Our Story

Welcome to In The Dog House, Stafford's luxury doggy day care centre, founded by Stella Hudson. After years of success in the dog grooming industry, Stella decided to expand her passion and expertise by opening this state-of-the-art facility just opposite her grooming salon located in the Paul Reynolds Centre.

What truly sets us apart is our exceptional staff. Each team member is highly trained, holding at least a level 3 qualification in animal care (or similar), with many possessing undergraduate degrees. We also have dedicated dog behaviourists who offer free doggy behavioural assessments to test your dogs suitability.
