Dog Boarding & Pet Care in Shipley
Dog Boarding & Pet Care in Shipley
Shipley dog owners tend to have one of two problems: a working day that leaves the dog home alone, or a trip away that nobody local can cover. We solve both from our home in Baildon, roughly ten minutes away over the river.
Because we are so close, Shipley dogs settle quickly. Drop-off on the way to Shipley station or the Bradford Road is straightforward, and collection in the evening means your dog has had a full day of company, walks and rest rather than eight hours waiting by the door.
We are based in Baildon, a ten-minute drive from Shipley.

What Shipley Pet Owners Say
Real reviews from real pet parents who trust us with their furry family members.
“Cannot recommend Faye enough - she's great! She's really good with my two cocker spaniels and they're always very happy when Faye stops by to walk them.”
“Bluebelle had her first ever stay away from home , she stayed for a week. Faye was so reassuring with regular updates and pics that this enabled us to relax and not worry . Bluebelle enjoyed it so much Iām not sure she wanted to leave. It was nice to see she got to interact with other dogs whilst there which she really enjoyed. We have booked again for next year with confidence and Iām sure Bluebelle will be happy to return.”
“Faye took great care of Oscar and Alice and was clearly very experienced and confident with larger breeds. We received regular updates and felt reassured that they were safe, happy and well looked after while we were away. Would definitely recommend! š¾”
