Is Home Boarding Right for My Dog?

Choosing the right care for your dog while you’re away is a big decision. Not every type of boarding suits every dog, and that’s okay.

Home boarding can be a great option — but it works best for certain dogs. Here’s how to tell if it’s the right fit for yours.

Dogs Who Usually Do Well with Home Boarding

Home boarding is often ideal for dogs who:

• Are small or calm in nature

• Enjoy human company

• Prefer a quieter environment

• Are comfortable around other dogs of similar size

• Follow a fairly consistent routine

These dogs tend to settle quickly in a home setting and enjoy being part of everyday life rather than a busy boarding facility.

Dogs Who May Not Be the Best Fit

Home boarding may not suit dogs who:

• Are highly reactive or anxious around other dogs

• Need constant high-energy activity

• Are used to very large group environments

• Struggle with change despite support and reassurance

In these cases, a different type of care may be more appropriate — and that’s always worth discussing honestly.

Why We Take Time to Get to Know Each Dog

At Daisy’s Digs, we believe the right match matters. That’s why we ask questions before accepting bookings and take time to understand your dog’s temperament, routine, and needs.

This approach helps ensure:

• Dogs feel settled and safe

• Group dynamics remain calm

• Every dog has a positive experience

It’s better for the dogs — and for their owners.

An Honest, Individual Approach

Our goal isn’t to board as many dogs as possible. It’s to provide a calm, safe, home-from-home environment for dogs who will genuinely benefit from it.

If you’re unsure whether home boarding — or Daisy’s Digs specifically — is right for your dog, we’re always happy to talk it through.
