Perfect for dogs who love adventure but sleep best in their own home.
Tailored adventures and peace of mind
A typical day with us is a fun-filled experience of daycare, walks, beach adventures, and park explorations. We limit our groups to a maximum of three dogs, ensuring personalised attention and a calm environment. This service is particularly beneficial for anxious or stressed dogs, as they get to return to their familiar surroundings to sleep, reducing stress. We understand the importance of staying connected, which is why we send regular updates via text, including time and location-stamped videos and photos, so you can see your dog enjoying their luxurious day.
Who our luxury boarding is for
Our boarding service is perfect for dogs who thrive in company and are well-socialised. It is ideal for owners planning long or short breaks who want to ensure their beloved pet receives 100% luxury care and attention. We provide a premium service that goes beyond basic care, offering an enriching and enjoyable experience for your dog. For the safety and enjoyment of all our furry clients, dogs must be well-socialised and friendly with other dogs. A pre-assessment is required for each animal prior to booking to ensure they are a good fit for our small, exclusive group. This guarantees a safe and happy environment for everyone.

Pre-Assessment Information
Every dog deserves the right environment.
At Harbour Hounds, we keep our daycare groups intentionally small, with a maximum of three dogs at any one time. To ensure every dog enjoys a safe, happy and stress-free experience, all new dogs must complete a pre-assessment before joining our daycare or Full-Day Holiday Package.
What happens during the assessment?
We’ll take the time to get to know both you and your dog, including:
- Your dog’s personality and temperament
- Social skills around other dogs
- Recall and lead manners
- Energy levels and play style
- Daily routine and preferences
- Any medical conditions or medication
- Feeding requirements
- Any fears, anxieties or behavioural concerns
This helps us make sure your dog is matched with suitable companions and receives the personalised care they deserve.
Why do we carry out assessments?
Our assessment isn’t a test—it’s about making sure Harbour Hounds is the right fit for your dog.
By keeping our groups small and carefully matched, we can provide:
✔ A calmer environment
✔ Individual attention
✔ Safe socialisation
✔ Less stress and overstimulation
✔ More meaningful play and enrichment
✔ Peace of mind for owners
What we’ll ask you to provide
Before your dog’s first visit, we’ll ask for:
- Vaccination records (or proof of your accepted vaccination policy)
- Emergency contact details
- Veterinary details
- Microchip information
- Feeding instructions
- Medication requirements (if applicable)
- Consent for walks and transport
- Confirmation that your dog is flea and worm treated
Is every dog suitable?
We welcome friendly, well-socialised dogs that are comfortable around people and other dogs.
Unfortunately, we may not be able to accept dogs that:
- Display aggression towards people or other dogs
- Experience extreme separation anxiety that affects their welfare
- Are unwell or suffering from a contagious illness
- Are not comfortable in a small group environment
Our priority is always the safety and wellbeing of every dog in our care.
Our assessment is all about building trust. We want every dog to look forward to their Harbour Hounds adventure and every owner to leave knowing their dog is in safe, caring hands.
