Boarding check-in & check-out

Drop-off and pick-up at 10am or 5pm

New dogs arriving is always exciting for our guests, and these windows keep the environment as calm as possible. Any drop-off or pick-up outside these times can be arranged by prior notice and incurs a £10 fee.

We charge per calendar day — you pay for the day of arrival and the day of departure, regardless of drop-off or pick-up time. See the boarding price list.

Arrival & departure procedure

  • Please keep all dogs on a lead and under control while on the premises, and when travelling between your vehicle and the office.
  • A member of staff will collect your dog at the office and take them to their kennel.
  • When collecting, please wait at the office until a member of staff brings your dog to you.

We accept no responsibility if you take your own dog to or from the kennels yourself.

What to bring

We're required by law to see and copy your dog's up-to-date vaccination certificate. Kennel cough vaccination isn't required (be guided by your vet), and we don't accept antibody testing in lieu of vaccination. You'll also complete a registration form covering health, behaviour and diet. Full details are on our Terms page.
