Four steps to their first full day.

Relaxed, unhurried and planned around your pet.

  1. Get in touch

    Call us or send a request with a little about your dog or cat and the days you have in mind.

  2. Hello visit

    Bring them to Fern Court. They explore while we talk through their routine, handling and what helps them relax.

  3. First full day

    A gentle first day, with extra time to settle and a note for you at pickup.

  4. Find their rhythm

    Drop-in days, regular days or a quiet care plan. We keep checking in as we get to know them.

What to bring.

A short list for dogs, and one for cats.
