Great Pups offers personalised dog boarding and wedding chaperone services in the North East of England and the Lake District.

Hi, I’m Janna – the person behind Great Pups! I began offering home-from-home dog boarding in Newcastle Great Park in 2023, and in 2024 I expanded to include wedding chaperone services across North East England and the Lake District. After boarding dogs for several years, I’ve built up extensive hands-on experience caring for all sorts of breeds and personalities.
I’m fully insured, DBS-checked, and have completed accredited courses in both Pet Sitting & Dog Walking and Dog First Aid. I’ve also been inspected by Newcastle City Council and hold an official dog-boarding license. Based in Newcastle Great Park, I’m just a few minutes drive from the A1, which makes it easy for me to reach various venues across the North East region. I offer a range of wedding chaperone packages and am always happy to tailor services if you’d simply like your dog to pop by for a short visit on your special day. Additionally, I provide overnight boarding before and after your wedding to ensure everything is as smooth and stress-free as possible.
Since I don’t have any dogs of my own, your dog receives my full attention and plenty of one-to-one care whilst boarding. I ensure they follow their usual routine so they feel comfortable, happy, and right at home.
Please be aware when boarding dogs overnight that the following applies:

As your dedicated wedding chaperone, I will ensure your dog is well cared for, happy, and has everything they need, allowing you to enjoy every moment completely stress-free. If needed, I can also provide overnight boarding before and after the wedding to make things even easier.
Please note:
Includes a meet and greet session before boarding commences, along with all walks during the stay.

I can't thank Janna enough; she was amazing as a wedding chaperone for Dolly and Rosie at my wedding.
Janna was the perfect host for Iona, taking such good care of her during her stay. She has a very professional approach, blended with a real homely feel, making her an ideal wedding chaperone. I hope to use her services again in the future whenever Iona needs to be watched.
Janna was amazing from start to finish as a wedding chaperone. Communication was great, and she really looked after our dog well. Our dog was impeccable for the ceremony, and she enjoyed her stay over with Janna. Couldn’t recommend her more!
An absolutely amazing service! If I could give Janna 10 stars, I would! Janna was exactly what we needed on the day of our wedding. She was so professional and knew exactly what was required for us to enjoy the experience of having our pup Joey there, without the stress and worry of managing him as our wedding chaperone. She picked him up from where he had been staying the night before and dropped him back later. She arranged for him to come around and see me while I was getting ready, posing accordingly in his wedding attire. Joey absolutely loved her too!
