Home Boarding

Do you have plans to go away and need someone to take care of your dog?  Would you like the comfort of knowing your dog will be taken care of in a home from home environment? 

We offer a home boarding service where your dog becomes part of our family for the time you are away.  We have a five star home boarding license issued by East Herts Council (Ref  18/2121/AHB),  are fully insured and hold a current pet first aid certificate. All dogs are welcomed into our home and treated as our own as we do not offer kennels. 

At home we are a family of 3 , Mel, Stuart and our little girl Florence.  We also have an old standard poodle named Jasper and 2 small rescue cross breeds, Luna and Freddy.  Dogs staying have to be well socialised and happy to live and exercise with other dogs.  Mel is a dog groomer and works mostly from home.  Mel’s family background is boarding kennels and she has a wealth of knowledge of all things dog.   

All dogs are required to have recent and valid vaccinations, worming and flea treatments and we take a copy of their vaccination record before accepting a booking.  Unfortunately, we rarely accept un-neutered dogs and puppies under six months old but feel free to call and we can discuss individually.  We keep our guests on the same diet they have at home and therefore it needs to be supplied by owners.

Prior to any stay we will meet up on mutual ground near our home to have a chat and ensure all dogs get along.  If this is successful and you like what we offer, we would then arrange an overnight trial to ensure your dog will happily settle overnight. 

The cost is £40 per night per dog until 11am on departure day.  If day care is required on the last day there is a fee of £30. 

Drop off and pick up is between 8.30 and 7pm.  Full terms and conditions can be found on the website.

Unfortunately, our home boarding license is limited to 5 dogs and we are unable to offer discounts for multiple dogs. School holidays fill up very quickly so book in early to avoid disappointment. In order to reserve your place we ask for a 20% non-refundable date holding fee.  This is deducted from your final invoice which is due a week prior to boarding.

 If you have any questions at all and would like to come and meet us then please feel free to give us a call. The form below is to be filled out once we have confirmed a stay.
