Dog Boarding in Welwyn Hatfield

About: Hi, we’re Ethan and Lauren, and have owned dogs & cats all our lives. Now we have no pets, we are happy to look after yours! We both work from home so we can structure our day around your dog and dedicate our time and affection to them. We’re happy to run, play and cuddle with them and understand their needs and wants well. Walks/Parks near our home - - Behind our home is the St Albans way walk, which leads all the way to Verulamium park and many other fun parks that your dog will love. - We’re also a short walk to Clarence park, will loads of room for walking and playing! - We also have a small park right outside our front door for these short walk abouts and when they need the toilet. We know from personal experience that leaving a pet with someone can initially be hard but this is a lot easier knowing your four legged friend has been left in the right care. We believe patience is key and we take time to bond with any dog in our care, so building trust, safety and support for your well-being and theirs is a priority for us. Please may I ask - Please bring anything your dog needs to make their stay nice and comfortable, including any favourite toys. We can provide poo bags and plenty of treats but anything else please bring with your dog. We both have work from home jobs and our schedules align so that we are able to have someone at home everyday of the week. Caring for pets at home or in a pet owner’s home involves providing fresh food and water, regular exercise, companionship, administering medication if needed, and ensuring a clean, safe, and comfortable environment. I follow any specific instructions provided by the owner, including feeding schedules, behavioral needs, and preferred walking routes.

“So happy to have found Karen! Gina had a great stay and was really well looked after. Karen was very good with communication and replied back quickly to any messages. We received photos throughout the day which made me feel comfortable knowing Gina was in good hands. Would highly recommend and will be using Karen again in future!”

“Donna and Simon are fantastic. They look after our 1 year old male Cocker Spaniel so well that he loves going round and cries with excitement as we arrive. Our boy has made their home his second home and adores Donna and Simon to bits. We have booked a one night and a 7 night stay. On his stays we get daily updates with photos. We’re so happy to have found Donna through Rover and will definitely book with her again.”

“Our dog Tiffy, and cat Libby, had a wonderful stay with Gabriella and her family. They were treated to lots of cuddles on the sofa, just like home. Gabriella got to know our pets very quickly so Tiffy enjoyed games of fetch and Libby curling up on a fluffy throw. Our cat has a strict medication regime and Gabriella was meticulous in following this. We really enjoyed receiving all the photo updates too.”

“Heidi provided an excellent service. She went above and beyond preparing food for Archie as due to the Cushings he played up with his apetite. She always informed us of everything along with updates and photos of how he was doing. The family home was very friendly and Archie was very happy there. He was very well looked after. We cannot fault anything. We definitely recommend Heidi.”

“Our beagle Bella had a brilliant time staying with Alex. He sent regular updates, videos and photos. It was the first time we have left Bella with a sitter and we won’t hesitate to use Alex again! She was very well looked after.”

“Highly recommend Nicola for dog boarding. From the onset communication was outstanding. My boy looked to be having a blast staying with her from the photo updates I received. Thank you so much Nicola”

“Sarah looked after our cockapoo, Winston, over the weekend and it was clear he had a lovely time and felt very comfortable and at home! He had a lovely huge garden to play in, went for lots of walks, played fetch endlessly and even went for a picnic! Sarah has two gorgeous and very friendly doggies of her own who welcomed Winston. He had a lovely weekend and we felt very happy knowing he was very at home and being well cared for!”

“Claire (and family) looked after our Goldie at short notice and with other dogs around. He enjoyed the weekend stay and was worn out from all the fun on his return. Claire kept us updated with photos and texts”

Mark G.

“Wow! What’s a wonderful, kind and generous person. We are so lucky to have found you. Alfie has been looked after so well I think he is sad to have come home. I’m sure he will drag me to your house the next time we go for a walk. The photos and little messages are so reassuring. We would definitely recommend you to any potential doggy parents. Absolutely perfect 🤩 I would give more stars if I could! XX”

“Tanya was great with our greyhound Daisy who stayed with her for the weekend while we got married. Daisy made herself comfy within minutes of being there and was even more relaxed when we collected her which was great to see. She had a lovely weekend with a walk to the Christmas markets. We’ll definitely use Tanya again, thank you very much for looking after Daisy so well.”

“Sebastian was amazing with Nala! She stayed overnight and really enjoyed herself with his dog Bao, they have become best friends 🥰 They played for hours and Nala had great fun! Sebastian was very reliable and kept me updated with photos and regular updates of how Nala is doing and what she’s been doing. I was able to relax knowing she is safe and happy. I also met Candice his wife who is lovely and you can see they both love dogs very much. Thank you both so much and Nala will definitely be staying with you again soon! 💗🙏🏼”

“Wonderful experience with Mylinh who got along famously with Ezra, immediately putting him at ease and making him feel at home. We were thrilled with how well she got to know Ezra and look after his needs and we received many detailed updates (including pictures) which really put our minds at ease. Will definitely look to use Mylinh again and would fully recommend.”

David S.

“Fantastic experience from start to finish. Rebecca took the time to meet Luna prior to boarding her and really got to know her. I felt she took the time to really understand Luna and what she needed and the quirks of her personality. Luna is an excitable young dog and Rebecca's calm and relaxed attitude put Luna at ease very quickly. Luna was calm when collected and clearly had a great time. Very pleased, I wouldn't hesitate to board Luna with Rebecca again. I found her highly professional and very experienced.”

“Arlo had a great time being able to both play and relax enough. She became very affectionate which is always a sign of a good sitter for us!”

“5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ My pup is a little rebellious teenager at the moment but Jennie and her family and her dogs have been so patient and gentle with him. Thank you again.”

“Sarah took great care of our springer spaniel Bruno while we were away for a week - he was really happy and at ease with her straight away and had a great time while we were away, we came home to a very happy dog! Sarah was great at providing updates and photos so we knew how we he was getting on, she took his energetic and loving nature in her stride and he was treated like one of the family. I’m so grateful to her as we had to find someone to look after him at short notice and she responded immediately, and I’m so glad we found her - would definitely recommend and we’ll be reaching out to her again next time we need someone to look after Bruno!”
