What an amazing place! My dog Blue was so happy there! His first experience at a ‘resort’ and when I picked him up he was happy and healthy. The enrichment programs meant I could see him on Facebook while I… was away and gave me great joy. The team there worked hard to find Blue a suitable friend and integrated him safely and easily with other dogs. He’s happily home and soaking up the family love … booked in for a return stay in August. Thank you to the team for all you did to ensure my Blue was a happy camper.❤️❤️❤️

Buster and Pickles came home happy and relaxed after 4 nights at the Dog House. The enrichment program was a blast and I really appreciated the photos of them running and socialising. Thanks Dog House, we'll be back!

Billy Absolutely loves coming to daycare once a week. He runs in smiling and I can see how much he adores all the wonderful employees. I have no hesitation in recommending the Dog House Pet Resort for daycare… or boarding. Love seeing all the photos and particularly when the dogs get to celebrate their birthdays and you make it very special for them 🐶❤️

Our dog loves visiting the Dog House, she gets so excited when we arrive and bolts off to play without a second glance. The team are so lovely. They clearly adore the dogs they care for and work to understand their individual personalities and preferences.

Highly recommend The Dog House Pet Resort. The care of the dogs is exceptional as is the customer service. It makes leaving your dog a lot easier when you know they are in such good hands.

Won’t be bringing my poodles here anytime soon! They didn’t have much time to Go outside so my poodle wasn’t sleeping much especially with another big dog in its cage! My poodles were very clean before I took them, but after I picked them up they smelt like burnt grass and cheese. Not happy

Our staffies had a great time in their daily enrichment sessions. Seeing the photos of their big smiles on Facebook made our holiday so much more enjoyable. Dolly and Tex were very healthy and happy when we arrived to pick them up.

We are long term clients - our recent booking was incorrect and was picked up whilst overseas - on return from our holiday we presented a copy of our booking with acknowledgement and booking confirmation stating both dogs booked into the enrichment program. This was met with an argumentive staff member - refusing to acknowledge the mistake and proceeding to slam doors and huff off. Our dogs were handed over to us when we paid by two other staff members. We did not receive any feedback re the dogs stay. Unfortunately my dog was sick and has required several visits to the vet. A letter has been sent

Can't fault The Dog House at all. The lovely staff took me on a tour around the facility before booking and I was impressed that the yards for every dog are real grass. The enclosures were spacious and clean and I can tell my two dogs had an absolute ball with the photos I saw on the Facebook page. The attention and care my dogs get is priceless. 100% going to use them every time I need to.
