Dog Boarding in Stockton-On-Tees

“5* doesn’t quite seem enough! If I could give 10* I would. I’ve just picked up my nearly 18yr old terrier, for her stay at Wendy’s and I was greeted by a very happy and contented little dog. The care that Wendy gave was nothing more than supreme. With my little dog being an older age, it can be difficult finding someone and leaving her with them, but on my meet and great with Wendy, I knew I had nothing to worry about. Throughout the sit Wendy kept me updated and I could clearly see my little dog was happy with Wendy. Thank you Wendy for caring for Betty as if she was your own, and giving me such peace of mind.”

About: I have been around dogs all my life, from big to small. I’ve looked after families dogs plenty of times, one which requires diabetic medication and care. In october 2024, I took on a dog that required extra care and attention due to anxiety and being abused as a pup. I work as a TA with flexible hours. Due to the nature of my job, I only work 1-3 days a week which means I can be readily available when needed. I have a large fenced garden with double doors that open onto it, and I am happy to leave the doors open for air flow and to allow the dog freedom of being inside or outside. I can crate if required.

“Dodger had a lovely stay with Jackie! Jackie was caring, very attentive and her own dog Oreo was the perfect host. Lovely lady! Dodger was a very happy pooch so would definitely book again!”

“What can I say from start to finish I have been absolutely thrilled with the service Sarah provided. Great communication throughout, doggy updates daily but most of all our dogs were truly made to feel at home and superbly looked after. I wouldn't hesitate to use Sarah again in a heartbeat”

“When we met Toby and Sarah at the meet and greet we were really impressed with how friendly and welcoming they were. Fezziwig took to them straight away..and when we dropped him off to stay with them he ran into their house with barely a goodbye! This was really reassuring for us as we set off on our holiday. Fezziwig has had the best time with Toby and Sarah and we have had lots of lovely photos of him whilst we were away. We would fully recommend them to care for your dog as they are both fully committed to providing excellent care. They really listen to what you want for your dog then go out of their way to deliver it. Fezziwig will no doubt be back to visit them again. Thank you both.”

About: • Understanding of dog body language and behavior • Skilled in positive reinforcement training • Confident handling reactive or nervous dogs • Experience with multi-dog environments • Ability to give medications or manage special diets • Safe off-lead play and recall in secure areas • Basic first aid for dogs I currently have a flexible working from home job allowing me to take my own dog on three walks per day in the nature reserve behind our house. Your dog will be able to join us and have my full presence throughout the day and evening. We have a large fenced garden which is great for exercise (especially our working cocker spaniel). We also have a separate fenced yard for dogs that would like a bit of downtime. Your dog will have the full run of the downstairs of our house, yard and garden all day every day. We cater for crate trained dogs and dogs who like to be free roaming, they’re free to make themself at home wherever they feel most comfortable. Aswell as our large garden, we have a lovely nature reserve directly behind our house meaning your dog will enjoy three or more walks per day (if they desire), allowing them to explore.

“Thank you so much, Frankie was very settled and he was clearly really well looked after. Very easy communication and made the whole process a breeze :)”

“Our Border collie, Flora, really liked Beth and seemed happy to stay with her. She can be anxious with new people and Beth was friendly and took the time to get to know her. During the stay she sent us messages and photos about how well Flora was settling in and this was very reassuring. She communicated with us very well.”

About: I’ve had experience with my grandmother’s dog as a teenager and I have helped look after friends’ dogs as well. I love dogs and would love to spend time with them I am a doctor but I get free days especially during weekends and after working long shifts. I would love to take care of pets during my free time I can take cats and small dogs in my house and spend time with them . I love caring for them. I have a big enough back yard for them to run around and play in.

“Having been let down by another sitter we found Andrew what impressed me was the personal write up on his profile, due to the fact we have 2 rescue dogs we thought Andrew’s previous experience would be perfect and this turned out to be correct Dexter & Holly have just returned after a one night trial and all has gone well, before booking this we went through with the dogs to see if we could introduce them and see how it went Due to Andrew’s perfect calm nature the dogs settled to our amazement really well and Holly fell in love with Andrew The overnight stay has gone well even though the dogs seemed more anxious when dropping off Dexter who we thought may be an issue settled straight away but through patients and staying away Holly settled after 2 hours I would highly recommend Andrew but reluctant as I don’t want him to become too busy so we can’t get back booked in 😂 It has been a pleasure dealing with Andrew and his lovely partner Sian we feel blessed to have found such a lovely caring perfect dog sitter and now booking up for our dogs when we go on Holiday Regards Colin & Nicky”

“Vincent and Elisia were brilliant in their care for my dog. Took the time to meet us in a park beforehand, and gave updates while she there. Totally recommend!”

Abigail K.

“Having never used a dog sitting/boarding service before I was slightly nervous about leaving our 2 dogs with a non family member and someone they were not used to - when we went to a family wedding . I need not have worried at all ! Booking was very straightforward and Christopher provided a lovely, safe and comfortable place for Sam & Max to stay . They played games, went for walks and we got photographs of their day . I did not worry about them at all after the first photo came through - they didn’t even look as if they were missing us ! I will certainly be asking Christopher to mind them again as we have another family wedding in November. It’s so good to have someone who cares and can look after your dogs as you can. So happy we used the service and found Christopher .”

“Emily and her partner looked after our dog for the weekend and they were absolutely amazing. He had the best time with them and their dog, and we had a no worries at all leaving him 🥰”

Anna P.

“We met Ana a few times before our holiday, a quick visit one day and a few weeks later we left him for a few hours. We could already see how settled he was with her. On our holidays we had several updates and pictures, Richard obviously had a lovely time. We highly recommend Ana, she obviously has a huge love of dogs, and if Richard is anything to go by they love her too.”
