When you’re looking for care for your dog, you’re often presented with two options: a kennel or a home-based pet sitter. While both provide shelter, the experience your dog has can be very different.

At Chrysidis Pet Care, I offer home-style boarding and day care in Gateshead that’s intentionally different from the typical kennel setup. Here’s why many pet parents are making the switch:

1. Your Dog Is Part of the Family

In a kennel, dogs are usually housed in individual cages or runs. At Chrysidis Pet Care, your dog stays in my home at 305 Brighton Road—not in a cage or outbuilding. They have soft beds, safe spaces, and friendly interaction throughout the day.

2. Personal Attention

Kennels often care for many dogs at once, with limited time for one-on-one interaction. I only care for a small number of pets at a time, so your dog receives consistent attention, play, and affection from me directly—never a rotating staff.

3. Familiar Routines

I work closely with you to match your dog’s feeding, walking, and sleeping habits. In a kennel, these routines can be generalized or based on a schedule that may not suit your pet. At Chrysidis Pet Care, your dog’s routine is my routine.

4. Less Stress, More Comfort

Home-based care is calmer, quieter, and more personal. Dogs often settle in quicker and experience less separation anxiety when they stay in a familiar, lived-in environment.

5. Flexible and Affordable

With boarding at £24/night, day care at £19/day, and dog walking for £11, you get top-tier care without inflated kennel prices. Plus, I offer after-4PM walks—perfect for working families in Gateshead.

The Bottom Line

If you’re looking for pet care that feels personal, thoughtful, and genuinely safe, Chrysidis Pet Care is here for you. With over 30 years of experience, I care for every dog as if they’re my own.
