Dog Boarding in Portland

“Keith and Michelle were absolutely wonderful with my dog, Maya. They are kind, caring, and clearly love what they do. Maya enjoyed plenty of long walks and came home happy and relaxed. I couldn’t ask for better people to look after her — highly recommended!”

“Brilliant! Thank you so much, kept me updated on Barney every day with pictures and videos, really went out your way for Barney and made him feel so at home! I will definitely rebooking in the near future! Thankyou to you & your family for everything you have done :)”

About: My wife, Pisamai and myself have always had a dog until our beloved Dalmatian, Lexi died last year. We miss her so much, but travel a lot, so thought looking after other people's dogs might fill the void! My wife, Pisamai and myself are retired, so unless we are traveling, we spend most of our time either walking, cycling, or at home in Weymouth. We live in Weymouth and have fully fenced garden. We live 10 minutes walk from a beach and numerous other walks, including the Dorset Coast path.

“Ross looked after my Jackapoo Enzo for a night last weekend, Enzo can be quite choosy as to who he gets to like but immediately took to Ross who clearly has a great way with dogs. I was struck by Ross’s preparation involving a questionnaire about Enzo and his likes and dislikes. Ross will be my go to person when Enzo needs to be cared for in the future.”

“Nicky was very accommodating and welcoming and we felt very comfortable leaving our very excitable young lab Nala with her knowing she would be looked after well. Nicky has also given us some tips and guides to how we can help train Nala which was fab! Both Nicky and her husband seem very knowledgeable and experienced and Nala came home happy and healthy. Would highly recommend”

“Morgan was great with Daisy and really put my mind at ease. Morgan was happy to do a meet and greet first before I confirmed and booked, she asked lots of questions and was happy to answer mine. I got an update whilst Daisy was with her which was nice as I knew Daisy was relaxed. Daisy seemed to enjoy her stay and I will definitely be using Morgan again for some future dates.”

About: As a lifelong dog lover and experienced pet carer, I am dedicated to providing top care for your furry family members. Growing up with rescue dogs has taught me the importance of patience, compassion and understanding in caring for animals. I understand the importance of routine for dogs, while also providing mental stimulation though play, treats, and training. Whether it’s a young pup or a senior dog, I am equipped to provide attentive care for dogs of all ages. You can trust that your fur baby will receive the love and attention they need to thrive under my care. I work 5 days a week in office. The office is very dog friendly so I would be able to bring your beautiful dog into the office and be social, along with hourly fresh air breaks. If you prefer them to stay at home they won’t be alone either. I provide a clean and welcoming environment for pets to feel relaxed. My family home has a walled space with the beach in close proximity.

“Nathan and Bree helped us out last minute having Henry. They were very welcoming and accommodating for Henry’s needs. Thankyou for having him!”

“Bracken had an excellent stay with Jackie. She settled well, and was obviously happy and well cared for. We appreciated the updates which Jackie sent. We would certainly entrust Bracken to Jackie again.”

“Zoe is a gem. She responded to our request for Ginger to stay, speedily and efficiently. Our little dog was so happy when we collected her, testimony to being so well cared for by Zoe during her two night stay. Thank you for being so kind and lovely to Ginger - beach walks included! We will be back. Stu”

About: I have had dogs throughout my life and I currently have two, one elderly and one with health issues. I have experience with giving dogs medication as my dog needs medication daily. I have also had a litter of puppies that we brought up and trained so I have experience with puppy’s and training. I also walk my family’s dogs and I dog sit when ever needed. I love dogs and I interact really well with them, I’m always the dogs favourite:) I am currently available full time, so I am available everyday including weekends and I am very flexible on the times so I can do any times throughout the day. I care for my dogs and all dogs very well they always get extra love, care and attention. On walks and I always play with them and tire them out and make sure they enjoy them selfs, And at home give them loads of love and attention.

“Thank you again Catherine, you're a star...Loki loves staying with you and Barney. Catherine is extremely accommodating and flexible to any changes, of which I made at least 2 😬. I would absolutely recommend Catherine to anyone looking for a homely experience knowing their dog will be well cared for and treated like one of the family ☺️”

“Lilly has a great time with Trudy and her dogs. She took great care of her and kept us fully informed with photos and videos. We’re would not hesitate to book her again.”

Steve R.

“Victoria was helpful and loving and came to pick up and drop up Tintin on time, overall he looks like he had fun. She sent some pictures but not too many, she’s a good sitter but as this was my first time with her, it would have helped me feel less worried about how is my dog if I received a daily picture, specially for the overprotective moms like me hahaha. Victoria is great, she just needs to sent a little more updates. Thank you!”

Vanesa L.

“This was Gwens first time away from the family and we were worried as she's quite a sensitive dog. Alex was amazing with her, she gave us regular updates and Gwen thoroughly enjoyed her stay. Lots of lovely walks and lots of playing ball. We have no hesitation in using Alex again and thoroughly recommend her. Thanks again Alex and family”

“Sue and her husband looked after our 10 month old border terrier for 8 nights. Sue kept us updated with brilliant photos of all the wonderful walks Reg was having and I could see he was loving his time there. I would not hesitate to book with Sue again.”

“Jane was fantastic! Her home and garden are safe and perfect for dogs, and she clearly adores them. River had so much fun playing with Watson and came home happy, relaxed and beautifully brushed. I really appreciated all the regular updates – it was great to know he was in such loving hands.”

Trudy B.

About: With over 20 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, and a wide variety of animals, I bring a lifelong dedication to animal welfare and wellbeing. I spent 10 years living and working on a farm with boarding kennels, where I was deeply involved in the daily care, feeding, exercise, and monitoring of animals in both home and professional settings. My passion for animals has been a constant throughout my life, reflected not only in my work but also in always having my own cats and dogs. I am confident, compassionate, and attentive to the individual needs of each animal, ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for at all times. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I am around all day, which allows me to make sure pets always have access to fresh food and water. I regularly provide walks, playtime, and attention to keep them active and happy, while also monitoring their overall wellbeing. If medication is needed, I can administer it on schedule, and I am comfortable maintaining any training routines to encourage good behavior and consistency. Overall, I make pet care a priority by ensuring pets are safe, comfortable, exercised, and well cared for throughout the day. I provide a safe, trustworthy, and caring environment where pets can feel comfortable and secure while in my care. I have a good-sized fenced garden for outdoor time and exercise, with woods just behind my home as well as plenty of nearby fields and coastal walks that are perfect for dogs who enjoy exploring and staying active. I understand how important it is for owners to feel confident leaving their pets with someone reliable, and I always aim to give pets the same attention and care they would receive at home. I am also happy to come to your home if preferred, helping pets stay relaxed in a familiar environment and maintain their normal routine.

“Arwen had a wonderful time with Sofia and I would highly recommend her. When I arrived to take Arwen home she came to greet me but then went back to her bed and didn’t want to come home. And that was after one night so she obviously felt completely at home.”
