Professional Dog Home Boarding and Day Care.
Hi, I’m Leanne — owner of Scruffs Home Boarding and Doggy Day Care.
I’ve always had a passion for dogs and wanted to create a place where they can feel truly at home while their owners are away. At Scruffs, we provide a safe, caring, and comfortable environment where every dog is treated like part of the family.
With over 15 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds and personalities, you can trust that your pet will receive the same love, care, and attention they do at home.
I live in Horsforth- Leeds with my husband Darren and my daughter India. We share our home with Dunde, our Rhodesian Ridgeback — she’s a huge part of what inspired me to create Scruffs: a warm, friendly place where every dog can relax, play, and feel safe.
