Dog Boarding Steeple Bumpstead

“This was my dog’s first stay with Rosy and Rich. We had a visit prior to the booking so we could all get to know each other. Rosy and Rich are 100% dedicated to what they do. I felt reassured that Bess would be cared for, just like being at home, as they were attentive to every bit of information I gave them. Their home and garden are clearly ‘dog friendly’ and you can see how much they adore dogs and caring for them. We had no hesitations in choosing them to care for ‘Bess’ The communication whilst on holiday was what we had asked for. Rosy was happy to send photos, and messages, and had to check something with me whilst away, but we had agreed she could message me anytime if worried about anything which I found very reassuring. We had a great holiday with the reassurance Bess was having a holiday of her own! Thank you Rosy and Rich 🙂”

“I can’t rate Zy highly enough. We were travelling to meet friends and needed someone to leave our dog with for the night. Zy met us on FaceTime and was so easy to communicate with. Max obviously had the best time in the most gorgeous rural location. Just wish we lived closer so she coukd look after him regularly! Thank you 😊”

“Chloe was absolutely amazing from start to finish! Communication was fantastic and so helpful! Roxy our German shepherd isn't the easiest but Chloe made me feel confident and comfortable leaving her and did a fantastic job with her and us keeping us up to date with how she was doing! I highly recommend and would definitely use again! 😊”

“Our 3rd time using Lisa for both of our dogs and could not be happier with every aspect of the dogs care, updates from Lisa & how happy our dogs were to see Lisa! Couldn’t recommend enough 😊”

Kasie H.

“Jess was great, very responsive and really attentive to quite the nervous dog. She went out of her way to make sure our dog was well cared for and gave us regular updates. Would definitely use her again and can't thank her and her partner enough for the care provided.”

Joe C.

“I’ve never used a dog sitter before but straight away Alix made me feel at ease. She was fantastic, daily updates as requested helped reassure me the dogs were having a good a holiday as I was. Pictures of them being walked and so on, think the dogs will be bored back at home.When I collected the boys after their fortnight with Alix, they were happy and content. Couldn’t recommend Alix enough. Will certainly use her for future holidays when I need the dogs taken care off. Thank you!!”

“Our Toy Poodle Ralphie had an amazing week. He was treated to some lovely walked, baths, and lots of love by the looks of the many pictures and videos provided. The fact he got to play with Milo (toy poodle also) was just lovely and they looked like they got on amazingly. A lovely house and safe environment for the dogs was also perfect. Thanks guys so much for looking after Ralphie and we’ll definitely use you again. Rudi and Nelly x”

“Karen took care of our dog Honey overnight and we are very happy with her service. She is very passionate and caring, lovely home with a large garden. Her dog Bodie was a complete gentlemen and Honey made a friend along the way. We received regular updates and will definitely book in the future. We felt honey was left in a safe and caring environment thank you :)”

“We are so grateful to Vicky & Amber for hosting our lovely Mini during our vacation! It’s been last minute request and all went so well at the end! Mini was taken a good care, with daily photos and videos shared with us. We were so pleased to see her enjoying her time and lots of play with Mowgli mastering tug of war 😆🐾”

Natalya R.

“Kyra had a lovely time & was disappointed to be home with us after her week with Paul!! Would have no hesitation to recommend Paul for any dog sitting.”

Claire W.

“I couldnt recommend Lilly and her family more highly to be trusted with your pet. Her warm and friendly nature with pets and their humans makes everyone feel comfortable. My pet certainly made herself at home with her! The frequent updates and photos are appreciated and I am already booking in with Lilly again.”

Chloe R.

“Inga and family took great care of Lola, I would highly recommend, we got lots of photos and updates, Lola was very happy with the family. I would definitely book Inga in the future.”

