Dog boarding in Rushmere

When you travel from Rushmere, a kennel run is not the only option. Petme boarding sitters keep your dog in their own Ipswich home, with a normal routine of walks, meals and company, so an anxious dog settles instead of waiting in a pen.

Each host is ID-verified and rated by other Ipswich owners, sends photos across the stay, and the Protection Plan offers up to £20,000 for eligible incidents. A meet and greet before the first night lets you check the home and the fit.

I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs and cats, so animals have always been a huge part of my life. From having my own four-legged sidekicks - often behaving more like Dumb & Dumber than well-behaved pet

FAQ

Dog boarding in Rushmere: common questions

How much does dog boarding cost per night in Ipswich?

Overnight boarding in Ipswich typically costs £24 to £38 per night, depending on the sitter, your dog's size and the time of year. Holiday weeks book up first and sit at the top of that range. Each Rushmere sitter's nightly rate is shown on Petme before you book.

Is my dog boarded in the sitter's home in Rushmere?

Yes. Petme boarding is home-based, not a kennel. Your dog stays in a Rushmere sitter's home and follows a normal daily routine. Most sitters limit how many dogs they take at once, which you can confirm with them in the app before booking.

What if my dog needs a vet during a stay in Rushmere?

The Protection Plan offers up to £20,000 for eligible accidents and illness during the stay, subject to its terms. Rushmere sitters contact you straight away and can reach emergency vet care while you are away.
