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 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 dog owners, fosterers and adopters - 15 years of experience with daycare and boarding
📷 Regular photo updates
✅ Licensed by Hertsmere Council & fully insured
A SMALLER, MORE PERSONAL TYPE OF DOG CARE
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 SET UP
Dexter’s Dogs is intentionally small. We offer cosy, home-style care - our dogs become part of a familiar little group, with plenty of individual attention, walks, play and quiet time.
ABOUT US
We are both lifelong dog owners, and we have each fostered and rescued several times. For the past fifteen years, we have been privileged to take care of so many wonderful dogs.
Many of our 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 :)
Flexible care to Suit You and Your Dog
At Dexter's Dogs, flexibility comes as standard!
Whether you prefer regular, set daycare days each week or occasional ad hoc bookings, we do our best to fit around your schedule.
The advantage of being a regular?
Our regular daycare dogs are guaranteed priority access to boarding reservations.
That means our regulars can enjoy the added reassurance of knowing they'll have first priority when it's time for their own holidays.
Our ad-hoc, occasional guests are always welcome for boarding when space allows :)
PEACE OF MIND FOR YOU - GUARANTEED FUN FOR YOUR DOG
RIGHT BESIDE BEAUTIFUL PARKLAND
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.
