Home Boarding

  • Your dogs will have the company of our home boarders for most of the day as they are all either retired or they work from home.
  • Your dogs will have the freedom of the full house & garden to roam around in until their hearts are content and will get as many walks as they need.
  • Most of the dogs who stay with our home boarders have such a good time that they don’t want to go home!
  • Your dogs will be staying in a loving, family home and will be too busy having fun to even think about howling or barking because they are missing you.
  • Click Here to have a read through our testimonials to see what others have to say about the benefits of our home dog boarding service.

Kennels

  • Your dogs would be left on their own in a kennel for most of the day apart from a couple of times a day when they are walked.
  • Your dogs would be confined in a much smaller space than they are used to, even if the room does have a flat screen tv!
  • Your dogs may develop separation anxiety issues especially if they are rescue dogs who have already spent a lot of their lives in a kennel or cage.
  • Your dogs may come back with hoarse throats because they have been barking & howling a lot, which is their way of calling their pack (ie. you & your family) back.
  • Many of our clients have used kennels in the past but have come to us because they have experienced a lot of the negatives we have listed first hand.

Sue & Brian have owned dogs for over 30 years and have been home boarding dogs for 3 years. They have looked after all kinds of dogs from Miniature Pinschers to German Shepherds so they are very experienced with all breeds of dogs. They live in a large semi-detached house in Wilmslow with a lovely secure garden for the dogs to play in. Brian is retired and Sue works part time so there is always someone around to look after the dogs. They have 3 teenage daughters who live at home who help to look after the dogs and give them lots of love and attention.
