Busy morning, quiet afternoon, tired dog

Every dog gets the same rhythm: play when they have energy, rest when they need it, and a cosy wind-down before they go home.

Good questions

Does my dog need a trial first?

Yes. Every dog starts with a free trial day, so they can settle in and we can see how they get along with the pack.

Which vaccinations do you require?

All dogs must be up to date with their C5 vaccination and flea and worm treatment, to keep the whole pack safe.

How big are the groups?

Small, so there’s plenty of love to go round. We only take small dogs, and we match them by temperament so everyone feels safe.

Can I check in on my dog during a stay?

You will get many photos and videos every day, and you can call us any time between 7:30am and 5pm.

What should I pack for boarding?

Their usual food in labelled portions, any medication, and a blanket that smells like home. We supply beds, bowls and leads.

My dog is shy. Will they cope?

Tell us when you book. Shy dogs start in a small group with extra carer time, and we move at their pace.
