Book With Us

➤ Founded on the belief that every dog deserves more than just a place to be left — they deserve attention, stimulation, and love.

➤ Every dog is known by name and cared for with genuine affection and a personal touch. Set in the countryside, offering dogs the freedom to:

  • Run safely

  • Play with friends

  • Enjoy real, one-on-one care

➤ Purpose-built facilities designed around happiness and safety:

  • Shaded woodland areas
  • Secure paddocks for exercise
  • Cosy indoor rest spaces

➤ Everything is tailored to meet a dog’s natural needs: movement, enrichment, and relaxation.

 

Our mission:

 

➤ Provide a safe, stimulating environment for dogs

➤ Give owners peace of mind while they're away

Book With Us

We know that life doesn’t always fit neatly into a 9–5. Many of our families are teachers, office professionals, or people who travel regularly for work. That’s why we’ve shaped our services around real schedules and real needs.

 

➤ For Teachers: Early starts and long days mean it’s hard to give your dog the stimulation they crave. With our flexible half-day and full-day options, you can drop them off knowing they’ll be busy playing, learning, and resting until you’re free.

➤ For Office Workers: If you’re commuting or working long hours, you don’t need to worry about your dog being home alone. We’ll keep them active, socialised, and cared for - so you return to a happy, calm pup at the end of the day.

➤ For Frequent Travellers: Whether you’re away for a meeting, on a day trip, or flying out for work, we provide reliable care that fits around your schedule. Our booking system makes it easy to secure a spot, even at short notice.
