About
Lap of Luxury
Doggy Day Care in Amersham

Lap of Luxury is a local, independent company, based in Amersham, specialising in the provision of boutique day and overnight care for your beloved companions. We provide a range of services designed to make your dog as happy, stimulated and comfortable as possible.

We focus on gentle socialisation and playing in a child-free environment. Many young dogs are not able to socialise enough while owners work from home or do hybrid work. It is helpful for your dog to have a change of scenery and to meet new people and play with different dogs in a safe and well-supervised environment.

Dogs are never left alone and sleep alongside me and my own small dog.
