Home Boarding for Dogs

Home boarding is a great alternative to sending your dog to boarding kennels when you are away from home. This is an additional service which we offer to clients (with suitable dogs) who use our dog walking services.

Subject to compatibility with resident pets, dogs may be boarded with one of our team members, who should already be familiar with walking your dog. Boarding fees include walks, with the exception of the return day where no day boarding has been booked. Any walks required which fall outside of the 24 hour home boarding period or the 12 hour day boarding period will be charged at the usual rate. Bramcote Dog Walkers is licensed by Broxtowe Borough Council for the home boarding of dogs.

Home Boarding Vs Kennels

Boarding kennels can be very stressful for dogs. We have had reports of dogs returning home with behaviour problems, including defecating in the house and aggression towards other dogs.

Home boarding is a more familiar and relaxed environment in which your dog should settle quickly.
