How I Keep Dogs Comfortable During Overnight Boarding

What to expect when your dog stays at Chrysidis Pet Care in Gateshead

Leaving your dog overnight—especially for the first time—can be stressful for both pets and their owners. The good news? With the right environment and care, your dog can feel relaxed, safe, and happy while you’re away.

I’m Kyriakos Chrysidis, and at Chrysidis Pet Care, I offer home-based overnight boarding in Gateshead that prioritizes your dog’s comfort. No kennels. No crates. Just calm, one-on-one care in a quiet home.

Here’s exactly how I keep dogs feeling at ease during their stay:

1. Home-Based Setting, Not a Kennel

Dogs stay with me at my house on 305 Brighton Road, not in a commercial facility. This means:

No barking crowds No cages or cold floors A real home environment—calm, cozy, and familiar

2. Familiar Routines Are Respected

Every dog has their own rhythm. I ask for your dog’s feeding times, walk preferences, and bedtime habits—and I stick to them closely. Keeping things predictable helps dogs settle in quickly.

3. Comfort Items Welcome

I always encourage owners to bring their dog’s bed, blanket, or favourite toy. Familiar smells and textures reduce stress and help create a sense of safety.

4. Quiet Rest Time

After play or walks, your dog can relax in a peaceful space with soft bedding, gentle lighting, and no overwhelming noise. I create a sleep-friendly atmosphere for deep, uninterrupted rest.

5. One-on-One Attention

I care for just a few dogs at a time, so every guest gets plenty of attention, affection, and care—without overstimulation or group chaos.

6. Optional Updates

Want peace of mind while you’re away? I’m happy to provide photo or text updates so you know your dog is doing just fine.
