Paws & Peek
See your dog whenever you like while you’re away.
A small camera is placed in your dog’s kennel and you receive a personal QR code. Scan it on your phone to see her any time during her stay.
Every guest also gets photos and updates, and you can watch live footage while she’s out on her walks. Paws & Peek is an optional extra, charged separately. Please arrange it before her stay.
