BOUTIQUE DOG HOTEL & DAYCARE
Boarding, daycare, and the kind of attention that gets your dog’s name right on day one.
Boarding usually sells you a building. We sell you a day that runs the same way every time, handled by people your dog already knows. The room is nice too, but the room is not the point.
Groups of four
Matched on energy and play style, never on size. A carer is on the floor the whole time.
The same two carers
All week, not a rota. By the second night nobody is pacing at three in the morning.
Ninety minutes out
Twice a day, off site, on real ground. No amount of interior design replaces the walk.
One honest message
Every evening at six. What they ate, how far they walked, and the bad bits too.
One floor of the old glassworks on Bell Street. Twelve rooms, all with daylight and a door that closes, opening onto an enclosed garden that is shaded all summer. No runs, no concrete, no corridor of barking.
Groups of four
Matched by temperament, with a carer always present.

Questions, answered
The six we get every week
If yours is not here, write to us and a person will answer it properly.
Their own food, measured per meal, and one thing that smells of home. Beds, bowls and blankets are here already. If they use a particular harness or lead, send that too so walks feel familiar.
