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!

"Thank you so much for the pupdate! Milo loves it there and it makes us happy to see these pics. "

Loraine & Milo

"I have been using Doggy Daycare since my dog was three months old and he absolutely loves it! I think it has been so important to socialise him with other dogs from a young age and all of the staff at Rags & Bert’s are very helpful and friendly. He also stays overnight in the dog hotel on occasions which has been really useful. "

Alexandra Harris and Vincent

"Rags & Bert's have been incredibly patient, understanding and supportive of our very nervous rescue dog. They worked at our pace as well as guided us and now our dog loves daycare."

Sharna Swaine and Rafa

"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

"Thank you for all you do for Lexi and us! Lexi loves her time with you all and the dog bus is amazing and so helpful! "

Claire & Lexi

"Thank you for having Suzi over Christmas and New Year, we missed her so much! But the postcards & Instagram kept us up to date so thank you very much to all the staff that looked after her. She looked to be having a great time. She was also beautifully groomed when we collected her on our return from our holiday. Thank you, Sophie. "
