Heather’s Lavender House Dog Hotel is based in the rural village of Strensall in York. We offer home from home dog boarding with all the home comforts that your dog deserves, after all, this will be their holiday.

We have dogs staying with us just for the night, long weekends and longer periods. So you can go away and relax knowing that your lovable pooch will be relaxing here with me and my family.   At the dog hotel, your dog will be cared for as a family pet and be given lots of fuss and attention. You can rest assured that your dog is being cared for in the way you would. We have fantastic walks on our doorstep with woodlands, moors, and water. All our guests have lots of playtime fun and for those guests of a certain age, or the really young who need their sleep, we have a quiet room.  We groom and check all our dogs daily making sure that they are fit and well. Some dogs can find boarding kennels incredibly stressful whereas at Heather’s Lavender House dog hotel they will be on their own special holiday!

Benefits of Heathers Lavender House: 

• Home from home comfort where your dog lives as part of our family in our home with his own bed, food and toys and we will give him lots of love & care.
• Our home is surrounded by Woodlands, water and country paths, everything your dog loves to explore on his/her daily walks
• All dogs that stay with us are sociable and we assess each one making sure that we feel happy that they will fit in with other dogs that are staying here at the same time.
• Most dogs love the company of others and of course humans too, they also like to have one on one time which we provide throughout their stay.  This reassures them that all is well and they are much loved like our own.
• We have a lovely spacious and secure garden where we have lots of playtime fun, with games, toys, agility for the energetic, and a pool for the warmer days.
• We cater for the individual needs of all our guests.  So, if your dog isn’t particularly keen to join in, he/she will not be left out, there is always time for cuddles whilst the others play.  And the walks are tailored to your dogs needs too, the fitter and younger ones will have two good hourly walks a day, the very young the elderly and dogs with a physical problem will be taken on shorter and easier walks. 
• We are happy to administer medication either orally or topically
• We do make our own healthy dog treats and should your dog have a birthday during their stay, we do enjoy a party!
