Home Boarding for Small Breeds
Under 12kg
We understand that finding the right dog care and leaving your dog can be a stressful experience. We want to reassure you that your dog will be taken care of and treated like our own - they become a part of our family.
Your dog will have many of their usual comforts they're used to at home, with the added benefit of company from Milo and other dog guests and making new friends.
Their day will be filled with fun enrichment activities, a range of toys to play with, at least 2 walks - we have beautiful Bickershaw Country Park right on our doorstep - and quiet time for plenty of cuddles and snoozes. At night, your dog can settle down in our living room or kitchen for some well earned rest.
To make sure that your dog is completely happy to stay with us, and to put your mind at ease, we will arrange trial sessions, including a sleepover, before we book in your main holiday. Some dog's will have no issues at all settling in and are happy to stay as soon as they meet us, however, some dog's will find it more difficult to settle in and adjust and may need additional trial sessions before they are comfortable in their new environment.

Home boarding is only available to dog's who are over 3 years of age (no longer in the playful puppy stage) due to our own dog being senior and less tolerable of bouncy puppies. Your dog must be calm, comfortable, well socialised around other dogs and settle well into a home environment. Dogs that bark excessively, scent mark indoors or are unable to be left alone are not suitable for home boarding.
We may make exceptions for dog's under 3 years old if they are toilet trained and are of a calm disposition.
Due to the processes involved, we are unable to accommodate short notice bookings for unregistered clients.
We have been issued a 5 Star Animal Activity Licence for Home Boarding & Day Care through Wigan Council which stipulates a maximum of 3 dogs (including our own dog) can be boarded at any one time.
Additional details about our Licence are available upon request.
