“Our little man had his first ever overnight stay this weekend and he absolutely loved it”

Our little man had his first ever overnight stay this weekend and he absolutely loved it, he has came back shattered and hasn’t moved out of his bed since. From the moment of our first meet & greet with David & Amy, we were at total ease about letting him stay.

“He settled straight in and didn’t even look for us.”

This is the first time Albie has had to stay away from a family member in 13 years. He settled straight in and didn’t even look for us. Friendly, professional and made our holidays memorable knowing Albie was in safe hands.

“he’s off and can’t wait for his stay to begin.”

Angus loves to stay with David and Amy. He doesn't look back at me when he gets out of the car — he's off and can't wait for his stay to begin. David keeps me up to date on a daily basis which is great but I already know he'll be having a great time. Very professional service, so glad I found them.

“She is nervous around other dogs and it was lovely to hear this was acknowledged and catered for.”

Our girl Hilda was so well looked after. She is nervous around other dogs and it was lovely to hear this was acknowledged and catered for. She was happy to see me when I collected her, but also happy to say goodbye with a cuddle and kiss! Thank you for taking such good care of her.

“we got picture updates and updates on the app which was great.”

Would recommend this place to anyone looking for dog boarding. Dave put our mind at ease on our meet & greet. Very knowledgeable and passionate about his business and dogs. Reggie had an amazing time, we got picture updates and updates on the app which was great. Reggie looks forward to his next stay.

“My dog came home calmer and better-behaved.”

I recently had the pleasure of leaving my two dogs in the care of Hetton-le-Hill Farm and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. Not only did they take excellent care of both my dogs, but they also worked wonders with my young dog’s behavior. My dog came home calmer and better-behaved. It was clear that David genuinely cares for the dogs and went above and beyond to make them feel at home. I highly recommend their services to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate, and skilled dog boarder!
