Why you should choose Piran Pets for Home Boarding
There are many reasons why a stay with me and Evie will benefit your dog
although we are licenced to board up to 3 dogs, we prefer to only board 2 dogs at a time, offering a more exclusive care package for your pets
we only board dogs we know, so no nasty surprises or bad behaviour. All dogs staying are likely to have been exposed to all the other dogs I walk meaning your dog’s stay will be relaxed
your dogs will receive at least 2 walks a day whilst boarding with Nicky and Evie
toys will be available for added stimulation at home
clean beds and clean water will always be available
we can provide regular ‘pupdates’ so while you are away you can rest assured knowing your dog is being well cared for
Piran Pets offer a personal service. We do not use other walkers or home boarders unless this has been previously agreed. Dogs boarding with Piran Pets will stay with Nicky and Evie and be treated as one of the family for the duration of their happy stay
A day in the life of a dog walker
Bella, a four year old retriever, has been staying for the past 3 weeks. She loves home boarding and gets on with Evie very well. Monday is the day her owners are coming home. Monday is the day Bella decides to roll in a massive pile of horse manure, all fresh and green. Monday is a really good day for Bella to have a bath!
It’s lovely having dogs to stay, I’m licenced by Cornwall Council to home board 3 dogs at a time but restrict this number to 2 to provide a more exclusive service.
So Bella has gone home now and all is quiet at the Piran Pets Pad. It’s great catching a bit of one to one time with Evie before the next four legged guest arrives. A break also gives me a chance to catch up with cleaning beds and towels!
Today hasn’t been the best day to be a dog walker. I used three sets of waterproofs but none of the dogs seemed to mind getting soaked. If anything, the rain made them all frisky. I did my afternoon ‘Little dog Trek’ at Chapel Coombe in St Agnes and this provided a bit of shelter for the little dogs – who all ended up going in the stream in any case. Towels, coats and van are now all dry ready for another soaking tomorrow!
Dogs Love Adventure Treks!
Since focussing on adventure treks, Piran Pets have been rewarded by seeing so many happy dogs. Dogs playing with each other on the beaches, in the woods and across the sand dunes. The fast paced walks use up energy and provide them with much needed exercise.
They also offer lots of different stimulation. Your dogs are stimulated by their changing surroundings, by the different smells, by water and by sand. They are stimulated by each other. Most of the Piran Pets Adventure dogs know each other so they have already bonded and developed a group dynamic. In addition to all of this they are also stimulated by the many other different dogs and humans we meet on our exciting adventures.
The Wednesday Retriever Romp has proved very popular, providing an hour and a half of exciting fun for this water loving breed. We have been enjoying the empty beaches – one of the positive outcomes of bad weather The dogs just love bouncing all over each other, splashing through the waves and chasing each other across the dunes. I especially love to run down some of the steeper dunes at Holywell Bay, with 6 retrievers in tow and lots of barking and happy wagging tails!
On Fridays, the Big Dog Adventure Treks have also been very well attended. We have been enjoying a few Friday afternoons going off piste at Idless. As soon as paws hit the bouncy woodland floor the dogs are so energised, they chase each other, chase smells and enjoy a cleansing dip and cool down after so much adventure.
The smaller dogs can’t always walk so far so I always tailor their walks to suit smaller paws – but they still have lots of fun and adventures, but with dogs of their own size who won’t flatten them in play or knock them over!
Whether big or small, your dog will love Piran Pets Adventure Treks!
Let your dog’s adventure start here.

A new EXCLUSIVE home boarding service offered by Piran Pets
The benefits of EXCLUSIVE home boarding……
- fewer dogs means more attention to each dog staying
- a more comfortable, chilled and laid back home atmosphere where your dog can relax
Here at Piran Pets we like to ensure that your dog’s stay is as comfortable and happy as possible. For that reason we now offer exclusive home boarding – offering home boarding to a maximum of two dogs at a time. So if your dog is boarding with us they enjoy the luxury of being one of a very small number of dogs. The benefits of this? Your dog can enjoy lots of walkies, cuddles and attention. Boarding a smaller number of dogs means your dog can come out walking for lots of the day then enjoy some play and relaxation with Evie before bed time.
If you have a dog who would benefit from exclusive home boarding, please contact Nicky from Piran Pets 07737843781
