At Lapford Lodge Boarding Kennels & Cattery, we believe every pet deserves to feel safe, loved, and at home—even when they’re away from theirs. Nestled in the peaceful Devon countryside, our family-run establishment is built on genuine care, compassion, and a passion for animals. We treat every dog and cat that stays with us as if they were our own, offering plenty of cuddles, enrichment, and attentive, personalised care. Many of our regular guests can’t wait to come back for their next stay, happily trotting through the gate as if returning to their second home. Whether your pet is joining us for a short break or a longer holiday, you can relax knowing they’re in a warm, welcoming environment with people who truly adore what they do.
Our kennels offer a simple, safe, and easy-to-use online booking system, allowing you to create your own account, provide detailed information about your pet, and make bookings with ease. You can also securely process payments through the platform. For those who prefer a personal touch, please feel free to call us to discuss your pet’s needs or make a booking directly.
At Lapford Lodge, animal welfare and guest safety are our top priorities. We require all pets to be fully vaccinated, including distemper, parvovirus, and kennel cough, with proof of up-to-date vaccinations provided before boarding to ensure a healthy, safe environment for all.
After our regular boarder cancelled a couple of days before our girls were due to go ( no fault, completely unavoidable) we found ourselves searching. So incredibly glad we found Lapford as we were able to go down for an introduction with very short notice, and our two girls were introduced and were immediately relaxed. We went away after dropping them off the following day with no worries and they came back happy, waggy tails and still wanting more. We could not have wished for a better outcome and I'm so thrilled with them. We will definitely use again as I'm happy our girls are treated as one of their own dogs would be. I cannot thank you enough, and we will see you again once our next holiday is booked xx

Always leave Louey, our chiuahua, here. Good price and facilities. He enjoys his "holidays" here!

Barney has stayed for the odd night and for 10 nights when we went on holiday and came home as happy as he always is. The kennels are clean and there is an outside exercise area where the dogs are individually let out for exercise.

Tiddles spent a week at Lapford Cattery. The cattery was very clean and the pen was spacious and warm. Competitive price. We wouldn't hesitate to use this cattery again.
