Home-Style Dog Boarding in Gurugram
Forget kennels and cages. Here, your dog gets a real home environment with anti-slip floors, decompression walks, and a routine built around their comfort and consent.
A big part of our day involves getting ready for our decompression walks. It's a routine that dogs quickly learn to love. Here, I'm getting a little Shih Tzu ready while my own dog, Candy, waits patiently. It’s a glimpse into the calm, structured, and happy environment your dog will experience with me.
I've made my home accessible and safe for dogs of all sizes and ages. This ramp is a game-changer, especially for small or senior dogs, as it prevents the repetitive strain and risk of injury from jumping on and off furniture. Their joint health is a top priority for me.
Physical exercise here goes beyond just walks. I use activities like Cavaletti pole work to help dogs improve their body awareness, build strength, and enhance cognition. It's a low-impact workout that is fantastic for dogs of all ages, including my senior girl, Candy.
Building trust is the foundation of everything I do. In this moment, I invited Candy to wear her collar, but she initially said "no." By respecting her choice and not forcing her, she felt safe enough to come back and opt-in on her own terms. This is the patient, choice-based partnership I foster with every dog in my care.
Safe and healthy play is crucial, especially in a multi-dog environment. I am always supervising to ensure interactions are positive and consensual for everyone. I look for signs of healthy play, like taking breaks and relaxed body language, and I step in if things get too one-sided.
A dog that can't seem to settle might be uncomfortable. Slippery floors can cause constant muscle tension and stress. That's why I've covered my tiled floors with anti-slip mats, creating a secure surface where dogs can truly relax without the fear of slipping.
Mealtimes should be stress-free. In my multi-dog household, I ensure every dog has their own separate, safe space to eat. This simple management technique prevents resource guarding and allows each dog to enjoy their meal in peace without feeling threatened or rushed.
About Featured
You might notice the anti-slip mats and ramps in these photos. That is because I prioritize joint health for every guest, whether they are a high-energy puppy or a senior dog with mobility issues. It is a small detail, but it ensures your dog feels secure and confident moving around my home, rather than slipping and bracing themselves on hard tiles while you are away.
My boarding isn't a facility; it is a home. I believe that when dogs are stressed, they do not need more 'rules'—they need safety, choice, and a calm environment.
What to expect for your dog:
- Decompression Walks: Walks are for sniffing and exploring, not just potty breaks. We use long lines to give your dog the freedom to engage their senses and relax in nature.
- Consent-Based Care: If your dog is nervous, I don't force interaction. Whether it is putting on a harness or meeting a new playmate, your dog’s 'no' is respected. This builds the trust that makes them feel safe enough to eventually say 'yes.'
- Structured Daily Routine: Uncertainty creates anxiety. From separate feeding zones to prevent resource guarding, to using Cavaletti poles for physical and mental enrichment, I keep the day predictable.
I handle everything from medical administration for senior dogs to puppy foundations, all in a cage-free setting. My home is set up with safety gates and cameras to ensure that even when I am stepping out, your dog is never truly alone to 'figure things out' by themselves.

I’m Kirti. After my own dogs, Candy and Russel, taught me about the real reasons behind dog behavior, I realized most pet parents just need a partner, not a trainer. I run my boarding exactly how I’d want someone to care for my own dogs—with deep patience, safety, and a focus on what makes them feel happy.
