The Willows Dog Home Boarding

I’m so pleased I came across The Willows when I was looking for home boarding for my two dogs, one of whom is a rescue. It really is a home from home and Sandra and Dan clearly love what they do. From my initial enquiry, to the meet and greet and then the actual stay, it’s all been brilliant. It’s a fabulous place and I feel 100% happy and reassured that my dogs are being loved and looked after. They both enjoy going and love Sandra and Dan. Great communication throughout, it’s so nice to get messages and photos while they’re away.

Not only Sandra and Dan love dogs but they do such a professional, amazing job. Monroe (9 months) had the best time of his life with friends, long walks, care and love at The Willows. We had a fantastic time too, knowing how happy and well cared for he was. Some (mis-)behaviours were even left behind when he came back home. Loved it all; next holiday for dog and humans is already booked. Thank you.

We are so happy we found Sandra and her husband at The Willows. Our dog, Molly has special needs due to being beaten and because of this, we are extremely protective of her but we are 110% confident and comfortable leaving Molly in their capable and loving care. Molly instantly took to them and also gets on very well with their dog, Charlie who is a little sweetheart. My husband and I highly recommend The Willows and it's the only place we'll take our Molly.

We have struggled to find somewhere to take our 7 year old Cockapoo when we go away. We work from home so he is used to being with us but after an initial stay at The Willows he came back relaxed and happy. Superb setting and a real home from home.

Sandra and Dan provide such a lovely home from home for our sproodle Loki. We wanted to find somewhere that took the time to understand each dogs requirements and make each stay relaxing and fun - which they do with such care and attention. They provide peace of mind with regular updates and photos and I would recommend them to anyone who wants to leave their furry family member in the best possible care. We have Loki booked in for a number of stays over the next 7 months whilst we are away and its lovely to know shes in safe hands :-)

Absolutely first class dog home boarding......the care and attention that my Golden Retriever had was amazing..... I had regular updates with pictures from Sandra... Would not hesitate to recommend..... Ellie can’t wait for her next holiday stay!!!

Our dog stayed with Sandra and Dan at the Willows for 3 weeks in August 2023. It was the first time she'd stayed at a 'boarding' place. But really this was more like staying at a lovely hotel for her. The house and gardens are immaculate. It seems like she was very well looked after with regular walks in the countryside. We got regular updates (and photos). They don't take lots of dogs at the same time and made sure that she was going to be ok staying there by organising a day visit and an overnight visit beforehand. I will happily take Rose there again and would definitely recommend the Willows.

What a wonderful find !! Outstanding!!The Willows Dog boarding is everything every Caring dog owner should want to use if they value their pet dog. Our little Cavapoo Alfie has spent his first day out there today and it was obvious he enjoyed his stay from his smile and now notorious waggy tail. Beautiful home and facilities and surroundings.From the moment we met Sandra at a previous meet and greet we and Alfie were made most welcome. We were instantly reassured to know that Alfie would be lovingly cared for in a future planned overnight stay. The application form and registration on- line required by the council may initially seem daunting and unnecessary to some. But to us it meant that Sandra wants to provide a 5 Star stay for our precious pet and was more than willing to help us to complete it. We have never left Alfie anywhere before, but now have complete confidence to give him a holiday or day out again in the future. Thank you Sandra for the lovely photos you sent us during his stay.

The Willows Dog Home Boarding is perfect. Sandra is brilliant and I couldn't ask for a better home-from-home for my dog Sheldon. Beautiful home, facilities and surroundings. Very thorough asking for all the details regarding Sheldon, command words he knows, likes/dislikes etc. From the moment we met Sandra at the initial meet and greet we were made most welcome. Very professional, with regular updates and photos when Sheldon is staying. Thank you for giving me peace of mind when I have to go away, and most importantly for giving Sheldon the best stay away home!

I struggled to find a suitable dog boarder for my Cockapoo as she isn’t used to being left with anyone and doesn’t like being alone even for short periods of time. I was delighted to discover The Willows, which seems perfect for her, she has had two short stays so far and has been happy and relaxed both times. Every effort is made to create a home from home experience for your dog, with lots of love, attention, playtime and walks. I now have peace of mind that my dog will be well cared for and content while we enjoy our holiday.
