Your dog stays with us as part of our home — not in a kennel block. We keep the numbers small on purpose, so every dog gets eye contact, a walk, and a sofa spot if they want one.

MEET DALE & SCOTT

Two owners. One home. Your dog as one of ours.

We're Dale and Scott, and between us we run a small home-based dog day care and overnight boarding service in Holsworthy.

Your dog comes into our home, not a kennel block. That means walks on our time, proper beds, a sofa if they want one, and the two of us there to notice if anyone seems off. Small numbers, always — we limit bookings on purpose.

Before every first booking we ask you to come round for a free meet and greet. It's for your dog as much as for you — they get to see the place, meet us, and decide if they like us. We like meeting you too.

— Dale & Scott

Small numbers. Our home. Your dog, as one of ours.

We limit the number of dogs we take at once so no one gets overlooked. If you want a kennel operation, there are good ones in Holsworthy. If you want a home, this is that.

WHAT WE DO

Two services. Clear pricing. Plain terms.

Day care for busy days, boarding for nights away. Both in our home, both with small numbers, both with the two of us on hand.

DAILY CARE · £25 / DOG / DAY

Doggy Day Care

Drop your dog with us for the day — walks, company, garden time, sofa time, and the two of us keeping an eye. Perfect for busy workdays, or when you're out for a long day and don't want your dog home alone.

OVERNIGHT · £36 / DOG / NIGHT

Doggy Boarding

Going away? Your dog sleeps in our home, not a kennel run. They eat their food, follow their routine, get walked, get a bed, and settle because we're there. No separation from the family — they just join ours for a bit.

— the difference

Home-based. Not a kennel.

There are good kennels in Holsworthy. We just aren't one — because some dogs want a home, not a run.

A KENNEL

  • Concrete runs and kennel blocks
  • Scheduled exercise slots
  • 10 to 30+ dogs on-site
  • Kennel staff rotation

OUR HOME

  • Living room and garden
  • Walks on your dog's schedule
  • Small numbers, always
  • Dale and Scott, both of us

WHICH ONE?

  • Your dog loves busy groups and bustle → a kennel
  • Your dog wants one family, one routine → here
  • You want a sofa spot for your pup → here
  • You need 4+ dogs boarded at once → a kennel

Either way, your dog's in good hands in Holsworthy. This is just the home-shaped option.

— just launched

First bookings are open. Meet and greets are free.

We'd rather you bring your dog round, meet us, see where they'd stay, and decide if it fits — before we take a booking. The meet-and-greet is free, takes about half an hour, and there's no pressure either way. It's how we like to start every new friendship.

  • Message us on WhatsApp or the form

  • Come round for a 30-min meet & greet

  • Book the dates that suit you

Real reviews will arrive here as our first customers leave them — we'd rather start with honesty than anything pretend.

— what your dog needs

A few things we ask, before the first stay.

Up-to-date vaccinations

Including kennel cough — we'll chat about what counts at the meet-and-greet.

Sociable with people and dogs

We'll meet your dog first to make sure they're comfortable around us and any other guests.

Flea and worm treatment up to date

Standard home-boarding requirement — keeps every dog in our care safe.

Comfortable being handled

Happy on a lead for walks, fine to be picked up or stroked when needed.

Not sure about any of these? Bring them along to the meet-and-greet and we'll talk it through.
