Dog Boarding in North Ayrshire

“Our Australian Labradoodle went for a first stay with Elin for three days and Penny settled well. Elin sent regular updates and videos and took penny to a secure field as well as the coast for a walk. We would recommend Elin.”

“Huge thank you to Donald for taking such good care of our Labrador Poppy. This was Poppy's first time staying with someone else and Donald couldn’t have been any better, he built a relationship with Poppy at our meet snd greet and it was very easy to see how comfortable Poppy was with Donald and his lovely Mum. Donald made sure Poppy was walked frequently and stuck to the routine Poppy has at home. She also had plenty of space in Donalds back garden to play with her football. We will definitely be booking with Donald again.”

About: I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life and have always been comfortable caring for them, walking them, and understanding their different personalities and needs. I’m patient, reliable, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I understand how important it is for owners to feel their pets are safe, happy, and well looked after, and I always aim to provide calm, caring, and trustworthy support. I’m happy to follow feeding routines, provide regular walks, playtime, and give pets plenty of attention and care. I’m especially good with friendly family dogs and making pets feel comfortable and relaxed around me. I work Monday to Thursday, so I am available for pet care on Fridays, weekends, and some evenings depending on the time. I can also be flexible with advance notice. I’m happy to help with dog walking, drop-in visits, and pet care during these times, and I will always make sure I plan my schedule properly so I can give pets full attention and reliable care. When caring for pets in an owner’s home, I make sure to follow their usual routine as closely as possible so the pet feels comfortable and secure. I pay attention to feeding times, fresh water, walks, and any specific instructions given. I take a calm and patient approach with animals and always treat them with care and respect. I understand that every pet has their own personality, so I take time to make sure they feel safe and relaxed around me. I am based in North Ayrshire and am reliable, tidy, and respectful when visiting someone’s home. I always aim to provide trustworthy and consistent care so owners feel confident their pets are in good hands.

About: I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life and caring for animals has always come very naturally to me. I previously had my own beloved cat, Pablo, who taught me so much about companionship, patience and the unique personalities animals have. Alongside my experience with dogs and cats, I’ve also worked as an equine therapy co-facilitator, supporting therapeutic work involving horses and people. This gave me a strong understanding of animal behaviour, nervous systems, emotional attunement and creating calm, safe environments, something I bring into the way I care for dogs too. I know how important it is to feel your dog is genuinely cared for whilst you’re away, so I aim to create a relaxed, loving home away from home experience where dogs feel secure, comfortable and included in daily life. I’m naturally calm, patient, attentive and playful and I take time to get to know each dog’s individual needs, routines and personality. I also regularly care for friends’ dogs, so I’m very used to different personalities, routines and needs and I genuinely love having dogs around the home and out on walks. I have a secure garden for dogs to relax and play in, and I’m also very close to both the beach and forest walks, so there are plenty of opportunities for calm nature walks, exploration and outdoor time during their stay. Whether your dog loves adventures, companionship, playtime or cuddles on the sofa, I’ll make sure they feel safe, settled and cared for. I’m also happy to send regular photo and video updates so you can relax knowing your dog is happy and in good hands. I work Monday-Wednesday in an office but will do walks before and after work. I work in an office Monday-Wednesday so will do walks before & after work. I work from home on Thursdays and Fridays with lots of flexibility throughout the day for walks, playtime and cuddles. I’m also available over the weekends for boarding. I have a secure fenced garden where dogs can safely relax, play and enjoy outdoor time. I only take a small number of dogs at once so I can give each dog plenty of attention, care and supervision throughout their stay. I understand that every dog has different needs, routines and comfort levels, so I take time to help them settle in gently and feel safe in my home. I’m calm, patient and attentive, and I always prioritise your dog’s wellbeing and emotional comfort. I live close to the beach and forest walks, providing plenty of opportunities for safe, enriching walks in nature. I’m also happy to follow your dog’s usual routines, feeding schedules and any special care instructions to help them feel as settled as possible whilst you’re away

“Jennifer was kind, helpful and efficient at getting back to me, and making quick arrangements for a stay as well as squeezing in a Meet and Greet beforehand. I was impressed with the Meet & Greet, as well as showing us around her home and garden, Jennifer wanted to go for a walk with Digory and ourselves so that she could see firsthand how to handle him. Very reassuring. From the start, it was clear to us that Digory was settled and happy. Regular messages, questions and pictures assured us that he was being carefully and thoughtfully looked after.”

“Our lab had a great time with Jennifer! He's still quite young and this was the longest we'd been away without him, so we loved seeing the photo updates of what he'd been up to. This reassured us he was in great hands. Given the choice I think he'd have stayed longer!”

“Gigi loved her time staying with Heather and her family and made herself at home. She especially loved spending time with Heathers daughter and enjoyed her cuddles ! It was great having Heathers dog, little Daisy there too for a little companion for Gigi, I am sure she is missing her lots. Thanks again to Heather for looking after her so well and putting our minds at ease whilst we were on our family holiday.”
