I launched the Gloucestershire Branch of Wagging Tails in January 2016 and am very proud of the service we offer.

Wagging Tails was a complete change of life for me, having most recently worked as a teacher in London, living in a small flat. Moving to Cheltenham not only offered a new career but the opportunity to welcome dogs into our family again.

What initially drew me to Wagging Tails is that the welfare and genuine love of dogs is at its heart. I am proud to have built the Gloucestershire Branch over the years and continue to build upon this ethos. We offer dogs and owners stress free holidays and Dog Carers who had shaped holes in their hearts the opportunity for these holes to be filled.

All our Carers are carefully vetted, licensed and insured and welcome dogs into their home as if they are their own. We have a Beagle and I could not imagine leaving her in any other type of environment.

Over the years, we have fostered wonderful relationships with owners and their dogs. We have many families who we have been working with for years and their dogs bound in at the beginning of a new board! We have seen families enjoy holidays they never would have been able to in the past, when they did not feel comfortable leaving their dogs. We have also seen families grow and develop and new puppies arrive to join older doggie siblings.\

Wagging Tails has changed our lives for the better in many ways. I hope the assurance of a safe and loving ‘home from home’ family holiday for your dog will enhance your life too, giving you peace of mind to be able to leave your four-pawed family member within a loving home and enjoy your well-earned holiday or break.

Qualifications

I am trained in Canine First Aid and have successfully completed the Animal Aiders Dog First Aid Training Course.

I hold a Diploma from The Academy of Dog Training and Behaviour having undertaken and passed their 'Understanding What Makes Dogs Tick' course.

I am also fully insured with Third Party Liability Insurance from Pet Business Insurance.

About Our Carers

All our carers are experienced past dog owners who sadly no longer have dogs of their own or have one dog who enjoys the company of visiting dogs. Coming from various walks of life and experienced with different breeds of dogs they have all been vetted, interviewed and assessed to provide home dog boarding to owners in Cheltenham, Gloucester, Tewkesbury and the surrounding areas and I would happily board my dog with each of them. Where necessary our carers are licensed by their local Council to comply with the Animal Welfare Regulations 2018 and are fully insured through Wagging Tails Pet Business Insurance. I match each owner’s dogs with the most suitable carers and insist on a ‘sniffing out meeting’ taking place at the carers home before the board. I believe it is very important for owners to meet the chosen carer to gain peace of mind and feel confident their best friend will have a great dog holiday! I always aim to place dogs back with the same carer for subsequent holidays as the dogs and carers build a strong bond. Many owners have told me their dogs have dragged them to the carers door knowing exactly where they are and that it’s holiday time!

I am always on the lookout for new dog carers. If you love the idea of Wagging Tails, are a former or current dog owner and have the time to enjoy the company of a canine companion, please call me today.

Our Reputation

We are very proud to be recommended by many vets, dog trainers, groomers and owners (as can be seen on our Testimonials page).

Our calibre of carers and dedication to giving owners’ dogs a stress-free alternative to kennels makes Wagging Tails the ideal holiday home for all dogs, including rescue dogs, puppies and elderly dogs.

Our Aim

Our aim is to ensure owners can go away safe in the knowledge that their dogs are being loved and cared for, and for all dogs boarding with Wagging Tails carers to get a holiday of their own, full of love, exercise and those all-important cuddles!
