Dog Boarding in North Dorset

“Our tiny rather nervous boy had the very best calm and understanding care. We are very confident in Sam and Catherine to have Max stay over again. 🐾”

“This is our second booking with Melonie and was for an overnight this time. Very responsive communication beforehand and our dog enjoyed the sleepover with other dogs. Highly recommended as a pet sitter. Thanks again Melonie.”

“I cannot thank Ellie enough for her care of Skyla. She was immediately treated like one of the family and it was clear from the beautiful photos and videos regularly shared, that Skyla was living her best life with her fellow retrievers, Chester and Cooper. Will definitely rebook in the future if Ellie and Terry will have her - Skyla has found her home from home!”

About: I'm a qualified dog trainer, currently taking a diploma in canine first aid. I'm also a registered nurse which comes with a particular set of skills and knowledge - much which is transferable. I come from a home which was full of pets, from the usual dogs, rabbits, hamsters and birds, to exotic spiders, snakes and lizards. When I left home I continued the trend having many pets of my own - with the addition of chickens. I'm home all day, with my own Staffie - who loves the company of other dogs - so plenty of time for walks, play and just chilling around the house. I have a fenced garden and a very friendly dog for your pet to play with. We have a field and country lane right outside our home and a large field a short walk away where other dogs also go to play and be walked.

“You simply couldn’t wish for anyone better than Caroline to care for your canine companions - it’s as simple as that! This was the very first time we had left Jip with anyone other than a family member - Caroline & the totally gorgeous Zola went out of their way & above & beyond to make Jip feel welcome & part of the family immediately. Caroline sent wonderful, reassuring updates & provided an absolutely faultless, caring, compassionate & above all secure & fun stay for Jip. It was there for all to see that Jip had had an absolute ball staying with Caroline, Zola & family……So if you’re looking for someone to care for your pet to the highest standards, look no further than Caroline……& Zola of course! Thank you Caroline from the bottom of our hearts & we wouldn’t hesitate for a second to leave Jip with you again 😊”

If needed, your dog can be crated if required.

“Clhoe is a lovely lady and catered for our staffy in every way. She has a lovely home and grounds for plenty of exercise. We were sent updates whilst we were away to reassure us he was well and enjoying himself. He had his own room but was allowed to mix with their dog and one other. I'm very happy with his stay and will definitely be using chloe again!”

“Thank god for Debbie. From our first meet and greet and how well our dog Buddy took to her, we knew we found a special, trustworthy, genuine person to care for Buddy, whilst we were away. Debbie provided such an excellent service and made sure we were kept updated with messages and photos during Buddy’s stay. And we could tell he was being so well cared for, which in turn made our holiday away more enjoyable as we could properly relax knowing he was so happy and settled. We will definitely be looking to book Debbie for future dog sitting needs. Thank you so much Debbie”

“Francesca was great! She took on Coco in an emergency situation and she took good care of her! We are very pleased as we could have our holiday abroad in peace! Thank you so much!”

Milly R.

“A lot of anxiety leaving my puppy for the first time but that was soon put completely at ease. Would definitely recommend and definitely use again. Very happy😊”

Megan L.

“Relaxed caring young couple made a perfect temporary home for our slightly quirky, lazy Frenchie. A nearby green was ideal for his daily short walks. One partner was permanently at home with our dog and sent regular updates and photos of our beloved Frenchie. Money well spent!”

Maryna C.

“Cathy was lovely and my dog Leo was very happy to play with her little dog Barney. Cathy sent me lots of pics which was very comforting. I would def recommend her. X”

Nicola R.

“Ryan was fantastic with our dog Storm. We meet before Storm stayed with Ryan so all parties were happy. This was a great touch. Ryan looked after Storm for a week for us and sent us an update with pictures and video every day. This made my other half very happy as it was the first time we had left Storm behind. I would have no problem whatsoever in recommending Ryan to look after anyone’s dog.”

Ian G.

“Samantha immediately made us feel at ease and we knew our dog Summer was in good hands. Its obvious that she is a dog lover. Summer had a great week and she came home looking well and happy.”

Nicola W.

“Ted settled in well with Amy, Will and Pepper. We were reassured by the photo and messages and were confident the Ted would be well looked after and would have a good time.”

Sandy C.

“Claire gave me every confidence she knew what she was doing with caring for Peggy. Her dog, Pip, and Peggy got on so well, I’ll definitely be coming back to them again.”

Philippa S.

“Theo had a wonderful time staying with Aga. He settled straight in, loved the garden and playing fetch! Then enjoyed cuddles on the sofa 🐶 Aga is super friendly, quick to respond and kept me updated throughout with photos. Theo can’t wait to stay again.”

Ed L.

“Ashley was truly amazing. Barney loved his stay . Great communication , we would definitely ask Ashley to look after our dog again . Thank you Ashley:)”

Agata D.

“Another wonderful stay for Molly with Ying and her family, and of course Trigger! Lots of great pictures sent to me during her stay and always so happy. When we arrive at Ying's house Molly can't get to Ying quickly enough she loves being there so much. I feel so happy leaving Molly with Ying as I know she's going to be so well looked after 🥰”

About: I have owned 2 dachshunds now for 8 years both rescues from ex breeding facilities. I am very aware of all the love and care dachshunds need and cautious of the health problems they can encounter. I have cared for my senior dog with various medications so I feel I am able to safely administer anything required. Although I work full time, between both me and my partner our hours can cross so there is a reduced amount of time they are left alone. I also return home for a lunch break every day. I have a stair gate fitted to ensure the safety of the dogs. We have a ramp for the back garden to protect their backs. I also have a camera so when I am away from the home I can keep an eye on them!
