Trusted Doggy Day Care in Bestwood Village, Nottingham
Welcome to Aunt Sals Dog Boarding
ABOUT US
At Aunt Sals, we know how important it is to feel confident and at ease when leaving your dog in someone else’s care.
That’s why we’ve created a place that feels just like home — a warm, secure, and loving environment where dogs can relax, play, and enjoy their day.
Whether you're heading out for work, off on holiday, or just need a bit of extra help, you can trust that your dog will be treated like family here. With plenty of attention, cuddles, exercise, and routine, we make sure every dog has a great day, every day.
We’re based in Bestwood Village, surrounded by peaceful countryside and some of Nottinghamshire’s most beautiful walking spots, including Colwick Park and Ploughman's Woods — ideal for sniffing, exploring, and rolling in the grass (which some dogs love a little too much!)

Every dog is different, and we do our best to tailor care to suit their individual needs. Whether they’re full of energy or prefer to curl up in a cosy spot, we provide the right balance of play, rest, and affection.
Dog Boarding
We offer overnight care in our home — no kennels, no isolation, just a safe and homely stay.

Drop-offs and pick-ups are always within this window, which helps us maintain a calm, structured routine for all dogs in our care. Punctuality is important for both dogs and owners, and we’re always ready to greet you with a smile (and a wagging tail!).
A Personal Touch
Hello, I’m Sal — known to most as “Aunt Sal”. I’ve been around dogs my whole life, after years of looking after neighbours’ and friends’ dogs, I realised how much I loved being part of their lives and decided to build something special.
This business is built on kindness, trust, and genuine care. I don’t see this as a job — it’s a lifestyle. Every dog who joins us becomes part of our little family, and their happiness and comfort is always my top priority.
