Ask the regulars

  • Sergeant, a day care regular at Leafields
    Leafields is a 5 star luxury resort, for dogs. My dog arrives looking like he is checking into a spa retreat and comes home acting like he has just returned from the Maldives.

  • Flynn, a working dog who comes to Leafields day care
    From a working dog point of view, I want my dog active but also mentally stimulated during the day. He always comes home completely shattered, which proves Milly and the team are doing a great job.

    John and Flynn

  • Frankie, who started at Leafields as a timid puppy
    Our puppy started here at just 14 weeks and was very timid. The team have been absolutely amazing with her. She has totally come out of her shell and is so excited every time she comes.

  • Leaving your dog with someone new is nerve wracking. From the first visit it was obvious the dogs here are loved like family. Ours pulls on the lead to get through the gate.

  • Photos and updates through the day put your mind at rest. You can see your dog playing, resting and being properly looked after, not shut in a kennel.

  • Trusting someone with your best friend is a big deal. The team know every dog by name, and ours comes home happy, tired and calm every single time.

Three steps, and no dog joins without meeting us first

  1. 1

    Come and see us

    A familiarisation visit by appointment. You see the grounds, meet the team, and we meet your dog.

  2. 2

    A trial day

    At the normal day rate, so we can see how your dog gets on with the group before anyone commits.

  3. 3

    Book online, whenever

    Members book and manage their own days, day or night, through their own account.

We are growing, and we are hiring

If you are an experienced dog handler who would rather be outdoors with a small team than behind a desk, we would like to hear from you.
