My name is Debbie, I offer boarding and day care for your dog in our cottage in the beautiful Buckinghamshire village of Newton Longville. I am fully licensed by Buckinghamshire Council and insured. I am a KC Assured Breeder and qualified dog groomer. I also hold a First Aid Certificate in Canine Care. I have 38 years experience of working with dogs. My aim is for our dog owners to be able to go on holiday and relax knowing that their fur babies are in the best hands.
We work all year round including Christmas and New year apart from our 4 weeks annual leave which we usually take out of holiday season.
We have a 3 bedroomed detached cottage with a garden in a beautiful village called Newton Longville about 5 miles from Milton Keynes. We have a large, secure garden. Your dog will live in our home as part of the family. We have lots of countryside walks and access to 8 acres of private land to walk the dogs in.
I walk the dogs first thing in the morning on a long field walk, they then have a shorter walk round the village at lunch time, then another field walk in the evening. This does depend on the health of the dog. Obviously if the weather is extremely hot I don't walk the dogs - although they will have access to a paddling pool (supervised). This depends on the dog of course - if I have elderly dogs or dogs that don't cope with long walks I walk them on a shorter walk. I will cater for their individual needs. All of our outside pavement surfaces are sanitised daily with a Sage Washer. We also have facilities for elderly or frail smaller dogs to be kept separately from the other dogs.
All of our doggy guests will need to be fully up to date with vaccinations, worming and flea treatment. We will take puppies and have a puppy procedure in place.
We do cater for dogs with medical issues such as epilepsy and diabetes to name but a few. We also have a few dogs on our books with dietary issues that we are happy to manage. We do only take neutered dogs and bitches unless of course they are puppies.
All dogs need to be dog-friendly and not destructive.
Fees for boarding start at £35.00 per calendar day per dog for boarding and increase according to size and breed. Daycare can vary in times as I am flexible so fees are discussed at time of booking. Pick up and drop off times are weekday mornings 9am, afternoons 4pm and weekend and Bank Holiday mornings mornings 9.30am afternoons 4pm as we have a routine for the dogs and don't want this disrupted. We are happy to send a copy of terms and conditions on request.
Finding Debbie was like gold dust! When we got our puppy Lola we always knew boarding would be a consideration for us and it made us nervous, we'd never had to use this service for our previous dogs. Debbie has been fantastic from start to finish, so professional and thorough for the best interest of humans and pooches alike. We loved the fact this would be home from home....and still being around 6 months old when this journey started, ur Lola was still very much our baby. Only having a small number of dogs in the home at any one time, also gave us reassurance that Lola could safely and happily socialise with other dogs whilst under constant supervision. Lola clearly loves her time in Debbie's home, she had been for a few visits prior to her week's stay and clearly had a wonderful time. Every time she has come home happy and content and always happy to return. We loved the photo updates while we were away, Lola was clearly having a great time. Considering she is still a puppy we were a little worried about routine going out of sync whilst we were away but unnecessarily so....Lola has return the same dog as when she left. We are so pleased with our decision to choose Debbie and cannot thank her and her pooches enough for taking great care of our fur baby. 100% we would recommend Debbie and absolutely will continue using her services. This gives us the great pet/life balance that we always knew we would need with reassurance that Lola is in great, fun and safe hands. Thanks

Lizzie always has a super time when she board's with Debbie. I highly recommend her services as her attention and attitude towards dog boarding is a top rate service. Lizzie has had so much fun and I will be using Debbie again as I feel very comfortable and never worry about my dog when she is looked after by Debbie. Thank you 😊

From the moment Charlie, our English bulldog entered Debbie's home he was made to feel welcome. Charlie was with Debbie for 13 days and every day while we were away our mind was at ease with photos and messages. Charlie is not a good eater in the mornings, but Debbie went out of her way to ensure Charlie ate and began to serve soft boiled eggs and toast. He loved it and still enjoying. Debbie is professional and so knowledgeable about all dogs. Thank you so much Debbie for making your home Charlie's home!
From Fi Webb on
I could not recommend Debbie enough, our mini dachshund had emergency back surgery after being paralysed mid-December but I had a pre planned work trip I couldn't move at the end of January so naturally was very worried to leave her with anyone. Debbie made me feel at ease from the moment I spoke to her. She not only made sure our dog was safe & continued her recovery but she also treated her like she was part of the family. She provided us regular updates and photos and our dog was calm & relaxed when we picked her up. We've already booked Debbie for all of our holidays this year & I know our dachshund cannot wait to come back!

