Calm, licensed home boarding & day care - where dogs are treated as family
At Alchemise Pet Care, your dog stays in a family home, with small numbers meaning individual attention and care – not kennels, cages, or large groups.
Alchemise was created for dogs that thrive in calm environments with companionship, enrichment, and consistency – and for guardians who want absolute peace of mind when they are unable to be there themselves.
This is home-from-home care, done properly.
🧡 An inclusive approach to care
Alchemise is run by Samantha, who is autistic and naturally attentive to detail, wellbeing, and communication.
This supports a truly inclusive and understanding approach, especially for:
- dogs who are shy, elderly, or need extra reassurance
- small dogs who prefer quieter environments
- dogs who benefit from routine and enrichment rather than chaotic play
- guardians who appreciate clear communication, written updates, and consistency
Samantha loves all dogs but holds a particular soft spot for smaller breeds and older companions.
🐾 What makes Alchemise different
- Licensed home boarding & day care
- 4-star rating – the highest a new boarder can receive within the first two years
- Small numbers only for safety, calm, and individual attention
- Enrichment-led care (mental stimulation matters as much as walks)
- A real family home, not a commercial setting
🧠 Enrichment
Dogs at Alchemise are engaged, not just watched.
Each day includes a mix of:
◉puzzles and problem-solving games
◉mental enrichment activities
◉sandpits and sensory play
◉calm interaction and rest time
◉outdoor access and secure garden play
Day care dogs receive:
◉one walk per day
◉enrichment, play, and companionship
Boarding dogs receive:
◉two walks per day
◉the same level of enrichment, care, and routine
Everything is tailored to the individual dog’s age, energy levels, confidence, and needs.
🏡 A true home-from-home
Alchemise has been carefully set up for comfort and wellbeing, including:
- air conditioning
- cooling and heating mats
- paddling pools in summer
- enrichment toys throughout the home
- a fully secure, double-gated 6-foot fenced garden
🐶 Friendly resident dogs
Louie is an elderly crossbreed who likes to take life slowly now; he usually stays in his safe space upstairs unless he wants to interact with boarding dogs.
Poppy is a ten-year-old terrier mix. She loves to bark when new dogs come but quickly calms and mostly ignores boarding dogs.
Little Ollie is a young Jack Russell. He especially enjoys playing with keen dogs, while calmer dogs are always respected and given space.
