As a home based business. I would like to invite you and your pet to come for a visit have a look/sniff around. If you are thinking of boarding your best friend for a few days , then a visit will put your mind at ease as you see the way we operate day to day- Viewing strictly by appointment as we don't want to upset our residents .
As a pet owner myself , i know how hard it is to leave your pets and go away - but you can be assured that they will have all the attention, love and play they would have in their own home. Really we aim to be as close to a home away from home as we possibly can.
We want your fur babies to return to you happy, relaxed and wanting to come back again for another visit .
Our kennel is a purpose built dog house not noisy rattily cages.
For Grooming a visit may help with puppies about to be groomed for the first time or indeed slightly nervous older dogs.
