Haydens Home Dog Boarding in short

Haydens Home Dog Boarding is a Telford couple, Hayden and Sandra, offering home boarding and day care from a detached house with a tall fenced garden. Each dog keeps a separate indoor sleep and meal area, which suits puppies and dogs that need downtime. A home-boarding licence, a care qualification and a first aid certificate are all stated. Sandra's grooming background since 2017 adds coat-care experience to the boarding offer. Boarding runs from a detached house on Bridle Road in Telford, serving Telford owners.

The physical setup is the selling point: a detached house with a tall fenced garden, and each dog given its own indoor sleep and meal area rather than shared quarters. That layout suits puppies and dogs that need downtime between company. Sandra's grooming background adds coat-care experience to the stay, and the home-boarding licence, care qualification and first aid certificate are all stated.

The customer evidence is a perfect headline over a small base, Google-only in the held record. Glowing but thin is the fair summary: enough to show settled stays, not enough to test the offer across seasons and dog types. What the numbers cannot show is paperwork, and prices plus insurance details are both absent from the public record.

The review record is perfect but small: 5 from 13 Google reviews, with no other platform ratings in the record we hold. Our view is that Haydens Home Dog Boarding suits owners who want small-scale boarding where each dog keeps its own space. What counts against it is the missing prices and insurance details, which leave gaps beside the glowing reviews.

Our verdict

Our verdict: Haydens suits you if you want small-scale boarding where each dog keeps its own space, since separate sleep areas are built into the offer [1]. The licence and Level 3 award are concrete. What counts against it is the missing prices and insurance details, which leave gaps beside the five-star reviews.

Questions about Haydens Home Dog Boarding

Is Haydens Home Dog Boarding any good?

On the evidence, yes for small-scale boarding: it sits fifth in our Telford dog walkers table with 5 from 13 Google reviews, offering home boarding where each dog keeps its own sleep area. A licence, a care qualification and first aid certification are stated. The gaps are prices and insurance details. Ask for both at enquiry, with dates attached.

Is Haydens Home Dog Boarding registered with a trade scheme?

Dog walking needs no mandatory registration, but home boarding does, and Haydens states a Telford and Wrekin home-boarding licence, BTWAWL070, on the business's own website. A Level 3 care award and a first aid certificate sit beside it. Ask for the licence number and check it with the council before booking.

What does Haydens Home Dog Boarding charge?

It publishes no prices for boarding or day care. Send your dates for an exact quote, and ask what an overnight stay and a day-care day each cost. Confirm the price, the hours covered and the cancellation terms before you agree anything for your booking. Ask whether day-care days and overnight stays carry different rates, and what the peak-season terms look like.

Where does Haydens Home Dog Boarding work?

Haydens boards from a detached Telford house on Bridle Road with a tall fenced garden and serves Telford owners, with each dog given a separate indoor sleep and meal area. Sandra's grooming background adds coat-care experience. Send your postcode and dates to confirm availability for your stay. Ask how many dogs board at once and how the separate sleep areas work in practice.

How is Haydens Home Dog Boarding ranked?

It ranks fifth of the ten dog walkers in our September round, picked for owners wanting small-scale boarding with separate sleep areas. The licence and the five-star reviews carry it into fifth. Fifth of ten reflects the licence and reviews set against the missing prices and insurance details. Read the full review and its sources, then ask for rates for your dates.

What do the reviews say about Haydens Home Dog Boarding?

The held record shows 5 from 13 Google reviews, seen 4 September 2026, with no other platform ratings beside them. That is a glowing but thin picture from a small set of stays. Read a spread of the reviews themselves, then ask for the prices and insurance details that the headline does not show.

How does Haydens Home Dog Boarding compare with the other Telford dog walkers?

It sits fifth of ten, between Kerrina's Canine Care and Walks and Waggy Tails. The separate sleep areas and the grooming background are what set it apart; the missing price list is what both neighbours share as a gap. Compare the full table, then match the pick to your boarding dates.
