7 Benefits of Home Boarding Your Dog

Booking a holiday always comes with a difficult decision to make as a pet owner – do you take your pets with you or leave them behind. If the latter is what you choose, you have a number of options from kennels, to house sitters to home boarding.

At Jog My Dog we recommend house sitting and home boarding over kennels every time. Through experience we have found that dogs are far less stressed when their usual routines are maintained; and if you select the right home boarding host your dog may have such a great time he doesn’t want to come home!

Our home boarding hosts are approved by Milton Keynes Council. This means that their homes and gardens have been inspected carefully and any safety concerns put to right before guest dogs are welcomed. Hosts are also DBS checked for your peace of mind, along with having training in Canine 1st Aid.

We only welcome one guest dog at a time which means that your pooch will receive our undivided attention during their holiday. And if that’s not enough reason to book your dogs holiday with Jog My Dog then have a read through our top 7 benefits of Home Boarding below …
