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.

We provide dog daycare in both Reading and Farnborough.

With a large indoor and outdoor space, our doggy daycare centres are at the heart of everything we do. Providing a daily timetable of activities specifically designed to meet the needs of your dog, our faciliies have 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 Dog Grooming, Dog Training and our Dog Hotel. Our popular Puppy Socialisation Parties are held on Fridays.  

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!

"We are very happy with Alfie's groom, I don't expect he was that easy. In fact, I'm surprised you managed to get a photo of him on the table without being held down with more than a lead!! "

Sarah & Alfie

"Once we say shall we go to Rags & Bert's he does not leave my side! We know he is saying come on let us go! He is as excited to meet his humans there as he is to meet his friends! Once home he sleeps like a dog who has had the the Best Day Ever, every time. "

""Like many dogs, our Leonberger isn’t keen on going to the groomers! But in Sophie we have found someone who is very respectful and responsive to our big girl.

"Rags & Bert's is an amazingly friendly place where my dog loves to spend her days! Everyone really cares about the dogs and they put lots of work into making sure the dogs in their care are enriched and stimulated, while making sure they get rest."

Michelle Chismon and Auri

"Alfie came home feeling super soft and sweet smelling🥰 "

Lindsay & Alfie

"My beautiful miniature cockapoo had a groom with Sophie last Friday. Sophie was so patient with Suzi who really isn’t easy to groom as she is quite nervous having experienced other not so caring groomers in the past. She looked lovely & smelt beautiful when I collect her - thank you Sophie."