I will be using Debbie going forward , she is just wonderful! Thank you Debbie , thank goodness we found you 🤩
From Miranda Vicente on
Our little pug Bonnie stayed with Debbie over the Christmas holiday and I was extremely pleased with the care she received! I have only used a kennel in the past, but since it had been sold and there were no other kennels with available space, someone suggested I give home boarding a try. I am so glad I did! Debbie was professional, caring, and attentive to all aspects of Bonnie's care. My family and I loved the many photos and updates we received during Bonnie's stay. We were able to enjoy our vacation thoroughly knowing that Bonnie was content, happy, and receiving the same individualised attention she gets at home. I would definitely recommend Debbie and look forward to booking Bonnie in with her again in the future!
From Gail Ritter on
Debbie was professional & reassuring from the start. Our 2 boxers had previously stayed with another home boarding but she retired so we were worried that they might not settle being a bit older... not a bit of it. They were so obviously happy to stay with Debbie & she in turn was pleased to see them. I had reassuring photos every day & was able to fully enjoy our holiday. Medication was no issue, Debbie managed all of their needs so well, including much needed cuddles in front of TV! I would highly recommend Debbie, our two, Bobbi & Bertie, certainly do! Thank you Debbie xx

This is the 1st time as I have left my beloved pooch at a dog boarding place. Scrappy had a better holiday than me, from his recation I can tell he had fun here and was very much loved like her own.would recommend this place.
From Gail Symonds on
Our Staffordshire Bull Terrier puppy has recently enjoyed his second holiday this year with Debbie. We know when we leave him , he is well looked after. Debbie is very experienced and knowledgeable when out it comes to looking after dogs , which gives us piece of mind whilst we are away . She keeps us updated with photos and notes on his wellbeing. Debbie had no hesitation in seeking advice from the vets when Bruce had an upset stomach , which made us feel reassured. We have already made plans for the next holiday boarding !!
From Mark Haworth on
Our two dogs stayed with Debbie for two weeks in August. From the moment they stepped in the door they were made to feel at home and part of the family. They absolutely loved Debbie and her husband. We felt complete confidence that Debbie was looking after our dogs fantastically whilst we were on holiday. They went on loads of walks and we received regular communication. I would highly recommend Debbie and we will definitely book again. Thanks Debbie!
From Lenka on
Debbie was wonderful with our dog. She looked after her for 10 nights whilst we were away on holiday. It was the first time we had left our dog and we were all very worried that she would be distressed but it was quite the opposite! She was so happy and well looked after. Debbie kept in touch for the duration sending photos and letting us know how she was doing. The day after we returned my husband bumped into Debbie's husband on a walk and our dog was so excited to see him, jumping and greeting him like she does family - can't get better proof that she was happy and loved than that!

