Visit before you book. The visit tells you more than any listing, including this one.

Cities not listed are ones where we have not yet found facilities publishing their own details. Absence means we found nothing, not that we think badly of anywhere.
What the labels actually mean
- Cage free sounds better and is not always better. It suits confident, social dogs and can be miserable for an anxious one who wants somewhere to retreat to. Ask what happens to a dog who does not want to join in.
- Home boarding means your dog stays in someone's house, usually with fewer animals. Better for dogs who find kennels stressful, and it depends entirely on that one household.
- Cameras are reassuring and easy to misread. A camera on the play area tells you nothing about the night.
- Vaccination requirements are a good sign. A facility that does not check is one that accepts dogs nobody else would.
The visit is the whole thing
- Go in person, in the daytime, without an appointment. What you are told on the phone and what you see are different things.
- Ask to see where the dogs actually sleep, not the reception. A facility comfortable showing you that is telling you something. One that finds a reason not to is also telling you something.
- Count the dogs and count the staff. The ratio is the single number that decides how your dog's day goes.
- Ask who is on site overnight. Plenty of places are staffed until 8pm and empty after that, which is not the same as boarding.
- Ask which vet they use and how quickly they can reach them. Then ring that vet and check the facility is actually a client.
- Ask what happens if your dog will not eat, which is the most common thing that goes wrong and the best test of whether they pay attention.
