Home Boarding & Day Care

Don’t want your dog to go into kennels? Look no further…. I offer a home from home boarding service for your canine family friend whilst you are away for the day,short breaks and holidays.

I have a 5 star license(3 year) number F/22/00010 ANIMAL) which meets the higher standards of the Animal Welfare Regulations 2018 to accommodate up to 4 dogs at any one time.

Your dog will have free run of the downstairs part of the house and a safe and secure fenced garden and will be treated as part of the family keeping his/her routine such as feeding and walking as normal as possible.
I am able to continue with your dog’s basic training needs using positive force free methods. I can cater for various dietary needs and administer medication when required. All ages of dogs and needs are welcome – as long as they meet the criteria for home boarding (see below) and are fully house trained.

I am situated 5 minutes away from the Forest with easy access to walking trails, ponds and rivers like Mallards Pike,Cannop Ponds,Beechinghurst,Speech House arboretum,Wenchard,River Wye/Severn,Lydney Harbour to name a few – for lots of doggy stimulation, socialisation and fun.

I have 2 cats of my own that live upstairs when they are indoors and tend to keep out of the way. The upstairs part of the house is off limits for doggy visitors.

A trial home boarding period is required for all new clients to see if your dog(s) will settle into a different environment and able to socialise well with our dog to.

Your dog(s) will have an identity tag throughout the duration of their stay with me – this has my name and contact numbers on.

Lots of cuddles, fuss and attention whilst your dog is in my care are high on the agenda. You are very welcome to keep in contact whilst you are away – text, telephone, e mails and social media updates with pictures are all part of the service.

I am able to undertake basic grooming such as bathing post muddy walks and brushing. If you wish your dog to have a visit to local groomers – this also can be arranged at extra cost and depending on appointment availability.

Home Boarding and Day Care Criteria

All your dogs’ vaccinations, flea and worming treatments will need to be up to date at time of boarding. I will need to take a copy of vaccination records for licensing purposes.

Friendly,socialised, non aggressive and fully house trained dogs only please. Sorry no intact dogs or persistant barkers.

Preview visits are very welcome at a mutually agreed date and time. All paperwork must to be completed prior to any booking.

I belong to NARPS – National Association of Registered Pets Sitters and follow their policies and procedures. Your dogs’ health and safety are my priority throughout the duration of the booking.