Debbie is very knowledgeable and experienced with Dogs. I can leave my dog with her in the knowledge that she will be loved and cared for like she is at home. My dog is so happy when I drop her off to stay. The setting is wonderful and it's nice that she can mix with other dogs if she wants to, under her supervision.
From Nicky on
Our 9 month old puppy spent 2 weeks with Debbie and had a fantastic time. We received regular updates and pictures, which helped put me at ease as well! I will definitively take him back the next time we are away and thoroughly recommend Debbie's services!!
From Nikki on
I absolutely recommend Debbie to look after your much loved doggies. She offers a loving home and is honestly the best. I've struggled in the past to find someone that cares for my dog the way I do. I have no worries at all leaving my girl, she runs in happy without a look back at me. It is so very reassuring knowing I'm leaving my girl in a safe and loving home with Debbie. â¤ï¸ âï¸âï¸âï¸âï¸âï¸
From Alison Partridge on
Debbie looked after my fur baby for 3 days whilst we were away. I've never left her with anyone but family before but Debbie was so lovely from start to finish. Bella loved her right away and it felt so easy leaving her knowing she was going to be so well looked after. We got regular updates and if I messaged asking how Bella was Debbie was really quick to reply with a little update and pictures! We would recommend Debbie to anyone and I'm so happy we found her as kennels were just not an option for us!! Bella had the best time and not sure she really wanted to come home! Wouldn't hesitate to use Debbie again in the future - thank you so much Debbie for looking after my baby :)
From Nicky Foster on
Debbie was recommended and we are so glad we have found her. Local to us, Debbie was able to accommodate our dates needed and was very patient whilst we finalised details. When we dropped Teddy off , we all got a warm welcome, and a thorough run through of how Teddy's holiday would be. Debbie really took time to understand what Teddy might /might not like. Debbie kept us uo to date with how Teddy was settling and we really appreciated the photos taken during his stay. They showed just how settled he was . We would definitely recommend Debbie and will definitely be looking for Teddy to have a few holidays there every year. Thanks Debbie for taking such good care of him and providing us with a relaxing break.
From Claire Eldridge on
I'm so glad that Debbie has decided to go back to dog boarding after her break. My dog Scrappy loves going to Debbie's, he gets so excited as soon as we pull into the village. It is reassuring to know that he enjoys his holiday as much as we do. I can 100% recommend Debbie she is great with the dogs and always professional.
From Gail Symonds on
I left my dog with Debbie last week, I was a little apprehensive as he is elderly and diabetic. I need not have worried Debbie looked after him brilliantly, I would thoroughly recommend her. He has come home in very good spirits although I think he misses her dogs as he enjoyed the company. Thank you Debbie.
From Marcus Townsend on
We boarded our elderly dog who is diabetic & has cataracts with Debbie last weekend. We were a little apprehensive at first as this was his first time away from us. However, we needn't have worried as Debbie took it all in her stride. We would definitely recommend her as she is both consciousness & professional. Thanks again Debbie.
From Ros & Ray on
Debbie is the best reason I have to consider leaving my Bichon Frise, Indie, for a long holiday. Indie was recently diagnosted with epileptic seizure and was in the middle of tritrating his medication to control the symtoms but Debbie loked after him like her owns. She always ensure Indie recieved medication at the right time. She gave regular updates on how he was doing and sent us photos of him enjoying his new friends. He enjoyed socialising with Debbie and her dogs and doggy guests. He was not cooped up for hours with nothing to entertain him. He had a great time at Debbie's home. I can't thanks her enough.
From Sij Gilbert on
Debbie has been a huge part of my dog's life since I got him 18 months ago as a puppy. Debbie walks him for me when I'm at work and has him to stay at her home when we're on holiday. I can't recommend Debbie highly enough for her friendly and highly professional approach. Debbie is so flexible and helps me out at short notice when needed. I can leave my dog safe in the knowledge he's been expertly looked after and having a great time with Debbie's own dogs.
From Sue Skeggs on
Debbie has been looking after my dogs for the past couple of years when we go on holiday or just away for a couple of days. They are always healthy and happy upon our return, and in fact, don't want to leave their holiday home. Its nice to be able to relax knowing that they are well looked after and treated as part of the doggy family at Debbie's. Cannot recommend highly enough.
From June Chapman on
Details of the Recommendation: "I highly recommend Debbie and trust her explicitly with my dog, I have known Debbie for 3 years and she provides a fantastic service, Debbie walks my dog twice a week and is extremely flexible if we need to change days at short notice. Whenever we are away for the weekend or on holiday I have the comfort of knowing that my dog will be in safe and loving hands, going away and leaving your pet in care can be very stressful but Debbie alleviates this pressure and we are happy knowing that from the moment we leave our dog with Debbie she will be happy and safe and secure, she has lots of fun when we are away so we can enjoy our holiday or time away without fretting about our pet."
