Top cities for dog boarding in United Kingdom

For pet parents, one of the hardest things about going to work each day is wondering what your dog will get up to while you are gone. At Pawshake, we understand that dogs need activity and interaction during the day, so why not book your dog with one of our trusted sitters in St Albans for a doggy day care service? You can drop your dog off at the sitter’s home on the way to work or organise with your local St Albans Pawshake sitter to pick up and drop off your dog for you.

Pet day care is a great way to keep your dog mentally and physically active during the day so that you can come home to a happy, relaxed dog. Pawshake’s home day care service is great for young dogs who need constant supervision: puppy daycare allows your pup to maintain a consistent routine, which is important during the toilet training process. It’s also a great option for dogs who need extra care and attention, or those who are extra active.

Our sitters who offer doggy day care and puppy daycare services are more adaptable than your average big day care centre. Numbers are kept small and some Pawshake sitters will only take in one dog at a time. This means they can work around your timing and any special requirements your dog may have. So, let your four-legged best friend enjoy their day with a fun and loving St Albans sitter who will shower them with love and dedicated attention. On top of that, you will also get photos and updates during the day so that you can follow your dog’s day care adventures!

Every day care booking also comes included with The Pawshake Guarantee, which includes veterinary coverage, customer service support 7 days a week and more.

petBoarding

I’m a proud cat-holic and lifelong cat lover, currently living with my 9-year-old cat, Mung Mung. Over the years, I’ve shared my life with three cats in total, and having loved and cared for them from kittenhood through to their senior years has shaped my deep respect for feline wellbeing. Cats aren’t just pets to me — they’re family, and I care for every cat as if they were my own.
My motivation to be a pet sitter comes from genuine passion. I love understanding cats: their routines, personalities, nutrition, behaviour, and health needs. I previously volunteered at a stray cat shelter and have over five years of experience as a cat sitter, caring for more than 20 cats with a wide range of temperaments and requirements. I have hands-on experience supporting cats with serious liver and kidney conditions, including giving oral medication, injections, and hand-feeding when needed.
I’m happy to feed, play, clean litter trays, and keep your home tidy while you’re away. I also enjoy taking cute photos to help owners feel connected and reassured. For boarding services, I only accept fully vaccinated cats to ensure everyone’s safety. If you have questions, worries, or just want to talk cats, I’m always glad to help.&nbsp;


I love being around animals and have grown up always having several family pets including dogs, hamsters, chinchilla, rabbits, fish, canaries. 
I love being outside in the fresh air exploring new walks and really enjoy the company of dogs, especially ones that love cuddles. 
Also very happy to pop in and do welfare checks if your pet doesn't require walking. 
I haven't got a dog of my own as currently in a flat where the landlord doesn't allow them  but we do have a tortoise, fish and a pony  
I'm an experienced midwife currently working in the hospital part time which I love, with my medical experience I'm happy to give your pets medications if required. 
My children are school age so I can be quite flexible, I also drive so location isn't an issue. 
Im more than happy to answer any questions you may have and look forward to meeting with your pets

VETERINARY ASSISTANT CERTIFIED. From a very young age, I have shown signs of a huge love for animals. I used to rescue wild animals and I domesticated 7 feral kittens and their mother. I was 8 years old at the time. My whole life revolved around animals. I grew up around German Sheperds. When I was 14 years old I had my own German Shepherd. I trained it and took full care and responsibility for it. I just LOVE dogs, cats and other animals. All breeds and shapes. I live in Watford and I have my own 4 cats and our new addition; toy poodle Coco, who is 8 months old. I love training dogs. I love feeding them, bathing and taking for a long walks. Playing together and cuddling up.
SERVICES I OFFER: I am currently working from home and so very flexible to stay in your house or just visit your pet and feed it or take it for walk. I am fairly flexible during weekends too. 
I would like to offer my availability to look after your cat or your dog or your pet! I offer services such as doggy day care,where I come into your home and look after your dog for the day, take them for walks, provide breakfast and dinner, play a lot! I also offer services such as housesitting,where I come and live in your house for the duration of your holidays so that your cat or dog does not have to be separated from their familiar environment!
If you wish,I also catsit,that is I come and feed your cat, once or twice per day according to your requirements,and also play and cuddle a lot!
I do dog walking as well,where I only take your dog for a walk so that I can better get to know his individual behaviour!
I have many years of experience being around all kind of breeds. Small, medium and big. My connection with animals is very strong and deep and I find it easy to communicate with them. It is my passion and love to be around animals. 

