Dog Boarding in South Derbyshire

“Hannah and her partner did a fantastic job of looking after Mabel for us. She settled in quickly and very much enjoyed all of the attention she received. Communication was superb and we felt very comfortable leaving Mabel with Hannah and Ted, knowing she was being very well looked after. We hope to be able to board Mabel with them again in the near future.”

“This was my first time using Rover and I'm glad I did! Kinga and Luna made Bear feel very welcome, lots of playing, walking and fussing. Kinga kept me updated throughout the whole stay and I would definitely book with her again, thank you so much!”

“Having a business function 5 hours from home and needing to find suitable care for our needy French Bulldog was potentially stressful. So glad we found Cathryn and her wonderfully calming approach. She (and her husband) were super accommodating, communicative, helpful, reassuring. Instantly connecting with Merlin when we dropped him off, and sending photos and messages throughout the evening to reassure. When we are in Staffs again and need repeat care, we will be 100% returning to Cathryn. Highly recommended!!”

“Molly had a lovely Christmas break with Linda and Rob. They were very welcoming and Molly was comfortable straight away. Linda was very patient with me whilst I was making Christmas plans and her communication was great. If we lived closer would definitely use again!”

“David & Jo were amazing hosts again, Jimmy thoroughly enjoys his visits and we can relax safe in the knowledge that our pride & joy is very well looked after. Thank you”

“Freddie had the perfect stay. It’s always worrying when using someone new but Samantha and her husband was so friendly and asked lots of questions about Freddie which was reassuring that they were making sure they knew things about Freddie to make his stay perfect. The updates were also very much appreciated. The resident dog, Eddie was perfect for Freddie and gave him space. Hopefully Freddie will become a regular visitor as will not hesitate to use Samatha again.”

About: I've grown up with cats, dogs and other pets - I truly love all animals and will take the best care of your fur-baby. I have worked with rescue, feral and shelter pets before, and I have taken part in dog agility classes and basic dog training. I am happy to wash/bathe/groom your pooch if required, same goes for cats. I work from home during week days, so I will be on-hand for your pets care, needs and attentions day and night! My work is flexible, so I can start and stop as needed, meaning I can provide them with their required attention - whether that's playing, fussing, or giving them space to chillax and snooze. I have a fenced garden, a small secure catio for cats and live with my friendly house cat Binx who is my fur baby; he loves to play, but if your pet isn't keen on playing then Binx picks-up the cues and will take himself somewhere out of the way. I understand separation can be hard on your fur baby, so I will try and make them feel as safe, loved and tended to as possible. I am used to being woken in the night by Binx, who sometimes panics and starts meowing for me - so I understand there may be some reassuring and extra attention required.

“Venetia and Chris were amazing, Roche was very well looked after. Even from the meet and greet to picking him up they listened to all his needs and he really enjoyed his stay there for 8 nights. They already knew a lot about dogs but still did research on his breed to cater for him specifically and gave regular updates on him. We cannot recommend them enough, thanks again.”

“Molly and her family did a wonderful job looking after our Rocky, daily updates on how he’s doing with photos and videos were all received with pure joy. Will continue to use molly in the future for all of Rocky’s future staycations”

“Heather and family gave Marley a lovely ‘mini break’ and I could see he was relaxed and happy when I collected him. They are so friendly and easy to talk to. Heather sent several photos and videos of his stay and reassured me, as Marley can be quite nervous in new situations. He had plenty of entertainment, safe space to roam around in at their home and walks. Thanks so much Heather I will definitely be booking again.”

“Janny took a last minute booking from me a couple of days before when I had been let down for care for my spaniel Charlie. I was kept in the loop during the 2 days she looked after him for me and sent me regular updates reassuring me he was happy and comfortable despite it being his first time staying with them! He loved playing with Rosy and it’s a relief to have this service on my door step for when I need. Would definitely book again, thank you Janny xx”

“I could not recommend Dina and her little dog Daisy enough ☺️ We did a meet and greet prior to my holiday just to make sure the dogs would get on ok. I knew there would be no issues and was more than happy for my dog to be looked after by Dina. Dina kept me updated with photos throughout the week and I could tell my dog was having a lovely time and was very happy with her surroundings. My dog is 15 so can have days where she’s a little more tired than others but everything was accommodated. A perfect little holiday for my pooch ☺️ 🐾”

About: **I have hands-on experience with dogs, cats and other small pets through dog grooming, pet retail, animal welfare support, and personal pet ownership. I currently share my home with two friendly dogs and two cats, and I regularly care for friends' pets. I'm confident handling pets with a wide range of personalities and needs and I take a calm, patient approach to help them feel safe, comfortable, and secure.** **My experience includes helping to rehome animals, supporting local welfare initiatives, and working alongside a veterinary practice on animal welfare and community education projects. I'm DBS checked, trained in pet first aid through professional grooming courses, and committed to providing the same level of care and attention I'd want for my own pets.** **As a qualified dog groomer, I can also offer puppy introduction sessions, bath-and-tidy appointments, and full grooms during your dog's stay. Grooming sessions are tailored to each dog and carried out at a relaxed pace, with plenty of breaks and positive reinforcement to keep the experience as enjoyable and stress-free as possible.** **To provide the best experience for every guest, I only accept small dogs who are friendly with cats and comfortable in a home environment. My goal is to create a true home-from-home where dogs can relax, play, enjoy companionship, and feel part of the family while you're away. Whether your dog loves adventures, playtime, cuddles on the sofa, or simply a quiet place to unwind, they'll receive plenty of individual attention, affection, and care.** **I want every dog who stays with me to be excited to come back—a place where they can have fun, feel safe, and enjoy their own little holiday while you enjoy yours. We are lucky to have great walks on our doorstep and are frequent visitors of secure doggy parks nearby so no dogs will be bored here!** I work from home, so I'm here throughout the day. Pets staying with us become part of our daily life, rather than being left alone for long periods. Walks, playtime, cuddles, rest breaks, and any grooming appointments can be tailored around each dog’s individual needs and routine. I live with two small, friendly dogs and two cats in a home with secure, fenced front and back gardens, with a gate between them for flexibility. The house is at the end of a private driveway, with no streets directly outside, and fields nearby with plenty of wildlife to observe. I only accept small dogs who are comfortable around cats and enjoy a home environment. I want dogs staying with me to feel as though they’re on holiday rather than in kennels. I can quickly separate dogs if needed, keep pets separate for meals or rest time, and follow any routines or instructions owners provide. Having worked with many different animals, including nervous and rescue pets, I’m happy to go at their pace and help them settle in comfortably.

About: I’ve cared for animals since I was young, and I have always been passionate about their health, mental well-being, and nurturing to ensure they have the best quality of life. I work primarily from home, typical office hours, and have a flexible schedule to be able to work around the needs of dogs walking & feeding schedule. I have a fenced garden, and the park is nearby for long walks or quick toilet breaks. Flexible regarding the doog's feeding & walking schedule
