01About Yak & Paw
A home away from home, filled with love & care.
At Yak & Paw, we are a family-owned dog boarding business dedicated to providing a safe, comfortable and loving home away from home for every dog in our care.
We believe every dog deserves more than just a place to stay. They deserve attention, companionship, comfort and genuine care while their family is away.
To maintain the highest standard of care, we intentionally welcome a limited number of dogs at a time. This allows us to give each guest the individual attention, supervision and affection they deserve, while creating a calm, secure and welcoming environment.
From playtime and daily activities to relaxing and settling in, we take the time to understand each dog's personality, routine and individual needs. Our goal is simple — to make every stay happy, safe and as comfortable as possible.
Because when you're away, they still deserve to feel at home.
Yak & Paw — Where your best friend is cared for like family.

04Before their stay
Book your stay now.
A few simple preparations help your pooch settle comfortably and allow us to give them the right care from the moment they arrive.
Comfort & medication
What we provide
At Yak & Paw, we provide comfortable, weather-protected accommodation suited to your dog. Every dog has different requirements, so tell us what keeps yours settled — and if your pet is on medication or a special diet, please let us know before their stay.
Please ensure all medications are clearly labelled with dosage instructions and supplied in daily dose containers.
Important: severely sick animals should be referred to a veterinary hospital rather than a boarding kennel.
Arrival
An early, calm welcome

05How we care
Every dog is different. We start there.
Every dog has a different personality, routine and needs, so we take the time to understand each dog individually.
01
Safety first
Your dog’s safety and wellbeing are our highest priorities, in everything we do.
02
Love & attention
We treat every dog with patience, kindness and genuine affection.
03
Exercise & play
We provide opportunities for dogs to stay active, stimulated and entertained.
04
Socialisation
Shared playtime with other suitable dogs where it suits them, always under supervision.
05
Rest & relaxation
Dogs need plenty of quiet time and sleep, so the day makes room for both.
06
Individual care
We work with each dog’s normal routine, feeding requirements and personality as much as possible.
Why families choose us
01
A home away from home
We want your dog to feel comfortable and relaxed, rather than simply being left somewhere unfamiliar.
02
Personalised attention
We get to know the dogs in our care and pay attention to their individual personalities and needs.
03
Safe & caring environment
We prioritise responsible supervision and a clean, secure environment.
04
Fun-filled days
From playtime to outdoor activities and cuddles, we aim to keep dogs happy and engaged.
05
Peace of mind for pet parents
While your dog is enjoying their day or holiday with us, you can relax knowing they are being cared for.
06During their stay
Every boarding day has a gentle rhythm.
Dogs settle when they know what comes next: play, rest, outdoor time and company, with a calm evening and comfortable night to follow.
Arrival
A calm welcome
Dogs come in, say hello and settle into the day at their own pace, in a space that feels familiar.
Morning
Play and company
Supervised playtime, toys and interactive games, with socialisation for the dogs who enjoy it.
Midday
Walks and outdoor time
Time outside for fresh air, exercise and a change of scenery, with fresh water always available.
Afternoon
Rest and quiet time
Dogs need sleep as much as play, so the afternoon makes room for a proper rest.
Evening
Dinner, cuddles and sleep
A calm evening routine followed by a comfortable night’s sleep in their own cosy, weather-protected space.
07Happy stays
Wagging tails, in the wild.
Playtime, outdoor adventures, naps in the sun and a lot of cuddles in between.

Our promise
Happy dogs. Peaceful minds. Stronger bonds.
