PetStay Norfolk, your local home dog boarding provider.

Hello my name is Sophia and I am very excited about welcoming you to PetStay Norfolk. We offer five-star pet sitting, giving your dog a home-from-home stay and providing you with peace of mind while you’re away.

Ever since watching James Herriot on the tv and reading all his books, I have wanted to be a vet. After graduating as a veterinary surgeon and working as a vet for a few years I started a family with my husband and found I couldn’t really combine being a vet with family life.

I started teaching Animal Management at the local college and achieved my teaching degree after 2 years. This was a great combination, I still had a job where I could take my dog to work but when the children were off school, I was there for them as well. After teaching for about 7 years, it was time for a change. I was looking for a job where I could combine my love for dogs with my organisational skills and when I saw that PetStay Norfolk was available (in 2017), I jumped at the chance to take it on and I haven’t looked back!

Why Choose PetStay?

At PetStay, we understand that leaving your beloved dog while you’re on holiday is a big decision. That’s why we offer a trusted, home-based alternative to kennels, ensuring your dog enjoys a comfortable stay in a loving environment. With one-on-one care and no mixing of dogs from different households, we provide a stress-free experience tailored to your dog’s needs.

Our Carers

All our carers love dogs and are experienced dog owners who provide the best care for your pet while you’re away. Each carer is personally interviewed by PetStay to ensure they offer a safe, loving, and comfortable home environment for your dog. We are fully licensed, and our carers are covered by our public liability insurance for your peace of mind.

Some of our carers may have a dog of their own. If your pooch is happy to stay with another friendly dog, we’ll arrange a meet-up so they can get acquainted and see if they’re a good match.

Prices above are per day, or part thereof, except Bank Holidays. For more information regarding those rates, please contact us.

PetStay Arrangement Fee & Carer’s Allowance

Our daily rate is made up of two separate payments: the Arrangement Fee and the Carer’s Allowance. Together, these payments cover the full cost of your dog’s stay, ensuring they receive loving care in a safe and happy home.

Prices listed are per day (or part thereof), except for Bank Holidays, when the Carer’s Allowance is doubled — because we believe our wonderful carers deserve extra for their dedication during these special times!

Arrangement Fee

The Arrangement Fee secures your dog’s booking and is due within five days of meeting your chosen carer. For repeat bookings, this fee must be paid within five days of your requested dates being confirmed by PetStay.

This fee is non-refundable and non-transferable, as it covers the service provided by your local PetStay branch in carefully matching your dog with a suitable carer. It also contributes to essential operational costs, including:

Carer’s Allowance

The Carer’s Allowance is a separate payment, made directly to your chosen carer when you drop your dog off for their holiday. On Bank Holidays, this allowance is doubled, reflecting the extra commitment and care our carers provide during these times.

Together, the Arrangement Fee and the Carer’s Allowance make up the full daily rate for your dog’s stay.

You must have a secure garden and agree to abide by PetStay guidelines. You are allowed to have a dog of your own as long as your dog gets on with other dogs.

If you meet all the requirements listed above, we will come and visit you at your home.

Rosie

May 2026

Amazing service from Sophia once again when we contacted her with our recent booking. Our dog Rosie absolutely loves her stays with Sophia and Badger and we can enjoy our holidays guilt free knowing what a great time she is having! The only guilt is when we pick her up as she doesn’t want to leave!

Georgie

Derek

May 2026

We have used PetStay for a few years now and our dog Derek stays with the lovely Hilda! She’s is a lovely person and love our dog like he’s her own, sometimes she says she’s going to keep him! We can go on holiday knowing that Derek is looked after and his routine is followed and we don’t even worry about him. He had a lovely time and is looked after and spoilt 🙂 couldn’t relax or enjoy time away without Hilda and PetStay! Would 100% recommend xx

Lisa

Blue

May 2026

This was our first time using PetStay, and Blue, our French Bulldog, had a wonderful stay with Mary, who took great care of her. We received regular updates throughout Blue’s stay, which was very reassuring, and when we picked her up, it was clear she had been happy and well looked after. It was lovely to see how comfortable and content she was. Thank you so much, Mary, for taking such great care of Blue. We wouldn’t hesitate to use PetStay again in the future and would highly recommend the service

Emily

Tommy

May 2026

This was Tommy’s first stay for couple of nights and he loved it! Stephen and Julia were great and were excellent carers. Like every dog, Tommy has his habits, Stephen and Julia were very accommodating, you can see that they both thoroughly enjoy looking after dogs which is very reassuring.

Barry

Izzie

May 2026

Our dog seemed to settle very quickly, given it was a first stay with Jenny. We felt confident that she was being well cared for, whilst we were away. Jenny sent photos almost daily, and we could see Izzie growing in confidence as the days went by.

