Dog Boarding in Rugby

About: A caring family that have a love for animals. My wife and I have had dogs all of our lives and are excited to welcome your dogs in to ours too. We unfortunately lost our much loved dog last year and have since been caring for our families pets during breaks and holidays. We loved the joy these moments bring us. At least one of us is always home all day and the company of an animal makes every day better. Our back garden will offer ample toilet and play opportunities. I am home all day during the week. My children will be at school between 09:00 - 15:30. My children are animal lovers too and are responsible around them. We have a lovely fenced garden that can offer toilet and play opportunities for your animals. I also have years of experience in walking dogs.

“Amy came to our rescue and looked after Ted overnight. I was a bit worried as he’d not stayed with her before but I needn’t have been as Amy was amazing with him. Ted had a fab time, was so well looked after and I was put at ease. Highly recommend Amy, 5 stars from us both!”

“We recently left our dog Charlie in Colin’s care for two nights, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. We were specifically looking for someone who offers one-to-one care, and Colin was absolutely perfect. From the very beginning, he was professional, friendly, and clearly passionate about looking after dogs. Knowing our dog would receive individual attention rather than being in a group setting made a huge difference to us. Colin kept us updated throughout the stay with messages and photos, which gave us real peace of mind. It was clear Charlie was not only well looked after but also happy, relaxed, and getting plenty of attention and care. When we picked Charlie up, he was calm, content, and clearly had been treated like part of the family. It’s such a relief to know we have someone we can fully trust. We’re so impressed that Charlie is already booked in for another stay during our next holiday, which says it all! We would highly recommend Colin’s dog boarding service to anyone looking for a safe, caring, one-to-one, and reliable place for their pet. We’ll definitely be booking again in the future!”

“Chewie loved his stay with Katie. It was clear Katie was very confident with him, and he immediately seemed chilled and at home. Katie was great with communication before and during Chewie’s stay and we will definitely look to use her for dog-sitting again. Thank you 😊”

“I needed a dog sitter just for two days while we are attending an event in Rugby. Laura was very accommodating accepting us. Great communication, kept me informed and most importantly Bagel was feeling like home during the stay. Thanks Laura!”

“Nataly was the perfect sitter. She ensured Simba was cared for and walked. He enjoyed his stay and got along well with Nataly and relaxed at her home. Would recommend to anyone.”

“Gemma and Will were genuinely excited to welcome our Frenchie 'Chopper' into their home. A lovely friendly environment for him to play and relax. This would be Choppers first time away from the family home so naturally I was a little anxious about how he would settle in with Gemma and Will. It turns out my fears were unfounded and he settled in straight away. I had a little smile in the morning when I went to collect Chopper, Will appeared to answer the door followed a few seconds later by Chopper :) happily trotting after him. I believe Chopper enjoyed his stay with Gemma and Will and I look forward to sharing Chopper with them again in the very near future.”

“Another great holiday for Tashi. She has the best time when with Eri and her family. We're always kept up to date with tons of photos and videos of their adventures together. Thank you for taking such great care of her ❤️”

“Sharon took wonderful care of my dog, Ari. She really took the time to understand Ari’s needs and made sure he felt comfortable and happy during his stay. Her communication was good. Sharon kept me updated throughout, which gave me great peace of mind. I’m grateful for the care she provided, and I will definitely continue to use Sharon’s services in the future. Highly recommend!”

“Astrid made our dog, Snoopy feel very at home - going the extra mile on his birthday with special birthday cookies and a little pressie! You treated Snoopy like he’s your own and he loved every second with you. Thank you very much!”

“Our Ted, has come back home after 9 days. Smelling nice and clean. Super calm and having made friends with Gary’s 3 beautiful dogs and Mia the cat. Thank you so very much Gary & Sue”

Robina L.

“Absolutely wonderful stay with Meghna and family, in their lovely home. Snoopy was showered with love, taken for day trips and had the best time with adorable little Tyson. We will definitely be booking in for more dog care again soon!”

