Home Dog Boarding in Bedford & Bedfordshire

Leaving your dog behind when you go away is never easy. They are a massive part of the family—loyal, entertaining, and full of unconditional love. You wouldn't trust just anyone to care for them, and the thought of a cold kennel block just doesn't feel right.

At Shelton Dogs, we provide a warm, licensed, and fully insured home dog boarding service based in Lower Shelton, Bedfordshire. Run by our close-knit family—Dominic, Carmen, Marcus, and Maddison—we treat every guest like a member of our own canine family. With over two decades of experience, we offer a cozy, safe, and stress-free alternative to traditional boarding kennels so you can enjoy your time away with complete peace of mind.

Why Choose Our Home Dog Boarding Experience?

We believe dogs thrive best in a familiar, comfortable home environment. Instead of concrete pens and bars, our home dog boarding guests enjoy the run of our welcoming house, plenty of human interaction, and the social company of our own friendly resident Labradors.

• A True Home-from-Home: Comfortable indoor relaxation spaces, cozy sleeping spots, and constant family supervision.
• Countryside Rambles: Our secure garden opens directly onto stunning open Bedfordshire countryside, where we take our guests for regular, stimulating morning and afternoon walks.
• Fully Secure Play Areas: A safely fenced garden allows for fresh air, outdoor play, and sniffing to their heart's content.
• Regular Photo Updates: We love keeping in touch! We send regular pictures and updates during their stay so you can see exactly how much fun they are having.
• 5-Star Licensed & Approved: Our home dog boarding setup is fully vetted and licensed by Central Bedfordshire Council, meeting the highest standards of safety, hygiene, and care.

Whether you have a tiny toy breed or a gentle giant, all well-behaved, fully vaccinated dogs are welcome here. We take the time to understand your dog’s specific routine, dietary needs, and personality traits to ensure they settle into our family home smoothly and return to you happy, relaxed, and content.
