Home boarding and day care

Going on holiday? Out at work? Or just out for the day?

Desford Dog Care provides a loving, home from home environment where your dog will get plenty of human interaction and stimulating exercise, when you are not there. I have the facilities to separate dogs which allows for the young to play and the elderly or more reserved dogs to relax undisturbed.

  • Dogs are guaranteed daily exercise.
  • Spacious and comfortable living area.
  • Tailored and experienced care guaranteed.
  • Their happiness and your peace of mind are my priority.
  • Dogs are my passion and spending time with them is what I love!

Quote Marks

I can thoroughly recommend Desford Dog Care, who have looked after my cockapoo Charlie for nearly a year. He loves going and gets excited when he is picked up. Being a first time dog owner, Rachel who is very friendly and easy to talk to person , has been brilliant with advice! With her vast knowledge of dogs she has provided our family with advice and information on behaviour and other areas which has had a positive impact straight the way on Charlie and our family. The way Rachel cares for Charlie and the helps she has given us, and also seeing all the wonderful pictures and comments on Facebook of Charlie’s day with Rachel, you can just tell this is Rachel’s passion and not just a job! Charlie stayed with Rachel for a week whilst we were on holiday. I missed him but Rachel was happy to text to tell me how Charlie was, which helped me to enjoy my holiday.

Thank you Rachel for giving outstanding home from home care to my Charlie. I wouldn’t want him to go anywhere else!

I have been trusting Desford Dog Care with the care of my energetic Labrador wince she was 10 weeks old and I am so pleased with the care and attention she receives. Rachel is calm and caring and been such a source of advice and assistance. Ginny loves spending time with Rachel and always comes home happy and exhausted. I would have no hesitation in recommending Desford Dog Care.

Rachel is incredible with dogs, and Fern, our crazy cockapoo just adores her. Fern is so well cared for at daycare that I never have to worry. The photos Rachel posts of the fun and mayhem that Fern and all her doggy pals get up to are just fantastic to see. I can’t recommend her highly enough; we are so lucky and She had made Fern’s first 8 months even more settled for us all. Thank you.

We first heard about Desford dog care via recommendation from a friend and havnt been disappointed. She has our dogs whilst we’re on holiday and also for training too. Rachel’s shows good knowledge and understanding to a dogs wants and needs and is very comfortable with tackling the most challenging of dogs (we should know)… Desford dog care is a reliable trustworthy service. Rachel ensures the dogs are well stimulated in her care with plenty of exercise and walks to keep them busy. Happy to reccomend her to family and friends.

I wanted to thank you from the bottom of my heart for the care that my doggies receive in your care. Knowing that our three pugs, Barry, Paul and Audrey are happy, safe and healthy is the most important thing for us when considering care for the doggies. Leaving the Pugs with you and enabling us to travel for work and take holidays knowing that our fur babies are having a holiday or a day out too is a game changer. Seeing the regular updates, pictures of them with their pals on facebook, and the pictures you send of them looking happy and relaxed are wonderful, and when you arrive at our home to collect them the pugs are so excited they can barely contain themselves. Recently whilst on holiday for a week (the longest I have every left them) seeing them fast asleep bundled together and being treated as part of your family was so reassuring and relaxing while we were away. I cannot recommend you enough and I trust you and your judgement absolutely and know that in any circumstances their care will always be a priority.