About: I’ve been looking after dogs for friends and family for years, often for extended periods while they’re away on holiday. It’s not just quick check-ins, I regularly have dogs for full weeks at a time, so I’m very used to taking on full responsibility for their care and routine. I’ve cared for a mix of breeds, sizes, and personalities, from energetic dogs that need plenty of exercise and stimulation, to more relaxed or older dogs who prefer a slower pace and lots of comfort. What sets me apart is how naturally this fits into my lifestyle. I genuinely enjoy having dogs around, so they’re not just being “looked after”, they’re part of a calm, safe, and friendly environment where they get plenty of attention, affection, and consistency. I’m confident sticking to feeding schedules, walks, and any specific routines your dog is used to, and I understand how important it is for them to feel settled while you’re away. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos so you know they’re happy and in good hands. I run my own business from home, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to prioritise pet care throughout the day. This means I can offer regular check-ins, walks, feeding, and plenty of quality time with your pet rather than just quick visits. Whether your dog needs exercise and routine, or your cat prefers a calm presence and consistency, I can easily adapt my schedule to suit them. Because I’m not tied to fixed working hours, I’m able to provide reliable, attentive care and be responsive to your pet’s needs. I care for pets in their own home where they feel most comfortable and secure. I understand how important routine and environment are, especially for cats, and I make sure to keep everything as familiar and stress-free as possible. With lifelong experience caring for animals, including breeding cats and currently caring for a 15-year-old cat, I’m confident handling a range of needs from energetic dogs to more independent or senior pets. I’m comfortable following specific routines, including feeding, walking, litter care, and administering medication if required. I always take the time to understand each pet’s personality so they feel safe and settled. I treat every home with respect and every pet as if they were my own. You’ll receive regular updates and photos, so you can relax knowing they’re in experienced, trustworthy hands.

“Natalia was amazing with our 11 month old Rottweiler Bruce. He instantly was welcomed into such a calm environment. We were super nervous about leaving him for the first time. But we honestly felt so at ease leaving him with Natalia - he has come back home super chilled and tired. Highly recommend! Thank you so much again!”

“Hannah was good with Molly🐾, who is anxious and excitable. Her dog, Hunter, was a gentleman with her. Yesterday was a trial run for them all and I hope Hannah will have Molly🐾 again because having someone calm and competent as a sitter is a great support.”

“Shruthinaya and her partner would fantastic, taking on Cody at short notice and looking after him so well for me. He was clearly happy and settled all weekend and they provided plenty of photos and updates. I have no hesitation in recommending. Thank you guys.”

“Our first time leaving Gracie our retriever with Rayya. Very happy with her stay. Gracie had an ear infection which meant Rayya had to give Gracie extra care and attention which she did happily. Look forward to Gracie’s next stay, thank you!”

About: I’ve had dogs all my life and have hands-on experience caring for a variety of breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I offer home boarding, daycare, and pop-in visits, always making sure each dog feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I have two friendly, well-socialised dogs of my own—a Springer Spaniel (Woody) and a Sprocker (Hugo)—who are used to being around other dogs. I also have two children (aged 10 and 6) who are gentle and respectful with animals. Because of this, I only accept dogs that are friendly and comfortable around both children and other dogs. Your dog will be welcomed into a loving family home with plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship. I treat every dog as if they were my own and aim to provide a calm, safe, and happy environment while you’re away, with regular updates for your peace of mind We both have flexible jobs, which means one of us is often at home and able to give your dog plenty of attention, exercise, and care throughout the day. Dogs may be left for short periods when needed, so they should be comfortable being alone for a little while. Our daily routine includes lots of walks, playtime, and plenty of fuss alongside our own dogs, so your dog will be part of a happy, active home environment. We provide a safe, loving home with a secure fenced garden for outdoor play. We have two friendly, well-socialised dogs who are used to having other dogs around and help new dogs settle in. All dogs are supervised carefully, with calm introductions to make sure everyone is comfortable. We’re happy to follow your dog’s usual routine, including feeding, exercise, and any specific needs, and can crate if required. Our home is clean, relaxed, and focused on making sure your dog feels safe, happy, and well cared for.

