Dog boarding at a walker's home

An alternative to kennels: your dog stays at the walker's home, as one of the family, with walks every day and an update with photos.

  • Company from morning to night at the walker's home, and walks every day
  • The profile describes the home, other pets and how many households they host at once
  • One update a day, with photos

Who it is for

Sociable dogs, long stays, building work or a move at home, or when you would rather not leave keys.

What a stay looks like

  1. Gets the home ready before they arrive: bed, water, gates and fences checked.

  2. Welcomes your dog and their things on the arrival day.

  3. Introduces them calmly to the home and any other pets, without forcing it.

  4. Keeps to the food and times from home, and the medication, if any.

  5. Walks them every day, plays and keeps an eye on appetite and toilet habits.

  6. Sends an update every day with photos.

  7. Hands your dog back on the departure day, at the agreed time.

Frequently asked questions

How much is boarding?

Usually €18 to €30 a night. Each walker sets their own price and you see the total before booking.

How do I know what the home is like?

The walker's profile describes the home, the other animals and how many households they take at once, and says whether they offer a free first meeting before the stay.

What do I bring?

The lead and a collar with an ID tag, food for every day plus a few spare, the vaccination booklet and a blanket or toy that smells of home.

Do I meet the walker first?

It depends on the walker. Some offer a free first meeting before the first booking, so you meet, the walker meets your dog and you agree on keys and routine: it says so on their profile. You can always ask questions through messages before you book.
