0161 528 3377 adele.james@barkingmad.uk.comHi, I’m Adele, proud owner of Barking Mad Dog Boarding for the Stockport and Cheshire East area. I live in Bramhall with my husband, Paul, and until recently our beloved French Bulldog, Otis. Sadly, Otis crossed the rainbow bridge at the age of 10, and while he left a huge hole in our hearts, caring for your dogs has brought so much comfort and joy into our lives.
Animals have always been a huge part of my life. Growing up, I was surrounded by rabbits, guinea pigs, and even Pepi — our rescued one-eyed pony! But dogs have always held a very special place in my heart. I have Shane, the German Shepherd I raised from a puppy, and of course Otis, to thank for my lifelong love of dogs.
In 2022, I made the exciting decision to leave the corporate hospitality world behind and follow my passion for animals full-time. Providing dogs with the VIP treatment they truly deserve, and seeing the happiness and reassurance Barking Mad brings to both dogs and their owners, makes this the most rewarding career I could have chosen.
As a devoted dog owner myself, I understand just how important it is to feel confident that your furry family member is safe, loved, and happy while you’re away. That’s why we work closely with our trusted family of carefully selected hosts, matching each dog with the home and environment best suited to their personality and needs. Our hosts welcome dogs into their homes as one of the family, giving them plenty of love, attention, and care — whether they’re happiest as the only pup in the house or enjoy having canine companions around them.
You’re probably here because you’re looking for dog boarding in the Stockport area — and you’ve come to the right place.
At Barking Mad Stockport, we offer a trusted, personalised alternative to kennels, giving you complete peace of mind while you’re away. Your dog will enjoy a loving home-from-home stay where they are safe, happy, and genuinely cared for as part of the family.
It all begins with a visit to your own home, where we take the time to get to know you and your dog properly in their familiar environment. This first step is really important, as it allows us to understand their routine, personality, and individual needs in detail, ensuring we can provide the very best match for their stay.
Our hosts are all genuine dog lovers who truly enjoy welcoming dogs into their homes. Many are retired or work from home, meaning your dog benefits from a calm, relaxed environment with plenty of companionship throughout the day. Every host is fully supported by us and is carefully licensed and insured, giving you complete peace of mind.
From start to finish, we take care of everything for you — including collecting your dog from your home and returning them when you’re back. For safety and comfort, all dogs are chauffeured in a car just as they would be with their own family, either in the boot or safely on the back seat depending on what suits them best.
All you need to do is relax and enjoy your time away, knowing your dog is in safe, loving hands.

Would you love the companionship of dogs without the full-time commitment of ownership? As a Barking Mad host, you can provide bespoke home-from-home dog boarding across Stockport and the Cheshire East region for weekends and holidays.
Hosting is perfect for people who miss having a dog of their own or simply enjoy the company of furry friends. You’ll experience all the joy, companionship, and wellbeing benefits dogs bring, without the long-term financial or everyday commitment of ownership.
By becoming part of our trusted Barking Mad host family, you’ll provide dogs with a safe, loving home environment while their owners are away. I know first-hand just how much happiness a furry guest can bring into your home, and I’ll be there to support you every step of the way with full guidance and 24/7 support whenever you need it.
I look forward to hearing from you!
