Boarding with us in Exeter

We live in a bungalow in Higher St Thomas, Exeter and have a big back garden which is fully fenced and gated, totally secure - and there are lots of great smells for our visitors to enjoy. They are welcome anywhere in our house and garden. Ours is a meticulously clean, non-smoking environment.

Our guests are taken for at least two good walks ) each day, and they have access to our garden at all times. We occasionally drive a short distance (no longer than 10 minutes) but only if this meets with the owner’s consent - we know that some dogs aren't comfortable in cars. 

We only board one dog at a time, this premium service offering your dog full attention, care, and affection – something our regulars truly value.

We feed our guests and provide them with treats strictly in accordance with instructions from their owners. Fresh water is of course available at all times.

We require owners to provide their own dog food and treats – this is not a commercial consideration, it is for the benefit of the dog - experience has shown us that a consistent diet is very important, particularly when settling into a new environment. We also ask owners to bring their dog’s bed(s) and favourite toys - as this helps them to settle in even quicker. 

We offer a complimentary Meet and Greet so you and your dog can get to know us and our dog, Tammy, in a relaxed setting.  It helps us learn about your dog's personality, routine and needs and to ensure that we are a good fit. If it goes well, we'll invite your dog for a trial overnight visit before confirming longer bookings.  This allows us to be sure that your dog will settle in and be comfortable in our home. The trial overnight stay is charged at our standard boarding rate. This two-step process helps us provide the safest and most enjoyable experience for every dog in our care.

We ask you to fill in a form, providing contact details, an emergency local contact, the name and contact details of your vet and so on.

We send regular updates and pictures of our guests to their owners, to give them peace of mind that their friend has settled in well and is secure and happy.

We are insured against accidents and injuries to guest dogs, together with Public Liability cover. A copy of the policy is available on request.
