Dog Boarding
Our dog boarding facilities focus on comfort, space and safety. We cater for no more than 20 dogs at any one time. When you leave your dogs with us you’ll be treating them to a holiday of their own. We pamper our dogs and most of our rooms have couches or beds to make their stay fun and comfortable. A great deal of thought and research went into the design of our boarding and exercise areas to create a safe, happy and healthy environment.
Safety and supervision comes first. Small group sizes, supervision and every dog does a trial first.
Your dogs comfort is key to us, and they are given space, comfortable bedding and green play areas.
We get to know you and your dog or dogs to make sure we can make your dog’s time with us enjoyable and enriching.
Our staff understand that dogs thrive on companionship, and ensure that dogs from the same family aren’t separated. All other dogs are buddied up in their room for company 24/7.
Dog Daycare
Our dog daycare offers fur baby parents peace of mind. While you work or enjoy time out of caring for your dogs, we provide them with a safe, playful and social environment with all the comforts of home.
Most dogs love being with other dogs! We offer a social environment with supervised collective playtime.
Our pricing is great value for money.

Wide open spaces
It’s playtime most of the time at Margate Country Dog Resort. Our dog resort has been created with our canine guests in mind. While your dog is boarding or at dog daycare with us they will feel like they’re on holiday too. Sleeping and napping happens on couches and in shady, grassy or sandy areas and healthy treats are a highlight of our cherished dog’s days.
A trial to keep the peace
Our dog boarding and kennels are a social environment and only suit dogs who are comfortable around other dogs. To ensure every dog’s comfort we do a trial night with each new pup guest. If there’s any stress issues or problem behaviour (stress barking, aggression, nipping, disappearing acts) we find out quickly and unfortunately we aren’t the right fit. For those who fit right in, we are good to go and we can confidently offer you dog boarding and keep our space social, fun and harmonious.
