Dog Boarding Witham

About: My boyfriend and I are huge dog lovers and would absolutely love to have a dog of our own one day, but we’re holding off for another year (we also love our holidays!). In the meantime, we love opening our home to four-legged guests! We regularly look after his brother’s dog and my parents’ dog (both pictured) - who we used to live with before we moved in together. so we’re very used to different personalities, routines, and plenty of cuddles. Your pup will be treated like part of the family, with lots of love, playtime, walks and a comfortable home environment while you’re away. We can’t wait to meet them! I regularly work from home so your dog will have all-day company. I’ll take them on a morning (8am) & afternoon (5pm) lead walk. Please note i’m not comfortable letting dogs off the lead until I’ve known them for a considerable amount of time and trust their recall. We have a good sized garden, in the summer I’m happy to leave the patio doors open so they can come and go as they please whilst I work upstairs. Dogs are welcome and even encouraged on the furniture. My boyfriend would prefer for dogs to sleep down by the side of the bed, but I cave to puppy eyes easily 🤭 We have a fenced and locked garden. We are tidy couple so rest assured there won’t be anything left out for your dog to chew/choke on. We can crate your dog if you prefer. However if I were to nip out I’d be happy to leave them in the down stairs front room and kitchen area as it’s hard floor (opposed to carpet upstairs). Our house is very quiet other than the occasional doorbell ring from a deliver driver.

“Diana and her family looked after our puppy, Hicky, for the first time, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She made him feel so welcome from the moment he arrived, kept us updated throughout his stay with messages and photos, and really put our minds at ease. Diana was amazing with Hicky, and it was clear he was in safe, caring hands. She and her family are such kind, warm, and lovely people, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for someone to care for their dog. Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of Hicky!”

About: We've been lucky enough to share our lives with Dachshunds for over 18 years, and if you know the breed, you'll know they're not just dogs... they're tiny bosses with huge personalities! ❤️ We recently said goodbye to our beloved Hector, and while he'll always have a place in our hearts, our other Dachshund, Betty, is definitely missing her partner in crime (and so are we!). Your dog will be treated as one of the family, with plenty of cuddles, attention, and daily walks alongside Betty. Between me and my husband, we work around each other, so there's almost always someone at home (apart from the occasional school run etc!). Our only request is that your dog is happy and confident around our two children, of course our children will be supervised but we know not all dogs are confident around children in the first place. If your dog has a similar fur brother or sister of a different breed and you would like them to stay with us please let us know and I'm sure we can accommodate. Both me and my husband work around each other, our house is a busy one but there is almost always someone home, the kids need to be taken to school in the mornings but then the day is ours! Your dog will be treated as one of our own, Betty sleeps out of her crate in one of her many beds around the house. We understand we are looking after your baby so any special wants or needs can be catered for within reason.

“Joanna is so lovely and attentive and I could not be happier to have found her on Rover. My dog Blue was so well looked after and Joanna provided many lovely updates throughout his stay giving us peace of mind. Great at communicating. We will definitely be booking her again for our dog in the future.”

“Alison's poodle, Bella, is the most chilled dog ever and she got on well with Moray, our young Jack Russell. Moray loved Alison from the start and he went on some really good walks and got lots of cuddles. I couldn't be happier to leave Moray with Alison again.”

“We’re so happy with the care Caroline and her family gave Bailey. You can tell he had the best time—he came home such a happy, relaxed boy! He loved his walks, had loads of fun in the pool, and clearly felt right at home the whole time. Caroline sent me lots of photo and video updates of Bailey, giving extra peace of mind. He was so well looked after and treated like part of the family. He’s already excited to go back and play with Maple again! Would definitely recommend Caroline to anyone looking for a caring and fun home-from-home for their dog.”
