7:30 am — Arrival

The first ten minutes

She knows the sound of
the gravel before the gate opens.

Every dog arrives into a two-stage airlock paddock — no direct contact until we've read the brief, checked the notes, and done a proper nose-to-nose with whoever's here already. Anxious arrivals get a quiet corner and a member of staff sitting on the floor with them until they decide to move.

We write every dog's name on the whiteboard with their dietary notes, medication times, and any quirks from the owner's intake form. The board gets updated throughout the day. Nothing gets forgotten.

Today's Board — Sample

Biscuit (Cocker Spaniel) — grain-free only, anxious on arrival, loves the blue ball

Margo (Greyhound rescue) — slow intro, no rough play before 10am

Ted (Border Collie) — 2× Metacam at noon, high energy, needs the long field

Double-gated entry
Named intake forms
Medication tracked

Rest Hour

Noon to 1pm is mandatory rest. Dogs return to their individual sun-warmed cabins with a frozen Kong. No exceptions — even the ones who pretend they don't need it.

Safety without the clipboard

Watched over, not cooped up.

We're not a cage-and-check operation. Every safety system here exists so dogs can have more freedom, not less. The double gate means the paddock door can stay open. The 1:4 ratio means someone always has eyes on the splash pool. The cameras mean you can sleep without wondering.

⬛

Double-gated entry

Every dog enters through a two-stage airlock. Both gates cannot be open simultaneously.

👁️

1:4 supervision ratio

Maximum four dogs per member of staff during all outdoor sessions. Non-negotiable.

📷

Overnight camera feed

Indoor cameras in every cabin. Accessible to owners via the Kennel app. We check every two hours.

Every dose administered is photographed, timestamped, and added to the dog's daily report.

6 pm — Evening Update

You'll know before you ask

A photo lands on your phone
before you've landed at Heathrow.

Every dog gets a daily photo update at 6pm. Not a template message — an actual photo of your dog, that day, with a note from whoever spent the most time with them. If they had a funny moment, you'll hear about it.

What owners say

The dogs can't write reviews.
Their owners can.

Extended Stay

“We booked Kennel for a fortnight while we flew to Nairobi. Margo — our rescue greyhound who panics in any new space — sent us her first proper run photo on day two. We cried at the departure gate.”

“I work from home and Teddy was destroying my concentration and my sofa. Three days a week at Kennel and he comes back absolutely spent by 5pm. He sleeps through my evening calls now.”

Overnight Boarding

“I had a hip replacement in October. I couldn't walk Biscuit for six weeks. The team kept me updated every single day — photos, notes, even a video of her swimming. She came back calmer than when she left.”

“We tried two other places. One smelled of bleach, one had a dog barking in every photo. Kennel smells like grass. That was enough for us.”
