We are currently full for boarding only customers but do have some availability for doggy daycare, which includes boarding options for your next holiday.

Why us?

We're five star!!

We’ve been awarded a Five Star, Higher Standard rating by Buckinghamshire Council. This means that our facilities and our procedures meet the highest standards laid down by the Government in the new, exacting regulations that were introduced in 2018. If you need further proof that we are a cut above your average doggy daycare, check out our reviews!

Our team

Our staff are highly experienced and undergo continuous training. We all own dogs and are passionate about providing a fun, safe and varied experience for all our visitors. Our team will all get to know your dog and will do their best to communicate effectively with you – sending regular updates and photos and recording all the necessary information to ensure each dog’s day is well planned and fun packed.

We select only well socialised dogs

We don’t accept all breeds and we only take dogs that are well socialised. For us, it’s not about driving up the numbers – we are only interested in providing a harmonious and pleasant environment for all our visitors. So we will ask you to come for a visit with your dog so we can show you what we do and what facilities we offer and then, if there is a good fit, we will invite your dog for a trial day, which is a normal chargeable daycare day at which we can assess how your dog will fit in with our existing groups.

We will tell you how we assess newcomers and we will give you feedback about your dog. Most dogs need a few sessions to settle in, so we don’t make snap judgements and we are always willing to give every dog a decent chance to get used to the set up. If we feel it’s not a good fit then we will be upfront with you and may not be able to offer any further sessions. This policy enables us to make sure that all the dogs who come have a great time when they are with us.

Amazing Facilities

We genuinely believe our facilities are second to none. With 15 acres of onsite woodland and fields, we never take dogs offsite. We have three dog proof fields, agility equipment and beautiful walks through the woods where dogs can spend time sniffing and following interesting scents left by the wildlife.

Our dog rooms are heated, with comfortable beds and various options for dogs to either socialise (in a calm way) or enjoy some downtime in their own space.

Flexible hours

We offer early drop offs from 7am and collection as late as 6:30pm (6pm on Fridays) to accommodate your hectic schedule. We do not offer a drop off service – these often entail multiple dogs being driven around for 1-2 hours in a noisy environment.

Fully Insured

As you’d expect we are fully insured, so you have peace of mind!

Care like at home

We pride ourselves on providing a home-from-home environment. We put huge effort into ensuring that all the dogs that come to us have a pleasurable and rewarding stay. We have lots of experience onboarding nervous dogs, most of whom will transform within a short space of time and drag their owners through the front gates in their eagerness to join the fun. It’s so rewarding for us to witness these transformations