About: Hello! My name is Aleksandra (or Sasha), and I’m a huge dog lover with plenty of hands-on experience caring for dogs. As a dog owner myself, I know how difficult it can be to find someone you truly trust to look after your beloved furry family member, so I’m always happy to answer any questions you may have about me or my experience. I have a 12-year-old dog whom I adopted from Japan over eight years ago, and I’ve also spent many years looking after other people’s dogs, whether hosting them in my home, doing drop-in visits, or taking them for walks. My dog has become a bit of a bossy and stubborn old lady, but she gets along well with other dogs, especially younger ones. I work as a scientist and have a flexible hybrid schedule, which means I can work from home several days a week and adjust my hours when needed. This allows me to check in on your dog, take them for walks during the day, or provide company while you’re away. I’ll always do my best to make sure your pup feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. Drop me a message and I will be happy to chat! I have a hybrid schedule and work from home 2-3 days a week. My office days are usually Monday and Thursday, but can be adjusted if needed. My weekends are usually free, so I can easily help out with walks, drop-in visits, or dog sitting when needed. I live in a secure apartment building, so any dogs staying with me will be in a safe and supervised environment. I only take on a limited number of dogs at a time so that I can give each one plenty of attention and make sure they feel comfortable. I’m also available for house sitting, drop-in visits and walks within Saffron Walden, and I’m happy to follow your dog’s usual routine as closely as possible. I have a 12-year-old dog who gets along well with most dogs, although she can be a little bossy sometimes. For that reason, I would prefer to arrange a first meeting in a neutral open space, such as a park area, before any stay in my home. I find that this helps dogs get to know each other more comfortably and makes the experience much smoother for everyone. I’ll always keep you updated with messages and photos, and I’ll make sure your dog is treated with the same care and attention that I give my own.

“Murray clearly had a great time staying with Lauren and her family and I'm pleased he had a holiday himself whilst we were off on ours! Lauren was very accommodating and sent lots of updates showing Murray out on big walks and lounging around as part of the family. Lauren will be top of our list next time we need a sitter.”

About: Hi! I’m a self-employed dog lover who works from home Monday–Friday, so I have plenty of time to give your dog lots of attention, playtime, walks and, of course, cuddles! I live in a spacious two-bedroom flat with my own dog, Vinny. While we don’t have a private garden, we do have a communal outdoor space for toilet breaks, and I make sure Vinny gets two 45-minute walks every day. We’re lucky to have plenty of lovely options nearby, from open fields and woodland to peaceful walks through the village. At home, life is nice and relaxed. Vinny is usually snoozing on the sofa, or happily working away at a frozen Kong or LickiMat. I’m happy to keep your dog’s usual routine as much as possible, whether they’re full of energy and love a good walk or are more of a professional sofa-snoozer! I’ve always loved animals and have had pets throughout my life, including dogs, rabbits and ducks. We’d love to have a second dog of our own one day, but in the meantime I’d love to welcome some local four-legged friends into our home and give them a safe, comfortable and loving place to stay. Your dog will be treated like one of the family, with plenty of company and attention throughout the day. I’d love to meet you and your pup and see if we’re a good match!

“Jess and Jack have been brilliant with my dog Benji. He always looks forward to staying with them. They are so reliable with times. I also get photos and updates on how he is doing. I feel he is well looked after, safe and played with when he stays with them.”

“I can’t thank Anne (and her husband Chris) enough for the devoted care they gave Bertie whilst I was on holiday. They looked after him so well, even administering medication where needed. I especially felt reassured by the great pictures they sent of Bertie enjoying his walks and resting afterwards! I certainly felt quite relaxed about Bertie being in a safe pair of hands. Thank you so much. Liz”

Elizabeth S.

“Amalia is friendly, approachable and put the needs of the pooches in her care first. I felt very reassured that my dog would be in good safe hands…. 😊🙌🏻🐾”

“Thank you Yhozmin & Uli for looking after Wilson. The picture you sent across showed he had a great time with you and the family. I would recommend the service to all!”