“Wala was very responsive when, at relatively short notice, we needed someone to look after our two cocker spaniels, Tripp and Tobi. Importantly, all the administration and scheduling was clear and precise. The dogs were afforded plenty of time to settle into their warm and very welcoming environment before I departed. They were relaxed, happy and content when I picked them up. Wala and Tony clearly have a lot of experience with dogs of all natures and it was a pleasure to make their acquaintance. Thoroughly recommended.”

About: At our farmhouse, dogs aren't just guests—they are the centre of our life! We live in a spacious home surrounded by open fields, offering the ultimate retreat for your furry friend. Whether your dog loves to sprint through meadows or prefers a quiet sniff around the lanes, we have the perfect environment for them. • Secure Exercise: We have private, enclosed dog paddocks on-site, allowing for safe, off-lead running and play without any worry. • Professional Expertise: My husband is a professional dog trainer, meaning we are deeply experienced in reading dog body language and managing various temperaments. • Quiet Countryside Walks: We are tucked away from the hustle and bustle, with access to beautiful, peaceful local walks right on our doorstep. • Constant Company: I am home for the majority of the day. Your dog will be integrated into our daily farm life, receiving plenty of attention, play, and supervision. Our Resident Pack Your pup will be joining our friendly and diverse trio: • Mouse: Our energetic Working Cocker Spaniel (always ready for a game). • Enzo: Our loyal German Shepherd family protection dog. • Ruby: Our lovely, "very lazy" Bulldog (the master of nap time). A True Home-Away-From-Home We understand that leaving your dog is a big deal. Because we have a toddler, we maintain a calm, structured, and clean environment. We are used to looking after multiple dogs at once and pride ourselves on providing a high-energy outdoor lifestyle balanced with cozy evenings by the fire. Whether your dog needs a high-intensity weekend of exercise or a relaxed stay in the country, we can’t wait to welcome them to the family! Our daily life is built entirely around the needs of our dogs. Because of our staggered work schedules, our home is almost never empty. My husband works during the day, and I work in the evenings, meaning there is nearly always a human on-site to provide attention, play, and security. • Frequent Fresh Air: We utilise our three AstroTurf paddocks and our large grass paddock throughout the day. Dogs are let out every two hours for toilet breaks, stretching their legs, and supervised play. • Countryside Adventures: In addition to paddock time, we head out for one or two long countryside walks daily to enjoy the local scenery and fresh air. • Seamless Supervision: I am home throughout the day with the pack. Our dogs are only ever left for a short window (typically between 3 PM – 5 PM) during the "handover" when I head to work and my husband returns home. • Evening Wind-Down: Evenings are spent in the farmhouse where the dogs can relax after an active day. Availability We offer boarding 7 days a week (weekdays and weekends). Because we have a structured routine with our own three dogs, guest dogs slot right into our "farmhouse family" life with ease! • Double-Gated Security: Our entire property is enclosed by a secure perimeter fence. • Paddocks: We have four dedicated, high-fence paddocks (three AstroTurf and one large grass) where dogs can exercise off-lead in a completely controlled environment. • Zoned Living: Inside the house, we utilise a "crate and rotate" or separated living style. We keep our own three dogs in separate areas of the home when necessary to ensure guest dogs have their own space to relax and decompress without feeling overwhelmed. Professional Management: • Expert Oversight: With a professional dog trainer in the house, we are experts at reading canine body language. We never leave guest dogs unsupervised with our own pack or our toddler. • Individual Care: We have various sizes of crates available if your dog is crate-trained and prefers their own "bedroom" for sleeping or mealtimes. • Safe Walking: When we leave the property for countryside walks, we use high-quality leads and remain in quiet, low-traffic areas to keep stress levels low. Trust & Peace of Mind: Because I am home during the day and my husband is home in the evenings, your pet is monitored around the clock. We are used to managing multiple dogs and understand the importance of routine, clear boundaries, and lots of supervised fun!
