Barking Mad Exeter
Home boarding via approved host families across Devon; £34 a day, 5-star licence.
About
Barking Mad Exeter is the local branch of the national home-boarding franchise, matching your dog with an approved host family instead of boarding it at one address itself. The franchise, run by Lucy Wakefield, covers Exeter together with Mid and East Devon, including Tiverton. A paid registration meeting (£45 for one dog, plus £10 for each extra dog) happens before boarding starts, and the daily boarding rate is £34 for one dog with a lower rate for a second dog from the same household. East Devon District Council licenses the franchise for home boarding, rated 5 stars, current to September 2028. As with any home boarder, ask which host family your dog would actually stay with before you book.
