Clyde Valley Pet Retreat
We are here to ensure that your dogs enjoy the same high standards of care, love and attention they are used to at home and have a boarding experience like no other.
By offering luxury and service unparalleled anywhere in the country my hope is that Clyde Valley Pet Retreat will be the first choice for discerning dog owners in Scotland.
Our two very large and very luxurious dog boarding suites have been finished to the highest of standards and offer one to one care for each suite.
Due to the size of each suite, you can also have the peace of mind that if you own more than one dog, they can live together happily and comfortably together with no need for them to be separated.
Clyde Valley Pet Retreat is set in three acres of land surrounded by hundreds of acres of open countryside.
My aim was to create large dog boarding suites with a level of finish and luxury second to none.
They have been fully insulated and are fitted with full height toughened double glazed windows and doors as a well as a thermal dog hatch to make sure your dogs are kept safe and warm.
Each suite benefits from thermostatically controlled electric underfloor heating, luxury porcelain tiles inside and out, and 24 hour live feed webcams which can be accessed from anywhere in the world day or night.
The underfloor heating covers 75% of the floor allowing for cool areas should you dog wish to stay cool.
Each suite has fantastic views across open fields to the rear and the full height double glazed windows offer views across the Clyde Valley towards the Campsie Fells and beyond.
We have The Ben Lomond Suite and The Campsie Suite and are named after two of the mountains which dominate the view from our house.
The rear exercise runs are fully covered and are the same size as the internal sleeping areas so there is plenty of room for your dogs to move around in between walks.
For added security there are two rows of outer mesh fencing which creates a safety corridor ensuring you dogs cannot get free whilst being readied for their walks.
Should the good old Scottish weather turn bad whilst your dogs are staying with us, you will be glad to know that we have our very own separate shower room where our guests will get a good wash down and dry before retiring to their suites.
I trust you will find all of the information contained within our site useful and we hope that you can now see that there is an alternative to traditional boarding kennels.
Please feel free to contact me for more information and to discuss your individual requirements, please see my link above or the contact details below.

Our fees are charged per day therefore you will be charged for the full day of arrival and departure. This enables you to have the complete flexibility of being able to drop your dog/s off as early as you wish on the day of arrival and collect them as late as you wish on the day of departure.
Our fees include at least four daily walks. Eventually we will have our own large fenced off play area where dogs from the same suite will have their own time together to play off the lead in addition to the walks. All fees include VAT.
- Opening Times:
- We do not have set opening times as we understand that holidays and business trips can be subject to change and alteration at the last minute.
We therefore are very flexible in when our clients can drop off and collect their dogs.
Individual arrangements are always welcome.
Please contact us to discuss your own individual requirements.
Fantastic Place For A Dog To Stay
"Thanks Angela, Jim and the girls. The dog was very well looked after during her stay with you at the retreat. Facilities matched up to what you described and at times I think you actually undersold the retreat. Anyone who wants peace of mind that their pet is not only being well looked after but is having a great time while on they are on holiday should book into the retreat. Having booked the dog into this facility I would never/or be allowed to book anywhere else. Thanks again and I look forward to booking Keira in again."

Worlds apart from other kennels - can't even call this a kennel.
"Sammy and Sasha have been well looked after in a home from home with personal service from Angela and Jim. The updates on facebook and web cam facility is fantastic and gave me peace of mind - they've got nothing to hide because they are looking after my dogs, unlike kennels that I've had to use in the past when I've been suspicious of whether they've been out of the kennel at all."
Booked in on a regular basis now

Was Tempted To Book Myself In For A Week!
"When I saw where my dogs were going to be staying and the luxury room they had and the great views over the Lanark countryside which are breathtaking.not to mention the attention they would be getting I was tempted to book myself in for a week ha ha.Its run by a family who love dogs and are very passionate about what they do!
My three dogs Scruffy, Gismo and Ziggy were so well looked after while they stayed here. They settled in straight away due to the luxurious surroundings and the array of toys that kept them amused. They had plenty of walks also which was great for them. The retreat is very well managed, very clean and the fact that you can watch you dog(s) via webcam if you so wish says it all really.
I have already booked my dogs back in for their third holiday because in my opinion you will not find a better "hotel" for your dog(s).
Thank you Angela, Jim and family for opening up such a great establishment which gives us dog owners peace of mind that our precious four legged friends are getting so well looked after while they are in your care."

One Happy Dog
"This place is exactly what it says in the name a real pet retreat! My shar pei Roxy has just returned from a weeks holiday and I can honestly say I think she loved it. She loved the luxury rooms, with an off the floor bed and her own mini sofa to laze on! She also loved the freedom of coming and going in the room as she pleased. Angela was brilliant with her, taking her on numerous walks a day and letting her roam around the massive grounds if that's what she preferred. I was "anxious" about leaving her as I had never left her before, I really should not have worried as I think she would have happily stayed with Angela and her wee dog (who became her best friend) forever!
We will definitely be returning here again as I know my dog is in safe and caring hands in the Clyde Valley Pet Retreat."

