A LITTLE REASSURANCEThinking about hosting?
Thinking about hosting?
Let’s answer a few questions.
We’d love to help you picture what being a home boarder could look like for you.
Can I choose when I have a dog to stay?
Yes. We’ll talk about the dates and stays that suit you, and you can choose whether to accept a guest. Hosting should fit around your life, with time for you to give each dog the care and company they need.
Can I become a home boarder if I have my own dog?
We’d love to hear from you. We’ll get to know your dog as well as you and discuss whether welcoming a guest would suit your home. A comfortable match for everyone comes first.
Do I need previous experience?
Tell us about the time you’ve spent with dogs and what you’d feel comfortable with. We meet prospective home boarders to discuss their experience, home and routine, and help you understand what caring for a guest involves.
What will I need to provide?
A welcoming home with a safe, secure garden, a love of dogs, time for walks and company, and a commitment to follow your guest’s usual routine. Their food, bed, lead and other essentials arrive with them, so they have familiar things around them.
How do you choose which dog stays with me?
We take time to learn about your household, lifestyle and the dogs you’d feel happy caring for. We use those details to suggest a suitable guest and talk through the stay with you before you decide.
Will I have support while I’m hosting?
Yes. You’ll get to know us before welcoming a guest, and we’re here to help with arrangements and questions along the way. We’ll explain the care routine and discuss the practical requirements before your first stay, so you know what to expect.