HiHi, I’m Niina, a lifelong dog lover and experienced pet sitter based in London. Dogs have been part of my life for over 15 years. I grew up with a Fox Terrier, a French Bulldog, a cat and a parrot, and our family Fox Terrier is now 15 years old. I currently live with my friendly and gentle Chihuahua, Rocky, who loves being around other dogs.
For over two years, I attended weekly dog training classes with my French Bulldog in Estonia, which gave me a strong understanding of canine behaviour, body language and positive training. I have also been actively pet sitting in London for the past year. My experience with animals goes beyond dogs too, as I have experience with horses and other larger animals through horse riding and training.
I work remotely as a freelance marketing specialist, so I spend most of my time at home and can give dogs plenty of attention and companionship throughout the day. My schedule is very flexible, and I rarely need to leave home for more than a short period. If a small dog is comfortable going out with me and the owner is happy with it, I’m also happy to take them along to dog-friendly places when appropriate.
I follow each dog’s usual routine, including feeding, walks, playtime and rest, and I’m happy to reinforce basic commands or follow any specific care instructions, including medication when needed. Walks are usually around 30–60 minutes depending on the dog’s individual needs.
As I currently have my own Chihuahua, Rocky, I only accept one additional dog at a time. If two dogs are from the same household, I’m happy to care for both together. This allows me to make sure every dog receives plenty of individual attention, care and companionship.🫶🏽

I I am a passionate, dog-lover with years of experience caring for pups of all kinds! For the past six years, I've been actively helping rescue dogs, giving me invaluable experience in handling dogs with different personalities and needs. My own dog is incredibly gentle and welcomes every furry guest like family, ensuring an stress-free and social stay. I've been providing safe and loving dog boarding for two years without any issues, offering a home full of care, cuddles, and fun. Whether your pup needs extra attention, playtime, or just a cozy place to relax, I treat every dog as my own!

I work from home all day, so your pup will never be lonely. I have plenty of time to play, give belly rubs, and ensure they're well cared for throughout the day.

Our own friendly dog loves having playmates, so your pup will always have a buddy to run around with. In the afternoons, our kids are back from school, and they absolutely adore dogs, so even more love and attention for your pup. Whether it's playtime, walks, or just relaxing together, we make sure every dog feels like part of our family.
I have a large fenced garden for plenty of playtime and a friendly resident dog who loves making new friends. I understand that every dog is unique, so I follow their routine whether it is meals, walks, or snuggles just like they are used to. Whether they love to play or prefer to relax, I make sure they are comfortable, happy, and well cared for.

Hi! My name is Mia and I’m 23 years old. I live in Howlands, Welwyn Garden City, in close proximity to Sherrardspark Wood, one of my go-to spots for relaxed, fun dog walks surrounded by nature! 

I studied animal care in college and I’ve been around animals my entire life. I previously worked at Pets at Home for over a year, so I’m very confident caring for pets day-to-day. I’ve also pet-sat for lots of friends and family, and have looked after many dogs and cats through BorrowMyDoggy. I’m a huge cat lover myself and grew up with them, so feline care is something I’m super comfortable with! 

I have two cats at my family home (not at my current address), so any pets I board will have my flat entirely to themselves. This makes it an especially calm environment for cats who prefer quiet, stress-free spaces. 

Services I offer:
1. Dog Walking
30–45 minutes tailored to your dog’s energy level, whether that’s a gentle stroll or an energetic walk. Plenty of exercise, fresh air, sniffing time, and bathroom breaks.

2. 1x Visit a Day
Up to 1 hour. Perfect for cats, dogs, rabbits, or small animals. Includes feeding, litter cleaning, fresh water, playtime, cuddles (if they want them!), and company.

3. 2x Visit a Day
Two visits, ideal for cats who need medication, kittens who need more attention, or dogs that get lonely during the day.

4. Doggy Day Care
Supervised care in my home: walks, playtime, and plenty of company.

5. Boarding (Cats &amp; Dogs)
Overnight care in a safe, comfortable environment. Cats get a peaceful, quiet space, enrichment, brushing (if they enjoy it), and all the cosy spots they like to explore. Dogs get walks, play, and plenty of affection.

Other pets (cats, rabbits, fish, small animals etc.) Happy to discuss needs and pricing separately.

I’m available seven days a week and happy to fit visits or walks around your schedule, just let me know what works best for you! 

Please let me know in advance if your pet has any medical conditions, is elderly, requires medication, or needs any special care. I’m confident with all breeds, ages, temperaments, and species.

I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, so I’m thrilled to have this opportunity and can’t wait to meet you and your furry (or scaly!) family.
