PetStay Staffordshire, your local home dog boarding provider.

Hello and welcome to PetStay Staffordshire, offering dog home boarding in the Staffordshire Moorlands, Stoke-on-Trent, Newcastle and Stafford areas. I’m Jane Prince and I live in the Staffordshire Moorlands with my fur-boy Barney and hubby Paul.

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.

What Makes Us Different?

Personalised, Home-from-Home Care – Your dog stays in a cozy, caring home, just like their own.
Solo Boarding Only – We never mix dogs from different families, ensuring a calm and relaxed stay.
Tailored Matching Process – We carefully select the perfect carer for your dog’s personality and routine.
Meet & Greet Before Booking – You and your dog get to visit the carer’s home beforehand to ensure a great fit.
Fully Insured & Licensed – Your peace of mind is our priority, with full insurance and licensing in place.
Ongoing Support – Our team is here to help, offering 24/7 support for both owners and carers.
With PetStay, you can enjoy your time away knowing your furry friend is safe, happy, and being cared for like family.

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.

2 dogs £40.00 a day

3 dogs £50.00 a day

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.

For more details on Bank Holiday rates or any other inquiries, please don’t hesitate to contact us.

Frequently Asked Questions about becoming a PetStay Carer

You must be a genuine dog lover, have experience of looking after dogs and you need to be home during the day so you have plenty of time to give to the dogs you are caring for. 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. We will check the security of the garden, explain PetStay procedures and show you the guidelines each carer needs to follow. If you are happy with everything and we feel you would make a suitable PetStay carer, we would follow up a reference and arrange public liability insurance for you.

Our service is on a one-to-one basis, so only dogs from the same household will stay with you. You are allowed to take up to three dogs from the same household, BUT you choose what you are happy with. We will ask you how many dogs you would like to look after and what sized dog/s you would be happy to care for.

Jessie

March 2025

We have been using PetStay and Jane for many years, both with our previous dog Wilma and now Jessie. Lynn and Ray look after Jessie as if she is their own. The service provided is five star! Jessie is happy and contented and enjoys her walks along the canal. Lynn sends us lots of up-dates and pictures of her stay. Jessie is always loved and cared for and I couldn’t recommend Jane and PetStay more highly

Judith

Happy Dogs

February 2025

Our dogs had a great time with Pat and Geoff in Staffordshire. I felt more comfortable leaving them in a loving home rather than kennels and would highly recommend.

Mr Atkinson

Snoodle

June 2022

Lily our 10 year old Snoodle had a wonderful time with Judy, we were sent photos and updates whilst away which was a great relief to know she was being well looked after and seemed very content, will defo use this service again.

Chris

Millie

May 2022

We were happy that Millie was staying with Neil & Sue after her trial stay went well a few weeks before. When we arrived at their home Millie’s tail started to wag and she seemed excited about going into the house and staying with them, which put our minds at rest as we were leaving her for three weeks. On our return Neil & Sue said she had been fine and enjoyed her routine including her daily walks. So pleased to leave her in a home environment with such lovely caring people. Will definitely not have to worry when leaving her in August. Can’t thank you, Neil & Sue enough.

Julie & Ian

Marnie

March 2022

Kay & I are so very happy we found PetStay and Pat & Geoff. Marnie absolutely adores staying with them and it is very clear they love Marnie too. We are so lucky to have such wonderful carers for Marnie and, for her, it is like her own holiday. Kay & I can completely relax knowing Marnie is having 5 star attention with P & G. They are such lovely people, we are massively pleased with all the arrangements.

Kay & Nick

Peggy & Tessa

July 2020

Our 2 dealings with PetStay ( North Staffordshire) have been extremely professional from start to finish. Jane managed to find the same carer for our 2 dogs which was very reassuring. The level of detail required from the start of the process is very thorough and we felt very confident that all would be done to ensure our dogs were well looked after, which indeed they were. Sue and her family were very welcoming and looked after our dogs as though they were their own. Sue sent texts and photos when we were away to reassure us that the dogs were happy. She was very understanding with our younger, very nervous dog who was obviously very much at ease with the family. The trial visit is an excellent idea for both carer and owner. Thank you Jane and Sue and family for your care and concern.

Judy

Splitz

September 2019

I can’t say enough about Rosie, Adrian and their lovely daughter Aoife, who cared for Splitz whilst I was on holiday. He is an aged dog of 16 years, who is almost blind so needs lots of TLC. He went for lovely walks and I know he had lots of attention. I have no hesitation in letting him be cared for again in their lovely home.