Rosie

Teddy & Buddy

May 2026

Teddy & Buddy our Cockapoo’s have been to stay with Alison and Frank for the 4th time and always come home wanting to know when they will be going back again. They truly live their best lives when on their holidays with Alison and Frank and adore their outings and visits!

Kimberley

Winston

April 2026

Our working cocker spaniel had a 1 night stay with home boarder Claire to test if he was ok for a longer stay later in the year. Every aspect of this was great – the initial contact with the Norfolk rep Sophia, the booking and payment process and most importantly the home boarder herself and how much she treated our boy as her own! Claire and her family welcomed him and were lovely providing regular updates via Whatsapp. He came home a very tired, happy dog and we are not only reassured about his stay later this year but we’ve now also booked him an additional stay next month as we are so happy he was happy! Absolutely 5* experience.

Lynsey

Freddie

April 2026

Jen and Don are wonderful carers.  They make my big nervous Labrador Freddie so welcome and comfortable and he knows he is in a good place as he’s so excited when we arrive and knock on the door – sitting but wagging his tail so much that his bottom is constantly on the move! Knowing that Fred is staying with such lovely people gives me the reassurance that he is happy and I can relax.  

Alison

Dora

April 2026

Dora our Goldendoodle had a lovely time with Julie we could relax for a few days knowing that Dora was being so well cared for. Julie sent photos of Dora to us it was lovely to see her looking so happy and content. Dora has stayed a few times with Julie and other PetStay carers and I couldn’t fault any of the lovely carers.

Nicky

Monty

April 2026

I was looking for a pet boarding service that was registered and insured – and I came across PetStay. I was very impressed by the conversation I had with Sophia, she asked all the right questions and was highly motivated to match my dog, Monty, with the right carer. I was not providing lots of notice, for various reasons, so I found her positive approach very helpful. We were matched with Tracey (and Mark) who were fantastic carers. They were clearly both experienced dog owners/carers and absolutely nothing phased them. Their house and garden set up suited Monty very well but was clearly flexible for different dogs. Tracey was careful and checked in a couple of times about things which I found very reassuring. I will be very happy for Monty to stay with Tracey and Mark again and to use the PetStay service.

Sally

Nancy

April 2026

We are always very happy to leave our Frenchie Nancy with Julie. We never worry or fret because we know Nancy will be having a wonderful time with her. Julie is calm, breed knowledgeable, patient and Nancy is beyond excited to see her ! Whilst away Julie always keeps us updated with photos and messages. 5 stars is the highest this will allow , we’d give her a whole lot more otherwise ! x

Heather

Jazzy

April 2026

Jazzy just had another holiday with Andrea and Estelle, she loves it they both get on well together sharing the same settee pushing poor Andrea off I think.  Lots pictures of Jazzy which was very reassuring to see thank you again PetStay, Sophia for matching us up with Andrea see you again end of the year.

Jacqueline

Rosie

Darcy

March 2026

We are so very pleased that Darcy had a lovely stay with Julia and Stephen in Fakenham. What helped was that we were sent some lovely pictures of walks, days out to the seaside, playing ball and relaxing. Thank you so much to you both for taking care of our little girl!

Sonia

Jazzy

March 2026

Jazzy has just come back from her third stay at the lovely Andrea’s and her doggy Estelle and Jazz loved it as usual, got photos every day, both dogs got on well probably because both Romanian Rescues.  Thank you again Andrea see you soon.

Jacqueline

Lady

February 2026

We were so worried about leaving our beautiful nearly three year old cockapoo called lady. But we didn’t need to worry at all Jenny was the most amazing person we could have wished for to look after our pride and joy. We will definitely choose Jenny to look after her again in the future.

Mark

Ruby

February 2026

We use PetStay Norfolk a lot and find the dog sitters to be excellent. Most recently we had Gerri & Mike look after our dog Ruby; they do a great job and we can relax on holiday knowing she is happy and being well looked after. They send regular photos and updates

Mark

Verity

Hello, I’m Verity and as seen from the photo- I love being near the sea. Luckily I live in a coastal village with plenty of local walks.

Dogs have always been part of the family, whilst I was growing up with my family. Being with PetStay gives me the best of both worlds- being able to travel without worrying about pets and time to devote to the enjoyment of being with dogs which is why I joined them.

I have been with PetStay for three years now and thoroughly enjoy looking after dogs, all with their own unique personality and traits.

I get to meat lots of different breeds and still haven’t got a favourite! I love getting to know the dogs and their lovely families.

Verity still tutors part time so is mainly available in school holidays or for short stays during term time week days

Annette, Ian & Cooper

We are Annette, Ian and the lovely Copper. We have both been brought up with various types of dogs. We got Copper from a rescue when he was 12 months old and he is now 16 years old. We became carers because we just love having dogs in our lives and live 3 mins from the beach. Copper happily shares his home with dogs, although he isn’t playful anymore.

