Dog walking, day care & boarding near Brighton, Hove, Henfield, and Burgess Hill

Set in the village of Fulking, in the peaceful West Sussex countryside, on the outskirts of Brighton and Hove, our home offers a calm, cosy, and caring environment for dogs to relax while you’re away. Whether it’s curling up by the fire, or pottering in the garden, or staying overnight, each guest is treated with love, routine, and attention. We are fully licensed with Mid Sussex District Council and keep numbers low to ensure every dog feels safe, seen, and settled - just like home.

About me

Tracey Warren

I am Tracey Warren. Dogs have been part of my life for over 20 years. One of the biggest challenges we faced was finding a home for our own dogs that truly felt right. We knew how hard it was to leave them behind - and how much our daughters missed them when we were away, eagerly waiting for updates.

That experience became the reason we set up our own dog boarding service: a place where every dog feels like part of the family.

Today, we share our home with Mali, our playful Shih Tzu, and Kali, our loyal Cavapoo. Both absolutely love having canine friends to visit.

To make stays as comfortable as possible, we are lucky to have a dedicated annex apartment for our dog guests, alongside a fully enclosed 1.5-acre garden - called The Paddock - where they can play, explore, and enjoy the fresh air.

I’m passionate about providing a safe, loving, and stimulating environment for every dog in my care.
