Doggy day care
*We are currently accepting new clients*
Dogs thrive in an environment where they can feel calm, confident, and settled.
While large, busy day cares and constant activity can seem like the best way to “tire a dog out,” too much stimulation often leads to dogs becoming over-aroused, reactive, and unable to switch off at home.
That’s why we created a small, boutique-style doggy day care where quality always comes before quantity.
We keep our groups small and carefully matched, creating a calm, structured environment where dogs can socialise safely, enjoy play, practise good manners, and just as importantly learn how to relax around other dogs.
Throughout the day we balance:
-
Physical exercise
-
Mental enrichment
-
Rest and downtime
-
Obedience and handler engagement
The result? Dogs who come home content, settled, and easier to live with, not overstimulated and wired.
For owners who want more than just a place to leave their dog, and for dogs who thrive in a calmer, more thoughtful setting, our doggy day care is the ideal choice.
Price
Full-day care: £35
Due to the limited number of spaces available, we strongly recommend booking day care in blocks of four weeks or more, especially during our busiest periods (summer, bank holidays, and Christmas).
Spaces are offered on a first-come, first-served basis, and we do not offer booking contracts.
Bookings can be secured with a 50%
non-refundable deposit, which is deducted from the total cost. The remaining balance must be paid no later than 48 hours before drop-off.
We do not guarantee availability on Saturdays and Sundays; however, if slots are available, the cost is £4 per hour. The number of hours can be agreed individually, depending on your needs.
Dog Requirements
➤ We welcome small to medium dogs up to 15kg (this also applies to puppies of larger breeds). Dogs expected to exceed this weight limit cannot be accommodated.
➤ All dogs must be fully vaccinated and up to date with boosters, including Distemper, Parvovirus, Hepatitis, Leptospirosis, and Kennel Cough.
➤ Puppies are welcome, provided house training and basic obedience have started.
➤ We cannot accept unsocialised dogs or dogs showing aggression toward people.
➤ Unneutered males are generally not accepted (except young puppies).
➤ Females do not need to be spayed, but we cannot accept females in season. Owners must monitor heat cycles carefully.
➤We don’t accept dogs with separation anxiety.

What Our Clients Say
"Stumbled across Ula & Maks by chance, and what a lucky find!. They’ve been absolutely wonderful with my puppy, Nova. From the moment I dropped him off, I knew he was in caring hands. Throughout the day, they sent me lovely updates and adorable pictures, which really put my mind at ease. Nova always comes home tail-wagging and full of joy clearly he’s had a great time! I couldn’t ask for better carers."
