Home Boarding

Looking for trusted, licensed home dog boarding in Wisbech St Mary?

At Happy Hounds, I offer a genuine home-from-home dog boarding experience in the heart of the Cambridgeshire countryside.

I am fully licensed to provide home dog boarding in Cambridgeshire, offering a safe, loving alternative to kennels. This is not a large-scale boarding facility — it’s a relaxed countryside retreat where your dog becomes part of my family.

Small-Scale, Personalised Dog Boarding

I care for a maximum of two guest dogs at any one time, alongside my own Wirehaired Dachshund, Herbert. Keeping numbers small allows me to provide individual attention, consistent care, and a calm home environment.

Of course, all bookings are at Herbert’s discretion — it is his home, after all! He is a friendly, fun-loving boy, but compatibility is essential. He will be present at the meet and greet to ensure everyone is happy before confirming your stay.

Meet & Greet Required

Every stay begins with a meet and greet at our home near Wisbech St Mary. This allows me to:

Ensure your dog/s gets along with Herbert

Assess temperament and suitability for home boarding

Safely gauge their interest in my chickens

Yes, I do have chickens! They are securely enclosed, and your dog’s reaction to them will be carefully assessed to ensure a safe environment for all.

A True Home From Home Experience

Your dog will be treated like one of my own — loved, included and thoroughly spoilt.

Dogs are welcome on the furniture
I maintain your dog’s normal routine
Daily enrichment, play and companionship
Beach visits and woodland walks (weather permitting)

I'm passionate about countryside adventures, and your dog will be very much part of family life during their stay.

Flexible Drop-Off & Collection

I aim to offer flexible drop-off and collection times wherever possible. However, times may depend on other bookings. Extended hours may incur an additional charge.

Discounted Grooming for Longer Stays

Guests staying 7 days or longer are eligible for discounted grooming services.

Treat your dog to a full professional groom so they return home beautifully clean, refreshed, and pampered.

Boarding Fees 2026

£40 per night – per dog

Additional dog from the same household – £20 per night (per dog)

Meet and greets are free of charge, giving you the opportunity to visit, ask questions, and ensure we’re the right fit for your dog.

Overnight trial stays are charged at the standard boarding rate and are required for all stays longer than three nights. This helps ensure your dog is fully settled, comfortable, and happy in our home environment before a longer booking.

To maintain our high standards of care, attention, and supervision, I board a maximum of two guest dogs at any one time, ensuring every dog enjoys a calm, safe, home-from-home environment with plenty of individual care and affection.

Health & Safety Requirements

To keep all dogs safe, happy and healthy during their stay, I do have a few important requirements.

All dogs must:

Be fully vaccinated (in line with current UK veterinary guidance)
Be up to date with and parasite treatments
Be neutered/spayed (where age appropriate)
Be in good general health

I am unable to board entire males over maturity, bitches in season, or bitches due into season during their stay. My priority is always the safety, comfort and wellbeing of every dog in our home. 🐾
