Thank you to all my lovely clients and those who have booked back in, here is an availability update in case you’re planning your hols and need to check. I’ve also opened up some dates for trial nights. Licensing law is that all new dogs that are going to be staying for 3 nights and over MUST have a trial night, if you’re not happy to do this, I cannot take a booking, I’ve had an unfortunate incident recently with a client who did not respect this, so please understand that we need to factor this in ☺️

Dog Parents,

With the run-up to Christmas getting closer we are seeing more and more people trying to find last minute accommodation for their dogs at short notice.

It's so important to remember boarding or day caring for a dog without a licence is against the law and that any insurance an unlicensed business has will be invalid.

But that's not the only reason you should choose a licensed, home dog boarder.

Here are just a few reasons why licensed is the correct choice for your dog. Licensed dog care providers......

✅ MUST have comprehensive risk evaluations by the council for your dog's safety;
✅ MUST be limited by the council on the number of dogs they can care for at any one time.
✅ MUST undergo property inspections to ensure safety and uphold best practices.
✅ MUST have strict protocols for cleanliness, safety, and disease control
✅ MUST continue to learn to keep their skills updated (CPD)
✅ Strive further to guarantee your dog's safety, happiness, and overall well-being

Obtaining a licence for dog daycare or boarding isn't a walk in the park let me tell you!

This is why selecting a licensed provider ensures peace of mind, knowing they've committed to excellence.

Pinched from another site but this highlights the risk posed from unlicensed home boarders using platforms such as Rover ☹️
Never be afraid to ask for proof!

'Thinking of Shadow' right now, whose owners did not want to place him in kennels to be alone

*New for 2025* 💍💒👰🤵‍♂️🐶🐕🦮🐩🐕‍🦺🐾
Delighted to say that I am offering a wedding dog chaperone service for 2025. If you know anyone who is getting married who would love their dog to be there but without having to worry about how/who would look after it, please recommend us. This is a wedding I did earlier this year and honestly one of the best days work I’ve ever done, so I have decided to expand the offering, dates permitting. Several packages available. ❤️🐾🐶

Please check your dog boarder is licensed - There are several in and around Glossop who state they are insured but do not mention a license- but their insurance is completely invalid without a license. If they do not have a business name and are using just their own name this is usually a clue as the licensing ask for a business name for registration. Also if they are what you would consider “cheap or not expensive” this can be another sign. I’ve been verbally torn apart by a potential customer because of pricing but I’ve never had complaints for being licensed, I know which I prefer.

Your pets are precious.
