About Us

and the team

We operate a small and exclusive kennels and cattery that is family-owned by Lesley, Kerri, and Lee. At our establishment, we pride ourselves on offering individualized one-on-one care to each of our guests, ensuring they receive the love and attention that they truly deserve during their stay with us.

At our facility, we provide attentive care to all dogs and cats, treating them as our own. Regular exercise is a priority, ensuring they are taken out at least four times a day for 20 minutes each session. If your pet is sociable, playtimes can extend if they get along with other animal guests. We keep you updated on their well-being by sharing daily photos online. Feel free to call us if you have any concerns about leaving your beloved pets with us. Our goal is to offer superior care and create enjoyable experiences for all our furry guests.
