About Ellen
Daycare / Overnight & Holiday Care- 7 Days Per Week
Limited to 6 small companion breeds up to 10 kg
Lap of Luxury is a local, independent company, based in Amersham, specialising in the provision of boutique day and overnight care for your beloved companions. We provide a range of services designed to make your dog as happy, stimulated and comfortable as possible.
We focus on gentle socialisation and playing, with many young dogs not having been able to socialise enough during Covid lockdowns. If you continue to work from home, it can be helpful for your dog to have a change of scenery and to meet new people and play with different dogs in a safe and well-supervised environment.
Our Facilities
- A home-from-home with a 100-foot, dog-proofed garden.
- Air-conditioned home.
- Doggy swimming pool in the garden during warm months. Walks around Amersham, local parks.
