Bushell's Active Paws & Stays

Bushell's Active Paws & Stays, formerly known as Hayley's Active Paws & Stays, is a home-based pet care business located in St. Ives, Cambridgeshire. Founded by Hayley, the business began in 2020 and has since expanded to include her husband Nick, who joined in 2024. The couple provides a range of services including dog boarding, day care, pet sitting, and dog walking, all within a home environment. The approach focuses on providing a safe and loving home for pets, ensuring they are treated with the same care and attention as they would receive at their own home. The business is committed to the welfare, health, and safety of all animals in their care, adhering to strict ethical standards and local authority guidelines.

The business offers a variety of services tailored to meet the needs of different pets and their owners. These include home-from-home dog boarding, doggy day care, in-house sitting, and pet taxi services. They also provide dog walking services and are known for their free consultations and meet-and-greet sessions, which allow owners to assess the environment and meet the groomer. The business is particularly accommodating for senior dogs and those who prefer shorter, sniffier walks over long hikes. They also offer services for small pets and have a secure garden with agility equipment to keep dogs mentally stimulated.
