Our unique pet boarding facilities offer your pets the chance to have a holiday too.
The Rovers Return Inn Boutique Dog Hotel
Dogs have their own Suite & Play area sheltered from the weather elements. The Suites are acclimatized, fully tiled and insulated, with a fan for the warmer days too, it also has a large bench/bed the size of a ” human single bed” raised 10cm off the ground for your pets’ comfort; we also provide all the soft clean bedding.
The play area has a water sprinkler system for the warmer days with its own toy box & relaxing pet music playing all day in the background.
Some of the play areas also have a ” doggy” plunge pool for the summer months.
Our Rovers Return Inn is set in a mature Orange Grove. It is not a conventional kennel at all. For your pets’ holiday we provide playtime’s, interaction, socialisation as well as one to one care.
We specialise in giving your dog a holiday suited to them. Dogs have a huge playground in which they can “free run” after the mornings breakfast and we continue to rotate the pets into the playground all day.
The Sensory Garden /Playground called the Red Wreck has been created to stimulate the canine instincts and build their confidence as well as to tantalise all their senses. Our sensory garden plans to encourages dogs to interact with their surroundings and provide physical and mental challenges helping dogs de-stress and enriching their lives.
The garden not only has a digging sand pit for treats & rewards, there are ramps, different textured pathway, a sundeck, water feature, crazy daisies, illusion mirrors & play area. Different things will be popular with different pets.
We also have in the sensory garden plants such as:
Lavender: Known to encourage scar tissue regeneration
Marigold: Often selected by animals experiencing grief or emotional distress
Peppermint: Good for its cooling properties and often selected by animals with skin irritation. As it can be offered as an aid for training
Valerian: Often selected by anxious dogs for its calming effect
Wheat Grass: Animals who are nervous, anxious, and exhibit hyper behaviours often select wheat grass.
Lemon Balm : Eases anxiety & kills viruses.
Lemon Geranium: Mosquito Repellent, ideal for our climate here in Spain.
Regularly photos of your pets on their holiday are posted on our FACEBOOK page POSH PETS SPAIN.
For clients that live some distance from us we can offer a licensed Pet Pick up & return service too.

If you need to bring them we can always pop them in our “chillout pet room” whilst we show you around.
We are sure you understand.

Our Requirements
- To make your pets stay run smoothly please follow our requirements, it will ensure that your “best friend” settles in really quickly.
- Pets need to be fully vaccinated (proof required on drop off & Vaccination cards need to be left for the duration of the pets stay. We do NOT require the kennel cough vaccine ( please refer to the vaccine requirements below.
- Dogs require to wear their own collar and need to be up to date with worming & spot on treatments ( that needs to have been entered in their vaccination record book) to also include a sandfly preventative such as Vectra 3d or Advantix ideally to wear a Seresto or scalibor collar also.
- Pets are required to bring their own diet with them.
- A small favourite blanket with a smell from home to settle your friend into their accommodation.
- Up to date booking form with contact details needs to be left with us.
Certain dog breed types to include German Shepherds and all dogs on the Dangerous Dog List will require a two day trial period with us before we will accept them for longer holidays.
We request that all dogs are to be spayed or neutered if they are of an age where this can be done. If dogs are not spayed or neutered, special arrangements may be possible if we are notified when reservations are made for the dog’s stay. We are unable to accept female dogs that are in their heat cycle ( in season).
Please note: ( If Raining please think of our current residents as it is unfair for them to come out and say hello in the rain, please therefore come on an alternative day).
Protecting your dogs against the Sandfly & Leismaniosis
As we are as concerned as all our clients for the welfare of our pets with the threat of the leishmaniosis-transmitting sand fly species / mosquitoes, we ask that all dogs that stay with us must wear a white Scalibor/Seresto collar or be treated with a relevant spot on treatment such as advantix or Vectra 3d These can be purchased at Posh Pets Spain at very competitive prices.
In this modern day we have fitted ultrasonic mosquito repellents into our boarding area that help protect your pets not only in their sleeping chalets but also in their complete exercising areas/enclosures.
We have also planted Lemon Geraniums around the play areas. We have done this as the sand fly is at its most risk to pets during dusk & dawn when actually pets like to be exercised as it is the cooler time of day from June to September. Our ultrasonic repellents will actually cover a 15 metre radius around your pet at all times!! We have tried & tested these ourselves & found them very successful in the outside areas that we & our pets occupy at night.
We also provide benches & doggy sun beds to ensure that pets can stay off the ground when lying down which is where the sand fly likes to be.
Vaccinations, Vaccines & our requirements
For Dogs:
Routine vaccinations for dogs to protect against Parvovirus, Hepatitis, Leptospirosis and Distemper ( vets call this all in one vaccine the cocktail) Dogs are also require by law a yearly booster for rabies. If your dog has not been vaccinated before, then they cannot be boarded in kennels until 7-14 days after vaccination.
Kennel Cough: We do not ask that pets are given a vaccine for “canine cough/kennel cough” as the vaccines that are currently available from your vets only cover one strain of the cough. It is not a pleasant vaccine & believe it or not but your vet will confirm that there are at least 25 different strains and the vaccine only covers one strain. Canine cough is similar to the human flu & to be honest there is more chance of your pets catching the virus at your own vets than with us as our pet facilities have plenty of space. We are proud to say we fortunately have never had the virus here.
For Cats:
Most vaccine combinations protect against Cat Flu (Feline Herpes and Feline Calicivirus) and Feline Infectious Enteritis (Feline Panleucopenia). Your cat may also be protected against Chlamydia and Feline Leukaemia Virus (FeLV), otherwise you can arrange these vaccinations separately. A vaccination is also available for Bordetella Bronchiseptica another respiratory infection . Cats also by law in Spain require a yearly booster for rabies. All vaccinations require annual boosters and cats should not be boarded until two weeks after vaccination.
For Rabbits:
Rabbits should be vaccinated routinely, but particularly before boarding, against Myxomatosis and Viral Haemorrhagic Disease (VHD). The two vaccinations should be given at least two weeks apart, with the last vaccine at least two weeks prior to boarding. The Myxomatosis requires six monthly boosters and VHD annual boosters.
