What your dog gets on their Sunderland stay
A real home, not a kennel
Your dog stays in our home as one of the family — evening cuddles, sofa time and their usual routine kept just so.
Small numbers, proper attention
Up to 2 dogs per stay — 3 if from the same household — so every guest gets one-to-one care.
Countryside on the doorstep
Morning walks through local parks and fields, and afternoon play in the secure garden.
Photo updates every day
You'll get photos and messages throughout your dog's stay, so you never miss a wag.
Simple, honest prices
Overnight boarding
£30 per night
£40 per night on peak dates — school holidays and bank holiday weekends.
Day care
£25 per day
A fun-filled day of play, company and rest while you're out.
Peak dates include all school holidays and bank holiday weekends — if any part of your dog's stay falls on these dates, the peak rate applies to those nights.

5 stars on Rover
“I was very anxious dropping my precious old boy Bruce off for his trial sleepover but there was no need. Bruce strolled out totally chilled, like he'd just been to the Serenity Spa. Will now be booking a longer stay.”
Lorraine B. & Bruce · Boarding“Mani was excellent and looked after our dog really well. We had lots of updates and photos. We would definitely use her again and would strongly recommend.”
“We have used Mani twice now, she is excellent at keeping you updated with pictures even without us asking, she took Luna on lots of walks and Luna settled with her very quickly!”
