Home From Home Boarding
Home boarding is charged per 24 hours, 8am - 8am. The last day of boarding is charged at daycare prices for a full day or half day. Plus a walk if one is added on. There is no charge for the final day of boarding if your dog is collected (or dropped home by us - charge applies for drop off) by 10am.
Home from home boarding pick up/drop off by us
We can collect your dog from within a 5 mile radius of Exmouth.
We pick up between 8am-9am and drop off between 6pm-7pm.
If your dog is booked for boarding until 1pm we will drop them home after 1pm. If they are in booked from 1pm we will pick them up before 1pm.
Home from home boarding pick up/drop off by you
Please drop your dog to us for their first home boarding at 8am so that they have time to settle in before a walk and before going to the house they will be sleeping at. If your dog is used to staying with us a 1pm drop off can be booked but wherever possible please stick with the 8am time for the same reasons as above. We find this very much limits any stress for the dogs.
We offer a home from home dog boarding experience.
Your dog will spend their days playing and relaxing in our daycare centre and going for walks with their friends, and their evenings and nights in our home being treated as part of our family.
Is my dog suitable for home boarding?
If your dog enjoys home comforts and gets on with other dogs and people, then yes, absolutely!
All new clients must have a (paid for) one night trial board before staying for longer than three nights to make sure they are happy and comfortable in our care.
Home boarding is best for dogs who are friendly, well socialised and enjoy living as part of a family.
We board dogs that are:
- House trained.
- Up to date with vaccinations (kennel cough vaccine recommended).
- Up to date with flea and worming treatment.
- Friendly and sociable with people and other dogs.
We are happy to take uncastrated males, providing they do not exhibit excessive marking or humping and do not display any aggressive tendencies.
We regrettably cannot take females in season.
We provide all bedding, bowls and toys.
Please do not bring your own as we do not want them to get damaged.
All you need to bring is your dogs food and any medication.
If you feel your dog may need it you can bring a small blanket that smells of home.
We require dogs to be dropped off to us preferably at 8am or by 1pm at the latest. Unless a prior arrangement has been made. We do off a pick up and drop off service within a certain radius.
Stevie & Chris' House
Dog boarding is more enjoyable in a home from home environment compared with traditional boarding kennels. Everyone needs a holiday every now and then and your dogs deserve one too.
Our service means you don't need to worry about your dog being home-sick while you are away as they will be in ours. Plus they get to spend the day in our daycare with their friends and enjoy lovely walks on Woodbury Common too.
Each home has a dedicated dog room where they will sleep but they spend their evening with us – dogs are social animals and enjoy love and attention which they will get while with us just as our own dogs do. We have had many dogs coming back to stay with us for years, returning again and again to a friendly face they know and love.
We are limited on how many dogs we can look after by our license but we wouldn't have it any other way as it means we are able to give all the dogs in our care the love and attention they want, need and deserve.
This does however mean we fill up very quickly, especially during school holidays, so book early to avoid disapointment.
While you are away you can feel free to text, call or email us anytime for an update of your furry friend. Alternatively we post pictures on our facebook and instagram (providing you have given us permission to do so).
