Home Away From Home
Muttley’s is a personal, friendly service providing dog walking, dog boarding, house sitting and home visits for dogs and cats in Bolton and surrounding areas. My aim is to offer a home from home service for your dog(s) whilst you’re not available to. I know they are precious to you and I will always treat them as my own, reassuring them in your absence with plenty of affection and strokes.

We also provide home visits for your house cat whilst you are away. We provide home visits for puppies, sick or elderly dogs in instances where you are unable to take leave off work. After a week off work on getting a puppy, it is still too young to be left alone all day. I am able to visit to ensure they have enough food and water, pop them out for a quick loo break and play with them to keep them happy before another nap and your return later on.
Home environment boarding is a great way to ensure your dog is being looked after as they would be at home and it reduces the stress of being separated from their owners. The pets that board with us become part of the family. They live and sleep in a comfortable home with a safe, secure, decent sized, well maintained lawned garden with patio area.
Harwood Vale is an area that’s two minutes walk away from my home where many walks begin. Any dog boarding with me over a weekend is sometimes taken on longer walks into the surrounding countryside.
We also offer a house sitting service, where your pets are catered for within your own home. Please enquire for details.
Day Care sessions are great fun for all dogs from puppies to more mature dogs but not all dogs enjoy it in unit buildings. I offer this from my home in small groups.
The vast majority of dogs love to socialise with other dogs. I take them on lovely, varied walks that give them much enrichment. It allows them to sniff to their hearts content and if they are allowed off lead, they can run and play with the others in lots of different environments fulfilling their natural instincts.
A Little Bit About Joyce
My Name is Joyce, I live in Bolton with my two sons in a semi rural area called Harwood. Ever since I was a little girl I’ve loved dogs, so much so that numerous friends for over a decade have asked me to look after their dogs whilst they went on holiday. This early seed of interest later evolved from a personal passion to an enjoyable business and with the help of my two young adult sons, I opened Muttleys.
Muttley’s is a friendly and caring dog boarding business based in my comfortable home. There are no kennels or crates here, just snuggly blankets and lots of love! All of the dogs that come to stay at Muttley’s are treated as part of the family.