Clyde Valley Pet Retreat
I was very impressed by the high standard of care at Clyde Valley Pet Retreat. Barney came back to us looking happy and lively and beautifully clean. It was obvious he had been very well looked after. Angela took great care to note his feeding routine, behaviour and personality and to see that all his needs were catered for.Angela and Jim had taken photos of the lovely walks they had been on with Barney and he certainly appeared to have adapted well to his new surroundings as well as striking up a friendship with their own dog, Lucy.The suites are well-equipped with comfy couches and beds and plenty of room to walk about. The dogs have good views of the countryside from the indoor and outdoor sections of the suites.
Angela and Jim also offer a collection and delivery service which is a great help if you are short of time.
Clyde Valley Pet Retreat will be my first choice if I need to use kennels again.

We would like to thank Angela and Jim for taking great care of the boys while we were on holiday, I know Heather was more settled in leaving the boys with you because she could check the webcam and still see 'her boys'. I thinks that is a fabulous idea to allow owners to look in on them now and again. The boys were happy and settled with you and I know for sure that when we go away again we will certainly be booking the boys with you (availability permitting of course) again. We will certainly be passing your details on to other dog owners. We can't thank you enough for the care and time you gave the boys.

At last - somewhere I can leave my pet without worrying!
Clyde Valley Pet Retreat was perfect for my Jack Russell. When I picked him up after spending over a week with Angela & Jim, he was in no hurry to go home. In fact he was happily jumping in and out of the car looking for more attention from Angela! He was one happy doggie!
We also found the webcam amazing. Throughout out each day of our holiday, we frequently watched him play, eat, and sleep. This was extremely reassuring for us and we didn't worry about him at all.
We would thoroughly recommend Clyde Valley Pet Retreat for a stress free stay for your pet and a more relaxed holiday for you.

Kopper from Inverkip
My wee working cocker spaniel stayed with Angela and Jim over Christmas - unfortunately after her stay I am not sure if she wanted to come home!
I was so delighted with her 'accommodation' compete with heated floor and web cam - so I could look at her when I wanted - not that she was in much to look at as she was out and about most of the time.
This is absolutely a Boutique hotel and Kopper will be going back again during my next holiday. I am so happy that I found Clyde Valley retreat as I know I can go away and Kopper will be more than looked after.

Mitzy's stay
We recently left Mitzy at Pet retreat with Angela and Jim. We were so delighted with the care she received, We got regular feedback and was able to view her via the webcam Mitzy came back exactly as she went in fit and healthy and really happy We wouldn't send her anywhere else now, especially as we visited Several other establishments before seeing pet retreat. Thanks for the care and attention you gave to our Mitzy, look forward to seeing you again.

Excellent suites
Our boys, 2 labs stayed for 18 days recently and came out so relaxed and looking so well. Angela and Jim are so attentive and responsive to our wishes. Nothing is too much trouble and the fact they gave regular updates whilst we were away was so reassuring. The suite is huge and our boys had lots of room. To see them on the webcam was a huge bonus. They got lots of human attention. We have visited many kennels around Glasgow and beyond and nothing compares to the high standards of these suites. So much so that we will arrange our holidays around availability here. Many many thanks to Angela, Jim and family.

Spence had an amazing holiday.
My cocker spaniel Spence stayed at the Clyde valley pet retreat while we were in New York for 10 days and words cannot describe how much peace of mind Jim and Angela gave us. The care and attention they gave Spence is priceless, dogs are entitled to a holiday too and that's exactly what they get at the retreat. Spence has not only had an amazing holiday he has gained a bunch of new friends which gives us so much joy. He is very much missing his new friends, however he will see them again in March for another 2 weeks. If you are a dog owner and are looking for somewhere to put your dog into while you are away look no further you will not find better. Angela and Jim are the best people we have ever met including their girls Kirsty and Eilidh and of course Lucy and Mitzy, Thank you so much to all of you and look forward to seeing you in March.

Super Kennels.
What a wonderful holiday our dog Buster had at Clyde Valley Pet Retreat, Angela and Jim really took great care of him, the kennels are of a very high standard with lots of room and underfloor heating, the webcams are a very good idea, I could watch Buster at any time, when he was in, he was out a lot with Angela and Jim on big long walks which he loves, I'm so glad I've found a place where I can leave him when we go on holiday. This is a wonderful place to leave your dogs while you go away on holiday, we will definitely be taking Buster back, Thanks again Angela and Jim.
