Boarding
At Mutts Manor, we pride ourselves on being a fully licensed and vetted dog boarding provider, ensuring your pets are in the safest, most professional hands. Unlike traditional dog kennels, we specialize in a social, cage-free experience where your dogs are treated as part of our family. Because our guests are not kept in isolation, we require written consent for your dogs to mix and socialize with our other friendly residents. To maintain a healthy and secure environment for all, we strictly insist on up-to-date vaccinations and kindly ask that you provide digital or physical certificates for our records prior to arrival.
During the day, our four-legged guests enjoy full access to the house, with multiple luxury dog lounge areas and cosy corners perfect for napping between countryside adventures. For those who love the great outdoors, we have three acres of secure fields right on our doorstep, offering plenty of space for countryside adventures and energetic play. As evening falls, the "home-from-home" experience truly begins; your dogs are invited to relax with us in the main living area, curling up by the warm wood burner and enjoying some evening television. This level of constant companionship and domestic comfort ensures a stress-free stay, making us the premier choice for owners seeking a professional alternative to boarding kennels.
What you need to bring
To ensure your pet settles in seamlessly, we ask that you pack a few essentials for their stay at Mutts Manor. To maintain their regular routine and prevent any digestive upset, please provide your dog’s usual food for the duration of their visit, along with their favourite food and water bowls. We also require you to bring their lead or harness for our daily countryside walks.
We highly encourage you to bring your dog’s own bed and a favourite toy. To help ease any potential separation anxiety, we recommend that you do not wash their bedding immediately before their arrival; having that familiar "scent of home" provides an immense sense of security and comfort in a new environment. These personal belongings help create a dedicated safe space for your pup, ensuring they feel relaxed and confident from the very first night. By bringing a piece of home with them, you help us make their home-from-home boarding experience as cosy and stress-free as possible.
Vaccinations
To ensure the safety and well-being of all our guests, we require that every dog be fully vaccinated, including the kennel cough jab, and up to date on their flea and worming treatments. For the harmony of the pack, all dogs must also be spayed or neutered. Before your first booking, we invite you and your pup for a mandatory trial visit; this gives your dog a chance to meet our family and resident dogs, while allowing you the opportunity to tour our grounds and ensure we are the perfect fit for your needs.
