We are both experienced with animals as we have always owned cats and dogs and have looked after friends’ dogs.

In May 2015 we sold our dog-friendly tearoom – a thriving business which we ran for 10 years.

We often had several dogs at a time in the tearoom including our own 2 year old Boston Terrier. But despite the fun and the lasting friends, we made we wish we had set up Mutts Maison earlier.

We provide a stimulating home for your dog whilst you are away. Our dog refuses to be left alone and so we will not leave your dogs alone either.

Puppies over the age of four months are also welcome.

We are aware of the huge responsibility of looking after your dog, therefore you can be confident that we are committed to its welfare, security and happiness.

We know how precious your dog is to you so we can provide you with regular updates and photos.

Your dog can sleep in his/her own room or with other dogs or if he/she is used to sleeping with somebody, we can accommodate that.

Our garden is enclosed with plenty of space to run and play.

We are three minutes from Branksome Dene chine and five minutes from Alum Chine. Alternatively we can go by car to other places of interest.

We endeavour to have 2 walks a day but we may ring the changes and have a day in the forest, which will be one long adventure walk.

If your dog is too young or too old and not up to a strenuous walk, Dad, who shares our passion for dogs and is particularly sensitive to the needs of older dogs will step in and go at their pace.

If your dog is boarding it will first need to stay for a day to ensure that you are happy with the service we provide. You will be charged the daily rate.
