Boarding dogs get group exercise through the day at no extra cost, with daycare on the same site [1]. For a sociable dog, this review finds the company the main draw.

Customer reviews are strong: the Google record stands at 4.8 from 123 reviews, the only public review source we hold [5]. The price list prints its council licence number with rates that include tax [2].
