Booking requirements

To ensure the safety and wellbeing of all dogs in our care, the following requirements must be met before boarding:

  • Dogs must be fully vaccinated (Parvo, Distemper, Hepatitis, Lepto)
  • Dogs must be up to date with flea, tick, and worming treatments
  • Proof of all treatments must be provided before boarding
  • Owners must complete and sign the required forms provided  

 

Availability

As a small home-based business, spaces are limited and offered on a first come, first served basis. We are licenced to board up to five dogs at a time, and carefully match bookings based on factors such as size, temperament, energy levels, and neuter status to create a safe and suitable environment for every dog. We do accept unneutered dogs, depending on the other dogs booked in at the time.

We’re often booked 1–2 months in advance, especially during holidays, so early booking is recommended!

 

Our Booking Process...

1. Initial Enquiry 

Get in touch with us to request your dates. If available, we will ask you a few questions to ensure our home and services are the right fit.

2. Meet & Greet

We arrange an in-person meet & greet at our home where possible. This gives us the opportunity to get to know both you and your dog before booking.

3. Tester Night

Before longer stays, we require a tester night (charged at our standard rate) to help your dog settle in and make sure they feel comfortable in our home.

4. Booking Confirmation

Feedback will be provided after the tester night, and if we both feel it was a success, your booking will be confirmed and your dog’s stay secured.
