Welcome to Scruffs Home Boarding & Day Care — a bespoke, luxury home-from-home dog boarding and professional dog day care service for owners who want exceptional care, comfort, and attention for their dogs. We specialise in a calm, safe, fully licensed environment where your dog receives high-quality care, personalised routines, and all the love they would enjoy at home.
Scruffs offers a refined, relaxed alternative to traditional dog kennels. Set within a warm, peaceful family home, our dog home boarding service is intentionally designed around quality over quantity.
We welcome only a small number of dogs at any one time. This ensures:
Individual attention
Low-stress, predictable routines
A safe environment for social, calm, well-matched dogs
A truly personalised experience based on each dog’s needs
For nervous or first-time boarders, our gentle, attentive approach helps them settle quickly and feel secure. For confident, sociable dogs, Scruffs provides a fun, enriching environment with plenty of affection and structure.
Every dog has their own personality, preferences, and routine — and we build their experience around that. Whether your dog joins us for dog day care or overnight home boarding, each day is carefully balanced with:
Structured walks suited to age, fitness and temperament
Enrichment activities such as puzzles, scent games, and play
Rest and relaxation time in a calm environment
One-to-one affection and companionship
Positive reinforcement and gentle handling at all times
We work with dogs of all breeds, ages, and temperaments. From playful puppies to senior companions, anxious rescues to confident adventurers — every dog is supported, understood, and cared for with patience and kindness.
Scruffs is a fully licensed and insured dog home boarding provider, giving owners complete peace of mind. Our extensive hands-on experience means we understand dog behaviour, body language, group dynamics, and the emotional needs of every dog in our care.
We closely monitor:
Feeding routines
Sleep patterns
Social interactions
Behaviour changes
Stress signals and comfort levels
This allows us to create a safe, positive environment where dogs feel settled and secure — whether they are staying for a single day or several nights.
Our home is designed with dogs in mind. Unlike busy kennels or commercial facilities, Scruffs provides a peaceful, comfortable setting where dogs can rest, play, and bond with a consistent caregiver. This reduces stress, encourages stable routines, and ensures each dog receives uninterrupted care and supervision.
We believe dogs thrive when they feel part of a family — and that’s exactly what we provide.

Whether you need reliable day care while you’re at work or trusted home boarding while you’re away, your dog will always be treated like part of the family.
