Overview 
Hi everyone, my name is Anna, and together with my family, we are true dog lovers. Dogs have always brought so much joy, warmth, and happiness into our home, and that is why we decided to offer a home-based dog boarding service in a safe, loving, and family environment. When your dog stays with us, they will not just be “boarded”; they will be welcomed as part of our family. We understand how important it is to leave your dog with someone you can trust, so we do everything we can to make each dog feel safe, settled, loved, and comfortable from the moment they arrive. We offer a calm, caring, and supervised home environment where your dog’s normal routine will be followed as closely as possible, including feeding times, walks, play, rest, cuddles, and any individual needs they may have. Every dog is different, so we take the time to get to know their personality, habits, likes, dislikes, and any worries they may have. Our aim is to give owners complete peace of mind, knowing their dog is being cared for by a responsible, trustworthy, and pet-loving family. We are happy to provide regular updates and photos during your dog’s stay, so you can relax knowing they are safe, happy, and receiving plenty of love and attention. With us, your dog will be cared for like one of our own.&nbsp;
Insurance 
I believe in doing things properly and responsibly. That is why I hold specialist pet insurance designed specifically for home dog boarding services and in line with local authority licensing expectations. This includes public liability cover of up to £10 million, offering protection in the unlikely event of injury or damage involving dogs in my care. My insurance also includes care, custody and control cover, which means dogs staying with me are protected in the unlikely event of illness, injury, or loss while under my supervision. I hope this gives owners extra reassurance that their dogwill be cared for in a safe, responsible, and well-prepared home environment.&nbsp;
Fully Licensed and Approved 
I know how much trust it takes to leave your beloved dog with someone else, and I want every pet owner to feel confident and reassuredwhen choosing our family. That is why I am also fully licensed and have been formally approved by BCP Council to provide home dog boarding services.  Having a licence means that our home, care arrangements, safety measures, and the way we look after dogs have been checked to make sure they meet the required standards for home dog boarding. It gives owners extra peace of mind that their dog will be staying in a safe, suitable, and responsible home environment.  For us, being licensed is not just a requirement — it is part of doing things properly and showing pet owners that their dog’s welfare, comfort, and happiness will always come first.&nbsp;
Experience with Animals 
As a family, we have practical experience caring for animals, including our own pets, pets belonging to friends and family, and dogs who have stayed with us through home boarding. We have looked after dogs of different ages, breeds, sizes, and personalities, from young energetic dogs who need plenty of exercise, play, and stimulation, to older dogs who need a slower pace, gentle handling, comfort, and extra patience. We also have experience caring for dogs with health needs, mobility difficulties, separation anxiety, nervousness, and behavioural challenges. We understand that every dog is different, so we always take time to learn their routine, temperament, body language, and individual needs. Our experience includes high-energy breeds such as Dobermansand Pomskies, as well as smaller dogs with big personalities, including feisty Chihuahuas and playful Dachshunds. This experience has helped us become confident, patient, and attentive carers who understand the importance of routine, consistency, supervision, and responding to each animal as an individual.&nbsp;
Training 
To further enhance my knowledge and help maintain high standards of care in a pet-boarding environment, I have completed training in:&nbsp;&nbsp;

Pet Sitting&nbsp;
Canine Behaviour&nbsp;
Pet Grooming&nbsp;
Pet First Aid &amp; CPR&nbsp;
Understanding Canine Anxiety Diploma — in progress&nbsp;

I also have a professional background in care, which has helped me develop a range of transferable skills that support a safe, organised, responsible, and attentive approach to pet care.&nbsp;&nbsp;
My wider professional development has included training in areas such as:&nbsp;&nbsp;

Fire safety&nbsp;
Food safety and hygiene&nbsp;
Infection prevention and control&nbsp;
Health and safety&nbsp;

These areas of knowledge support my overall approach to maintaining a clean, safe, well-organised home environment.&nbsp;
Location 
We are ideally located next to Turbary Common, one of Bournemouth’s important nature reserves and the largest area of heathland in north Bournemouth. It offers a lovely natural setting with heathland, wooded areas, scrub, and peaceful walking routes, giving dogs plenty of interesting sights and smells to enjoy. Being so close to this beautiful green space means we can offer varied daily walks with opportunities for gentle exercise, sniffing, exploring, and mental stimulation. We are always mindful that Turbary Common is a protected nature reserve, so walks are planned responsibly and in line with local guidance, including lead requirements when needed.&nbsp;
Garden 
We also have a fully secured, spacious garden where dogs can enjoy safe outdoor time throughout the day. It is a lovely space for supervised play, stretching their legs, exploring, and of course doing plenty of important sniffing!&nbsp;
Equipment / Crate 
If your pet is crate-trained or enjoys having their own enclosed resting space, we can provide a suitable crate for small to medium-sized dogs, so there is no need to bring your own.  Crate size: 70 cm (H) × 80.5 cm (W) × 59 cm (D). In addition, for maximum safety and peace of mind, we usetwo secure safety gates positioned within the home. These are placed in doorways to help manage movement around the house and significantly reduce the risk of accidental escape. This allows us to maintain a controlled, safe environment while still giving your pet plenty of space to relax and move comfortably.&nbsp;
Children 
We have two considerate children aged 10 and 14. They are calm, respectful, and used to being around animals.  Your pet will receive plenty of positive attention; however, we fully understand that not all pets enjoy cuddles or constant interaction. If your pet prefers their own space, this will always be respected.&nbsp;
Smoke-Free Home 
Our home is completely smoke-free, providing a clean, fresh, and healthy environment.  Your pet will return home relaxed and comfortable — no lingering smells, just happy memories.&nbsp;
Rules and Routine 
We respect and follow your pet’s established routines and house rules.  Whether that means no furniture access or full “four-legged royalty” privileges, we will stick to what works best for your pet. From structured days to relaxed evenings with gentle company— and the occasional Netflix cuddle — we will ensure your pet’s stay feels familiar, safe, and enjoyable.&nbsp;
Capacity
Our home boarding is intentionally kept small-scale and is offered on a limited basis around our existing commitments. We do not operate as a high-volume boarding business, and availability varies depending on our circumstances and whether we feel we can provide the right level of care and attention to each dog. Every booking is considered individually, taking into account the dog’s personality, individual needs, size, temperament, and suitability for sharing the home environment with any other dogs who may be staying with us. There are also periods when we do not take any boarding bookings at all, and at other times we may have only one dog staying with us. Where circumstances and availability allow, we may occasionally be able to offer solo boarding. Our priority is always to accept only the bookings that comfortably fit around our existing commitments and allow us to provide a calm, attentive and enjoyable home environment for the dogs staying with us.&nbsp;
Professional Background and Transferable Skills 
I have a professional background in care, which has helped me develop a wide range of transferable skills that support the way I manage our home-boarding service. These include strong observation and communication skills, organisation, risk awareness and management, accurate record keeping, maintaining high standards of hygiene and environmental safety, and responding calmly and appropriately to any emerging concerns. My experience has also strengthened my ability to notice changes in a dog’s usual behaviour or general wellbeing, maintain structured and predictable routines, provide reassurance in unfamiliar situations, and seek advice from owners or veterinary professionals whenever appropriate. These transferable skills support my approach to providing a safe, attentive, calm, well-organised, and caring environment for every dog staying with us.&nbsp;
Supporting Dogs With Routine Medication 
My professional background has given me experience of carefully following medication instructions, maintaining accurate records, observing for changes, and following established safety procedures. When caring for a dog who requires routine medication, I follow the owner’s written instructions and any relevant veterinary guidance carefully.  My professional experience relates to human healthcare and does not replace veterinary expertise. However, the organisational skills, attention to detail, record-keeping, and careful adherence to instructions developed through my professional background are helpful when supporting dogs who require routine medication.&nbsp;&nbsp;
