About our Home Boarding

Experienced dog owner I have bred and shown English Pointers and had 4 wonderful German Shepherd dogs in my life plus an assortment of mutts which have been a pleasure to have known I now specialise in the smaller dog who needs extra attention I am fully insured, licenced by Guildford Borough Council 5* rating and CRB checked

Accommodation:

Guest dogs have a full run of the home and garden as I believe they enjoy being with us The garden is fully fenced and safe I will follow owners wishes with sleeping arrangements but they are welcome to sleep in my bedroom my boy sleeps on my bed and some little ones like to join him my guests settle in very quickly and seem to enjoy their holidays with us my boy is a very relaxed dog and welcomes his little friends to stay he shared his toys etc and can be known to have a good play game if a dog is shy or wants to just rest he is happy to leave them enjoy a sofa

Exercise:

I am at home with the dogs all the time except an odd quick trip to Waitrose the garden is fully fenced and dog proof I mainly walk in the woods and like dogs to be off lead with a good recall or if on not to pull We do sometimes meet deer and horses so cannot have prey chasers
Due to current circumstances I cannot undertake the long hourly walks only. I ask clients if they would be happy for my ‘go to dog walker’ to do these walks, she is a long term friend who I trust implicitly with my own dog. The dogs will meet her and we make sure they get to know her on their visiting days before they come for their long stay

Vaccination Certificates are required. Dogs can be treated by my vet if approved by owners

Only spayed/castrated dogs accepted.

Must be house trained and not pee/ poo in the house

Nice elderly lady who loves dogs but the prices are very high and you need to pay half the cost as a deposit when you book. Lots of council based forms to fill in, passing the buck back to the owner if anything happens - this obviously ensures the boarder isn't liable and takes no responsibility. This raised issues as this boarder uses separate independent dog walkers who you would need to meet beforehand. However by signing the many forms you basically have no control over how the dog is cared for in your absence and who walks your dog.

Boarders Response:Apologies again for having to cancel this booking. Regarding your comments, I understand the frustration of having to complete the forms that are provided by the council, however I am very particular with following the correct procedures. The council provides a lengthy inspection of the premises, and the level of care for the guest dog provided at all times to guarantee their safety which they cover in the forms. My prices reflect the individual care and love each guest dog receives which in turn has always provided very positive reviews. Compared to most other establishments I mostly only take one guest dog at a time. Due to current circumstances at the moment I do use my own dog walker for the hourly walks. The shorter walks I manage to do. My dog walker is a long term friend who I trust implicitly with my own dog. All these details I am very transparent with at the inquiry stage and on Find Pet Boarding and happy to answer any questions regarding this before booking. Thanks Joy

Buddy has stayed with Joy a number of times now and is always well cared for and given lots of attention! He jumps out of the car and doesn't look back when running up to Joy. Regular updates and photos mean I'm never worried about how he is getting on. Would highly recommend Joy!

5 From Lucy on

My 13 year old cairn terrier has had such a happy time staying with Joy and Crumble. Joy was so good in keeping me up to date, with how she was doing. So reassuring when you are a long way away ! She obviously enjoyed having the run of the house and garden, socialising with Crumble, and doing her own thing. She was obviously very content, and although happy to see me would have been content to stay rather than come home !! 😬

5 From Pam on

Our minature Yorkshire Terrier Lula loves her stays with Joy. We can enjoy our holiday knowing she will be happy and loved.

5 From Chris Posgate on

Joy looked after our beloved cockapoo for a week whilst we were on holiday. We were very worried about leaving her but Joy was brilliant at keeping us informed on a daily basis which was very reassuring. Our little dog had fun, was made to feel at home and has a new friend crumbly! Thank you Joy for taking great care of her, she can't wait to go back!
