They’ll get to go on plenty of walks, keep their favourite toys around them and stick to their regular food and even bowls. You’ll be able to pack them a bag full of their favourite things and treats so they feel as comfortable and happy as possible.

We operate across the UK through our network of carefully selected and expertly trained franchise business owners, all of whom are passionate dog lovers. In each region we have a team of host families. Our dog home boarding hosts undergo a rigorous selection process and are inspected by us each time they look after a dog.

We meet our hosts every time in person and make sure your dog gets the very best.
At Barking Mad, we want to make it easy for you to find the right home dog boarding for your pet. Here is our four-step process.
Firstly we will come to meet you at home to find out all about your dog, down to the very last detail. Let’s have a cuppa!
Next, together with you, we will carefully select the most appropriate Dog Home Boarding Near You to meet your individual needs. We have over 70 branches nationwide with local dog sitters so it doesn’t matter if you need dog boarders in Chelmsford, Leeds or Scotland, we have got you covered.
We then arrange to collect your dog from you. Many dogs become anxious on being taken by their owners to their carer and then watching their family walk away from them. Even the sight of a suitcase being packed can alert some dogs to imminent upheaval and cause stress. By collecting your dog from you, they leave their home with everything still in place as they know it.
Once you have returned from your holiday, we will bring your dog back to you. They will arrive home and be delighted to find everything in a state of normality, which will ease their return to usual everyday life. They even have a postcard telling you what they’ve been up to and how much they’ve enjoyed their stay. Helping your dog adjust.
We have puppy sitters up and down the country. A puppy can be a lot to take care of, from chewing and teething to not being fully house trained, it can be difficult to find a family or friend willing to take on the responsibility while you are away. You can find out more about our puppy services and local puppy sitting near you here.
A dog boarding can vary in cost from how many dogs you are booking in, how long they will be staying with the sitter, the time of the year and any specialist care your dog may need. You can find out more in the price breakdown of dog sitting here.
If you are going away for 7 days or more, we also arrange a mini sleepover with your selected host to give your dog a chance to get used to their home-from-home. This provides both you and your dog with additional peace of mind, ensuring a successful relationship has already started to blossom before you depart for your main holiday.
