We all want the same thing for our dogs when we can't be with them - a safe pair of hands to care for them.
That's what we offer at our friendly and highly experienced daycare and boarding service in Borehamwood.
Here are a few of the things that set us apart:
🐾 Small, carefully matched daycare group
👀 Dogs are never left alone
🌳 Beautiful parkland right at our door - no need for your dog to travel
❤️ Highly personalised care from two experienced fosterers and adopters
📷 Regular photo updates during the day
✅ Licensed by Hertsmere Council & fully insured
A SMALLER, MORE PERSONAL TYPE OF DOG DAYCARE
We deliberately keep our daycare small so every dog receives plenty of individual attention and becomes part of a familiar, settled group.
THE OPPOSITE TO A LARGE COMMERCIAL DAYCARE
Dexter’s Dogs is intentionally small. We offer cosy, home-style dog daycare - NOT a large field-based / kennel-style environment.
Our dogs become part of a familiar little group, with plenty of individual attention, walks, play and quiet time.
ONE POINT OF CONTACT
At Dexter’s Dogs, you will always deal directly with me, Tabatha.
From your first enquiry and meet-and-greet through to regular daycare, boarding arrangements and daily updates, I remain your point of contact throughout.
There are no changing staff, rotating handlers or different people managing your dog from week to week. This continuity means I get to know each dog really well.
For dogs, familiar people and routines can make a huge difference. For owners, it means clear communication, consistency and the reassurance of knowing exactly who is caring for your dog.
PEACE OF MIND FOR YOU - GUARANTEED FUN FOR YOUR DOG
We are tucked away in a quiet cul- de-sac, and three steps from our front door are wonderful rolling fields and woods. It's a real paradise for pooches!
We offer all the comforts of home, with large squashy sofas and luxurious pet beds, plus a secure and private garden.
And as there are two of us, our guest dogs are never left alone.
We are both lifelong dog owners, and we have each fostered and rescued several times.
Over the past fifteen years, we have been privileged to care for many different types and breeds.
Most of our daycare regulars started coming here as young puppies and we have watched them mature into wonderful adult dogs.
Seeing the friendships that develop between them is a real joy to behold.
Any new members of the group are carefully vetted to ensure that only soft-natured, sociable dogs become part of the gang :)
We take the responsibility of looking after people's precious dogs very seriously.
