Welcome to Bilberry Heath Dog Homestay
We are a fully licensed and insured luxurious home-boarding and day-care experience where your dog(s) will be treated like a member of our family from the moment they enter the door. As we only home-board on a small scale (no more than 4 dogs a day) we are able to spend quality time with all of them and form a close and trusted bond that instils a sense of peace and comfort in your dog.
Our Location
Large Comfortable Country Home
Your dog will have plenty of room to roam in our large house that is is located well away from roads and surrounded by woodland and fields.
We are based in the village of Bickerton near Malpas in Cheshire with beautiful walks from the door along the Sandstone Trail which is renowned for it's superb, unbroken walking and is very safe and perfect for off-lead walks should this be your preference. All walks are on long lead unless specified otherwise.
About Us
Bilberry Heath Dog Homestay is completely family-run and we have many years of experience with dogs to offer.
We realise that initially a change of environment can be very stressful for a dog and therefore ensure that every experience that they have with us is positive and that they have our undivided attention so all their emotional and physical needs are attended to.
We are aware that each dog is unique and will discuss with you their individual characters and routines to help settle them as quickly as possible.
We are happy to administer any medicines that your dog may need during their stay with us and any specific dietary requirements. A form will be given prior to their arrival so that all of these details will be clearly set out.
You can rest assured that your dogs safety and well-being is paramount to us and we will make sure that they receive plenty of comforting cuddles during their fun-packed stay with us.

Customer Reviews
I can’t recommend Lizzy, Julia, and Phil at Bilberry Heath Dog Homestay highly enough! As a family run business, they provide a truly home from home experience for my yorkies every time they stay. From the moment they arrive, they’re treated like part of the family- cuddles on the sofa, plenty of love, and the kind of care that gives me complete peace of mind.
Lizzy, Julia, and Phil take them on wonderful woodland walks and even send me little videos of their adventures, which is such a lovely touch. It’s clear how much they love them, and seeing them so happy while I’m away makes all the difference. One of my dogs is normally very nervous with new people and doesn’t like to leave my side, but she has completely taken to them, which says everything about how patient and caring they are.
By the time they come home, they’re so relaxed and tired from all the fun, I know they’ve had the best little holiday! If you’re looking for a trusted family run Homestay where your dogs are treated as one of their own Lizzy, Julia and Phil are absolutely the ones to trust.

Our 6 month old puppy loves going to Bilberry Heath Dog Homestay for day-care and overnight stays. She runs through the front door as soon as she can get out of the car and especially loves her daily walk up on the Bickerton Hills.
This is a family-run business set in a welcoming home environment. Julia and Lizzy have shared videos and pictures of our pup when she is in their care which has been really reassuring as this is the first place that she has spent time away from home, outside our immediate family.
I would highly recommend Bilberry Heath Dog Homestay if you are looking for a 'home from home' for your dogs when you are away, working or in need of a break and I'm really glad we have found somewhere we know our puppy is happy, stimulated and well-looked after.