Sarah

Connie

September 2019

We cannot say how happy we are to have chosen PetStay for Connie Judy was amazing. Connie was so looked after and spoilt we will never let Connie stay anywhere else. PetStay for your pet is the best care a pet could ask for thank you so much.

Cath and Nick

Curtis

September 2019

Chris and Bob were lovely, they looked after Curtis like he was their own pet. They gave him lots of love, walks and treats and provided a warm, safe environment for him which gave me a great peace of mind. Jane was very prompt and informative with all matters regarding availability and processes. I would recommend PetStay and use their service again.

Denise

Bruno

September 2019

Thanks again Jane for finding us such a lovely couple, Sarah and Glyn, to look after Bruno – he had a great time with them. Look forward to booking with you again soon.

Christine and Sam

Chase & Tommy

September 2019

Chase and Tommy had a fabulous holiday with Auntie Lisa at her house. They were spoiled, it was a real home from home. We even had texts to say they were settled and that they were all snuggled on the sofa. I would highly recommend… FANTASTIC.

Janice

Rufus

August 2019

It was our first time leaving Rufus with carers whilst we went on holiday for a week. After a meet and greet with Glyn and Sarah we knew he would be well looked after. Rufus had a great time – he went on lots of walks, they were happy to keep us up to date with how he was getting on and he came back to us a happy doggy! Just want to say thanks and we would be very happy to use PetStay again.

Melissa and Steve

Ollie

May 2019

I have complete confidence when Ollie goes to Teresa & Andy. They are lovely people & care for Ollie so well. Each time he stays with them he remembers them & they get a big greeting from him. He obviously loves staying with Teresa & Andy & is completely safe & secure in their house & garden. I am so grateful to them for all their help.

Pamela

Teddy

April 2019

Teddy had a wonderful stay with Judy and Mike. Their house really was a home from home for him while we were away. They really cared for him which meant that we could enjoy a worry-free mini-break. Teddy is looking forward to returning to his holiday home in 6 weeks’ time! Many thanks for organising it all for us.

Helen & Ian

Poppy

April 2019

This was the first time we had used PetStay and [were] naturally a bit apprehensive. Judy and Mike were lovely, we had a prior meeting with Poppy. Judy immediately played with her and Poppy just started to play and we knew then that she would be happy there. We were updated with lovely photos and she looked happy and we wondered if she would want to come home!! We will use PetStay again in the future.

Suzanne

Molly & Coco

April 2019

It was Molly and Coco first time away from home and we were a little apprehensive but we needn’t have been they had a great time with Judy and Mike, they settled quickly and seemed very happy. Judy kept in touch with us by email with updates on how they were and stories of the funny things they were doing, she also sent photos. Very good service would recommend PetStay. And a big thank you to Judy and Mike for enabling us to have a great holiday.

Sue

Honey

March 2019

Honey
Thanks so much for helping us out at such short notice. So professional and supportive from the first contact. Matched up with a perfect sitter and we felt at ease from the first moment. Honey had a great week and we loved that it was like ‘home from home’. Looking forward to next time! Thanks again.

Su

Charlie

March 2019

Pat & Geoff were a credit to your company. It was their first time to have a dog to stay and they both wanted to get everything right! [At the Meet & Greet] they gave me the time to explain what makes Charlie ‘tick’ and I felt they really knew him. I left Charlie with them feeling very confident that he would settle and have a good time. As requested Pat sent me some updates while I was on holiday which was much appreciated. I would not hesitate to use Pat & Geoff again.

Christine

Barney & Scally

March 2019

I am so happy leaving Barney & Scally with my pet carer Sue. She looks after them very well and they do what they would do at home, which pleases me.
I get pictures, which is nice, and I just don’t worry about them. But it’s lovely to get them back!

Judy

Roxie

January 2019

This was our first time using PetStay. Roxie our much-loved boxer stayed with Lynne and Ray and was so well cared for we don’t think she wanted to come home as she wouldn’t get out of the car when we pulled up at home. We would not hesitate to recommend Lynne and Ray to anyone thank you again.

Kathleen

Tarra

January 2019

Tarra had a fab time with Judy, and it was reassuring to have regular emails with pictures of Tarra. It was a pleasure to have used the service and I look forward to using you again.
