Where tails wag and hearts are happy

Two small curly-haired dogs, one dark brown and one light tan, are resting on a blue pillow on a dark gray couch inside a living room. The dark brown dog is perched on the back of the couch, looking toward the camera, while the light tan dog is lying on the pillow, looking slightly away.

Our Story

Founded by husband and wife Maxine and Al, devoted dog parents to Tilly, the toy poodle and Pip, the cavapoochon, MAXAL is built on love, trust and a lifetime of caring for our four-legged friends. What started as helping our friends and family has now become a boutique retreat in the heart of Broadstone for small and medium dogs. We offer cosy sleepovers, fun-filled playdates, gentle spa sessions and tailored walks - all in groups of no more than five.

Here every pup is loved like family, never left alone and cared for like they are one of our own. From cuddles on the sofa to adventures outdoors, we make sure tails wag and hearts are happy.

  • Coco had a wonderful stay with Max! Max has a fantastic, safe and loving set up in her home and I fully trusted her with Coco in her care. She provided lovely updates whilst we were away and all of her dogs welcomed Coco warmingly into their pack. I will definitely be using Maxs services in the future and highly recommend.

  • Our lovely dog always has the best time at MaxAl's, there are lots of dogs to play and socialise with. Am feeling much more at ease knowing he's not alone when we are at work all day.
