Dog Boarding 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.”

“We would thoroughly recommend Joanne because she truly is a wonderful dog boarder - she took care of our dog Olly so well, and we can tell that Olly had a very enjoyable and lovely time with her family. Joanne regularly sent us updates on how our dog was doing and went the extra mile in taking care of him (including taking him to a lake to cool down during the heatwave). Joanne truly treated Olly like one of the family, and we are so grateful to her.”

About: 🐾 Hi, I’m a passionate animal lover with several years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all shapes, sizes, and personalities! At home, I’m proud pet parent to two mischievous cats, Bobby & Milo, and one fun-loving dog, Rolo, so I understand just how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your furry family members. Whether your pet loves long walks, endless cuddles, playtime adventures, or simply having a calm and reassuring companion while you’re away, I’ll tailor my care to their individual needs. I have extensive experience with both cats and dogs and always treat every pet as if they were my own. For your complete peace of mind, I am fully insured for pet sitting and dog walking, ensuring your beloved companions are in safe and professional hands. My goal is simple: happy pets, stress-free owners, and plenty of wagging tails and purring cats! 🐶🐱 I’d love to meet you and your furry family, so please feel free to get in touch. I can’t wait to make some new four-legged friends! Pet care is a huge part of my daily life. As the owner of two cats, Bobby & Milo, and a dog, Rolo, caring for animals is already built into my routine every single day. From feeding, walking, playtime, grooming, and cuddles to making sure each pet gets the attention and care they need, I’m very experienced in managing the different needs and personalities of both cats and dogs. I structure my schedule around providing reliable, consistent care, which allows me to dedicate quality time to the pets I look after. Whether it’s morning walks, daytime visits or evening feeds I enjoy incorporating pet care into my week and genuinely love spending time with animals. For me, pet care isn’t just a job—it’s something I’m passionate about. I understand how important routines are for pets, and I always aim to keep them happy, comfortable, and stress-free while their owners are away. I always provide care that is tailored to each pet’s individual needs, routine, and personality. I understand that every animal is different, and I take the time to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owner is away. When caring for pets in a pet owner’s home, I aim to maintain their usual routine as closely as possible. This includes feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, administering medication if required, cleaning litter trays, and, of course, plenty of affection and companionship. Keeping pets in their familiar environment helps reduce stress and allows them to feel relaxed while their owners are away. For dog walking services, I ensure dogs receive safe, enjoyable walks suited to their age, energy level, and requirements. Whether they enjoy a brisk adventure or a gentle stroll, their wellbeing and safety are always my top priorities. As a pet owner myself to two cats, Bobby & Milo, and my dog, Rolo, I know how important trust, communication, and reliability are. I provide regular updates, photos, and messages so owners can have complete peace of mind knowing their pets are happy and well cared for. I am also fully insured for pet sitting and dog walking, offering an additional level of reassurance that your beloved pets are in safe and professional hands.

About: My boyfriend and I are huge dog lovers and would absolutely love to have a dog of our own one day, but we’re holding off for another year (we also love our holidays!). In the meantime, we love opening our home to four-legged guests! We regularly look after his brother’s dog and my parents’ dog (both pictured) - who we used to live with before we moved in together. so we’re very used to different personalities, routines, and plenty of cuddles. Your pup will be treated like part of the family, with lots of love, playtime, walks and a comfortable home environment while you’re away. We can’t wait to meet them! I regularly work from home so your dog will have all-day company. I’ll take them on a morning (8am) & afternoon (5pm) lead walk. Please note i’m not comfortable letting dogs off the lead until I’ve known them for a considerable amount of time and trust their recall. We have a good sized garden, in the summer I’m happy to leave the patio doors open so they can come and go as they please whilst I work upstairs. Dogs are welcome and even encouraged on the furniture. My boyfriend would prefer for dogs to sleep down by the side of the bed, but I cave to puppy eyes easily 🤭 We have a fenced and locked garden. We are tidy couple so rest assured there won’t be anything left out for your dog to chew/choke on. We can crate your dog if you prefer. However if I were to nip out I’d be happy to leave them in the down stairs front room and kitchen area as it’s hard floor (opposed to carpet upstairs). Our house is very quiet other than the occasional doorbell ring from a deliver driver.

“We were so happy to leave our dog with Carla and her family. She’s very friendly and welcoming and made Winnie feel right at home. We would definitely recommend her to look after your dogs!”

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: We've been lucky enough to share our lives with Dachshunds for over 18 years, and if you know the breed, you'll know they're not just dogs... they're tiny bosses with huge personalities! ❤️ We recently said goodbye to our beloved Hector, and while he'll always have a place in our hearts, our other Dachshund, Betty, is definitely missing her partner in crime (and so are we!). That's why we'd love to open our home to fellow Dachshunds —we love them, and we understand all their funny little quirks! Your sausage dog will be treated as one of the family, with plenty of cuddles, attention, and daily walks alongside Betty. Between me and my husband, we work around each other, so there's almost always someone at home (apart from the occasional school run etc!). Our only request is that your Dachshund is happy and confident around our two children, of course our children will be supervised but we know not all dachshunds are confident around children in the first place. If your dachshund has a similar fur brother or sister of a different breed and you would like them to stay with us please let us know and I'm sure we can accommodate. Both me and my husband work around each other, our house is a busy one but there is almost always someone home, the kids need to be taken to school in the mornings but then the day is ours! Your dog will be treated as one of our own, Betty sleeps out of her crate in one of her many beds around the house. We understand we are looking after your baby so any special wants or needs can be catered for within reason.

“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: I have been responsible for the care of many cats and dogs for the past six years. I’m used to adapting to different personalities and requirements. I can feed, groom, entertain, play. I am able to recognise health issues and take the appropriate actions to keep your pets engaged, safe and well. I’m currently available most of the days and can do overnight stay if necessary. Im available to do daily visits to feed and to give daily care to your pets. I keep to a daily routine of feeding, grooming and interaction ensuring that I am always aware where my cat is. My cat is allowed to go outside for a short period of times but due to her daily routine she returns when required.

About: I have grown up in a home caring for many animals including dogs, cats, chickens, and more. I have recently relocated from Surrey and have availability to take on new clients. I previously volunteered at a dog rescue in Portugal. I loved my time there! The experience has made me comfortable around dogs of all sizes, abilities, and temperaments. I am currently working privately as a carer. My hours are casual so I am very flexible with my availability and can be available at short notice. I would prefer to look after pets in their own home. I can stay with them all day or I can do regular check ups.

“We asked Paul last minute to look after our dog Tod and he was very accommodating. He sent us regular updates with pictures, and we could relax knowing Tod was having a lovely time with him and his family. Tod loved the garden and the walks. Paul lives in a rural location which is perfect for dog walks. Would definitely use Paul again. Thankyou so much 💓”

Victoria A.

About: I have a very calm, kind, relaxed nature that helps me to bond really well with all animals. I love to play and snuggle with cats and to build trust and a bond with them. I can be very flexible around my other job, I keep my availability up to date and am very reliable. My other work - I support individuals with learning difficulties to go away on holiday. Around the working holidays I can be very flexible, as I am self employed. I am also training to become a counsellor. Pet boarding, doggie day care, drop ins and dog walks are likely more practical due to my other work. I have a nice large garden and surrounding local areas for dog walks, such as the woods and the beach. I live with my partner and he is excellent with animals and high energy so often joins on dog walks.