Annette and Ian live in a lovely, detached bungalow in Gorleston with a nice size garden. Ian works from home and boarding dogs can often be found in his office

Lindsey & Mike

Meet Lindsey and Mike! The couple have had a 5 year break because they had a grandchild and understandably, their priorities changed.

Now that their grandson has started primary school, they are back!

These brilliant carers were very popular before they stopped. They live in a lovely bungalow in Caister on Sea with a small garden close to the beach.

Both are retired and very active people who love dogs of all sizes.

 

Colin

Hi, I am Colin, I have recently retired and no longer have a dog of my own.

The lovely lab in the picture is my previous dog Milo. I have had 4 Black Labs, a Cocker Spaniel and a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel.

I have a love for German Shepherds although I have never owned one myself.

I have joined PetStay as I love dogs, miss having a dog around the house and being a carer keeps me active, without the commitment of having a dog of my own.

Claire

Hi I’m Claire. I live in a beautiful rural village in South Norfolk with my family and my beloved spaniel Max. We go for lots of walks in the countryside and love being out in nature enjoying the fresh air and wildlife. I love all animals but I especially love dogs so I thought why not become a dog carer for PetStay Norfolk so I can meet dogs of all shapes and sizes and get paid for it! I have some regular boarders now and also enjoy taking on new boarders and getting to know new faces and doggy personalities – they love life and enjoy being out and about. Dogs are so special. I love spending time with them and they make me and my family really happy.

Adrian

Hi, I’m Adrian. My two grown up children wanted me to get another dog after my last one “Toots” died at the age of 15. Being the wrong side of 60, I was not prepared to commit the next 15 years to caring for another dog full time. PetStay provided me with the best of both worlds. I compare it to being a grandparent. I can give massive amounts of love, care, and consideration to the dogs in my care, and then hand them back to their owners. I get to meet a huge variety of breeds and characters, and they all make me laugh out loud.

Clive and Allison

We’re Clive and Allison. We have always had dogs and treat them like one of the family. When our dog Rodney passed away a few years ago we were understandably devastated. The house wasn’t the same. So we decided to get Missy & Milo, two lovely Shitzu Bichon cross dogs which we raised from puppies. Unfortunately, late last year Milo passed away after a short illness. Missy has looked so unhappy since he has gone. Clive was due to retire and had been thinking of something he could do to fill his time. We knew we both loved dogs and walking, and it would be company for Missy to have another pooch to play with, so we made the decision to become PetStay carers. We have used PetStay ourselves, on a number of occasions, and were really happy with the service they provided. Missy and Milo were puppies when we first used PetStay, as the thought of putting them in kennels wasn’t on the agenda. So far we have had Betty stay with us, who was an absolute joy to look after. And we hope to have more pooches to care for in a nice calm environment.

Shelagh and Ian

Hello from Shelagh and Ian.

We live in Gorleston, both of us are retired and have recently joined PetStay.

We retired to Gorleston from Cambridge 6 years ago and are keen to find hobbies to keep us occupied. We have a very friendly Westie called Tillie Mai who loves meeting everyone human or canine.

We have always owned dogs and they have always brought great joy to our lives. We came across PetStay when we looking for a short stay for Tillie as she couldn’t come on a trip with us. We did not want to put her into kennels as we both felt that she would be much happier in a friendly warm homely environment.

It also led us to believe that we could help other owners and their dogs by supplying them with that attractive environment and at the same time giving us a satisfying hobby along with the chance of meeting some canine characters.

We live in a detached bungalow with an enclosed garden in a quiet avenue and are 5 minutes walk from Gorleston beach and front.  (joined PetStay Norfolk early in 2024)

Alison and Frank

We are Alison and Frank.

We have been Petstay carers since June 2022 and love it!

These are Dolly and Coco.

Dolly was our very first boarder and after she lost her older brother, she was joined by a younger sister Coco! They are regulars and treat our home as their own!

We have many regular boarders. We love having different breeds and getting to know their individual personalities. We try and give our visitors a holiday of their own. We have lots of lovely walks near by and my mum, who is in her 90s, loves to have visits and cuddles too!

Linda and Emmanuel

These are the lovely Linda and Emmanuel who live in a detached house with a large secure garden.

Emmanuel is a recently retired Officer of the Merchant Navy and his wife Linda works from home.

They have 2 lovely dogs, George the Whippet (5yrs) and Hope the Greyhound (6yrs)

Emmanuel and Linda joined PetStay in 2022 having placed one of their dogs with us after which they felt that they too could offer a safe, loving and friendly environment for dogs when their owners where travelling or away.

They enjoy walking the dogs in the countryside and playing with them in their large garden throughout the day.

Ralph and Valerie

Pictured here is Ralph with one of their regular boarders.

