Dog Boarding Stratton

“A home from home. Dale and Scott looked after Fergus like he was their own. They gave Fergus lots of love, cuddles and belly rubs. Their outside space is safe and secure and location is perfect for long safe walks off lead. We were sent regular photo updates of Fergus’s sleepover and fun he was having out and about.”

“Very friendly family! It’s my first time using a board and I was nervous about leaving my dogs! I got updates on how they were (treated like the family) and they were so genuinely caring towards my dogs! Would recommend to anyone! :)”

“Chloe was amazing. Looked after Rosie so well it was home from home. Rosie had a great time and we will definitely be booking her again soon. Thank you Chloe.”

“My labradoodle Davey had the most amazing time with Isabelle. She is a super-nanny for dogs with lots of walks, play dates, puppiccinos and doggie muffins and even a coconut scented bubble bath just before being collected. Davey was happy and relaxed when I arrived. I thoroughly recommend Isabelle x”

About: I've been around dogs for as long as I can remember, growing up with them from birth and owning my own for the past 15 years. From the age of 10, I was walking dogs for neighbours and local families, which gave me early hands on experience and a real love of caring for dogs of all ages, breeds and personalities. I have trained a number of dogs including my own dogs and feel confident supporting a wide range of needs, from energetic puppies who need plenty of stimulation to older dogs who enjoy a gentler pace and extra cuddles. We are a very animal loving family made up of myself, my husband and our daughter, who has grown up around animals and understands how to be kind, gentle and respectful with them. Our home offers a genuine home from home environment where dogs are treated as part of the family. We share our home with Rosie, our 14 year old Collie x Poodle, Daisy, our 1 year old Labrador Retriever and our 16 year old Cat Bella who tends to keep herself to herself. As you'll see from the photos, they are very happy, friendly dogs and a huge part of our family. They both enjoy the company of other dogs and are used to sharing their space. We have a secure, good sized garden for safe outdoor play and love exploring the beautiful North Devon countryside, beaches and woodland walks. Whether your dog enjoys adventures, games or simply relaxing at home, we'll make sure they feel happy, comfortable and well cared for. Both my husband and I between us ensure one of us work from home each day of the week, which means dogs in our care have company and supervision for the vast majority of the day. Aside from short school runs or quick errands, someone is usually at home. If your dog is unable to be left alone, please get in touch as we can often accommodate this too. I know how important it is to feel completely confident that your pet is safe, happy and loved while you're away. Whether you're heading off on holiday, need regular daycare, or are visiting North Devon and want to enjoy an activity where dogs can't join, we would be delighted to help. Any dog staying with us will be treated as an honorary member of the family, with plenty of affection, attention and care. I'm also happy to provide regular updates and photos, so you can relax knowing your dog is having a wonderful time. As a dog owner, I use pet sitters myself when we travel, so I completely understand how difficult it can feel leaving your dog with someone new. I'm always happy to answer any questions and arrange a meet and greet so you can feel reassured that we're the right fit for your dog. I'm not the best at remembering to take photos of myself, but I've included some of our favourite pictures, along with our garden and a few snapshots from adventures with Rosie and Daisy. I hope they give you a feel for the happy, dog loving home we can offer. We both work from home, meaning your dog will have company and supervision for the vast majority of the time (around 95%), aside from short periods such as school runs or quick errands. We always prioritise being with any dog in our care, ensuring they feel settled, safe and never left for long periods. If they could not be left we can also work with this! I understand how important it is to feel your pet is safe and happy, whether you’re away on holiday or just need support during the day. If a working day our dogs get 2 - 3 walks a day from 30 minutes to 45 minutes in a range of different settings. We can meet any timetable for feeding required. I have a fenced garden and 2 friendly dogs that will support in keeping your pup entertained and engaged in games (they love tug of war and ball games!) and lots of cuddles and fuss throughout the day. We live in a quiet estate. We also can offer quiet area’s of the house if they need a little downtime to themselves where we can sit with them if required away from our pups.

