About Geraldine

Having to leave your best friend behind can be really stressful and worrying for us dog owners. Most dogs will feel anxious staying in a new environment, so I always provide a home from home experience where your dog can feel safe, secure, loved and have some fun. Your dog will always be treated as part of my family!

I live with my husband and two boys, age 14 and 19; four rescue dogs and two senior cats who reside upstairs. I am proud to say that my family share my love for animals, so your dog will get plenty of attention and cuddles. 

I have owned, fostered and worked with dogs for over twenty years and will guarantee that your dog will receive a high level of care and attention when boarding with me.

I work from home so your dog will be supervised at all times. The garden is secured by a high wall. I have a doggy camera looking into the garden aswell. I board a maximum of one dog at a time or two dogs from the same household.

There is a large park within a two minute walk from my house which includes an off leash dog park and lovely forest walks. Your dog will get at least two 40 minute walks every day. One walk each day will be through the forest where there is plenty of new smells to sniff.

I can administer medication where needed and provide basic grooming like bathing, brushing and nail trims if required.

I will accept small breeds who enjoy interacting with other dogs and who are not afraid of larger dogs.

I will only accept neutered males and dogs who are fully vaccinated to include Kennel Cough Vaccine. 

I'll be delighted to send you regular daily photos and updates on WhatsApp or Messenger.

If you have any questions please do not hesitate to ask!

Another great stay for Sonny with Geraldine and her family. He is treated like their own when he is there and settles in straight away. He learns so much by following all of the family dogs and comes back more confident each time. Loads of photos and updates all the time. Takes him a while to get over his holiday blues when he gets home, he just loves Geraldine's so much. Thank you again

It was the first time we left our dog with anyone for a few days so were a little nervous… well due to how well Geraldine looked after our dog we were unsure if he would want to come home 😃 ! Geraldine sent regular updates to us which was fantastic! Would definitely recommend Geraldine and will use her again
