Dog walking, day care & home boarding in Dogsthorpe (PE1)

If you're in Dogsthorpe (PE1), you're well within reach for all three of my services: fully insured dog walking, doggy day care, and council-licensed home boarding, all run to the same small-group, one-to-one standard whichever part of Peterborough you're in.

★★★★★

“My dog is always so excited to see them and comes home happy, healthy, and perfectly tired out after every walk. I love receiving the updates and photos, which gives me complete peace of mind while I'm away or at work.”

Right outside my door

Home boarding and day care both happen right here, at my own home near Werrington on the north side of Peterborough, roughly a 10-15-minute drive from Dogsthorpe, shown below.

Coming off Werrington Parkway, between the Papyrus Road/Vindis Audi roundabout and the Glinton McDonald's roundabout, turn onto Gasworks Road. Turn left and follow the road down to a left turn onto Hurn Road, then follow that all the way down and round the corner to the right to reach Sandra's Place.

Where walks happen

Plenty of walks stay local, straight out of your own street and round the area. Other times, depending on the dog and what suits them best that day, I'll drive out further afield instead, Ferry Meadows, Nine Bridges along the Maxey Cut and Eye Green Nature Reserve are regular favourites, all covered in my guide to the best places to walk dogs in Peterborough. Which one on any given day just depends on the dog.

Dog walking

A 30-minute walk is £10 and an hour is £16 during the week, or £15 and £24 at weekends, with groups kept to a maximum of four dogs per walker so every dog gets proper attention. See the full price list or get an instant estimate for your dates.

Doggy day care & home boarding

For a day at work or a longer stay away, day care and home boarding both happen at my own home nearby, council licensed to the Higher Standard (Licence No. 132982) and fully insured. Your dog stays as one of the family, not in a kennel run, with garden play, sofa snuggles and round-the-clock care. New boarders start with a one-hour Stay & Play session (£15) to settle in first.

Not sure which service suits your dog, or how it compares to a traditional kennel? My home boarding or kennels quiz gives an honest steer in four quick questions, and the guide to choosing a boarding service covers what to check before you book.
