The inspiration for Pawfect Holidogs came from personal experience, having used traditional kennel facilities for our beloved family dogs over the years and seeing how they did not cope within the environment they provide. By chance when out walking one day we came across a wonderful woman called Lorraine who offered something a little different which was dog home boarding. Our dogs thrived in the
homely environment Lorraine was providing; as they were being treated just as they would if they were in their own home. We as a family were finally able to go away and leave our dogs without any worries as to how they were in our absence. Long gone was the guilt as we left the pooches at the kennel who were giving us the saddest faces they could possibly pull! Pawfect Holidogs Arlene grew up with dogs, and has cared for many friends and family’s dogs over the years. Seeing how content dogs can be in a home environment when with her instead of being in a kennel was extremely rewarding and so she decided, after many happy years with Lorraine who retired to go live her best life, that she would like to provide this service herself. Leaving your four-legged bestie with anyone is a little like leaving the baby with the babysitter so being able to drop your pooch off on his/her own holiday while you go yours is the next best thing. What dog wouldn’t want to make lots of new friends at the park, and receive an abundance of love, attention and hugs from there new temporary family! As a family we have 2 dogs of our own, Luna who is a 4 year old Springer Spaniel and Oliver, a 2 year old Westie, but let's not forget about the boss Sol, the resident cat! The human family is Mum (aka Arlene) and her two kids who seem to have inherited Mums love for all things cute and fluffy. All potential boarders are asked to come along to our home for a “sniffing out” meeting, this ensures both the resident pets and boarders are happy to be friends 😊
We have the perfect semi-rural location in West Lothian with lots and lots of fields, woods, and country parks to explore. We have a fully enclosed garden where your dog can just chill out in between play time and walks. We are licenced with our local authority and fully insured allowing us to offer the best dog boarding service we can. Whilst boarding, your pooch will send up-dates of all the fun he/she is having via the Pawfect Holidog page and/or whatsapp, but not too many or you may be jealous of all the fun and attention!
