Flexible, reliable, friendly K9 Dog Handler Home

Pet care experience

Home from Home with JF K9 Boarding Services. Jose & Rosie provide dog boarding services at their home in Taunton, they are set in two acres of fenced off countryside. Jose is a K9 Handler by profession, him & his best friend, Rex the German Shepherd are NASDU trained. Alongside Rex, Nikita & Rocky are at home to play with their visiting friends. Daily activities are scheduled subject to your pet’s character and requirements – games include object finding; ball games; rope tug & pull. For the more relaxed pet, there is ample indoor & outdoor space to curl up with their carer. Our boarding service is capped at 4 dogs at any time to ensure your pets get the full attention they deserve. All requirements can be met by the team including specific diets, medical requirements & training. JF K9 Boarding Services can provide Oral Medication Administration & Animal First Aid and CPR. We have experience with dogs with specific requirements & have extensive boarding experience with dogs from puppy age to the more senior.

Jose and his team are absolutely wonderful! I was worried about leaving my ridgeback Olive, she is a excitable lump and I am probably too precious about her! Put at immediate ease when we arrived, lovely updates during my dogs stay and when I came to collect her she just want to go back in and play! Amazing amount of land and set up, my dog is booked in already for next year!

The team were brilliant. Agreed to have Eddie for a week at very short notice. Location is brilliant and I know Eddie loved every minute there. The WhatsApp updates are great, and lovely to know your dog is having a great time. Felt bad collecting Eddie, as he had clearly enjoyed himself and had been really cared for by the team. This will now be Eddie’s second home for times we go away.

Honestly we are the most protective dog owners ever! Otto my 4 year old GSP is ex army & as anxiety issues & Edie my 3 year Viszla old bundle of confidence & a real handful… Soo we found Jose , Rosa & Saffy last minute on Rover as we were let down & going to Tenerife . I would not go unless I had 150% confidence that my dogs would be happy. This K9 team are your go to team, they are trained,experienced in dog behaviour, Jose is a K9 specialist & is on top of every single detail. Communication group what’s app photos daily videos , my dogs loved the home from home their own beds , food ,toys & treats. Plus this is totally a safe environment for your dog. They have access to a wonderful garden & a second 2.5 acre orchard & land views over county side.. I WOULD HONESTLY SAY ITS WORTH MY 50 minutes drive for this level of dog care .. I’ve tried dog sitting at home , kennels but we know our dogs need a home from home ,professional trained carers , 24/7 cameras & updates… Don't hesitate if you’ve a nervous, hyper , weird behaviour dog , these guys get animal behaviours & adapt everything around your dog. Jose has dogs but you’re dog is homed separate in a heated conservatory access to garden lounge sofa & fire.. I’m definitely not someone who leaves a review of this standard unless I’m totally confident.. Thanks Jose , Rosie & Saffy xxx

Couldn't have asked for better carers for our 2 dogs. So much land for them to burn off their energy on. Helped, and continue to help us develop our young doberman. Thank you so much. Look forward to seeing you all again.
