Dog boarding, that feels like home

We believe structure & routine is important to help your dog feel settled & comfortable, and so a typical day looks something like this…

Comfort & Care

We ensure every dog has their own triple glazed, temperature controlled private room within our home during their stay.

After a peaceful nights sleep they enjoy access to our large spacious home & garden, where they have the space to either play with our other guests, or enjoy time to themselves.

Pack walk

We’re have eight miles of tracks & over 300 acres of land available for our pack walks, which include woodland, wildflower meadows & secret spring fed ponds for your dog to explore on or off lead.

Garden games & play

Our large secure garden is the perfect place for your dog to get settled and unwind after our walks. With areas set up for agility, scent games & even a doggy pond if they fancy a dip. We always supervise these group play sessions to ensure your dog is comfortable within the group, and to help settle any over excitement or over stimulation!

Rest & Relaxation

While your dog might love walks & play, we know that they also need the downtime to rest, relax and recoup which is why we have dedicated areas inside our home for your dog to decompress, either with their playmates or on their own. We have a range of beds, quiet corners & safe spaces for your dog to feel comfortable.

Home boarding is £45 per dog per 24 hours, there is no additional charge for daycare within this 24 hour period.

Double rates apply for bank holidays and peak periods between the 24th December -2nd January

We take on dogs from 16 weeks to their senior years, however for dogs under 12 months we adopt the following practices:

• For puppies under 6 months our maximum consecutive boarding period is 72 hours.

• All puppies must be toilet trained. We take all our dogs out on a regular schedule, and while accidents do happen we do ask that your pup is able to relieve themselves outdoors on a regular schedule before joining us

We aim to be as flexible as can be to suit your needs, however we do recommend drop off before 10am and collection between 3:30-6pm, this helps reduce disruption to the dogs during the day.

We know that when travelling flights, trains and traffic to name a few can cause disruption and delays, so please get in touch to discuss options for early or late pick up’s/drop off’s

Unfortunately we are unable to accept intact (un-neutered) males, as we find that they don’t settle well within a pack that includes neutered males. Exceptions may be made to dogs under 12 months, however by this is on a dog by dog basis.

All dogs must arrive with their own collar, adequate food and/or medication to cover the length of their stay.

We aim for your dog to feel like this is a home from home, so we recommend bringing either their usual bedding, or perhaps a blanket they enjoy.

While you are welcome to bring along any toys they might enjoy, we do ask that you leave any squeaky or noisy toys at home.

We have a dedicated food storage area including fridge & freezer for raw food & a range of bowls including raised & slow feeds, all of which are cleaned and disinfected after use.

We feed all dogs separately and allow adequate time for the dog to digest before engaging in play or activity with the pack.

All dogs must arrive with enough food for the entirety of their stay.

We have a dedicated food storage area for wet and dry food including a dedicated fridge & freezer for raw food & a range of bowls including raised & slow feeds, all of which are cleaned and disinfected after use.

We always feed dogs separately and follow the feeding instructions on each dogs application form.

Whether your dog is fed once, twice or multiple times a day we always adequate time for them to digest before engaging in play or activity with the pack.

We also ensure all dogs have access to fresh water throughout the day, with fresh water bowls in every room and throughout common areas, all of which are washed and disinfected daily.

All staff members are trained in dog first aid & experienced with providing dog care.

Our intake form details any health needs or medications your dog may need, and we will administer these only with your consent.

We know how important it is to know your dog is happy & safe when in the care of someone else, so we love to share photos and videos during the day of how your dog is doing, and any relevant updates on their health and well-being.

Every dog boarding with us has access to their own private room, and we do not crate any dog unless the following conditions are met:

• Your dog is already habituated to a crate.

• A crate is part of your dog's normal routine at home.

• You have given written consent for your dog to be crated as per the above conditions.

Should you require for your dog to be crated during their stay with us we kindly ask that you provide a suitable crate that is:

• Clean & in good condition.

• Large enough for your dog to sit and stand at full height, lie flat, and turn around easily.

We are licenced & insured to provide transport for the dogs in our care.

Should you require a door to door pick up and collection service please get in touch with your requested location, time and date and we’ll get back to you with our pricing and availability.
