Dog Boarding Shildon

“Liam and Hannah had our little westie Daisy for 2 weeks why we all went on a big family holiday and all I can say is Daisy is very depressed being at home she much prefers being with Liam, Hannah and Beau! We can not thank you enough for having her and will definitely be coming back next year if I could give more than 5 stars then I would 100%! Of course the star of the show Beau! What an amazing boy he is Daisy is most definitely missing him he's such a kind beautiful natured boy I would also highly recommend his dog buddy services!”

“Nicola was so welcoming! She arranged to meet us before we confirmed if we were comfortable booking with her, where she allowed us into her home with our a dog so we could see the space for ourselves. She was so kind and caring for our dog who was only staying away from us for the 2nd time. She sent constant photos of him being happy during his stay and even went out of her way to take him to the river. We couldn't recommend her enough and she will always be an option for us going forward if we are ever in need of a sitter again. Thank you Nicola for making our Arnie feel at home”

“Brilliant service! Kobi had the best time with the Yana and their dog. Kobi made best of friends with them. I had updates throughout Kobi’s stay which was reassuring. He is now back with me and a very sleepy boy showing he has been walked well! Which is hard to achieve with a Border Collie. Thank you Yana and to your partner and pup also! I will be returning for future visits with Kobi x”

“Eva was the first person outside of my immediate family to look after Otis, so I was a little nervous ahead of booking. Eva offered a meet up and it was very reassuring to see her home and she immediately put me at ease. Otis had a great couple of days with her - he particularly enjoyed her wonderful garden; exploring it kept him very entertained! Eva provided regular updates and sent photos, which were much appreciated. She was very patient with him when he was a little apprehensive of her stairs (the stairs are fine - he is just a little scared of stairs in general!). She took great care of him and followed our routines at home. I would not hesitate to use Eva again and would highly recommend her to others (especially those who are a little apprehensive about leaving their previous pup!).”

“Ella was absolutely fantastic with Shadow! I reached out to her at very short notice for a couple of nights, and she was incredibly accommodating, even allowing me to drop him off later in the evening after work. During his stay, she kept me updated with an amazing 'photo dump' showing Shadow having the best time playing fetch. It gave me such peace of mind knowing he was settling well at night and getting lots of love and cuddles. I highly recommend Ella to anyone looking for a reliable, caring dog sitter. Shadow will definitely be back!”

“My boy Charlie spent 2 days with Alana while I was away with work. We had a meet and greet beforehand to make sure the dogs got on well together. Then I dropped Charlie off for his stay and I was pleased to receive updates letting me know how he was getting on and photos to show he was enjoying himself! Alana was friendly and easy to communicate with. I’d definitely recommend!”

About: Dogs have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember, and caring for them is something that comes naturally to me. As well as having dogs of my own, I have professional experience working in animal kennels, where I cared for dogs and cats of all different breeds, sizes, ages and personalities. I currently have a French Bulldog of my own, so I know first-hand that every breed has its own individual needs. I’m particularly familiar with brachycephalic breeds and understand the extra care they can require when it comes to exercise, warmer weather, breathing and knowing when they’ve had enough. My kennel experience has made me confident around all kinds of dogs, from smaller or more nervous dogs that need a little extra patience and reassurance, to large, energetic breeds that love plenty of exercise. I’m very active myself, so I’m more than happy with long walks, energetic dogs and lots of playtime! I also hold an Enhanced DBS check, so owners can have that extra peace of mind when trusting me with not only their much loved pet, but their home too. Most importantly, I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in somebody else’s care. I’ll take the time to get to know their personality and routine and make sure they feel safe, happy and loved while you’re away. Your pet won’t just be looked after they’ll be treated like one of my own. I currently work part-time, which gives me plenty of time to dedicate to caring for your pets. I’m available around my working hours during the week and have more flexibility at weekends. I’m very active, so walks, playtime and keeping energetic dogs entertained fit naturally into my routine. I’m also happy to work around your pet’s usual routine as much as possible. Your pet’s safety and comfort will always come first. I understand that every animal has their own personality, routine and individual needs, so I’ll always follow the care instructions you provide. My previous kennel experience means I’m confident caring for different breeds, sizes and temperaments. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or taking them out for walks, they’ll be treated with the same care, patience and attention I give my own. I also hold an Enhanced DBS check, so owners can have that extra peace of mind when trusting me with not only their much loved pet, but their home too.

