Trial period

For dogs who are not regular pack members, we invite them to join us for a trial 24 hours. This allows us to ensure compatibility and provide a seamless transition into our loving environment. Please note that we only accept neutered dogs and cannot accommodate bitches in season.

Your Pet's Home Away From Home

At The Dogfather, we understand that your dog is a cherished member of your family. That's why we provide a warm and loving environment for your dog when you can't be there. Whether it's just for a night, a long weekend, or an extended stay of up to a month, our dedicated team is committed to treating your dog like one of our own.

Unlike traditional kennels, we believe in providing a true "home away from home" experience. Dogs sleep inside the house, not in kennels, and if they're accustomed to lounging on the sofa at home, they're more than welcome to do so with us. We treat each dog as an individual, catering to their unique needs and preferences/diet etc.

For our more senior canine friends, we offer a bespoke service that includes shorter, less strenuous walks and more quality time relaxing at home. Our caring team provides the extra attention and companionship that older dogs often appreciate.

House Sitting Services

If your dog is more comfortable in their own environment, or if you need someone to keep an eye on your home while you're away, we offer flexible house sitting services. This option ensures your dog's well-being while maintaining the security of your residence.

What Our Customers think

I cannot recommend the Dogfather enough for Daycare and boarding. We have a miniature dachshund called Stewie who regularly attends Daycare and absolutely loves it, he is always so well looked after and looks like he has the best time. We have also used the boarding service a few times now, most recently for a month over Christmas and it was fantastic! I’d give more stars if I could!

Nicola de Pear

Dom and the team have been fantastic with our dog. We've used their dog boarding, daily walks and daycare services and are always very happy! Any miscommunications are quickly resolved and the team are loving and caring. Thank you!

Tarika Edwards

As always a wonderful service from the Dogfather team. Our puppy Mabel had the pleasure of spending the weekend puppy boarding with the lovely Andrea. Kept us up to date with videos and photos:
