Cage-Free Dog Boarding for a Stress-Free Stay
No kennels, no cages, just a happy pack and plenty of space to be a dog.
Posing for the camera. Austin and Oreo, two handsome boys, have claimed the stairs as their personal throne. Dogs are allowed on furniture and can make themselves at home wherever they please.
A lazy Sunday morning scene. A Labrador relaxes on a soft mattress while a beagle patrols the area. This is the essence of cage-free boarding: freedom and comfort.
Sweet dreams, Oscar. This senior Golden Retriever is fast asleep on his favorite soft green mat. I provide plenty of comfortable bedding throughout the house for ultimate relaxation.

A Husky and a beagle peeking down from the stairs. They have the choice to join the action downstairs or hang out and play together. Here, they decided playing 'catch my ears' was more fun.
The Husky, Scooby, gives a funny look as he decides to stay upstairs with his beagle friend. Empowering dogs to make their own choices is a core part of my care philosophy.

About this collection
Your dawg gets to choose their own pace here—whether that's napping on the cool floor, sunning on the terrace, or joining the pack for a play session. I don't force routines because I believe a stress-free boarding experience starts with letting your pup be themselves, not just a number in a kennel. You won't find any crates or isolation here; just home vibes where every dog is treated like family.
Why Cage-Free Matters
Most kennels rely on confinement, which can lead to unnecessary anxiety for your pup. At my home in North Bengaluru, the experience is the complete opposite. Your dawg is part of the Brat Pack from the moment they arrive. They get full run of the house, with granite and laminate floors perfect for cooling down and plenty of soft, comfy spots to crash after a long day of play.
Life at The Urban Dawg
- The Rooftop Playground: We have a secure, high-walled rooftop terrace where the gang enjoys morning zoomies and sunbathing. It is the best spot for mental and physical stimulation without the stress of a busy park.
- Pack Dynamics: I don't believe in forced interactions. Whether your dog is a high-energy pup or a reserved senior, they learn from the pack in a safe, supervised way. My role as Kahu is to read their body language and ensure everyone feels secure.
- Nutrition & Comfort: Whether your dog is on a raw diet or needs a little extra help with mobility, I handle it all. I keep a close eye on health and wellness, ensuring that your dawg's dietary needs are met exactly as they are at home.
Getting Started
To make sure this environment is the right fit, I conduct a 60-minute temperament assessment before any booking. This helps me understand your dog’s specific quirks, anxiety levels, and pack compatibility. It ensures that when you leave, you can relax knowing your dawg is exactly where they belong—safe, loved, and free to roam.
The Urban Dawg
I’m Devisri, your dawg’s 'Kahu'—that’s Hawaiian for guardian. I don’t just host your pups; I welcome them into my home and my heart as part of the pack, ensuring they’re safe, loved, and free to roam.
