Cage-Free Dog Boarding and Playtime in Gurgaon
Your dog deserves a real holiday, not a kennel. We offer a home-style dogcation with cozy sofas, resident friends, and gentle supervision, so your pup feels right at home while you are away.
Look at that smile. Fleur is back for another stay and has already claimed her spot on the bed. It's always a joy to welcome back our regular furry friends.
Napping is a serious business here. This is what a relaxed afternoon looks like, with guests like Fleur and my own dog Daisy sharing a comfy space.
Bella, a young pup, settles in for a nap next to my resident dog, Daisy. I help new and young dogs integrate calmly into the pack for a positive boarding experience.
Meet Mogambo the Poodle. He's a small dog with a big personality and fits right in with the other guests and residents at the crèche.

About The Dog Pack: Play & Relaxation
We strictly limit our dog boarding to just two guest dogs at a time. This keeps our environment calm, quiet, and safe, allowing us to focus entirely on your pet's comfort and ensure they integrate seamlessly with our resident dogs, Pumpkin and Daisy, rather than managing a chaotic pack.
Why a Home Environment Matters
Unlike traditional kennels where dogs are often confined to crates or runs, we believe in a zero-kennel approach. Your dog gets full access to our home, meaning they can lounge on the sofa, sleep in a comfortable bed, and move around freely. This setup is particularly effective for anxious or shy dogs who struggle in high-energy, loud boarding facilities.
Expert-Led Supervision
Because we are behaviorists, we don't just 'watch' the dogs—we actively manage their experience. We handle everything from positive social introductions to maintaining your dog’s specific routine. Whether it is crate-feeding to ensure portion control or implementing gentle leash manners, we focus on positive reinforcement. We never use crates as a form of punishment; they are only used if your dog is already comfortable with them for meals or travel preparation.
Our Daily Rhythm
Your dog’s stay includes a balance of activity and relaxation. We head out for 2-3 structured neighborhood walks daily for sniffing and potty breaks, followed by chill-out time inside with air conditioning. We send regular photo and video updates so you can see your pup making new 'furrends' and settling in comfortably. If your dog has specific requirements—like post-surgery care or separation anxiety—we have the hands-on experience to ensure they feel secure throughout their dogcation.
Critter Creche
We are The Critter Creche, a team of pet lovers who believe dogs should have as much fun on holiday as we do. At our home, there are no cages—just sofas, resident friends, and plenty of belly rubs to keep your pup happy while you're away.
