The boarding experience

Individual care that helps every dog settle in

Every dog adjusts to new surroundings differently. Our team takes the time to understand your dog's temperament, introduce them gradually and help them feel comfortable in their new environment.

A space of their own

Every dog has an individual kennel, giving them a comfortable place to rest without sharing their sleeping space with other dogs.

Room for activity

Our dedicated dog run, socialisation park and swimming pool offer opportunities for exercise, play and interaction, with swimming and dog-run sessions arranged separately.

Time to feel at home

We recommend a daycare visit before your dog's first overnight stay, giving them a chance to explore the facility and get to know our team while you're nearby.

Optional activities

Health and safety

Your dog's wellbeing comes first

Health requirements

Dogs must be at least six months old, as younger puppies are still developing the immunity needed for a shared boarding environment.

Kennel cough vaccination is required at least 3–5 days prior to boarding to allow time for immunity to develop. Every dog also undergoes a tick check on arrival to help maintain a safe and healthy environment for all dogs in our care.

A thoughtful first visit

We recommend bringing your dog for a daycare session before their first overnight boarding stay.

It's a chance for them to explore their new surroundings, meet our team and become familiar with the environment before spending the night.
