Finding a dog boarder in Aylesbury

Dog boarding in Aylesbury can mean a town home in Bedgrove or Fairford Leys or a village house near Wendover with the Chilterns on the doorstep. Decide which suits your dog and say so in your post. Visit first, look at the garden and ask about other animals. Home boarders here are licensed by Buckinghamshire Council; sitters who hold a licence can display the badge once the Nearpaw team has checked it.

About Aylesbury

Aylesbury is flat, compact and surrounded by countryside. In town, Vale Park, Bedgrove Park and the paths around the Watermead lakes cover everyday walks, and the towpath of the Aylesbury Arm of the Grand Union Canal runs east from the basin. The Chilterns start a few miles south: Wendover Woods and Coombe Hill are where local owners go for a long weekend walk, and a sitter with a car can take a dog there too if you agree it in advance.

Aylesbury has grown quickly, with newer estates at Fairford Leys, Berryfields, Watermead and Kingsbrook around an older centre, and villages such as Stoke Mandeville, Bierton and Weston Turville on its edge. Many residents commute to London Marylebone or to Oxford and Milton Keynes, so pets are often alone through a long working day. Because the town is compact, a sitter from one side can usually reach the other quickly, which widens your choice.

What dog boarding covers

Dog boarding on Nearpaw means your dog stays at the sitter’s home while you are away: a house, a sofa and a garden rather than a kennel block. It suits sociable dogs who are used to new places. In England, anyone who boards dogs in their home as a business needs a licence from their local council. Sitters who hold one can show a licence badge once the Nearpaw team has checked it, so look for it on the bid or ask about it.
