Pet Boarding Papworth Everard

About: I have cared for two dogs for 18 years of my life - a Jack Russel named Ralph and a Collie cross Lab named Martha. When I was 16, obtained a Level 3 qualification in Animal Management at Shuttleworth College. Here, I acquired husbandry skills for a wide range of animals such as reptiles and exotics to goats and wallabies. I graduated from the University of Lincoln this year with a first class with honours degree in Animal Behaviour and Welfare. I cared for and trained several dogs through the university. I further worked full time at a Doggy Day Care for 4 months - walking all breeds and sizes!! Currently, I am studying MSc Clinical Animal Behaviour at Lincoln, with hopes of becoming an accredited clinical animal behaviourist. I am currently completing this Masters by attending lectures every Monday and Tuesday. I am looking to work between Wednesdays and Fridays as this best fits my study schedule. Within an owner’s home, I will follow all instructions provided, keeping their pets in a safe environment at all times and only using positive reinforcement techniques.

About: Update…. I now devote all my spare time to loving and caring for other animals, from dogs and cats to guinea pigs and rabbits. Anything you might need looking after please get in touch, prices can be changed for smaller pets too. I have a cockapoo who is now 4 years old and recently lost a schnauzer who was 13. I care for my dog and all my cats going for short walks to long adventures. All dogs are unique and require different care and if you need someone to pop in when you’re out for long hours or overnight. Just get in touch. I can walk them or just provide company. I work part time so I have a lot of spare time on my hands and over the last 2 months I have been working for a cat sitting service. I absolutely love caring for other people’s pets. Feeding, playing and ensuring they are not alone for long periods of time. I care for pets in their own homes/enviroments. It eases any unnecessary stress to them. I pop in during the day once or twice length of time can vary.

“Jane looked after our dalmatian, Frankie, for a week, and was brilliant. She was so welcoming and friendly right from the first meeting, and while we were away she provided a real home from home - Frankie had plenty of walks and attention and had a great time. Jane also sent regular updates, which our children loved receiving and was lovely to see. Will 100% book again. Thank you Jane!”

“Terry was fantastic - took great care to make sure Ted had a good week with him, including asking questions beforehand about Ted’s likes & dislikes, and taking him on lots of great walks. Ted bonded really well with Terry, and it was good to know he was being so well cared for while I was away.”

“Bibiana was very prepared and experienced looking after dogs. The garden was perfect for my cocker spaniel to run around. I would have liked to have seen a picture of my pup settled in but he was only there 1 evening over night to be fair.”

“Pippin was very well looked after by Leonidas and seemed to have a lovely time and came back very happy and tired out! We appreciated the daily updates and easy communication. Many thanks!”

About: I have lots of hands on experience caring for dogs through having my own Border Collie. He is a big part of our family, so I understand how important it is for dogs to feel safe, comfortable and cared for when they are away from their owners. I’m used to daily walks, feeding routines, playtime, cuddles and keeping a close eye on a dog’s behaviour and needs. I’m patient, caring and responsible, and I know that every dog has their own personality and routine. I also have a cat at home, so I would always discuss this with owners beforehand to make sure their dog is comfortable around cats and that the arrangement is suitable for everyone. I’m available for dog boarding mainly at weekends, during school holidays and half-term breaks. I’m flexible and will always discuss availability with you before accepting a booking. I’m happy to provide a calm, loving home-from-home environment where your dog can feel comfortable, included and well cared for. I have a secure, enclosed garden and a loving family home where your dog can become part of the family during their stay. I live with my husband and two teenage boys, as well as our own dog and our cat. My husband works from home, so he may be around during your dog’s stay, but I will be solely responsible for their care and supervision. I understand that every dog is different and will take the time to understand their personality, routine and individual needs. I’ll follow their usual feeding instructions and provide plenty of supervision, affection and enrichment. Your dog’s safety, comfort and happiness will always be my priority, and I’ll make sure introductions are handled carefully and at a pace that suits each individual dog.

“Adam and Shannon were great with our miniature schnauzer Tess. We had a pre-visit which was really helpful to chat and see how she would settle. Communication was good before and whilst we were away. Tess was very happy on our return so we will definitely be booking again.”

“Joanne and Russ were amazing with Scout again! They kept me regularly updated, complete with pictures and videos, on her stay and how she was doing. They know what dogs she gets along with before they accept any other bookings and Scout always has a blast with all their guests. I highly recommend Joanne and Russ!”

“We needed Cooper looking after for my works Christmas do. Having only recently got Cooper it was our first time leaving him. Marcus and Cheryl made us feel instantly relaxed and welcomed Cooper straight into their home on the meet and greet. They put our minds at rest and were extremely flexible for us, making sure we had a good night and Cooper was looked after. We got regular photos and couldn't have asked for more. Really impressed and also very much appreciate it. Very highly recommend and only have good things to say!!”

“As always, Teddy had an amazing time. Teddy can't wait to visit again. It's nice to know that we can go away and relax knowing he is safe and having fun. I would recommend to anyone.”

About: I would love to have a dog of my own but my circumstances mean I cant take on the responsibility at the moment. I had a dog with my ex partner but we had to have him put to sleep just over a year ago and I miss him terribly. I absolutely love dogs and will take the best care of yours whilst you are away/at work on the days Im not working. I regularly look after friends dogs when they are away or need help whilst theyre at work. Im currently working part time. Thursday-Saturday. My other days I love going out for a walk in the mornings down by the river or walking into town to grab a coffee (and a pupacino if allowed) Love to sit and chill watching some Netflix. I have a fenced off good size garden. Ideal for when we are just chilling at home. Im more than happy to have dogs up on the sofa with me and happy for them to sleep in the bedroom with me if thats what they are used to. Also happy to crate them if that's what you do at home. I will go by your instructions. Same with treats and feeding I will go by your guidance but your dog will be very well cared for and very spoilt with love whilst in my care.

“Sam had another brilliant stay with Golnar. We could tell from the updates that he was happy and settled, and very well looked after by Golnar and her husband. Lots of play and attention and Sam's next stay is already booked in. Thank you!”

“Fabulous dog sitter for Brewster! Rebecca and her daughter gave him a lovely home from home and we could see from the gorgeous photos just how well he had settled. Lots of communication and very friendly!”

“We’re so grateful to Kris and Nick for looking after our dog. From our initial meeting with them, we felt relaxed and confident that she’d be well looked after and treated like their own. We appreciated the updates and great communication throughout. We will definitely use Kris and Nick again!”

“We had an absolutely exceptional experience. This lovely young family truly went above and beyond in every way. From the very beginning, communication was constant and reassuring—they kept us updated daily with messages and photos, which made us feel completely at ease. Their love for animals is genuine and obvious. The children were incredibly excited and formed such a sweet bond with Milo—it was heartwarming to see. They treated him as part of their family, and it really showed. When we picked him up, he was visibly calm, happy, and very well cared for. Milo enjoyed regular walks in beautiful rural surroundings and was never left alone, which meant so much to us. It was clear he received plenty of attention, affection, and exercise throughout his stay. They even told us how much they miss him and welcomed him back anytime—which says everything. We couldn’t have asked for better care. Highly, highly recommended. 💛”
