Cage-Free Dog Boarding in Gurgaon
When you travel, your dog deserves more than a kennel. Here, they join my family pack for a stress-free stay with plenty of room to sniff, nap, and just be themselves.
After a dog experiences big emotions, they need a safe space to decompress and "fill their cup." This could mean resting on a comfy bed without being disturbed. I always take cues from the dog on what they need, rather than deciding for them.
After a stressful walk, my first instinct might be to hug my dog, but it's important to ask for their consent. Here, I'm letting Maya tell me how she wants to be comforted. Sometimes, just being present and calm is the best support you can offer.
A look at some of the wonderful dogs who spent their holidays with us. Each one becomes a temporary member of our family pack, enjoying walks, playtime, and lots of cuddles.
Age is just a number when it comes to zoomies! This is Whiskey, a 5-year-old pug, enjoying a burst of energy on the bed during his stay. My home is a place where dogs are allowed to be themselves and have fun.
Giving my three dogs time to run and play off-leash in a safe, enclosed area is crucial for their happiness. This is a key part of the enrichment I provide for all dogs who stay with me, ensuring they get the physical and mental exercise they need.
About A Home Away From Home: The Boarding Experience
My home boarding is not a kennel experience. Your dog gets 24/7 access to our home, including sofas and beds, with 2-3 long-line decompression walks daily. I focus on routine, mental enrichment, and, most importantly, giving them the space to choose how they relax.
A Different Kind of Stay
Standard kennels are often about confinement, but my approach is about connection. When your dog stays at my Sector 17B home, they aren't isolated. They become part of our pack, sharing space with me, my husband, and our three resident dogs.
What Your Dog's Day Looks Like
We prioritize decompression and routine:
- Decompression Walks: We use long-lines for every walk. This allows your dog to sniff, explore, and move at their own pace, which is crucial for lowering stress levels.
- Mental Enrichment: Boredom leads to anxiety. We use lick mats, treat scattering, and Kongs to keep their brains engaged in a healthy way.
- Safe Socialization: If your dog is comfortable, they interact with my resident dogs under strict supervision. If they need space, they get it. No forcing interactions.
Why This Works for Anxious Dogs
If your dog struggles with reactivity or separation anxiety, they need stability, not just supervision. I use mat training and desensitization to help them feel secure. We keep the environment quiet and controlled. I also constantly monitor for body language that suggests stress, acting before the dog becomes overwhelmed.
Practicalities
- Health First: We follow a strict 'pain screening' philosophy. If your dog is acting out, I first rule out physical discomfort or pain before assuming it's behavioral.
- Owner Updates: You get daily photo and video updates. You will see your dog napping, eating, and relaxing, not just sitting in a cage.
- What to Bring: I keep it simple. Just bring their regular food and instructions. I handle the rest, from curd and fruit additives to bedding and climate control depending on the season.
