Dog Home Boarding

Your dog will feel right at home

Our home from home dog boarding service takes away the stress of organising holiday pet care leaving you able to relax and enjoy yourself.

Dog home boarding is a fantastic alternative to traditional dog boarding kennels – ideal if you want your dog to be looked after in a caring home environment while you’re away.

Is my dog suitable for home boarding?

If your dog enjoys home comforts and gets on with other dogs and people, then yes, absolutely!

Home boarding is best for dogs who are friendly, well socialised and enjoy living as part of a family. We board dogs that are:

House trained
Up to date with vaccinations (including kennel cough)
Up to date with flea and worming treatment (using products recommended by the vet)
Friendly and sociable with people and other dogs
Some licence conditions mean that dogs under six months old and un-neutered males cannot be boarded – please check with your local branch or consider house sitting instead.

About our dog boarders

We know that the idea of leaving your dog with a stranger is quite daunting but you have no need to worry - We Love Pets dog boarders will care for your dog exactly how you would at home.

For your peace of mind, our dog home boarders are:

Experienced dog owners
Licensed by the local authority

We'll let you know how it's going

Your dog carer will provide you with updates and photos so that you know your dog is having a great holiday!

What will I need to provide?

You’ll need to bring your dog’s food and bed, and perhaps some familiar toys to make your dog’s stay as comfortable as possible. You’ll also need to bring your dog’s vaccination record.

Dog Walking

We offer our dog walking service throughout the day. Your dog will be walked in a safe open space and will return home, happy and tired. We also provide fresh water, treats and will towel your dog off in wet weather.

Our home-from-home dog boarding service is a great alternative to traditional dog boarding kennels. Ideal for when you go on holiday and want your dog to be thoroughly pampered while you’re away.

Dog Day Care

Dog Day Care is a place for your dog to spend the day with a friend, play, exercise and relax in the care of a loving home. While you are at work your dog can enjoy walks, cuddles, naps, training, playtime and plenty of attention.

Cat Sitting

Cat sitting is an ideal service for when you are on holiday and want your cat to stay at home where they are comfortable. We can visit as often as you like to provide fresh water, food, make a fuss and check your house is secure.

Puppy Care

We can help you get through those first few weeks and months when a puppy arrives so that you can go to work without worrying. We'll make frequent visits for regular feeding, cleaning, toilet breaks and lots of fun!

Dog Visits

Our dog sitters provide company and toilet breaks for your dog when you're unable to pop home and let them out. Perfect if you work long shifts or your dog needs medication, frequent feeding or regular trips to the garden.

Small animal care

Small animals need holiday care too! We'll either board your pets in a pet carer’s home or make regular visits to your pets in their own home. We look after chickens, hamsters, gerbils, rabbits, guinea pigs, rats, mice or ferrets.

Reptiles and Exotics

All of our staff are trained to handle and care for exotic pets. If you're looking for a specialist to look after your pet snake, bearded dragon, tarantula, or any other exotic pet while you're away on holiday, you need this service.

Pet Sitting

Pet sitting allows you to go away happy in the knowledge that your pets will be well looked after at home where they are comfortable. We'll spend time with your pet, make a fuss, feed and water them, plus clear up any mess.

Horse and Equestrian Care

We have a small team of grooms and horse carers who can provide a range of services for your horse, pony or donkey. The team are all experienced in equestrian care and some staff have specific qualifications in looking after horses.
