Doggy Day Care

We are delighted to offer a doggy day care service alongside our normal boarding routine.

This is on a first come first serve basis and availability is subject to there being space in our kennel block. This means you can leave your dog with us for the day knowing they are safe and secure in a private kennel with connecting outdoor run whilst also enjoying group play time in one of our three secure dog runs or going on lead walks around one of the many fields here on the farm.

Your dog will enjoy plenty of enrichment throughout the day, inside and out and have downtime in a heated private indoor space with a bed and constant supply of treats (where permitted) and fresh water. The adjoining outside runs are protected with transparent roofing for protection from the rain and shade sails for protection from the sun during hot periods.

We provide everything your dog would need for their day here including a bed, bedding, bowls, toys and food. However, we are more than happy for you to bring as much or as little as you need to make your pets stay more comfortable.

We are more than happy to feed lunch or other meals when requested and please feel free to contact us directly with any other requirements.

You are welcome to drop your dog off for day care any time after 8am and collection is before 5.30pm.

You are welcome to visit the kennels for a viewing prior to booking, this is by appointment only between 1.30pm – 3pm.

The first time you bring your dog to us for day care, you will be asked to fill out a registration form providing a full profile of your pet and your contact details.

Doggy Day Care Reviews

Barbara Rogers

I have had a long association with Oak Ride kennels and can’t praise them enough. My present dog, a Flatcoated retriever, loves going there, whether it is just for a day of socialising and playing with other dogs, or a longer stay when I go on holiday. He goes in every time, tail wagging and comes back the same. All the staff are brilliant and truly love animals. It is such a relief to have somewhere to leave him knowing that he will be happy and well looked after.

The day stay has also been a godsend if I have to leave him or need to keep him out of the way for any reason. I can leave him to play at the kennels instead of him having to be shut indoors for hours. I highly recommend Oak Ride farm as a lovely place to leave your dog.

Vicky Rimmer

We have used Oak Ride for at least 12 years. They really love our dog(s) and the dog is happy on arrival and departure. The kennels are spacious with big runs. I would not hesitate to recommend them.

Paul Smith

Oak Ride Kennels have been brilliant with Tonka. They took him at very short notice and at a difficult time for both of them, because it was peak time, and for us. He clearly enjoyed his time with them as is evidenced by the enthusiasm with which he has greeted staff and gone to them on subsequent occasions,

Gordon MacLean

I have been using Oakride for my dog Nell for several years and have always been very pleased with the level of care and attention she receives each and every time. She is always more than happy to jump out of the car when I drop her off and each staff member greets her with genuine enthusiasm and affection - which, being a springer spaniel she returns in full measure!

Lewis Jack

Fantastic staff who love the animals so much. Feel confident leaving my dogs with them.

Pippa Cheung

Cally Ingram

We are so happy to have found a kennels that Arthur is happy to stay at, he's a delicate chap so finding the right place has been so hard but Oak Ride is amazing and just to put icing on his stay he can now go paddling in the Spa total pointer heaven.

Just wanted to thank you for looking after Bonnie while we took the children to Legoland. Great service and price.

Fam Peters

We have been using this kennel for our two dogs for the last five years and we are very happy with it. The Staff are very friendly and helpful and very good with the dogs. My dogs are always happy if I bring them, which for me is a sign that they are treated well.
