Rags and Bert's
Where Dogs Play and Stay

We understand that leaving your dog in the care of others can be a worry. At Rags & Bert's we pride ourselves in offering a warm, caring environment where you can safely leave your dog during the day to play in our doggy daycare or to stay with us at our luxury dog hotel. 

With a large indoor and outdoor space, our doggy daycare centre is at the heart of everything we do. Providing a daily timetable of activities specifically designed to meet the needs of your dog, our facility has been designed for dogs to have fun, for owners to have peace-of-mind, and to be the ultimate in convenience.

We know our customers lead busy lives so that's why we offer a range of services conveniently located on-site such as our new grooming pod, 1-to-1 training and our modern, luxury dog hotel. Our popular puppy socialisation parties are held on Fridays and we also offer group dogs walks in our secure field and in-home pet sitting for our regular customers.  

A key part of our business is recruiting staff who have the skills and qualifications to do the job, and a genuine love and passion for dogs. Meet our team here.

Get Started

We take the safety and happiness of all our dogs seriously, that's why we invite you and your dog to visit Rags & Bert's before they come to play and stay.

We'll show you around and then do a short Play & Stay assessment which will help identify if your dog will be happy in doggy daycare and our environment.

We believe you'll love the Rags & Bert's experience so much, you'll wonder why you never brought your dog sooner. But please don't just take our word for it, read some of our customer testimonials here.

We look forward to welcoming you to Rags & Bert's!

""Our Dachshund regularly uses the wonderful daycare at Rags; and the Grooming Pod at Rags is equally fantastic. The level of care and attention shown always keeps us going back. Sophie the Head Groomer always goes above and beyond. We can’t recommend the Grooming Pod at Rags & Bert's enough along with Rags’ amazing daycare. Thank you all so muc…"

"Excellent doggie hotel. From meeting the owner to placing my dog into their care, it's nothing short of excellent. Bailey gets doggy daycare as well as a overnight stay and the key thing is I know he is safe and having fun while I'm away on holiday.I have recommended them to my other friends with doggies...can't say I've done that with any other …"

"My dog loves it every time. She is a nervous dog around other people and they were amazing with her from the outset and she loves the staff. We have used the overnight stay a couple of times and has always been really easy to book in and very well priced."

Billy Liquorish and Pepper

"Want to say a huge thank you to looking after our girl, Raven, last week! Could tell how well she was looked after, such a great experience after previously having a poor experience at another kennel. We are so grateful for the care and attention from the team. She has been quite upset with us since coming home so I think she is missing being there…"
