Welcome to Mini Mutts professional 'home from home' dog boarding, daycare, and walking services exclusively for small dogs in Gosport Hampshire. Located in the heart of the town and just a stones throw from beautiful parks, woodlands, and beaches for wonderful walkies,  Mini Mutts offers a welcome alternative to traditional kennels.   Our little doggy 'guest house' is a safe, loving and cosy home where everything has been tailored to the wants and needs of smaller dogs to provide a truly personal home boarding experience for your much loved little companion. 

Guests can look forward to varied outdoorsy adventures and activities, curling up and stretching out on sofas, armchairs, and in snuggly dog beds, pottering around the garden,  enjoying healthy and homemade treats (in moderation of course), and lots of cuddles and individual attention.

Leaving your pooch is never easy, we completely understand this.  We aim to become your dogs second best friend so you can enjoy your holiday, or get on with your day with the peace of mind that your little one is happy, contented, and having a tail wagging time.

a little bit about us

---

Mini Mutts is a small family business run by myself and my husband Andy.   We share our home with our own 3 mini mutts Missy, Mila, and Penny who have trained us very well in all aspects of the 'How to be a devoted pooch parent' handbook.

In 2014, after working in Local Government for 10 years I decided to turn my passion for dogs into a business to have a happier, healthier work life,  setting up my own dog walking business called 'K-nine to five'  which became so successful I found myself able to streamline and take things in a direction that suited me better - specialising in small dogs,  so after a  little re-brand we became 'Mini Mutts',  the name being inspired by our own three small mixed breed dogs.

In 2018 Andy decided to cut back in his other job to become involved with the business and spend more time with the Mini Mutts.

We're involved with fundraising for the charity 'Serbia's Forgotten Paws' after adopting Mila from them in 2012,  then in the following year I travelled there on a self funded trip to work at the shelter for a week, an experience that was both heartbreaking and rewarding.  We later fostered Penny but failed wonderfully as she stole our hearts and became our 3rd resident Mini Mutt.

Professional & Personal Achievements:  I've twice had the honour of judging the Stubbington Fun Dog show (2015 & 2017) organised by Canine Communications Dog Training in Gosport, and have completed a number of dog related courses including: Rescue Homechecker (2014), Understanding Canine Body Language and Behaviour (2015), Canine 1st aid (2014 & 2016), Introduction to Canine Massage (2018), as well as attending the Victoria Stilwell Dog Behaviour Conference - a 3 day event (2018)

Andy has a background in the RAF and in catering and his homemade liver cake is a firm favourite with our guests.