About: I have grown up with a household full all animals ranging from insects, rodents, cats and dogs. I have looked after and walked dogs since I was 15, and have owned dogs for the last 13 years. I have always had a passion for animals and hold an honors degree in animal behaviour. I have always rescued dogs (greyhounds) and take on the older ones with behavioural or health challenges. I have a lot of experience with older dogs and dogs that come with additional care requirements. I have completed dog first aid, cared for dogs with severe injuries and health issues ranging from dog attacks to advanced cancers, organ failure and spinal issues. I am very experienced in administering medications for unwell animals and a dab hand with vet-wrap for those clumsier pups (side effect of owning sighthounds). I work full time, however I will be taking your dogs into work with me where it is a dog friendly environment. They will receive 24hr care. There are fields and woodlands nearby for walks. I will tailor my care for you pets. I have a good size house with a fully fenced garden. The fence is 6ft so they will be secure. Your pets will be able to roam free, however I do have a crate for any animals that prefer to sleep in them or younger ones that might need time outs to continue crate training.

“My dog had the best time with Amanda she sent me photos and messages daily to keep me Informed of how he was settling in. She provided a great safe fun and secure space I would 100% recommend her.”

“Our two dogs settled really quickly in Kate's home. It was the first time we'd left them anywhere overnight and we felt happy and relaxed that they were in good, safe, caring hands. Would definitely recommend 🩷🩷”

Kathrine J.

“This was our first time using a dog sitter, and I was a little nervous, but Brianna was fantastic. She took great care of our dog Betsy, kept me updated with messages and photos, and made the whole experience stress-free. My dog was happy and well looked after. I would definitely recommend her and would happily book with her again. Thank you!”

About: I've always loved dogs and rescued my own dog in Spain over 2 years ago. I have first-hand experience of building trust, patience and creating a safe, loving environment. As a primary school teacher, a nurturing approach to little personalities comes naturally to me. 🐾 Your dog's safety and wellbeing will always be my priority. I'll care for your dog as if they were my own and keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages, so you can relax knowing they're in safe and loving hands. 🫶🏽🐾 📅I have availability for dog walking in the evenings and at weekends. I will always do my best to align my availability to your schedule.🐾 🏡 I can offer drop-ins tailored to you to check in on your fur baby while you are away, making sure they are safe and happy. 🕐30 minute walks can be on 1:1 basis, or if you prefer your dog to have some socialisation and play time, my own friendly dog can join us. 🐕‍🦺 These walks can take place in your local area, nearby woodlands or nearby parks. 🕐For 60-minute walks, and with your permission, your dog will join me on suitable fun-filled adventures further afield🚗. Please note that my own friendly, well-socialised dog will always accompany 60 minute walks, so this option is best suited to dogs who enjoy the company of other dogs. 🐕‍🦺🦮 🏡Your dog can board in my home at weekends. They will be treated as part of the family. My own dog is friendly and very energetic/playful. He is willing to share his home with other loving dogs. When dogs stay with me, you can count on an adventure - hiking, forest walks, trips to the beach etc.🌳🌊 I also have a fenced, medium-sized garden, so the dogs will get plenty of opportunities for toilet breaks and outdoor play throughout the day. Your dog's safety and wellbeing will always come first. I have an enhanced DBS check through my role in education, so you can feel confident welcoming me into your home. I'll follow your instructions carefully, respect your home, and stick to your dog's usual routine.

“When you leave your dog with someone it is always a worry, however Peter was great and looked after our little girl so well. He gave us updates and photos during her stay too. Would not hesitate to leave Tina with him again.”

Stephen G.

“Delphi had a brilliant stay and didn’t want to leave! The photo and video updates were much appreciated- you could tell how happy she was. Communication from the first enquiry was excellent. I highly recommend William for dog boarding and Delphi’s next stay is already booked.”

“Blu has had the most amazing long weekend with Georgia and her family! He was treat as one of her own pets and given so much love throughout his stay! I was kept updated all weekend with photos and videos and it was clear to see how much Blu was well cared for. I would recommend Georgia 10/10, it felt like he went from home to home and Blu cannot wait for his next stay :) thank you so so much! Xxx”
