Dog Boarding in Middlesbrough

About: I have been around dogs ever since I was a baby and I grew up with Rottweilers and mixed breeds. I also have an 11 year old miniature poodle back home in Portugal (living with my mom), and a friendly 6 month-old cockapoo living with me and my partner. I’m comfortable with different breeds and routines, as long as you provide me with this information beforehand so I can provide a warm, relaxed home where your pets will be treated like family. I work from home full-time, so pets are part of my daily routine with regular walks, playtime, and supervision throughout the day. I live right next to a green area for quick and frequent outings, and on weekends I enjoy longer walks to parks or the beach for extra exercise and enrichment. I am available for weekday meet-and-greets and onboarding either before 8am or after 5pm. Pets staying in my home will be cared for in a calm, safe, and relaxed environment. I have a secure fenced garden for supervised outdoor time and toilet breaks. My friendly 6-month-old cockapoo puppy is also at home and can provide company and gentle social interaction, helping visiting dogs feel comfortable and settled. If required, I can also keep pets in separate rooms to ensure everyone has their own space to relax and feel at ease. I always aim to follow each pet's routine and individual needs as closely as possible.

“Anastasiia and her daughter are both caring and lovely people and made my little kitty feel safe and cared for. I would definitely recommend this service to anyone. I was happy to receive updates and reassurance whilst I was away. This made me feel content and comfortable to let them care for my cat. Overall, I am pleased with the service and will definitely trust them with my cat again.”

“Wendy was absolutely brilliant with Doc, my Labradoodle. I could see from the minute he arrived there that he was so welcome. Doc settled in straightaway and just loved going on walks with Wendy too. I would definitely recommend Wendy to care for your lovely doggies. We will be booking again, thank you 😊🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟”

About: Hi, I’m Dave. I’ve had dogs all my life and have experience caring for both large and small breeds with different personalities and energy levels. At home we currently have Scout, our friendly 10-month-old German Shepherd and Golden Retriever cross, so your dog would have a sociable companion during their stay. We also have an older cat who sleeps upstairs out of the way. Our home is family-friendly, so any dog staying with us would need to be comfortable around secondary school-aged children. I understand how important it is for dogs to feel safe, relaxed, and part of the family while their owners are away. Your dog will receive plenty of attention, companionship, exercise, and a caring home environment during their stay. There is always someone home for company.I work full time night shift so will be in with your pet through the day whilst my wife works day shift so is in through the night plus our 2 sons who are always about. We have a fully fenced and secure garden where the dogs can safely play and relax. Scout loves digging up the garden, so part of it is sectioned off — if your dog is a digger too, don’t worry, ours is as well lol. Scout gets three walks a day along with plenty of playtime and attention from the family in between, and your pet would be treated as part of the family too.

“We are so lucky we found Pete, Emma and Sirius the dalmation to look after our dog Misty while we were in holiday, they are such a lovely family and they welcomed Misty into their home for a week making her part of their family. We got regular updates, messages, photos and videos which made a massive difference to our holiday actually seeing her having a fabulous holiday of her own. Everything from the first contact via Rover to the end of Misty's stay was smooth and stress free for us, Pete and Emma are such calm confident people, at our initial meeting at the park we felt very confident they were going to look after Misty as their own and that reassured us we had chosen correctly. I would not hesitate to ask the family to take care of Misty again and if I could give 10 stars in this review that still wouldn't be enough to show how highly we rate them.”

“We needed someone who could take 2 big dogs (and all the luggage that goes with them!!) Sarah and her family were absolutely marvellous and more than stepped up. Diesel fitted straight in; Nala we knew would take more convincing and try and push her luck, but Sarah soon cottoned on it didn't take long before Nala settled too. Have already booked them in for more holidays as now we have found the right family to take care of Diesel and Nala, we can enjoy our holidays worry free.”

About: I’ve grown up with both dogs and cats and have over 20 years of experience caring for my own cats. Alongside this, I have around 10 years of hands-on experience looking after dogs for extended periods, often for weeks at a time. I’m very comfortable with animals of all personalities and needs, and I genuinely enjoy providing them with a safe, happy, and loving environment while they’re in my care. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine as I’m not currently working, which means I have plenty of time and flexibility to give pets the attention they deserve. I’m home most of the day, so I can maintain consistent feeding schedules, provide regular playtime, and ensure pets feel comfortable and settled. I’m able to adapt my routine around each pet’s needs, whether that’s multiple walks for dogs, quiet companionship for cats, or sticking closely to specific care instructions. Because of my availability, I can offer a calm, attentive environment and won’t need to rush or leave pets alone for long periods. I provide attentive, reliable care whether pets are in my home or in their owner’s home. In my home, I create a calm, safe, and welcoming environment where pets can settle in comfortably, sticking closely to their usual routines for feeding, play, and rest. I make sure they get plenty of attention, stimulation, and affection so they feel relaxed and at home. When caring for pets in their owner’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions carefully to maintain the pet’s normal routine. I ensure feeding schedules, walks, litter or garden care, and any specific needs are met consistently. I also keep owners updated for peace of mind, so they know their pets are happy and well looked after while they’re away.

“Nicola and Kevin were a good choice. Our old dog had regular walks in his pushchair and on the lead. He was happy and settled from the moment he arrived. We would be happy for him to stop again. Thanks Nicola and Kevin”

“I was let down and about to go away for a month so this booking was very last minute. I was very anxious. However Chloe appeared calm, poised, asked very pertinent questions and even had a notebook with her. I was very impressed. Rusty was very happy to be stroked by Chloe but reluctant to go with her in the car. Chloe and her partner managed the situation perfectly. After a few days I was getting news of Rusty via Whatsapp including little videos . He'd clearly settled in well and was enjoying his time. I had total confidence in them both that Rusty was happy and well cared for. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Chloe to any other dog owner needing such accommodation for their dog.”

“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: We’re a caring and reliable couple who absolutely love dogs. While we don’t have may years pet-sitting experience, we’ve spent the last five years looking after our own cockapoo, friends and family's so we’re very familiar with daily walks, feeding routines, playtime, and plenty of cuddles. I work as a paramedic, and between the two of us, one will always be at home during the day and night. This means your dog will never be left alone for long and will always have company, supervision, and attention. We understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and we’ll treat your dog as if they were our own—making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while in our care. Pet care is already a big part of our daily routine as we have our own 5-year-old cockapoo. Our day is structured around walks, feeding times, play, and relaxing at home together. Due to my work as a paramedic and my partner’s schedule, one of us will always be home during the day and overnight. This means we can provide consistent supervision, regular toilet breaks, walks, and plenty of attention throughout the day. We’re used to planning our routine around a dog’s needs, so any dog staying with us will fit in comfortably and be treated like part of the family We have a big, fully fenced garden where dogs can safely play and explore. They’re welcome anywhere in the house and will be treated like part of the family, just like our own dog. We’re really close to parks and open fields, so there are plenty of good walking spots nearby. We also enjoy the occasional trip to the seaside for a change of scenery, if your dog enjoys that. We’ll stick to your dog’s usual routine as much as possible and make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well looked after while they’re with us!

“Zoe was fabulous with Kobi who settled very well. We were provided with loads of photos & videos. It looks like Kobi had a great break, as much as we did. We will be booking with Zoe again. A BIG Thank You from all of us”
