About our Home Boarding

We are Allison and Jeff and have over 20 years experience of caring for dogs. We started our dog care business is 2015 and it has gone from strength to strength since then. We have 2 of our own dogs, Olly and Mac ( a Springer spaniel and a Cocker spaniel) and 2 boys ages 17 and 15

We will look after your dog as if it's our own and they will enjoy a holiday with our family, and live with us in our home.
We deal with multiple dogs on a daily basis and are confident in doing this, however we happily walk them on a 121 basis should you prefer.

We do ask you to visit with your dog for a meet and greet if we haven't met you and your dog before so that we can assess them for suitability for homeboarding and allow you to ask any questions you may have.

We will try and keep as close as possible to your dogs usual routine so as not to add any stress to them being away from you.

Accommodation:

We live on an estate and have 2 enclosed gardens and have walks from the door through fields and countryside. Also access to beach within 10 min drive

Exercise:

Depending on what your dog is used to i can walk them as much or as little as you want. I have 2 spaniels who get 2 hours off lead walking each day so if they can keep up they are welcome to join in the fun or i can walk separately if you prefer

Health & Hygiene:

We ask that all dogs are neutered/spayed if they are over 1 year of age and fully vaccinated including kennel cough. Vaccinations need to be completed at least 4 weeks prior to boarding.
We also can accept a valid titre test, however Lepto vaccine is still required as this is not covered by titre.

Kennel Cough Vaccine is recommended however it is not compulsory as kennel cough can be picked up anywhere as it is an airborne virus. If you do choose to give the vaccine please ensure it is done at least 2 weeks prior to boarding as it is a live vaccine and can spread the virus.

We do not accept any females in season.

All boarding dogs must be up to date with worming and flea treatments.

Our 16 month old Working Cocker Spaniel Bramble has just come back from having 3 wonderful days holiday with Allison & Jeff while we went away for a short break. It truly was home away from home for her and we were kept updated by text and daily photos on Facebook which was very reassuring. We chose A J Dog Care after spending a long time searching for a home boarder that would be able to cope with a young active spaniel and were impressed with their reviews, qualifications & 5 star licence. We were definitely not disappointed & would highly recommend A J Dog Care. Thank you once again Allison & Jeff for looking after Bramble so well & even sending her home with a little doggy bag.

Outstanding service Harley was settled from the off they kept us updated with photos and we could tell he was settled thank you so much for looking after him xx

5 From Sharon dent on

I have recently left my 12-year-old Yorkie with Allison and her family for 3 weeks and could not be happier with his care. We got regular updates and pictures and came home to a very happy boy. He has loved playing with the other dogs and being made a fuss of by new people. I would certainly recommend AJ Dog Care and will certainly be using them again in the future - 5* service - thank you so much x P.S. the photo is of Gyp making himself at home on Allison's knee :)

5 From Tracy Burgess on

Allison and Jeff were chosen by us after reading great reviews. After meeting them and introducing Fergus (our Scottish Terrier pup of 18 weeks) we felt 100% happy to go on holiday without any worries. Fergus had a great time and socialised with plenty of other dogs. Great daily walks and exercise, in all kinds of weather, also added to his holiday experience. We could see his daily antics via AJ Facebook page. Fergus was dropped off at our home with a goody bag. A big thanks to Allison and Jeff for looking after our dog so well. Will definitely be the first people to call if/when we have to go away. Very highly recommended.

5 From Gordon Allen on

I have just been away to Paris for 4 days and asked Alison if she could collect our two 9 month old cockapoos Jack and Annie from our home and walk them during the day whilst my other half was at work. They went out each day on a good walk with other dogs and then back to Alison's to run around in the garden. They had a great time playing with other dogs. Alison let us know they were ok and updated us by posting pics of them on Instagram :) Will definitely be using the service if I go away again and will be boarding over night when my partner and I go away together.

5 From Kate on

My cavapoo Harry stayed with Allison and Jeff for 1 night. He has never been left with anyone one before and I think I was more anxious than he was. I received a text from them saying he had settled well and that totally put my mind at ease. They cared for Harry like one of their own, took him to the Beach which he loves and brought him back, tail wagging. I can only presume he had a good time. I would have no problem leaving Harry again. Thank you Allison and Jeff.

5 From Debra on

Jesse is an older rescue dog who had been home for 9 months when I contacted Allison. He was unpredictable, especially around strangers, and I was worried about how he would take to an entire new family looking after him. I needn't have... allison and Jeff took the time to get to know Jesse first and week by week he grew to trust not only them, but as a result, just become generally more relaxed around other dogs and people. Jesse was treated like a king while we were on holiday and I was kept updated with daily photos by Allison. But aside from how well looked after he was while boarding, allison and her family have to take the credit for Jesse being a changed dog!! Jesse now sees his pals once a week and the biggest reflection of the quality of allisons service is how fast he bolts out the door to her car when she arrives!!! Couldn't recommend highly enough. Thanks so much Allison, Jeff and boys!!!

5 From Katherine on

Our Labrador Benji has spent 4 days with Allison and her family, she's been in touch via text to let us know how he is getting on daily. he's been well looked after and benefited from lots of exercises and attention.

5 From Maria and Ian on

Excellent reliable service. Highly recommended as an alternative to a formal kennel environment. Will use again.

5 From Alan Thomson on

We left our dog sully with Alison and Jeff and he's been so well looked after. He's come home with bright shining eyes and so calm, they are so professional and caring, without a doubt would leave him in their care again!

5 From Naomi campbell on

My Dog Milo stayed with Allison and Jeff and he absolutely loved it. They cared for Milo like one of their own, took him to the Beach and Walks. I would have no problem leaving Milo with AJ Dog Care again. Also Allison kept me informed how Milo was settling in, which took away any concerns I may have had. I would highly recommend this lovely Home Boarding facility.

5 From elaine blackburn on

My French Bulldog has just stayed the week with Allison whilst we were on holiday and we were very happy with the care he received. I would not hesitate to use AJ Dog Care again.

5 From Kelly Reay on

Excellent service I had Alison and her family look after my 2 boys , and they were well looked after and got on very well with their 2 dogs as well. The boys were really spoilt and come back with little bags of goodies for Christmas . Would highly recommend them to anyone

5 From Karen and David on

Our border collie Toby stayed with Alison and her family and he was really well looked after. He came back happy and well adjusted which is testament to the great care he received. Thanks so much we would definitely recommend your service.

5 From Michaela and Steve on

Excellent boarding service in a lovely family home, our 15 week old puppy had a fabulous time where he was spoilt rotten, he even had a party bag to bring home with him. We will definitely be using Alison and Jeff again, in fact he's already got a few more overnight stays booked and can't wait to go back, nothing is too much trouble. Thanks again Lisa & Paul.
