🚨Home boarding information🚨
As mentioned in my previous post I have now been granted a licence for home boarding by Sunderland Council. I have had a few enquiries already for next year so if you're interested in using the service and know your holiday dates please get in touch.
Some things to consider if you are interested in using the service:
Before accepting any bookings I will arrange a free meet and greet, at my home so we can get to know each other, fill in all the relevant paperwork and the dog can familiarise themselves with the house. I will also need to see a copy of your dog's vaccination record.
After this all dogs must have a mandatory trial night charged at the standard nightly rate of £30 for first dog then £15 for any additional. This is to make sure they are happy and settled.
If everything goes okay then a booking can be secured for 20% of the total amount with the rest payable 24hrs before the booking starts. Advanced bookings will be a minimum of 3 nights I may have availability for last minute 1-2 night stays please get in touch to check.
You must nominate an emergency contact who will be willing to take the dogs whilst you are away if an emergency occurs, or in the event they demonstrate any of the below behaviours. You must make them aware of this.
I can not accept dogs who's behaviour may negatively impact on myself , my home or my neighbours. These include but are not limited to excessive barking or anti-social behaviour, aggression towards any humans or animals, scent marking or toileting in the home (exceptions will be given to puppies or very old dogs), separation anxiety, howling and destructive behaviour.
The conditions of the licence mean your dog(s) will not be left for more than 3 hours in any 24hr period. They will be left however for a short period of time so must be able to be left in the home without exhibiting any of the above behaviours.
I unfortunately at the moment can not accept any dogs who are raw fed as this would require a FSA qualification. As I am currently completing my Level 2 Canine and Welfare qualification I just don't have time for another. It may be something I look at doing in the future.
You can request a copy of my full T&Cs, which will also be available shortly on my website. Any questions please get in touch.

Quiet day today. Lovely walk with Meela and Luna fighting for the the best sniffing spot 🤣. Then a cheeky little solo with my little mate Alfie 😍

Just literally got the email to say ive been granted a licence 🎉🥳
🚨Long post alert🚨
Just a bit of an update on my home boarding application. I have had my home inspection which I think went well 🤞. There was one thing to do in the garden which was put in a fence panel to block access to the side of the house which I've done. To be honest it has been quite a stressful process for me, you have to pay the £295.25 licence fee when you apply which is non refundable. This means if im not awarded a licence I've lost that money 😢. I've had to produce lots of policies and procedures e.g. cleaning regime, exercise regime, emergency procedure etc I submitted a 28 page document with all this in when I applied. I have to have a level 2 OFQUAL recognised qualification in canine care which has cost £300 and I've purchased, first aid kit, fire extinguisher, fire blanket and a carbon monoxide detector. Once you have the licence it doesn't mean you then have it forever, you have to reapply every 1, 2 or 3 years depending on the period of the licence. As stressful as it's been I do understand why these things have to be done, as dogs are part of the family and making sure they are cared for and having all their needs met is extremely important. I think the point of my post is, that if someone has gone through this process to obtain a licence, then they are committed to doing everything they can to make sure they are giving the dogs the best care possible because it isn't an easy process.

The gorgeous girls Meela and Luna waiting patiently for their Wednesday walk 😍
07/08/2024
Early walk with the 3 Amigos. They are just like brothers, Alfie's the crazy attention seeker, Teddy likes to wind everyone up and Enzo is the big brother who steps in when he's had enough 🤣
06/08/2024
Quiet couple of days as a few regulars are away. Mini missed Mac and was looking for him as soon as she got in the car. Jax was missing his little pal Ted and I think he was disappointed that he didn't find any muddy puddles. Jax and Kobe were happy to be reunited after missing each other last week 😍
03/08/2024
Another course completed. This is a very comprehensive course solely focused on dogs health and first aid. I would definitely recommend it, not only to any pet professionals out there but also to any dog owners.