Ralph and Valerie joined PetStay Norfolk in 2021. They live in a terraced home in Gorleston with their 2 cats and a small mainly paved back garden.

Ralph and Valerie don’t often get a chance to look after new boarders now as they are fully booked with their regular boarders.

We love looking after a variety of dogs of various shapes and sizes , from young and lively cockapoos to older and more sedate dogs of mixed breeds. They all have their different personalities and needs. The younger ones enjoying energetic walks on the beach and the older ones maybe just a slow walk around the park, with a sit-down by a bench halfway around. Not only are the dogs getting some exercise but so are we.’  

Carolyn and Martin

Let us introduce you to the lovely Carolyn and Martin, pictured with one of their boarders. Carolyn and Martin live in a 3 story home with a secure back garden in a lovely market town in South Norfolk with lovely walking areas nearby. They are particularly good with the older calmer dogs or with greyhounds. Carolyn and Martin have been with PetStay Norfolk since April 2019.  This is what they say about being part of PetStay Norfolk: I used to work as a childminder and Martin has retired from teaching.

We have both had dogs in the past and other pets also. We felt we would love the opportunity to care for dogs and enjoy meeting different breeds and their owners.

We both enjoy making the most of the lovely walks on our doorstep.

We want to make our home a relaxing, happy place for each dog to stay in.

Julie

Julie, pictured here with one of her boarders. Julie lives with her own two lovely French bulldogs in a lovely village with great walking opportunities. Julie lives in a bungalow with a nice garden. She has been with PetStay Norfolk since March 2019 and is still happy to have both new and repeat boarders. This is what Julie says: I have lived with rescue dogs all my life: a random assortment of breeds including GSD, Border Collie, Cocker, Irish Setters, lurcher, English Sheepdog, Dobermann.

I have also walked for the Cinnamon Trust & fostered difficult dogs for national rescues.

The issues I’ve encountered (inc aggression, separation anxiety, resource guarding, BOAS, puppy farming) inspired me to study further, and gain a level 4 qualification in Advanced Canine Behaviour.

While I was thinking about taking a break from fostering, a Petstay ad popped up on my Facebook feed, and I couldn’t resist.

All my boarders have been adorable, and they’ve really enjoyed staying with my own 2 dogs, and my grey parrot, who is careless of data laws, has been calling the boarders by name.

Jessamy

Jessamy lives in a lovely home in a small town in South Norfolk with vast country walks nearby. Jessamy has been with PetStay Norfolk since December 2018 and mainly only takes her regular ‘dogs’ now but is always happy to help in an emergency.

Jenefer and Don

Jenefer with boarder on walk

The lovely Jenefer and Don, Jen pictured here with a doggie guest. Jenefer and Don live in a small bungalow with a small, paved back garden, in a North Norfolk town with lots of lovely walking opportunities. They have proven to be particularly good with nervous little dogs ensuring to put them at ease in no time. Jenefer and Don have been with PetStay since April 2019. This is what they say about being PetStay Norfolk carers: We have lived in West Norfolk for over thirty years and have owned various breeds of dogs, including an Old English Sheep Dog, a Cross Doberman Rottweiler, and a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. We live in a detached bungalow within a small village with plenty of walks nearby, including The Peter Scott Walk. Since Jenefer’s retirement and me being semi-retired we have joined PetStay and have had the pleasure of looking after and making friends with, some lovely dogs who have been great characters with their own personalities. We are very mindful that a dog is part of a family, and they may worry about them while on their holidays, therefore we are happy to update the family and send photos, if wanted while the dog is in our care.

Gerri and Mike

Let us introduce you to the lovely Gerri and Mike. Gerri and Mike live in a lovely bungalow with a very large fully enclosed garden in a rural village in North Norfolk. They are our longest standing carers having been with PetStay Norfolk since before Sophia owned the branch (March 2017). They don’t often get a chance to take on new boarders now as they are very busy with their regular boarders. This is what they say about being a carer for PetStay Norfolk:  ‘We are carers for PetStay Norfolk and love doing it, making a fuss of the dogs and stroking them is very therapeutic.

Dogs just make us smile more & feel happy, the nice people we meet who bring their dogs to us, are lovely. Also it’s such good exercise, dog walking. It’s amazing how many people we have met on our walks. Now we have retired it’s such a great thing to do.’.

Here are some of our recent home dog boarding guests that have used PetStay Norfolk, your local home dog boarding service for the Norfolk area.

Who has access to your information?

We do not sell or rent your personal data or information to any third party or share your information with third parties for their marketing purposes.

We will disclose your data or information if required by law, for example by a court order or for the prevention of fraud or other crime.

However, we disclose only the personal information necessary to deliver that service and have a contract in place that requires them to keep your information secure and not to use it for their own marketing purposes.
