Pet Boarding Ramsbury

About: I have been a dog lover my entire life and have owned and cared for dogs of all breeds, ages, personalities and sizes—from small lap dogs to much larger breeds. Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and I genuinely love spending time with them, whether that means playing in the garden, enjoying a good game of fetch, giving plenty of fuss and cuddles, or simply relaxing together on the sofa. I have been providing home boarding for six years, so I understand that every dog is different. Some arrive ready to explore and play, while others need a little extra patience and reassurance before they feel settled. I take the time to learn about each dog’s personality, usual routine, likes, dislikes and individual needs so that I can help them feel safe, comfortable and completely at home. I am home throughout the day, meaning my guests receive plenty of company, attention and supervision without being left alone for long periods. I also have a huge, fully enclosed back garden where dogs can safely stretch their legs, play, sniff, explore or find a sunny spot for an afternoon snooze. My resident dog is Shelby, a wonderfully calm and chilled German Shepherd who is accustomed to sharing her home with visiting dogs. Her relaxed nature helps make my home feel welcoming, whether a guest wants a playmate or prefers to enjoy their own space. I am also first-aid trained, giving owners additional reassurance that their dog is being cared for by responsible and experienced hands. Most importantly, I understand how much trust it takes to leave a much-loved family member with somebody else. I provide the same love, patience and care that I would want for Shelby, creating a genuine home-from-home experience filled with attention, playtime, affection and plenty of wagging tails. I am home throughout the day, so my schedule is flexible and dogs receive plenty of company, attention, playtime and supervised garden time. I aim to follow each dog’s normal routine, including their usual mealtimes, exercise, rest and bedtime, helping them settle in and feel at home. I have six years of home-boarding experience and am first-aid trained. My home provides a calm, loving environment with a huge, fully enclosed back garden for safe play and exploration. Visiting dogs are carefully introduced to Shelby, my relaxed German Shepherd, and I follow every owner’s care instructions closely.

“Sophie and Ashley are fantastic! Koda loves coming to their place and running around with Riley. We use them frequently and would highly recommend them :)”

“Our Border Collie is lovely, but typical of his breed. He herds everything, pulls like a train on the lead at cars, and struggles to find his off switch. John has mountains of experience with dogs and despite knowing all the potential challenges, he happily took Jackson on while we were away for the weekend. We felt totally assured that John would be able to deal with whatever Jackson couls throw at him and we were really pleased to hear thay the most mischief he managed was stealing sofa cushions and taking them into the garden for attention. John has a lovely home, a safe enclosed garden space, he is flexible and reasonable with drop off and pick up times, and we highly recommend him to give your dog the care they need.”

About: All my life I have had dogs and cats and I would not have it any other way. A home is not a home unless it has pets. They bring so much joy, love and they are all so unique. I currently have a Labrador (Roxy) who is super friendly and 2 cats. We can tailor the walk to your dog's need, long or short, it can either be where there are lots of others dogs if that's what your dog likes or it can be a much quieter walk in the countryside. Your pet’s well-being, safety, and daily routine are my highest priorities, and I’m always happy to follow any specific care instructions you share.I can do short or long house sitting stay. As I have cats I can not offer to have your pet in my house overnight but I can offer short stays in the day. I am fully insured and will shortly be taking on a pet's first aid course. I can be available every week day and weekend with plenty of notice. I will on occasion be doing the walks with my dog providing yours is happy with that. She is super friendly. My pets get the best care. They get fed as soon as I get up and that is before I make myself a cuppa. My dog gets at least 2 hours walk everyday and loves playing with her ball. As we have cats I can not offer overnight stay at my house but I can accomodate short stays in the day.

“Elton had a great time staying with Pedro and his family. He was well cared for and we were updated with how he was getting on. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Pedro. Thanks so much.”

“I’m so pleased to have met Jackie and her family, absolutely lovely caring people. I instantly felt at ease leaving my little Pom cross Evie with them and overnight. I had such lovely photos and updates. I could instantly tell Evie had a wonderful time and was taken care of. I have already rebooked.”

About: Daily routine care for my pet rabbit and experience with cat sitting and occasional dog sitting for friends and family. I have also had various small pets previously. I’ve recently left education and am now working part-time with minimal commitments through the week so I am available for both long and short stays! I love animals and give them my full attention and respect, lots of hugs and cuddles! I’m quite active and hyper aware of my surroundings meaning that I’m always looking out for anything that would put me or the pets in harms way.

“My experience with Lidiya and her family was absolutely outstanding! While we were on holiday abroad, Lidiya and her family welcomed our beloved Honey into their home with open arms. Honey had an incredible time playing with their friendly Labrador, which made her stay even more enjoyable. Lidiya's thoughtful provision of a dog tag with her contact details gave us immense peace of mind, knowing that Honey was always safe. The lovely family house and the warm, caring environment they provided made Honey feel right at home. We received daily updates with lots of pictures, which reassured us and kept us connected with Honey throughout our trip. The consistent communication and the loving care they showed were truly exceptional. Overall, Honey had an amazing time with Lidiya and her family, and we couldn't be happier with the experience. We highly recommend Lidiya's dog sitting service to anyone seeking a reliable, caring, and thoughtful pet sitter. Thank you, Lidiya and family, for taking such wonderful care of Honey! 🐾”

“Teresa was so accommodating with our last minute booking for Winnie. She sent pictures and updates daily and kept in touch the whole time! She let us make sure Winnie was settled before we left her and when our flight was delayed over 3 hours getting home, she was accommodating with that too! We could tell Winnie had lots of fun and was really happy staying with Teresa, I can’t recommend her enough :)”

“Hamish was really happy at Mandie’s house, she made him feel really welcome. We felt safe leaving him there and he had a great time with the other dogs. Thank Mandie 😊”

“Molly stayed with Denise while we were away and had the most wonderful time. It was such a relief knowing she was being so well looked after, loved and cared for. Denise kept us updated and we could see that Molly was completely happy and comfortable with her. Denise also groomed Molly during her stay and did an absolutely amazing job, she looked beautiful when we collected her! You can really tell how much Denise loves dogs and how experienced and caring she is with them. We came home to a very happy, beautifully groomed Molly! 🐾❤️ We will definitely be booking with Denise again and would recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can completely trust with their dog. Thank you so much, Denise!”

About: I have owned animals my whole life and always had a passion for them, I studied animal care in college and worked on a petting farm for 3 years. I am confident dealing with most animals! I am at home for a lot of the week so I have plenty of time for playing, training or just relaxing with your pet! My garden has a fence and I have a cat who is usually out most of the time and likes to keep herself to herself!

It really is a home away from home ! Stormi had fun with bubbles and treats ! Thank you Alice ! 100% recommend !”

“Yasmin is a fantastic choice to look after your doggos! My two dogs stayed with her for a week, but we first had a quick meet-up a few weeks beforehand so they (and I) could get to know her. When I dropped them off for their stay, it was clear she’d already made a great impression — they were so excited to see her again! There were no issues at all during their stay. Yasmin kept in touch throughout the week with a lovely stream of photos and updates from their various adventures — both around her flat and on their walks around the racecourse — which was so reassuring. When I picked them up, both Nova (a medium-sized Labradoodle) and Roxy (a small Cockapoo) were happy, healthy, freshly bathed, well-fed, and delightfully exhausted after a week of walks, pampering, and cuddles. Thank you, Yasmin — from me, Nova, and Roxy! 🐾”
