Tips for securing your dog’s stay in Gateshead before spaces fill up

Planning a weekend away or a long Bank Holiday break?

You’re not alone—and that means dog boarding spots fill up fast.

At Chrysidis Pet Care in Gateshead, I offer calm, home-based care for a limited number of dogs at a time. If you’re thinking about getting away for a Bank Holiday or summer weekend, here’s how to book smoothly and what to know before you go.

1. Book at Least 3–6 Weeks in Advance

Spots for Easter, May Day, summer weekends, and Christmas often fill early.

Even regular clients are encouraged to book ahead—especially if your dog needs trial visits.

2. Check Availability for Full Stays

Be clear on:

Drop-off and pickup times Whether day care or overnight boarding is needed Any special routines or medications

I’ll confirm the full booking and make sure your dog has everything they need for a relaxed stay.

3. Bring a Familiar Item to Help Them Settle

Even for a weekend stay, a bed, toy, or blanket from home helps reduce stress and support routine.

4. What’s Included in a Stay?

At Chrysidis Pet Care:

£24/night for overnight care All meals provided Calm, home-based environment No crates, no kennels Routines followed for feeding, walks, rest

5. Trial Visits Available for Nervous or First-Time Dogs

Want to ease your dog in? I offer trial sessions to help your dog settle before a full holiday stay.
