Dog Boarding in North Ayrshire

“Ching was very good at communicating regular updates including photos and honest information. My dog was treated well and went on trips to the beach and park. I was worried as my dog is quite shy but Ching was very reassuring. She was upfront when my dog was being a little unsure, not just telling my dog was absolutely fine. But she also showed me in photos that my dog was happy and feeling more confident with her. It was the first time I've ever left my dog with someone else and I'm so glad I used Ching. I'll definitely go straight to Ching again.”

“Leaving Baxter with Donald was so easy for us. He made us feel really comfortable and it’s obvious how much he cares for all the dogs. Hope we will manage to book him again .”

About: Home Away from Home: Safe, Loving Care for Your Dog Pet care experience I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10. Neighbours, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets.. Pet Care Experience I’ve been caring for dogs of all kinds since I was 10 years old. Friends, neighbors, and family members have trusted me over the years to walk, feed, bathe, and love their pets like my own. Since adopting my dog Riley in 2017, I’ve gained hands-on experience with everything from daily care routines to recognizing behavior changes and responding with patience and understanding. What sets me apart is my genuine love for dogs and my calm, attentive nature. I’ve worked with puppies, high-energy breeds, and senior dogs who need a little extra patience and care. Whether your pup needs a playful companion or a quiet space to relax, I provide a safe, loving environment tailored to their needs. I work part-time from home, so I’m available throughout the day to give your pup the time, attention, and care they need to feel safe and loved. I have a fully fenced garden where pups can safely play, explore, and relax under supervision—perfect for fresh air, exercise, and tail wags! I make sure the pups get all the love and attention under my care.

“Always preferred the idea of Jax being in someone’s house rather than a kennel.At The first meeting I straight away good good vibes of Hugh. The Forrest’s around where ideal for dogs. We got regular pictures of Jax while we were away which was nice to see Jax enjoying himself. Will defintly be using Hugh when 😀”

“Rachel was amazing with our wee dog. She stepped in on short notice. Mya took to Rachel straight away. Rachel was a a very warm, kind and caring person, you can tell she loves dogs, and I wouldn't hesitate in Rachel looking after Mya in the future. If you are looking for someone toook after your pet Rachel is the one to ask. Thank you Rachel and we will be back.”

“Thanks so much to Douglas and Vicky for taking care of Alba and giving her all the love and attention we would have done if she was at home. They kept us up to date with plenty of messages and pictures. Gave her some medicine that she only got prescribed the day we dropped her off. Couldn't have aksed for better and would definitely recommend and use them again if needs be.”

“I felt confident that Millie would be well cared for with Kayleigh. She sent me photos and updates on how Millie was doing. The dog was happy, it was like a home from home. I would be happy to send Millie back here again.”

Jordan C.

“Contacted Anne Marie for home boarding for our 10 year old lhasa apso for our recent trip. A lovely lady who was enthusiastic, caring and affectionate towards our wee dog. She kept us advised of his progress during the 2 weeks we were away, as this was the first time we had left him with someone we didn't know. When we came back he was very happy to see us and we knew that she had cared for him ever so well. I am happy to recommend Anne Marie to anyone who needs their dog looked after.”

Charles K.

“I cannot recommend Louise enough. She was amazing from start to finish and went above and beyond for us. Bubbles couldn’t have been happier during her stay and the constant photos proved that as she was smiling in all of them. I will absolutely use louise again next time we go away”

“Gillian gave our Dog Ruby a wonderful day and can't thank her enough. Clearly such a dog lover and so considerate, great updates through the day.”

“Daniel and Clair were brilliant dog sitters. I was updated several times with photos and information on the stay. I highly recommend them and will certainly book with them again 😃”

Joan B.

“Hannah was a terrific sitter for my 5 month puppy whilst I was away for a full 9 days! She cared for her like she was her own and kept me regularly updated with photos and videos. Luna always looked so happy and content, and was kept entertained (which is no small feat with a Dalmatian!). Would highly recommend Hannah and use her again. Thank you for looking after my girl so well!”

Steph M.

“Ashleigh was absolutely tremendous with my pup. This is her second time with a sitter so naturally I’m a little more nervous but Ashleigh completely put my mind to ease with regular pupdates during the day! Can also tell the pup had a fabulous time and was so tell taken care of. Highly recommend 😊”

Emily W.

“Very pleased with how well Bear was looked after. Kwai and his family treated him very well. I got lots of updates and photos and Bear got lots of walks so was very happy. Thank you”

Andrew E.

“Our wee boy went to stay with Kirsty for a night while we attended a wedding. She offered a meet and greet before hand which went really well and we knew he would be well looked after. She sent us regular pictures and he was clearly having a fantastic time with his new friends! He chewed through his lead and she replaced it which was very kind but absolutely not needed! He had another one with him and he is a chewy pup so we would have happily replaced it. We will definitely use Kirsty again.”

“Pip had a fantastic 10 day stay with Harry and his family. Great communication throughout and photos of Pip out on lovely country walks. We were told everyone who met Pip thought she was lovely and well behaved! We'd happily recommend Harry and would be very happy to use his services again. Thank you!”

“Charlie had the best time with Rosie and her family. Such a calm and settled environment, just perfect for him. It was a real comfort to know he was happy and settled. Great to receive updates of what he was up to when I was away. Thank you so much 🐾”
