Buster's Dog Boarding Stay



Home from Home Dog Boarding is extremely proud of the many positive reviews we get from our customers. We have in excess of 20,000 happy clients that have used our dog care services throughout London and the Home Counties, some of which have left glowing reviews on our testimonial pages.

Don’t just take their word for it though. We’ve been lucky enough to get a firsthand account from Buster, loyal and cherished family pet to the Brown family in Sussex.  Here’s what Buster had to stay about his recent dog boarding stay.

Dog SittingNormally when my family go away on holiday I dread arriving at the kennels for my week stay. The staff are lovely, but the dog kennels are lonely and the other dogs make me nervous. This time we arrived somewhere different and it wasn’t even a long car ride away – I heard something about dog boarding or dog sitting I think. It was a lovely house with a big front garden. The couple who were waiting for us seemed excited to meet me and I felt relaxed with them straight away.


Dog BoardingMy owners had brought my own bed, my favourite toys and loads of my usual food. They settled me in nicely and then waved goodbye. It was a lovely quiet house with a huge back garden for me to play in. I missed my own family but my dog sitters were so kind and took me for long walks every day.   

Even when I felt lonely at night time, they took my bed upstairs so that I could sleep near to them.

The week passed so quickly and I had lots of fun with my dog boarding carers. It was great to see my own family again, but I definitely won’t get so upset the next time they go away on holiday.

As you can see, Buster was more than happy with his time spent with one of our trusted dog boarding carers.  Why not give Home from Home Dog Boarding a call today and we can answer any questions you may have.

Dog BoardingIf you’re new to the idea of dog boarding we hope to be able to give you an insight into what it involves and what a great alternative it is to boarding kennels.

We understand that your pet is part of the family and when you have to leave them you want to know that they will be safe , well looked after and happy.

Dog home boarding provides the ideal home away from home where your dog will have one to one attention rather than pining for you in a strange lonely kennel.


Dog CarersAll our carers are dog lovers and are carefully selected to make sure that they can provide a warm and friendly home for your pet whilst you are away. We have over 500 dog carers spread across London and the Home Counties all whom provide a one to one dog sitting service 365 days a year. They will treat your dog as part of the family and are entirely devoted to providing the best care for your pet.

For you peace of mind, we inspect our carers’ homes and insist that they have a secure garden, will not be away from the house for more than four hours at a time and have no other pets so they can provide one to one care. Every stay will be tailor made for your dog, so you can rest assured that whilst you’re away enjoying yourself on holiday, your pet is getting the love and attention they deserve.  

Dog SittingWe recommend that you meet with your dog carer to run through your dog’s requirements and make sure that you are completely happy. Any sleeping, walking and eating patterns will be maintained whilst you are away, all you need to provide is enough food for the duration of your dog’s stay and any special bedding, toys or other items you think your dog will appreciate.

For your dog, time away from you can be stressful and traumatic; dog boarding is the ideal solution to make this separation less difficult. With Home from Home dog boarding, your dog won’t be placed in a strange environment and have to exposed to the barking and howling of other dogs. They’ll receive the undivided attention of a trusted carer and keep your dog safe and sound until your return.