“It was my first experience with Rover and I’m so glad I did. Harriet was excellent, I had text and video reports showing Jago having a wonderful time. I highly recommend Rover, especially Harriet”

“I am truly happy and grateful for how Mollie cared for our dog during his stay. He obviously was extremely relaxed and happy. I could not fault anything about his stay, including being kept up to date on how he was doing. We have searched long and hard for someone to take care of our much loved dog and we have finally found Mollie, so very pleased and grateful!”

Denise B.

“Tracey and Sarah have given Belle an amazing time, lovely walks and lots of play time, and has made a new friend with their dog River. Tracey kept me well informed with what Belle was up too, lots of regular photos. I recommend Tracey and we will definitely be using her again. Thank you xx”

“Good communication and Katherine was a caring sitter”

“Lucy was always keeping me updated with Sky, she was very attentive and loving! She provided us photos and regular texts throughout the stay ensuring we knew how Sky was. Sky was well cared for and her needs was fully met as was mine. I would 100% recommend Lucy to anyone looking for a safe home & person to care for their pet.”

“Our dog had another great stay with Conny this week and I couldn’t be more pleased with the care and commitment Conny gave to her during her stay. Lots of lovely photos sent so I could see Fig was very happy to be back with Conny. They seem to adore each other and Conny is perfect. Thoroughly recommended +++”

“Thanks so much Bob! Amber had a fantastic stay with you, I don’t think she wanted to come home 😂 highly recommend, there was loads of garden and fields to run around, I had regular updates and photos. Will definitely be booking again”

Roseanna L.

“Boo and Rob have a very calming energy which enabled Alpha to feel comfortable and settle in. He was able to socialise with other dogs they were boarding (pre-agreed) which was great for him, also. I received regular updates/pictures etc so I knew he was good. I highly recommend Boo, and I've already booked Alpha in with her again.”

Andy S.

“Our boys were so happy and looked after perfectly. We had regular pup-dates and treated as part of the family. We will definitely use them again in the future if possible.”

Jemma M.

“Charlotte did a fantastic job at looking after Smudge while we were away for a few weeks over Christmas. We were kept updated with pictures and info letting us know how he was getting on as this was the first time we had left him with someone else, but I can safely say we would definitely use Charlotte again! Highly recommended.”

Richard F.

“Laura, her husband and their lovely dog looked after my Cavapoo as if he was part of their own family. From the moment we left him, we felt completely reassured that he was in safe, caring hands. Laura was incredibly attentive throughout the day and kept us updated with lots of lovely photos and videos, which made such a difference. We could see him out enjoying walks, playing happily with their dog, relaxing around the house, and curled up comfortably on the sofa. It was clear he had settled in so well and was having a brilliant time. After his overnight stay, he was completely zonked out in bed, which said it all. He had obviously been well cared for, entertained, and made to feel right at home. We would highly recommend Laura. She made the whole experience feel easy and reassuring, and we were so pleased to see how happy and relaxed he was. Next time we are in that part of the world, we will definitely be saying hello to Laura and her family again.”

Yogi M.

“Michael was great with Ralph. Kept him busy on walks, playing, training tricks etc. Was also very communicative and sent lots of photos for the duration of his stay. Lovely house, big enclosed garden. Ralph had a great time and my mind was at rest leaving him there 😊”

“This was our first time leaving our pup, Monty, with anyone outside of immediate family for an extended period of time, and the experience couldn’t have been better. For both us and Monty. Susan and Terry welcomed us into their home for a meet and greet prior to Monty’s one week stay and we immediately felt like Monty would be safe and happy with them. During the week Monty stayed with them, we received regular updates and photos of everything they were getting up to, which helped put us at ease while we were away missing our pup. 5/5, would highly recommend and use Susan and Terry again. Thank you!”