Got lucky today with the weather, it stopped raining just as I went to do my first walk with the gorgeous Meela and Luna 😍. It stayed dry for my lunchtime walk with Teddy too 🌞
31/07/2024
Early start today with the 2 Amigos missing their 3rd Amigo Teddy. It was a lot cooler and Enzo had lots of drink stops but Alfie just kept jumping on the water rather than drinking it 🤣. Then a lovely half hour with Meela and Luna, then Teddy at lunchtime (forgot to take a pic). Finished the day off with Phoebe 😍
31/07/2024
Forgot to post yesterday. Morning walk with Jax and Ted of course Jax managed to find all the muddy puddles and we also met some new friends along the way. Then lunchtime walk with Teddy who went crazy sniffing all over the field. Unfortunately had to cancel my afternoon walk even though it wasn't as hot as it had been, Jax and Kobe are 2 very high energy dogs who do a lot of running and chasing so it just wasn't worth the risk.
29/07/2024
Looks set be a warm week this week. I will be keeping an eye on temperatures and if needs be changing walks to pop ins.
29/07/2024
Solo with Teddy I can't deal with the cuteness 😍.
29/07/2024
Little bit of a more sedate walk than usual especially for Mac as it was a warm one today. More sniffing than running 😍
28/07/2024
Wedding chaperone duties today 😍
24/07/2024
Started early again with the 3 Amigos Enzo, Alfie and Teddy as it was due to be warm this afternoon. Then a lovely walk with Meela and Luna where we bumped into the two gorgeous girls Bailey and Mya 😍. Then Teddy went crazy sniffing all over the field 🤣
23/07/2024
Started the day with Ted and Jax. Ted was the first customer to try my new crates think he liked it. Jax managed to retrieve a huge dead bird out of the bushes 🤢. Didn't get a picture as I was too busy chasing him trying to get him to drop it. Teddy was his usual happy self at lunchtime ☺️. Ended the day with Kobe who was wondering where his best mate was 😍
22/07/2024
Started the day with Mac and Mini, then a lunchtime walk with Teddy. Finished the day with Phoebe wondering if we were going to be rained on 😍
22/07/2024
Just added these fab new crates from DTBoxes to my car so thought I'd do a car tour.

Early start today switched the 3 Amigos from their afternoon walk to morning. The weather was due to be warm and 2 of the group are brachycephalic breeds so it's extra important to look after them in the heat. We had lots of water breaks and they had fun jumping in the muddy puddles ❤️
Jax and Kobe having fun together and also managing to find those muddy puddles 🤣
Skyla enjoying her walk wasn't a fan of the chicken or the work vans half way down the track 🤣
Teddy also knew I had left over Chicken on his lunchtime walk 🤣
Nice little solo with Mac this morning 💙 We had fun playing with the ball until I accidentally threw it into a big bush and even though he tried really hard Mac couldn't find it. My throwing skills are obviously as good as my camera skills 🤦♀️
The three Amigos Alfie, Enzo and Teddy wondering if that big black dog will be joining the group 🤣. Then having fun chasing each other to 😍
Poor Jax and Kobe got drenched this afternoon and Jax didn't want to get out of my car bless him, those puppy dog eyes 😢 You wouldn't think that him and Kobe had been running around having the best time ever just before this 🤣
Last up today the 3 Amigos 😍. They all enjoyed having a splodge in a muddy puddle today 🤣
First walk of the day with the girls Mya and Bailey they are an absolute pleasure to walk 😍
Kobe and Jax loving life 😍
Jax and Ted enjoying their walk this morning 😍
First walk of the week with Mac and Mini. Started with kisses in the car then a lovely walk where Mini kept hiding in the long grass and Mac was going mad trying to find her 🤣
Lovely day today except when me and Phoebe got rained on she wasn't impressed 🤣🌧
Happy Wednesday 🥰
Busy day today over 23000 steps and I've enjoyed every minute. Love my job 🥰
