Oaklands Home Boarding For Dogs

Home boarding and day care for dogs, in a caring & loving family environment. 5☆ Licence issued by South Norfolk Council.

My name is Liz Knights, and I started my home boarding business in 2011. Having had dogs all my life, it was a natural route to take as I knew I could put my years of experience to good use. We pride ourselves at Oaklands in offering a safe, happy and loving environment to all our doggy guests, who become part of the family for their stay. Our aim is to provide a stress free holiday for both you and your dog and look forward to seeing you come back to us again. Oaklands Homeboarding for Dogs is fully licensed by South Norfolk District Council, licence number AB73 and I have recently been awarded a 5 star rating. Also I am CRB checked and have full insurance. Oaklands is set in a large, safe and secured half acre garden surrounded by beautiful meadows, with miles of lovely country walks. Our doggy visitors, have full access to our home and garden during their stay with us. We can maintain any routine that you have in place at home, including feeding times, sleeping arrangements and exercise. In order for your dog to feel at home with us, we recommend you provide bedding, food and toys. If your dog also requires a crate, we can accomodate that too. We do ask that all our guests are up to date with their vaccinations, this includes kennel cough. Please note that we do not take uncastrated males. All dogs must also be up to date with flea and worming treatments.

🐾There has definately been a Autumnal feel in the air today, and i have to say it's been quite nice. We've loved our outside play and our field walks as always.

We are now preparing for my licence renewal, 3 years have flown by. Already fences have been replaced, and a new area in the garden is being created by my husband Christopher. 🐾

There will be a small change coming as my licence at the moment is for 9 dogs but after giving it alot of thought I have decided to take less numbers. The winters have changed so much, with long months of continuous wet weather. Last year I have to say was such hard work managing wet muddy dogs . And then our summers which are now so much hotter. Keeping 9 dogs cool and hydrated on some days when it reached such high temperatures wasn't easy. So this is why i have decided to take less and make things that bit easier in the future.

Here are some pictures of some of our lovely visitors over the last couple of days!🐾

🐾Back to work for me after a lovely week in Cornwall with family. It was so nice to see our visitors this week so pleased to be back catching up with friends. Lovely girl Lottie has arrived for her holidays and Mae was extremely happy to see her. Our daycares from the last couple of days have been the Gent Domino, Miss Pickles, Pretty Phoebe, Mr Bear and Miss Pips joined us yesterday for a play. I still have a little availability for October if you're thinking of a Autumnal break. 🐾
On a different note... I don't very often have a moan but this is something that's happened a few times recently. Please if you bring your dog on a certain day for daycare and decide for whatever reason you're unable to come can you please just let me know! It is unreasonable to decide to not bring your dog and not just let me know with a simple text or call. I don't ask for payment in advance for daycare like most boarders do when you book your day. But what i would ask for please is to be considerate, so I'm not waiting around for someone to arrive who clearly isn't coming. It also gives me an opportunity to offer that space to someone that needs it. Thank you xx

🐾I can't believe we're at the end of another week and almost into September!! We've had a busy week and with school holidays now finishing the Autumn months are booking up quickly. It's been so refreshing having the cooler weather and some rain. At last the grass is starting to recover and the dogs have loved having the old routines back in play. Here are some pictures of our lovely visitors from the last couple of days🐾 Have a lovely Bank Holiday Weekend xx

🐾We've been one big happy bunch at Oaklands this week. No hot days hallelujah!!! The dogs have been so pleased to get back to the routine they love. Ball games, cool walks, lots of chasing each other and too many treat hunts!!😂😂. We've even had some showers thrown in, which dare I say it we could certainly do with as the garden is in one sorry state! We've had several boarders in this week including Lovely Lottie, The Gent Domino, Lord Harley and Little Missy. Our daycares have been Mr Blue, Mr Bear, Boss girl Poppy, Saucey Cecil, Pretty Phoebe, Sir Roddy, Ted Little, Miss Pickles and our girl Scrappy Doo Mae. Here are lovely pics of our guests this week🐾

🐾Thank absolute goodness this is the last day of this extreme heat. Unfortunately I've not got many photos to share this week as it was a week of mainly indoor play and keeping the dogs cool and hydrated. Even being in the shade was way to hot for them and myself. Unfortunately due to water restrictions I'm unable to keep refilling the paddling pool, and quite right too as rules are rules!!!

We welcomed a new little lady today for her trial. Her name is Dora, and she settled in really well. A very friendly, sociable little girl who is extremely cuddly!🥰 Both Mae and Miss Pickle made her most welcome first thing this morning. Sadly again we've not been able to do our usual walks and fun in the garden. But she was quite happy keeping in the cool with us and enjoyed some indoor games. Hopefully Dora will be joining us for her holidays and meeting more of the Oaklands doggies in the future!🐾

🐾 We've had a busy week here at Oaklands with our holiday boarders.We have also had some last minute boarder bookings, along with some of our daycare doggies. The high temperatures have changed our dynamics slightly over the last few weeks and I think myself and the lovely dogs have had enough of the extreme heat. But with yet another heatwave forcast for next week, the priority will be keeping the dogs cool and hydrated. Our lovely borders this week have been Archie, Coco, Ted Little, Buzz and Belle. Roddy, Poppy, Domino, Phoebe and Miss Pickle visited us for daycare.🐾

🐾We also welcomed Cooper for his trial today! What a lovely, friendly little character he is. The dogs all welcomed him this morning. He enjoyed the first walk of the day with Miss Pickles. He joined in with play and even paid Ted Little a visit and introduced himself. Cooper hopefully will be joining us for his holidays!!

🐾 We have welcomed the first of our upcoming trials today! This is little Sybil and what a lovely confident little girl she is. She has run rings round sweet Sadie today, but Sadie being the lovely natured girl she is was happy to oblige!! All the doggies have made her most welcome!. I think we shall have some worn out pooches tonight especially you young Sybil!!😂😂! We hope you latitude mummies who have dropped your girlies off have a lovely weekend!!🐾

🐾 Another hot week coming to an end, with hopefully some cooler weather on the horizon. We've remained sensible in terms of exercise and play in this heat, but the dogs loved their last hour today letting off some steam as it became cooler. The next few weeks are going to be quite full with holiday dogs arriving for their summer breaks. We may have some lovely new arrivals showing their faces in the coming weeks. Several trials are now booked in which I'm really looking forward to. Most of these have been through recommendations, so I thank you all so much for those that have taken the time to do that it's so appreciated. Here are some pics of some of our lovely guests this week🐾
