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!

Don't just take our word for it

"We have a rather nervous dog who gets scared around new people and new dogs. We signed him up for Confidence Building with Tom who was incredible. He went for his first session of daycare recently and absolutely loved it. The staff were friendly and caring, listened to my concerns and reassured me when I needed it."

Rebecca Snell and Winston

""While injured they cared for my dog brilliantly. My vet mentioned how great they were during the visits. He always looks forward to staying with Rags & Bert's. Would highly recommend.""

Riho

"“Thanks so much for the lovely photos! He looks so relaxed (which is a bonus!) We were really pleased with how smart and sweet-smelling he was when we got him back, and he wasn't traumatised at all by his very first grooming session! We'll definitely be bringing him back.”"

Simon & Hugo

""Bailey Bean my show cocker is a very big supporter of Sophie. At the end of his dog hotel stay at the wonderful Rags & Berts he has the full works with Sophie. Patient ,calm and cuts his hair beautifully Bailey bean is well pampered by Sophie.... one of the best in the business I'd say.""

Angela & Bailey Bean

"Our dog loves his weekly visit so much that we also use the boarding option when we’re away. He is well looked after, comes home happy, healthy and exhausted! The staff are fantastic and always give us a little pupdate and pictures. Milo has come on leaps and bounds since attending. Thoroughly recommend their services."

Loz

"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…"
