Frequently asked questions
What are the benefits of dog home boarding?
Dogs receive 24/7 care in a home environment, maintaining their routine and special requirements. Owners enjoy peace of mind knowing their pet is with a loving family, and hosts undergo strict vetting with secure gardens.
How do I know my dog will be happy?
Hosts follow your dog's familiar routine closely, including walks in local areas. Dogs have their own food, toys, and bedding from home, and hosts dedicate time to them rather than leaving them alone like in kennels.
What happens on the first day of the holiday?
Barking Mad provides door-to-door service, collecting your dog and dropping them with their host family. The hosts greet their new guest, ensure they're settled, then begin the holiday together.
How does the dog home boarding service work?
A registration meeting is set up to understand your dog's routine and needs. After meeting your dog, they have a trial stay with a host family. For holidays over 7 days, a sleepover is arranged first to ensure everyone is happy.
