Home Boarding
A home-from home experience.
PadPaws offers a Home Boarding Service for those long-needed family holidays, individual 24-hour stays, and nights away or business trips. Your dog gets to relax, enjoy walks, cuddles and time to socialise amongst friends, all whilst you enjoy your time away.
What's Included
Everything your dog needs, nothing they don't.
Every boarding stay is tailored around your dog's usual routine, so the only thing that changes is the address.
Real home environment
Your dog stays within Joy’s own home, with likeminded companionship.
Daily walks & playtime
Exercise matched to your dog's usual routine, age and energy levels, lead or off-lead, by agreement.
Their own food & bedding
Owners provide food, bedding and leads for daily walks, familiar, recognisable items that support your dog's continued health and welfare.
Photo & video updates
Regular updates sent throughout the stay, so you can relax knowing exactly how they're getting on.
Compatible companionship
Dogs will interact with other compatible dogs, tailored to each dogs needs.
Licensed & insured
Boarding is provided under PadPaws' 5★ Animal Activity Licence, in full compliance with current legislation.

Every new boarding client goes through the same relaxed, thorough process, so both you and your dog feel completely at ease before the first stay.

03
Booking confirmed
Once everyone’s happy, we confirm your dates so the fun times can begin.

Home from home
Your dog settles in for walks, cuddles and socialising, while you enjoy your time away.

"What can we say about Pad Paws other than LOVE! LOVE! LOVE! Basil our beautiful Boxer pup was a very nervous boy before he went for his first play date at Auntie Joy's. But within a few weeks of fun, care and nurturing by Joy and the team he is a completely changed lad. Confident and caring and full of cuddles and kisses. Joy knows her trade well and carefully selects the poochies she puts together on any one day. He has the sixth sense that doggies seem to have in the morning of his weekly stay at Pad Paws. Talk about excited!!! If he could, he'd go to see his Auntie Joy and all his friends every day. Thank you so much from Basil and all of us hoomans too!"

"Love Pad Paws - can go away on holiday and leave my fur baby assured she is getting the best care and attention. Joy is fabulous in responding and sends updates and photos to me for my peace of mind. I'm not local to Pad Paws and the journey up the M6 is definitely worth it - wouldn't go anywhere else for 5 star dog care. Thank you Pad Paws 🐾"
