Preferred by most dogs and owners. For all dogs including those that are scared of kennels or suffer from kennel stress symptoms.

Animals at Home franchises have local dog boarding and Doggy Day Care host families who will care for your dog in their home while you are away on holiday or business.

All of our families have Local Authority Dog Home Boarding Licenses as required by Law, with suitable houses, gardens, training, protocol and risk assessments; and importantly, are dog lovers themselves.
We take great care to select just the right people to look after your dog.

Before commencing the Dog Boarding or Doggy Day Care Services you will be invited to visit the host family before your pet's stay, so you can see the home your best friend will be staying in and meet the people who will look after him or her.

We match suitable hosts with the right size, breed and character that your dog requires.

Our families will only be looking after your dog, or dogs with similar needs (with both owner's consent), so they get all the care and attention they deserve.
