About Us
We provide your dog with boarding in our own home, a real home-from-home. Established since 2012, many of our guest return year after year. Indeed some are so familiar with us that they run up the drive to greet us.
All of our doggy guests settle in very quickly and benefit from being part of our family. There will be lots of cuddles, fuss and plenty of exercise. Check out our gallery to see some Happypooch’s enjoying their stay.
Of course we know each dog has their own special needs and we provide a questionnaire which will allow you to tell us all about your dog’s likes dislikes along with any special dietary needs.
We look forward to meeting you and your dog in the very near future.
