Dog Boarding in West Somerset

About: I'm in my forties and I've taken care of many pets throughout my entire life ranging from cats, dogs, ferrets, rats and more. I walk dogs for friends and neighbors regularly and love them like my own. As I'm not working at the moment I'm able to take and walk pets all week, even in the late evenings. I'd be available from around 8-9am to 11pm. I'm capable to take care of medicated pets by giving medication or even providing first aid. I have experience in grooming and bathing dogs. Energetic and high maintenance dogs are also welcome as I have experience and am happy to walk far and spend hours with them at the park. I prefer to keep dogs on leash when walking them to avoid any risks.

“Paddy had the most wonderful time. Shelagh and Pete gave him the best holiday - lots of cuddles and plenty of fun running in their field with their dog Spike. We couldn’t have asked for more. When we picked him up he seemed completely at home so we wouldn’t hesitate to book him in for another stay. Very grateful for all of Shelagh’s care and attention.”

“Reggie had a fantastic three night stay with Jenny. From our first meeting to the stay, communication has been great. During the stay, Jenny sent us plenty of updates and photos, including on his walks. He was having such a lovely time we were a bit worried Reggie wouldn't want to come home! I would definitely recommend Jenny.”

“Otis and Waffle had a few happy days staying with Josh. We were sent several photos and videos during their stay, reassuring us how happy and well looked after they were. Would definitely recommend and will be booking again next time we go away.”

“My puppy stayed with Victoria for 2 days and 1 night, I was really impressed with Victoria's communication, I had regular updates on how my puppy was doing with photos as well. I felt completely at ease knowing she was doing a good job of looking after him. I Would definitely book Victoria again.”

“Macy was absolutely fantastic with our french bulldog, Bella, while we were away on holiday for six nights. From the moment Bella stayed with her, it was clear how much love, care and attention Macy puts into looking after dogs, and we were so grateful for how warmly she welcomed Bella into her day-to-day family life rather than just “watching” her. She spent time playing with Bella, made sure she felt included and comfortable, and it was obvious that Bella was being treated like one of the family. We also really appreciated the daily updates, which gave us real peace of mind while we were away and showed just how happy and settled Bella was. Macy is kind, caring, thoughtful and clearly loves dogs, and we would not hesitate for a second to recommend her to anyone looking for a genuinely wonderful dog sitter. Thank you Macy for doing such a good job x”

“We kept our 4 legged baby with Liz while we went to Butlins. It was very short notice, and she was very kind to accept to keep him. Neo was well looked after and we got updates from Liz. Thank you so much Liz. Will definitely ask her in future needs. Xx”

“Our dog Chloe had a wonderful weeks long stay with Sarah and her family. She was spoiled and looked after like she was part of the family. We were able to have a wonderful holiday reassured by the regular updates from Sarah.”

“Teddy is so well looked after and cared for when he stays with Laura, he gets the continuity of a family environment plus the company of Lola. Would not hesitate to recommend Laura to anyone looking to leave their dog in a kind loving environment.”

“Bailey was well looked after and he got on well with her lovely dogs and had fun playing and wearing each other out! I had regular updates and photos from Holly and I felt assured he was well cared for and that I didn’t need to worry. Highly recommended. Thank you H&J”

“Absolutely fantastic! Jo was exceptional in her level of care and made Beau Bo's holiday stay a wonderful experience. Beau Bo was cared for, loved and treated as one of the family and she had so much fun and enjoyment playing with Jo's dog, Mario, and daughter, Skye. Communication was exceptional and I was kept informed and updated each day with plenty of messages, photos and videos. Jo is a kind, caring, responsible and reliable person and I would not hesitate to entrust her to look after my dog again. A wonderful experience for both dog and owner! Can not recommend highly enough!”

Catherine K.

“This was the first time I had used Rover for my one year old (very small) Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, and Ed and Jan were fantastic. They immediately gave me peace of mind and looked after Fudge really well - in fact, they spoilt her so I am sure she will be keen to go there again!! I would not hesitate in recommending Jan and Ed, and can't thank them enough for looking after Fudge so well.”

Sheila H.

“Timmy was very well looked after with plenty of exercise. We received plenty of photos of Timmy enjoying himself. Would definitely use again.”

“We couldn't be happier with the care our dog, Bramble, received while we were away on holiday! From the moment I dropped her off, I felt completely at ease knowing she was in such capable and loving hands and that she’d have a playmate, gorgeous Buddy to hang out with too!! It was clear right away that Jo truly cares about the animals she looks after. Bramble was given plenty of attention, walks, playtime, and cuddles. We received updates on how she was doing with photos, which really put our minds at ease and let us enjoy our trip without any worry. When we returned, Bramble was relaxed and happy. It honestly felt more like she had a little holiday of her own! Would 100% recommend Jo to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter, and will definitely be booking again in the future. Thank you so much 😊”

About: I’ve had animals in my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up on a small farm, I was surrounded by both dogs and cats and learned from an early age how to care for animals responsibly. Looking after pets has always been a natural part of my daily life, from feeding and exercising them to ensuring they feel safe, happy, and loved. I understand that every dog has their own personality and needs, and I take pride in providing patient, reliable, and caring attention to every pet I look after. Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply keeping them company, I’ll treat your dog as if they were my own. I work flexible hours and can often work from home when needed, which allows me to be available throughout the day to meet your pet’s needs. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, companionship, or maintaining their usual routine, I can provide reliable care and attention to help your pet feel comfortable, happy, and well looked after while you’re away. I provide a safe, caring, and reliable environment for every pet in my care. Having grown up with both dogs and cats on a small farm, I understand the importance of patience, routine, and animal welfare. When pet sitting or providing lodging, I ensure pets have constant access to fresh water, regular feeding schedules, plenty of exercise, and a comfortable place to rest. I closely follow the owner’s instructions regarding medication, routines, and any special requirements. For dog walking, I use secure leads and harnesses where appropriate, choose safe walking routes, and monitor pets closely at all times. I pay attention to weather conditions, avoid hazards, and ensure dogs receive the exercise and mental stimulation they need while remaining safe and comfortable. My priority is always the health, happiness, and wellbeing of every pet entrusted to my care.

“Magnus stayed with Fraser for four nights and was well looked after. We got plenty of photo updates of nice long walks and a video of Magnus fast asleep and snoring. We know he's in good hands!”

“Shelbie and her family took great care of Charlie for a few days and it was so lovely to know he was being so well looked after. She sent us updates which was much appreciated, and we would be more than happy for her to care for Charlie again 🥰”

About: I've worked with dogs for many years, I am a qualified dog groomer and am qualified in canine first aid, so rest assured I have you covered. I have 2 dogs of my own a chonzer and a saluki cross, both well mannered. I have a 1.5 year old son and a partner who works full time, there is plenty of love in this household. We have a house with a back garden, so dogs are allowed to roam, water is always available and so is food unless otherwise stated. Walks will be given once every evening. I'm a mum of a child who's nearly 2, other than cleaning my own house i dont have a lot going on, it would be nice to be able to take care of pets and have a small income. Pets will always have access to water and food unless otherwise stated by the owner. They will be walked for 30min - 1 hour every evening spent with me, our garden contains high fences which are 6ft tall meaning the safety of your pet escaping is at a minimum. I am a dog groomer but that will not effect the time spent with your pet because I wont book grooms if your pet is booked inn with me

“My terrier Fudge had a lovely time at Susan’s Very good communications all through booking process with regular updates and photos of Fudge during his stay which were very welcome. Excellent service Would thoroughly recommend👍”
