Welcome to Five Star Professional Care for Pampered Paws

At Poodles & Doodles Homestays we provide a bespoke boarding and day care experience that balances the comforts of home with the highest standards of professional care.

We understand that leaving a pet can be a significant decision but our mission is to ensure your dog feels secure, engaged, and truly at home while you are away from them.

We limit our Homestays guests to a maximum of four at any time so they receive our full attention and care. Rest assured that your dog is never left on its own during its stay with us. 

While Poodles and Doodles are our specialty, we are always delighted to welcome a variety of other breeds to stay with us. 

Meet & Greets and Trial Nights

To ensure we provide the best care possible, we begin with a meet and greet for every owner and new guest. This helps us get to know you and your dog so we are better able to match them for all the services we offer.

For home stays, we arrange a trial night prior to boarding to make sure your dog feels comfortable and happy while spending nights away from you and it’s home.

From Our Clients

  • Victoria & Lily

    "Our cockapoo stayed for 3 weeks over the summer and I couldn’t recommend Poodles and Doodles more highly. Joanne is just lovely - Lily was happy, well cared for and had a lovely time going on walks and playing with the other dogs. Joanne sent daily photos (which my children particularly loved) and a video of Lily on her birthday. We could relax and enjoy our holiday knowing that Lily was safe, happy and having a great time. We would 100% recommend."

  • Vojtech & Tuna

    “Our puppy Tuna's first boarding experience was paw-some! 🌟 We started with a trial night and Tuna’s excitement on returning for the holiday stay spoke volumes! Eagerly anticipating more adventures, she didn’t shed a single goodbye tear! 😊 Every photo update showed Tuna loving her time with her two new besties - Joanne and a fellow furry boarder! 🐕‍ We’re over the moon with Joanne’s service. Tuna can’t wait for her next stay; she’s already missing her!”

  • Findik & Damla

    "I enthusiastically recommend Joanne at Poodles & Doodles Home Stays! The secure paddock offers secure and lead-free playtime, the small group setting (of four dogs) ensures a personalized environment. Plus, Jo even organized a delightful birthday celebration for our furry friend. 🎉 Trustworthy and caring, she goes above and beyond to ensure for our dog’s happiness and well-being."

  • Elisha & Ziggy

    "I’d definitely recommend Joanne 🐾 She looked after Ziggy for 2 weeks & he had a great time. I received regular photos and updates and I could see how quickly he settled in and made himself at home! He loved running around in the paddock and made some new furry friends. Joanne really looked after him like he was one of her own so I was reassured he was in good hands 😊"

  • Mike & Lola

    “I highly recommend Poodles & Doodles. After being let down by my sitter just two weeks before my holiday, Joanne went above and beyond to accommodate me. Everything from the meet and greet to handover was seamless. She took great care of my dog Lola, walking her away from traffic, helping her socialise, and providing regular photo and video updates that really reassured us. Lola clearly loved her time there. I’ll definitely be using Joanne’s services again and can’t praise her highly enough.”

  • Karen

    Poodles and Doodles are simply the best! After decades of trying to find kennels and home stays, none compare to Jo’s care and brilliance. She welcomed my two large golden doodles with ease, including one with epilepsy who needs medication at exact times - something a local kennel wouldn’t accommodate. Jo’s love, knowledge, and experience are clear, and her daily photos of them playing in the secure paddock and enjoying a warm home environment gave me total peace of mind. She truly prioritises every dog’s wellbeing and happiness.
