About Hills Home Boarding
We are Stuart and Jo Hill and we have been dog lovers and owners for pretty much all of our lives. We live in Oldbury with four of our own “kids”, Cavapoos, Dylan, Bailey, Max and Rocco and we hated the thought of having them penned up in a kennel. Having decided that the time was right, we started offering other dog owners the kind of service and care that we want for our own dogs. We will welcome your pet into our home to become part of our family for the duration of their stay, whether for a day or a month. Cuddles, sofa time, crazy “smartie” moments, are all par for the course! Find out more about us here.
About Us
Hills Home Dog Boarding is a dog boarding and day care service that specialises in small to medium dogs. It’s run by just the two of us, Jo and Stuart Hill.
We started Hills Home Dog Boarding in 2016 when we realised that there were very limited options if we wanted to go away. We hated the idea of our boys being penned up in a concrete kennel and thought that there has to be another option . We’re here to offer other dog owners the kind of service and care that we want for our own dogs.
We run our boarding service from home so that your dog can enjoy a comfortable stay in a relaxing, yet controlled environment, with plenty of attention and personalised care.
About Jo
Hi, I’m Jo and after many years of owning, fostering and rescuing German Shepherd Dogs, work and family circumstances dictated that, for some years, I couldn’t devote the time and commitment needed to owning my own dogs as I didn’t like leaving them alone for long periods of time.
That all changed three years ago when I began working from home and Stuart and I realised we had the time to dedicate to becoming dog owners once again. We first met Max and Rocco when they were boarding over the Christmas holidays with friends of ours, fell in love with them and decided that Cavapoos were the breed we wanted. A couple of months later we bought our “babies” home, four month old brothers, Dylan and Bailey. Just a few weeks later we found out that Max and Rocco were looking for a new home and, as they were the brothers we fell in love with, we just couldn’t say no and two became four!
We know from our own experience that working full-time and owning a dog can be difficult to juggle; you are always worried about them being left alone. That’s why we set up our day care service. I’m here at home all day giving your dog care and companionship – no dog is ever left on their own when they stay with us. I am also a Director of the Association of Dog Boarders and as such, am fully up to date with all the current legislation regarding dog care.
About Stuart
Hi, I’m Stuart. I’ve also had many dogs over the years from little Heinz 57’s to Great Danes, so I’m well versed in looking after many different breeds of dog. I currently work full time, so we always try to schedule our Meet & Greets after 4.30pm during the week or between 10am and 4pm on a weekend so you get the chance to meet the both of us.
After a hard day at work there is no better feeling than coming home to a houseful of dogs. Believe me, playtime and cuddles are the perfect way to de-stress! Weekends fly by as there is always a game of tag going on in the garden while I’m pottering in my greenhouse. I also enjoy taking photo’s of the dogs and I’m sure they enjoy being photographed as posing involves lots of treats.
Please note: We do not take any of the bull breeds or entire dogs (Male or Female) over the age of 9 months.
Dog Home Boarding
Boarding your dog with us at Hills Home Dog Boarding is a great alternative to kennels.

Keeping You Updated
We know that leaving your dog with someone else is always a worry even when they are in the best of hands. That’s why we’ll keep you updated on how your dog is doing during their stay – we’ll even send pictures so you can relax and enjoy your holiday knowing your dog is having fun too.
Please note: We do not take any of the bull breeds or entire dogs (Male or Female) over the age of 9 months.

Our day care service costs £20.00 per dog per day.
Whilst we do NOT charge extra for Bank Holidays, over Christmas and New Year, an additional 25% premium will be applied to the standard day care rate. Please contact us for further details.
What are your opening hours?
Our dog day care service is available 7 days a week from 8am to 6pm (Mon-Fri) and 9am to 6pm (Sat – Sun). We also offer boarding if your dog needs overnight care, so your dog can stay somewhere they are already familiar with.
What will my dog do at dog day care?
We offer a home from home environment giving you the peace of mind that your dog is being looked after as part of our family instead of being home alone. As every dog is different with a variety of wants and needs there is no “typical” day, however we will guarantee they go home happy and tired!
Please note: We do not take any of the bull breeds or entire dogs (Male or Female) over the age of 9 months.
Meet & Greet
At Hills Home Dog Boarding we always insist on a Meet & Greet session before you book your dog in for boarding or day care. This is a free service that allows you to view our home and ask any questions you may have. It also allows our resident dogs to meet your dog to make sure they all get-on. Contact us now to book your Meet & Greet.
What should I bring to the meet & greet?
The most important thing to bring is your dog. The Meet & Greet is an opportunity for your dog to get to know us and us to get to know them, that way they’ll be more relaxed when time comes for their stay. Other than that we just need to see your dog’s vaccination certificate.
What happens during the visit?
This is an informal meeting to ensure that both you are happy with the service we offer and that you will be happy leaving your beloved pet with us. It usually lasts about an hour, during which you and your dog will get a tour of our home so you can see where your dog will sleep, eat and play. We will also discuss your dogs individual needs, for example their exercise routine, diet and favourite games. And, of course, you can ask us any questions you may have about our service.
Can my dog stay for a longer trial?
Yes, after your Meet & Greet you can also book a trial day or trial overnight stay, so your dog can experience a normal day with us. This can be very reassuring if you are worried about how your dog will settle with us. These are charged at our normal rates.
How do I book a Meet & Greet?
To book your free Meet & Greet please get in touch with us here. We can accommodate evenings and weekends to fit around your work schedule.
Please note: We do not take any of the bull breeds or entire dogs (Male or Female) over the age of 9 months.
