Frequently asked questions
How does the dog boarding service ensure our dog is settled and happy?
We learn everything about your dog before matching them with a suitable holiday host. We create a pet schedule document as a blueprint of your dog and share it with you for verification. We recommend a short two-night trial stay so your dog becomes familiar with their holiday home. We keep you informed during stays.
Do I get to meet the holiday host?
Barking Mad Chelmsford is a fully licensed dog boarding service. Every dog sitting host goes through a rigorous vetting process. We have a relationship with you, your dog, and your dog's host. Many hosts have been part of the community for years and pride themselves in delivering fantastic doggy holidays.
