PetStay Leicestershire & Rutland - Dog Home Boarding Covering Leicestershire and Rutland Area

PetStay Leicestershire & Rutland provides licensed home dog boarding for owners who would prefer a home-based alternative to kennels. Dogs stay in the home of a carefully selected PetStay carer, where they can settle into a comfortable environment with their normal routines maintained as closely as possible.

When an enquiry is received, PetStay takes details about the dog, their routine and individual needs before matching them with a suitable available carer. Owners and their dogs are then invited to meet the carer at their home before booking, giving everyone the opportunity to make sure the arrangement feels right.

Dogs from different households are not mixed together. Some carers may have a dog of their own, and where a visiting dog is happy to stay with another friendly dog, a meeting can be arranged beforehand to see whether they are a good match. PetStay carers are experienced dog lovers who are personally interviewed and selected to provide a safe, loving and comfortable home environment.

About Me
Amanda is the owner of PetStay Leicestershire & Rutland. She first became a PetStay carer six years ago, and since then she and her family have made many new canine friends.

Amanda grew up in the countryside and has had many family pets over the years, including a pony, goat, rabbits, birds, hamsters, a ferret and a dog. Her family currently has a green-winged macaw. As an animal lover, she understands how important it is for owners to feel confident that their dog is in safe and caring hands while they are away.

Amanda takes time to learn about each dog before arranging a stay so that they can be matched with a suitable carer. The Leicestershire & Rutland branch is fully licensed, and PetStay carers are covered by public liability insurance.

PetStay's home boarding service gives dogs the opportunity to stay in a caring home while their owners are away, with familiar routines and individual requirements taken into account throughout their stay.

Reviews

“Rolo our 1.5yr old Cockapoo has been staying with Penny & Steve for just over a year now and he absolutely loves it. He has had two lengthy stays and an overnight and every time, he races to the front door, knowing where he is going, so I guess he likes going! Penny takes such good care of Rolo and I can go on holiday, relaxed, knowing he is in the safest of hands. She takes him on long walks, rides in the car and he loves exploring her garden (and house) and finding things that had been forgotten. Penny calls it 'being busy'. I call it being mischievious! Penny send me regular updates and photos of his adventures which my Daughter loves receiving. Recently he stayed and needed some medication giving and a wound keeping an eye on and Penny took excellent care of him and the vet was really pleased when we returned for a check up. Thanks Penny. ”

“I have been using Petstay for just under 3 years. My two dogs recently stayed with Amy in Mid July and she was brilliant. She kept me up to date with photos and texts and my dogs had a great time. I would 100% recommend Petstay to anyone thinking of using them. The service is more personal and gives me peace of mind knowing my dog is being cared for and kept in their own routine rather than sending them to a kennel. ”

“Our two Jack Russell dogs, Harry and Rosie love going to stay with their carer Helen whilst we go on holiday. They are thoroughly spoilt and nothing is too much trouble. We are so grateful that we have a loving holiday home for them to stay on their holiday.”

“We used PetStay for the first time a couple of weeks ago. We were very anxious leaving macy with a stranger in a strange place but we were able to arrange a visit prior to leaving her for the full week. Chris was amazing and she spoilt macy! We were sent updates which put us as ease which was great particularly as we had gone away to get married. Knowing macy was happy and settled allowed us not to worry. When we returned, Chris gave us an update on how macy had been and it was clear she had looked after her. We will definitely be using Chris again and would highly recommend this service to our friends and family! ”

“My dog Alfie had a lovely time staying with Maria and her family for 2 weeks in October. He was given lots of cuddles and attention and was taken for some good long walks which he enjoys. Maria sent me regular updates and photos so I could see how much he was enjoying his "holiday". He is going to have another holiday with her again in March, which I am sure he will really enjoy.”

“October 12th -20th 2018, Spike our chocolate Labrador stayed with Sarah and her family for the first time. From the photos we received whilst away we saw he was having a fantastic time. This made our holiday even better as we had no concerns whatsoever about him, because we knew that he was safe, secure and well cared for. Great service! ”

“Our Bedlington has stayed again with Chris and John. He treats their home like his second home and he loves them both. He rushes in to greet them when we arrive. When we come to collect Bertie, he is always happy , healthy and busy with his toys. We can go away without worries because we know that Chris and John will provide all the care that Bertie needs - and they can cope with his stubborn ways too! We hope we can always use Chris and John,s services in the future, ”

“We have been using Petstay for several years now. Every time we leave Lotti and Willa, our two German Short Haired Pointers, with Peter we can tell that they are very happy to stay with him and his own labrador Beth. They always settle in very well and we know that they are very well looked after. Peter takes them for long walks and we are more than happy that he keeps them on their leads as they are strong hunting dogs. Peter even buys them tennis balls to play with in his garden. Its a real home from home for them and we can relax on holiday knowing they are safe and happy. ”

“Molly loved her stay with Yvonne and Peter while we were on our holiday, we had no worries what so ever as we received updates and pictures throughout the week. It felt like she was being cared for by a member of our family. Already booked with Yvonne for 2 more stays, we would highly recommend both Yvonne and Peter for the great care and love they show and also Jane for arranging it all. ”

- Chris Murray

“Arnold had another lovely stay with Barry and his family. They are such nice people and really look after Arnold like he’s there own dog. They have a lovely garden for Arnold to use and take him in lovely walks. I have bo worries at all leaving Arnold with Barry while we go away. Arnold loves staying there and could not get out of the car quick enough when he knew where he was!! Thank you Barry, family and Petstay x”

“We found Petstay online, from the very start from our initial online enquiry followed by a phone call from Jane we were very happy that our 5 month puppy would be looked after as if she was at home. We didn’t want to try kennels so this was the perfect alternative, Yvonne and her husband we found to be perfect carers and we have booked already for 2 further stays and we would have no hesitation to recommend Petstay to anybody ”

- Chris Murray

“Louie our Labradoodle had a wonderful time with his Petty carer.... She and her lovely family ensured that he had a very special time as part of their household. We went on holiday without any concerns whatsoever about him, knowing that he was safe, secure and would be well cared for. Great service!”
