The Services

Boarding, day care, walks,
and a free trial day.

Four services, all from one home in Pêra. Boarding is the heart of what we do. Day care and walks live alongside it. Every new dog starts with a free trial.

Family Boarding
€25 per dog · per night

Your dog stays in our home in Pêra. Sleeps in a real room. Spends the day with a small pack of regulars. Morning walk, calm afternoons, evening photo update sent to you.

This is a home, not a kennel. Tara, my senior dog, is here. There is no cage. There is no second location. The routine is set around the dogs, not business hours.

What's included

  • A morning walk every day
  • Evening photo update by WhatsApp
  • Time outside in the garden and the pool when warm
  • Meals on your dog's normal schedule with your food
  • Medication administered if needed, no extra fee
Day Care
€20 per dog · full day

A safe, calm day at our Pêra home with a small pack. Same home, same routine, same person as the boarding service — without the overnight stay.

Drop-off is flexible. Pick-up by 7pm. We are in Pêra — drop-off here means no travel fee.

A typical day

  • Morning: short walk and play with the pack
  • Midday: calm time, rest, water
  • Afternoon: pool in summer, garden time in winter
  • Photo updates by WhatsApp during the day
Adventure Walk
€18 60 min

A 60-minute enrichment walk on the trails around the Salgados lagoon. Your dog gets to slow down, sniff properly, and move through terrain that's actually interesting. We drive to the trail — it starts there, not at your door.

Walks are part of every boarding stay. Available as a standalone booking for visiting dogs nearby, subject to schedule.

Trial Day
Free first time

Every new dog starts with a trial day. We meet, we walk, we see if your dog fits the pack. It costs nothing the first time.

If your dog is a fit, they're welcome to come back any time. If not, I'll explain why in detail and help match them with the right place or trainer.
