Settling your dog into home boarding

Leaving your dog while you're away can feel daunting. The whole point of home boarding is that your dog stays in a real home, not a kennel, as one of the family. Here's how we make the transition easy.

A meet-and-greet first

Before any overnight stay, we'll arrange a relaxed meet-up so your dog and I can get to know each other on neutral ground. It means there are no surprises on the day, and you get to ask any questions.

Bring the comforts of home

• Their usual food, so there are no tummy upsets.
• A favourite bed, blanket or toy that smells of home.
• Any medication, with clear instructions.
• A note of their routine: mealtimes, walk times and quirks.

Keeping you in the loop

You'll get regular photos and updates throughout the stay, so you can enjoy your time away knowing your best friend is happy, walked and thoroughly spoiled.
