Derry home dog boarding, from the Culmore lagoons to Prehen Wood
Derry's council keeps Brooke Park lead-only throughout, because it is an ornamental park. In its other parks, a guest dog under control can run off the lead on open grass, but not on pitches or shared paths. Home dog boarding in Derry runs £22 to £36 per night, and you keep up to 90% of every booking.

Local know-how pays off in Derry
Derry has a wet maritime climate with rain spread across the year, frosty spells in winter, and short winter days that leave a narrow window of daylight. Walkers who carry a raincoat and a towel, plan sheltered routes on the wettest days, and hold their slots through the drizzle keep the regulars that fair-weather walkers lose.
When owners travel
Demand peaks over the summer holidays and across Christmas and New Year, with a second wave on the February, May and October half-terms and the bank-holiday weekends. Boarding and house sitting lead when owners travel; walking, daycare and drop-in visits carry the commuting week.
Know your Derry areas
Most bookings cluster Creggan to Springtown. Owners look for sitters who know the area and can reach them without a long trip.
Breeds you will meet in Derry
Owners here mostly keep Labrador Retriever, Cocker Spaniel, French Bulldog, Staffordshire Bull Terrier. Knowing how those breeds behave, and saying so on your profile, is what turns a first booking into a repeat client.
Woods, lagoons and lead rules by the Foyle
Prehen Wood, a Woodland Trust wood on the Foyle's east bank just over 3 km from the city centre, welcomes dogs. Culmore Country Park, off Coney Road, has more than 3 km of paths with views over Lough Foyle. The council's riverside greenway, along both sides of the river, is lead-only for dogs. You choose the nights and how many dogs stay, and there is no kennel rota.
