Our Tierparadies, our family
Since 1992 we have been looking after dogs, cats and small pets in Grefrath on the Lower Rhine as if they were our own. What started as a family business has stayed one to this day: personal, warm-hearted and with lots of experience.
Our story
With heart, not a production line
Choosing a boarding kennel is a matter of trust. That's why we like to get to know you and your pets personally. Every guest is housed according to character, age and habits: in a group with playmates or on their own, whatever suits them best.
Our farm lies in the middle of a protected landscape and nature reserve, surrounded by meadows and tall trees. It's quiet, green and far away from traffic noise here. A real holiday spot for four-legged friends.
