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!
