With their big personalities and unique charm, small dogs hold a special place in our heart

Welcome to Mini Mutts professional 'home from home' dog boarding and daycare reserved 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, our little doggy guest house is a safe, loving and cosy home where everything has been tailored to the wants and needs of small dogs.

Guests can look forward to outdoorsy adventures and activities, curling up and stretching out on sofas, armchairs, and in snuggly dog beds, pottering about in the courtyard garden,  healthy and homemade treats (in moderation), and lots of cuddles and individual attention.  We also offer a reliable dog walking service just for small dogs, within the PO12 post code area of Gosport.

We understand that leaving your pooch is never easy, 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 us very well trained 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 'K-nine to five'.  I became very busy and found myself in the fortunate position to be able to 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, but of course we love and welcome posh pooches too.

In 2018 Andy decided to go part-time in his own 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 2013 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.
