It was obvious from every message that Nala was relaxed, happy, and deeply cared for — to the point that we joked she might not want to come back 😄. The kindness and professionalism they showed exceeded our expectations. If you’re looking for a trustworthy, caring, and experienced dog sitter who offers a real family environment, look no further. We would book with them again without hesitation. Thank you again for taking such wonderful care of Nala 🐾❤️ Erika & Jean-Marc”

“We just wanted to say the most enormous thank you to you both for looking after Athena so wonderfully. It was so clear she was loved and cared for like one of your own, and your regular updates gave us such peace of mind. The paddling pool in the heat was such a thoughtful touch — you really went above and beyond. We couldn’t have asked for better, and we know she was in the happiest hands. Thank you from all three of us! 🐾”

“Amazing as always! Toby had the best time. I’m very grateful to your family for taking such great care of him and treating him like a member of the family! Thank you!”

“Our dachshund stayed with Kayley for the night and had a great time. We received regular updates and were confident that he was being well looked after. It was our first time leaving him so we were quite nervous but these worries subsided once we had met Kayley and seen how lovely she is. We will definitely use Kayley again!”

“Bean boarded with Carle for 10 nights. He had such a great time. Carle was super with him being very patient and gentle while he settled in. It didn’t take long for him to make himself at home. He was thoroughly loved and while he was pleased to see us was reluctant to leave. He would love to stay with Carle when we next go away. I’d highly recommend Carle”

About: I have always been surrounded by both cats and dogs ... I love our little feline friends and happy to pop in and look after them to ensure they are fed watered and clean their litter trays etc whilst you are on your holidays. I care for them with a passion so rest assured they would be taken great care of. I also love small dogs - I am happiest with the little ones up to about 7kg ... and can take them for a walk or pop in visits if you are going somewhere. I’m a friendly outgoing and reliable individual who has a passion for our little animals. I currently do not have any pets - but love to look after other peoples and give them play time needed and cuddles. I’m available immediately and would love to meet your furry friends :) I am at home all the time so able to fit round any requested scheduling. I am therefore very flexible and accommodating as know each client has different requirements/needs. I am very trustworthy if you provide me a key to look after your cat or dog I will ensure it never leaves my possession and guard it with my life you can rest assured of this :)

“Thank you so much Diana for having Reggie. He was so happy playing with the other animals. He had lots of cuddles and love and settled in with ease. We received lots of fun videos and I know he enjoyed his stay, will definitely be coming back 💕”

“Alys was so helpful from the beginning of contact. Coco has never been to a dog sitter before but Alys made time for a meet and greet which helped set our mind at ease. Coco is an excitable and slightly nervous cockapoo but she came home happy and tired after a lovely time and we were sent photos and updates as well. Would definitely recommend and will be using again! Thanks for all your help Alys!”

Carly T.

“Millie stayed with Hannah and Annie for the second time, and once again we couldn’t be happier. She is very friendly, warm, and reassuring, and treated Millie as if she was one of her own. She kept us updated throughout the stay with regular messages and photos, which gave us real peace of mind. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again!”

Thais N.

“Sarah and Joe were the most amazing pup sitters for our sweet Izzy. From the moment I met them I knew Izzy would be in brilliant hands - she was so comfortable in their home from the start. We had loads of updates and I knew that Izzy was feeling very at home. I would not hesitate to recommend Sarah and Joe to look after your precious pup. Thank you!”

Suzanne T.

“I can say a huge thank you to Annabel, who is an amazing dog sitter, even though my dog doesn’t like other dogs. She is caring and responsible at all times, and you can definitely leave your doggy with peace of mind.”

Denitsa P.

“Paddy clearly had a great stay, he came back and slept for about 24 hours. I don’t think I’ve ever seen him so tired. Will definitely be booking again”

Daniel B.

“Keziah was great! kept me updated with photos and videos and let me know how he was and answered messages very quickly. Will definitely be happy to send my dog for a sleepover there again!”

Isabella C.

“Alison looked after our puppy Luna for the day and overnight, Luna was very well looked after, cared for and given lots of attention and affection. Alison was great at understanding Luna’s needs and communicating with and also sent pictures and videos of Luna so we could see how she was getting on throughout her stay. Would definitely recommend. Thank you so much 😊”

About: As a dedicated dog owner to two high maintence dogs myself, I understand how important routine, patience and affection are in helping dogs feel safe and settled. Alongside caring for my own two Chow Chow’s Winnie and Bertie, I’ve looked after friends’ chow chows and a variety of other breeds while they’ve been on holiday, giving me plenty of hands‑on experience with different temperaments, ages and needs. Whether I’m supporting a playful pup or a more sensitive dog, I always tailor my approach to their individual personality, ensuring they feel loved, secure and part of the family. My two chows are very friendly and love to make new friends and welcome them into their home. My female Chow has various health issues, so I am very experienced in giving medication and following instructions and promise to love and care for your dog like they’re my own! I have a Smoke free / clean home and there’s plenty of space. I can bath your dog for you on request, I have lots of experience in home grooming due to having two very fury chows! And have a professional blaster for drying. Your dog/ dogs must be ok and friendly with other dogs to stay in our home. Meeting your dog beforehand is a must before they board or come to doggy day care with us to make sure they are ok with my dogs and to understand their needs properly. I mostly work from home, giving me plenty of time to focus on your dog’s needs. I’m available on weekdays and weekends for consistent, flexible care. I have a secure fully fenced garden and two friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company, and can easily crate your dog if needed. My dogs are treated like family, and yours will be too!

About: I have many years of experience caring for dogs of my own as well as friends, family & neighbours. I’ve grown up always having pets at home. I am most experienced in caring for dogs, however I can also care for cats, and smaller furry friends! I work full time however I am available to do home visits throughout the week around my working hours, and I’m available at weekends for all other services. If you have a weekend away coming up, I’m here to help! My home has a fully fenced garden for your dogs to play in. The home is safe, smoke free, child free and my partner, Eddie (listed as an additional carer and pictured) and I both love animals and will give them all the care & attention they deserve. We have two cocker spaniels who stay here part time (and live with my mum the rest of the time) and I will ensure to arrange care that’s best for your pet whether that’s with my dogs or alone.

“Poppy was so happy to stay with Shane, I felt she was well looked after and had a lovely time. I had great updates from Shane and would not hesitate to book him again. Thank.you”
