Inn The Dog House

Our doggy visitors instantly become part of the family with full and free reign of our homes, including a place on the settee or a sneaky snuggle on the bed.

Gill is a highly experienced dog owner and has worked with rescue dogs and also offered foster care to nurture dogs until their 'forever' homes have b

een secured. Gill lives in Horwich with her husband Mark and two grown up children, Georgia and Louis. Gill has had owned several dogs of her own and currently has a Labrador called Buster who she adopted at 10 months old in April 2020. Being a young dog, Buster loves long adventure walks (mostly over Rivington) and loves having furry friends to explore the countryside with. We are comfortable with quirky little dog habits - cheeky boys and girls and the odd stealing of a slipper, however we regret that our service is not suitable for boisterous dogs or any dogs that have displayed any aggressive behaviour in the past to either people or other animals. To comply with dog boarding legislation, all new customers must attend for a "meet and greet" familiarisation session prior to a boarding booking being agreed and confirmed. The aim of this is for us to assess your dog's suitability for home boarding and also for you to see if your dogs are happy with both us and our own dogs. We get booked up very quickly in the peak holiday seasons so please contact us in good time to book early and avoid disappointment. TESTIMONIALS
Our reviews speak for themselves. We have respectfully not published the full names of our customers. Please feel free to get in touch to ask to speak to any our willing customers directly and we will arrange this for you. "Our black Lab (Paddy) loves staying with Gill. He is always so pleased to see her and there is never a backwards look when we drop him off. He loves the long walks and enjoys the attention he gets from Georgia and Louis (we've seen the photos of him on the sofa!!). Cant recommend Gill highly enough, wouldn't take Paddy anywhere else." (Jane, Lancaster)

"Hugo, our spaniel, has had the best time with Gill. Lots of lovely walks and pictures of him having fun. He has been looked after brilliantly by a true dog lover. He became one of their family during his stay. Highly recommend." (Leanne, Blackrod)

"We picked up our two dogs this afternoon from Gill. We had loads of picture updates and they seemed to have a fab time and got loads of cuddles and walks. Will definitely take them there again for their next holiday! " (Teresa S, Westhoughton)

"Amazing service provided by Gill lovely lady, and the pets adore her, lots of walkies, exercise and dietary care all on one place." (Lisa S-T, Bolton)

"Gill is superb. My dogs come home and sleep after all their long walks. I get regular videos and photos too." (Peter, Bolton)

❌AT CHRISTMAS YOUR DOG DOESN’T HAVE TO:

🧑‍🎄 Visit Santa at the garden centre

🎄 Be around your visitors

🎅🏽 Go to other peoples houses

🎄 Go to see the Christmas lights switch on

🍺 Go to the busy pub on Christmas Eve

If they are anxious or get worried about people, dogs or busy places or if they just don’t like doing these things. It’s not a fault if they don’t like doing these things, many dogs don’t enjoy ‘human activities’ like this (some do, I have one that loves all of it and two that would be 🫤 ).

✅ Instead they may prefer to:

🚪 Be in their safe space (see upcoming post on this), a quiet room they like being in with a dog gate on the doorway when you have a house full of people who may scare them

🐕 Have an extra trip to a freedom field on Christmas morning and some extra enrichment at home while you go and visit family for a few hours if they’d find it stressful to come with you

🐶 A meet up with a dog or human friend at a place they like rather than a trip to the heaving pub on Christmas Eve

🦴 A trip to a dog enrichment centre or a 121 in an activity they love (scent work, mantrailing etc) rather than an outing to see the Christmas lights switched on

🍖 Some dog safe Christmas biscuits you’ve made them rather than dressing up in a dog Santa outfit

Loads of these Christmas ‘traditions’ that we enjoy are not enjoyed by our dogs, especially if they are anxious or more sensitive. Even the most robust dog may tolerate these activities rather than love them.

Please be mindful of your dogs wants and needs and don’t put them into situations they find stressful just because we want them to be part of Christmas. It’s your Christmas, not your dogs, they really won’t mind not being included in everything you do ❤️

Quality Care of your precious pets in a loving home environment...

Who we are and what we offer

We are a family/friend run business providing a loving home for your dog/s to come to for a home-from-home holiday whether this be full 24hr home boarding or simply doggy day care for occasions such as business trips or weddings where daytime care only is required.

We also offer dog sitting in your own home if this is preferred (charged per 24 hour period).

Both licensed boarders and their families are highly experienced dog owners and have also worked with rescue dogs for a number of years.

We are fully licensed by Bolton Council, fully insured with Public Liability cover, DBS checked and we both hold pet First Aid Training certificates.

We have all the necessary equipment and First Aid items as required as part of our Licence terms.

We offer 2 walks a day for dogs in our care, free reign of our homes and a place on the settee or a lap if needed!

We are both comfortable with quirky little dog habits - cheeky boys and girls and the odd stealing of a slipper, however we regret that our service is not suitable for boisterous large dogs or any dogs that have displayed any aggressive behaviour in the past to either people or other animals.

To comply with dog boarding legislation, new customers must attend for a "meet and greet" familiarisation session prior to a boarding booking being agreed and confirmed. This takes approx. 30 minutes and the aim is for you, as the owner, to meet us in our own homes to see if your dogs are happy with us - and of course, you are confident that they will be well-cared for in a loving environment. Beware of any boarder that does not offer this service as they would be in breach of the The Animal Welfare (Licensing of Activities Involving Animals) (England) Regulations 2018. We charge a nominal fee of £10 for a "Meet and Greet" visit.

Our market research has allowed us to set our prices at the average for the Bolton Area (See Price List).

We are already receiving a lot of enquiries for up to 12 months in advance of required boarding dates, so please contact us in good time to book early to avoid disappointment.
