A boutique boarding retreat · Est. Mango Hill

A quiet room, a soft bed, and someone who notices when they don't finish dinner.

Glasshouse is a small, hand-run pet retreat in Mango Hill for dogs and cats whose owners don't want a kennel and don't want to feel guilty.

— Why we call it Glasshouse

A retreat built around watching, not warehousing.

We started with one idea: every pet in our care should be visible to us, all day, at all times. So we built around a central glass pavilion — every room looks into it, and we work from it.

No back rooms. No "we'll check on them in an hour." Just one quiet building where your dog can see us, and we can see them.

— What's included

Every stay, no upsells.

Boutique boarding shouldn't come with a list of "extras". These are in every night you book.

01

Hand-feeding at owner times

Tell us when they eat at home. That's when they eat here. We'll bring their bowl to them — we don't put it on a schedule.
02

A daily check-in note + photo

Once a day, by 4pm, you get a short note: how they ate, how they slept, and one photo. Not a marketing video — a real one.
03

Same handler, pickup to drop-off

The person who greets your pet at intake is the same person who hands them back. We don't shift-rotate around your dog.
04

Vet on speed-dial, 24/7

Direct line to Companion Vet Care in North Lakes. If anything is off, you'll hear about it before they do anything.

"We picked Pip up and she was settled, not stressed. That was the first time after a boarding stay we could actually say that."

— The honest answers

Things people ask before they book.

How many pets do you take at once?

Three rooms, max six pets total — and we won't take more even if a room is technically free. We'd rather turn a stay away than rush the care.

What vaccinations are required?

C5 for dogs (current within 12 months), F3 for cats. We'll ask for a vet certificate at booking — it's not negotiable, sorry.

Can I bring their own bed and food?

Yes — and we encourage it. Familiar bedding and their own food shortens the adjustment by about a day in our experience.

What's your cancellation policy?

Full refund up to 7 days out. Inside 7 days, 50%. Inside 48 hours, it's non-refundable but we'll credit the night toward your next stay.

Do you take cats and dogs in the same building?

Yes, but they're completely separated. The cat conservatory has its own entrance, sound buffer, and the dogs never enter it. Most cats settle within a few hours.

Ready to book a quieter stay?

Pick your dates and we'll come back to you within a few hours — usually faster. We answer every enquiry ourselves.
