about us

​

My name is Laura, & under the strict supervision of Marvin, I run Marvin’s Motel. It has been a dream of mine for many years to open a specialist day care & home boarding for Dachshunds, & with the cards dealt to me by the Covid pandemic, it was now or never!

 

Marvin was my first Dachshund & my love and passion for the breed has continuously grown over the years.

​​

There are two resident miniature dachshunds at the motel, Marvin (obviously) & Millie. Marvin clearly is the one in charge, & nothing happens without his say so!​

​

Marvin shows his guests the best place to snooze & where to wait to get the best treats!  Millie’s role is to welcome the guests & show them where all the toys are kept and how to make the most of the space for zoomies!

​

There are two feline residents at Marvin’s Motel. They don’t entertain any nonsense from the little leg posse & as expected treat them all with contempt!

Safely tucked away are Big Bertha, Cola, Kentucky & Chickpea.  They are ex commercial hens living out their retirement in peace.

 

As a licenced home boarding & day care provider you can be assured the we have full public liability insurance, are DBS checked, & are trained in canine first aid.​

​

We have a large, enclosed garden allowing for lots of fun & games.  Inside we have plenty of beds & blankets for snoozing!  ​

 

There are plenty of local woodlands where we can take shady walks, & we have a large meadow within walking distance.
