Dog Home Boarding in Runcorn

A Loving Home-from-Home for Your Best Friend

Hi, I’m Wendy, and I run the Digs for Dogs home boarding service across Runcorn and the surrounding Cheshire areas.

Having started my journey with Digs for Dogs as a home boarding family myself, I have a deep understanding of what makes a perfect dog holiday. Today, I use that experience to manage a professional network of carefully selected host families who provide a safe, happy, and kennel-free environment for your pets while you are away.


The Professional Alternative to Kennels

Our home boarding service is designed for owners who want their dogs to enjoy their own holiday in a real home setting. Unlike traditional kennels, your dog will become part of a loving family, enjoying all the home comforts, exercise, and one-to-one attention they are used to.

How Our Service Works:

  • Expert Matching: I take the time to get to know your dog’s personality, routine, and quirks. I then personally match them with the most suitable host family in my network—whether they need a high-energy home for long walks or a quiet sofa for plenty of naps.

  • The Chauffeur Service: To take the stress out of your travel day, I provide a door-to-door transport service. I will collect your dog in a professionally fitted, air-conditioned van and settle them into their host’s home, delivering them back to you safe and sound upon your return.

  • Total Peace of Mind: We are fully licensed, insured, and DBS-checked. While you’re away, I stay in regular contact with the hosts and can provide you with photo updates so you can see how much your dog is enjoying their stay.

Reviews about Wendy Paton

Sarah & Mark, Runcorn

Sarah & Mark, Runcorn

"We’ve always been reluctant to use kennels for our Labrador, Buster, as he loves his home comforts too much. Wendy found the perfect host family who treated him like one of their own. Seeing him curled up on a sofa in the photo updates made our holiday so much more relaxing. We won't go anywhere else now!"

"This was the first time we’ve left our puppy, Ted, and I was so worried! Wendy was brilliant; she kept us updated with lovely photos of him out on his walks and playing in the garden. It was so clear he was having his own little holiday! Digs for Dogs provides a five-star service that you just can't get with traditional boarding."

"Our dog can be quite nervous around new people, but Wendy’s experience really showed. She took the time to understand his quirks and matched him with a quiet, calm host family that was a perfect fit. It’s clear Wendy really cares about the dogs she looks after—she’s a true animal lover."
