Hi, I’m Shobha, living in Basingstoke for many years now. I and my husband an absolute animal lover, love pets and like to spend time with them.
I understand the importance of trusting someone to care for your"furry baby". I have grown up with animals my entire life, I adored animals of all kinds, and after many years of owning and also spent a lot of time pet-sitting for family and friends over the years.
We are awarded a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ license by the local council. I am level 3 ( QFQUAL) canine care, behavior, and welfare, and Pet first aid certified. I am insured, and have a DBS check, so you will be able to relax knowing that your pet is receiving excellent care.
Currently, we do not have any pets of our own and this is why we would love to meet yours and hang out. Your fur baby will feel right at home with us and get loads of love and attention.
I work from home, so dogs would have all-day company, our usual routine is 2 walks (morning and evening) up to 30 minutes each and a few short breaks in between. our living space downstairs is quite big so they can snooze wherever they want. There is also a secured patio backyard to which dogs can have access. (Weather permitting of course;))
The beautiful woods and other parks are only a few minute's walk away and are ideal for long walks and socializing. Whether away for a short or longer period, you can rest well assured that your loved one is in good hands and happy receiving the best care. Our home boarding is suitable for dogs who are friendly, well-socialized, house-trained, and enjoy living as part of a family.
Before starting any services I will book a meeting with you and your pet. To familiarise each other and your pet. This is a very important process before accepting any bookings, as it allows me to get to know you and your pet. Every pet is unique, I love learning about each pet’s character and preferences. This will only be required once if you have never booked with us before and also there will be an overnight trial stay for overnight boarding. No holiday is secure until the stages above have been completed.
Before providing any services I will go through all of the important paperwork with you.

Is my dog suitable for Doggy Boarding?
Home boarding is best for dogs who are
friendly, well-socialized, and enjoy living as part of a family. We board dogs that is:
· House trained
· Up to date with vaccinations (including kennel cough)
· Up to date with flea/ tick and worming treatment (using products recommended by the vet)
· Friendly and sociable with people and other dogs as I take 3/4dogs at a time.
· Dogs need to be 12 months and older
· We take all sizes and breeds
· We are happy to accept entire males, providing they are not aggressive toward other dogs
· We are happy to accept bookings for un-spayed dogs, but not when they are in season.
· We cannot accept pregnant dogs
· We do not accept dogs with separation anxiety, or dogs who are used to sharing their owner's bedrooms and are unable to sleep on their own.
· We do not accept incontinent dogs, dogs that chew furniture, or other household items.
I look forward to connecting!

Our previous dog boarder moved away and we needed to find someone new to look after our two year old Labrabor. I came across Shobha and from the first interaction she was great, we met for an initial meet which went well and then had a trial night, which Percy loved, came home so tired. We have now found a new dog boarded for Percy, highly recommend Shobha
Our black lab, Ludo, has stayed twice with Shobha and she looks after him very well. She obviously loves dogs and Ludo always has a great time with her with lots of love, playtime and walks!
