What does dog boarding include?
Dog boarding includes everything from picking up your dog when you leave and dropping them back when you return. Dog boarding kennels offer both short and long-term boarding, plus, they’ll include feeding and walking in the cost. They’ll communicate with you directly, asking if your pet has any dietary requirements, illnesses, or special needs (like anxiety). Dog boarders offer a range of services for your pet, including:
Dog pick up and delivery
If you’re going away, chances, are you already have a lot on your plate - so get a dog boarder who’s available to pick up and drop off your pet. Get a dog boarders near you to pick up your furry friend before you leave and return them after you get back. Your dog minder can also pick up any favourite toys or blankets that belong to your pet so they can carry a piece of home with them to their home away from home.
Short-term dog boarding
You can get dog boarding for any period of time - even if you only need a day or two. Dog boarding kennels can cater to a range of time lengths and will make sure your pet is comfortable and relaxed while you take a short trip for business or family. Your dog’s minder will send you updates every day, so you know your pet is happy, safe, and in good hands.
Long-term dog boarding
If you’re going to be away for a long period of time, you want to make sure your pet has somewhere to stay that feels as close to home as possible. Hire a dog boarder near you to take care of your pet for the entire duration of your trip. They’ll ensure your dog feels at home while staying with them, helping them get into a routine, so they feel more relaxed and comfortable.
Dog feeding and grooming
Your dog boarder will care for your pet like their own, including taking care of all their feeding and grooming needs. They’ll make sure your pet is fed nutritious meals, along with any medications they need right on schedule. They can either prepare meals based on your instructions, or you can provide food for your pet if they have a special diet. Your dog boarder will also ensure your pet is kept groomed, with baths and trims as needed.
Walking and playtime
Dog boarding kennels include plenty of playtimes, fun, and regular walks! Many dogs love the social aspect of boarding - they’ll often get to hang out with other furry friends as well. It means your pet isn’t just taken care of physically - they get to have a fun experience for themselves while you’re on holidays.
Monitoring and updates
If you’re worried about how your pet will cope while you’re away, you can rest assured knowing that your dog boarder will keep you updated with how your pet is going. You can request updates at any time via email or SMS, or regular intervals (like every day or every second day). Of course, if you can’t be disturbed on your trip away, your dog boarding provider will only contact you if they need to. For example, if they notice a change in your pet’s eating habits and behaviour or they require a trip to the vet.

I need someone to dog sit my Maltese x Pom dog at their house for 5-6 nights. She’s 11 and may also need pain meds administered with her food for a neck injury. She’s very sweet, good with other dogs, not as much with kids (although wouldn’t hurt them, just growls at them so I’d prefer no kids house) Well trained, will provide her bed and safety things, food etc. You can walk her every couple of days but it’s not 100% necessary. If you go out for a night for NYE she will also be fine left at your home, maybe just put some calming music on (I have found recently she stays settled with it on and doesn’t get as overly excited when coming home) Needed from 29th Dec-3rd Jan

Dog boarding - in need of a temporary home for our dog over the Xmas break (house or apartment). 11 nights - from 23 Dec until 3 Jan. Our 6yo greyhound (Ace) is very chilled. Friendly with both animals and humans but usually happy to ignore both. Walks well on lead (we often have him off lead as he has good recall & no prey drive). He is flexible and his usual routine is: - dental stick in the morning when he gets up - a 20 to 30 minute walk in the morning, followed by a dog treat - sleep all day until dinner time (around 5pm, one meal per day) - evening toilet walk around 10 to 15 minutes (around 7pm) - sleep & repeat Generally always asleep on his bed. Doesnt get on sofa. Toilet trained. Looking for a house or apartment getaway for Ace over the Xmas period. Thanks, - Due date: Needs to be done on Thursday, 23rd Dec 2021
So glad we found such a lovely stay for Ace. It was a home away from home for him. Such great care and regular contact with photos and videos really put our minds at ease and was appreciated. Absolutely first class and we will be back. Thanks so much Candice
