A home away from home... just for your dog!

Hi, we’re Shannon and Ryan, and we run Buttermere Boarding from our home in Heywood. We offer a cosy, home-from-home experience, ensuring your dog is cared for as part of our family. Unlike traditional kennels, we only board one dog at a time—or multiple from the same household—so your pet receives our full attention in a comfortable, stress-free environment

Why Choose Buttermere Boarding?

We follow a clear and caring process to ensure every dog in our care is happy and well looked after.

Meet & Greet (Optional)

For new clients, we offer an optional meet & greet at our home. This allows your dog to explore their potential new environment and meet us in a calm, friendly setting.

Registration

Once you’re ready to proceed, you’ll complete detailed registration forms covering your dog’s medical history, feeding preferences, and personality traits. This helps us tailor our care to your dog’s individual needs.

Trial Night (Mandatory)

To ensure boarding is suitable for your dog, every new dog must complete a charged one-night trial stay. This allows us to observe how they settle into our home and ensures they’re comfortable and stress-free. Boarding isn’t always suitable for all dogs, and we prioritize their comfort and well-being above all else. Dogs must also be comfortable sleeping on their own bed, which helps them feel secure during their stay.

For Repeat Bookings

Once your dog has completed the initial process, booking with us again is quick and simple. All you need to do is select your dates and pay a 10% deposit to secure your booking.

Ongoing Support

Throughout your dog’s stay, we keep you updated with regular pictures so you can see how they’re doing and feel reassured they’re safe, happy, and well-cared for. Your peace of mind is as important to us as your dog’s well-being.

Amazing service off Ryan and his partner Shannon. We felt so comfortable leaving Barney with them they made him so welcome and couldn't do enough for us. We have already re booked for our summer holiday and would recommend them to everyone. If you're looking for somewhere safe and homey for your fur baby please use these guys. Our Barney got lots of walks and even learnt a new trick! One happy little lab. Thankyou guys. Vicky x

Toby is normally pretty nervous when he meets new people, and is a high energy dog that some boarders can't deal with properly. Fortunately, Toby loved going into Ryan's from the first visit, and Ryan was fantastic dealing with Toby's energy levels. Cannot recommend high enough.

Our Loki has just spent the weekend with Ryan and Shannon, a lovely couple that took really good care of our fur baby.

Im so glad we found Shannon and Ryan. Meg has just come back from her 1st ever overnight stay as a meet and greet. Meg was so happy and comfortable and took to both Ryan and Shannon straight away. We are going away in January and we will know Meg will be so looked after. I got pictures and updates which was lovely Thank you so much for taking great care of Meg
