Who your dog stays with

A real family, a real home, a real name

You should never hand your dog to a logo. We're a dog-loving family near Faringdon, and when your dog stays with us they live in our home as the only guest — full stop.

[Add your personal story here before launch: your name, your own dog, why you started The Only Dog, your experience. The persona panel was unanimous that a named, faced host is the single biggest trust signal — see RUNBOOK.]

  • One named, DBS-checked carer — the same person every day, who your dog gets to know.
  • A named local vet on call, with pre-authorised emergency cover.
  • Canine first-aid trained and fully insured.
  • A backup carer for continuity — a single stay is never a single point of failure.
  • A calm family home, never a kennel block — your dog lives with us as one of the family.

Our promise

If your dog ever seems genuinely unhappy in our home, we will tell you honestly, stop the stay and refund every unused night. We would always rather lose a booking than board a dog who isn't content.
