Dog Boarding
No. We do not mix dogs with unfamiliar dogs. Dogs from the same family may stay or exercise together if requested by the owner, but we do not group dogs with dogs they do not already know.
Dogs staying with us are walked twice a day. We aim to keep their stay calm, settled and consistent.
We ask for important details such as breed, age, health conditions, behaviour notes, feeding requirements, medication, vaccination dates and the dates you need boarding.
Vaccinations & Health
Yes. We require proof of relevant vaccinations before your pet stays with us. For dogs, this includes kennel cough vaccination. Please bring or send vaccination details before arrival.
Please let us know about any medication, health conditions or special care requirements when you enquire. We’ll review the details and let you know if we can safely care for your pet.
Drop-off & Collection
Yes. All drop-offs, collections and visits are by appointment only so we can keep the animals settled and make sure someone is available to meet you.
Monday to Friday: 8:00am – 6:00pm
Saturday & Sunday: 8:00am – 12:00pm
All drop-offs, collections and visits are by appointment only.
