Pet care experience
A loving home away from home
I have lived with dogs my entire life and can provide a loving home for friendly dogs to come and play. Dogs will have constant access to a 6ft fenced and maintained 120 ft dog friendly garden. Your dog will be looked after as a member of our family with love and care.

Ratings and reviews
Delighted to leave a 5* review for Nicola, Brenda and all at Doggy Dream Garden Retreat. What a wonderful place full of special people, lovely pets, care and kindness. Monty adored his time there and all of the new friends he made, furry and otherwise! Can't recommend highly enough and feel so lucky to have found them.
Nicola and her family took such good care of Toby, it was his first time staying with a sitter and Nicola put our minds at ease - he was well loved :) thank you again!
Dante had a fantastic time at Nicola’s and he was well looked after . He seems to be missing the doggy friends !
Amazing, took such good care of Rosie, tended to her specific needs, and sent lots of updates. Would absolutely love for Rosie to stay again - thank you!
Nicola and her family were just perfect for Teddy. He has been living his best life with them for the last week and I can’t recommend Nicola enough. Not only did she agree to take Ted super last minute (we were let down by friends ) but sent us regular pictures and updates so I knew he was ok. In fact he was better than ok! We are back home now and I think he’s missing Nicola, her mum and daughter and all the new doggy friends he’s made! 🥰
Exemplary care - thank you so much!

Schedule
I work from home Monday to Friday and there is always an adult in the house to provide full attention and play to any dog. Just a 10 minute walk to the train station. I hold a Dog First Aid and CPR with Dog Training Certification. I hold my own Dog Boarding and Day Care Insurance Policy. I have completed the Ofqual Regulated Level 3 Professional Day Care and Boarding Certification.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
No dog will ever be left alone or unattended at any time. I can follow a preferred care schedule of care if required. I will ensure dogs stay on leads at all times during walks.
A typical day
I really enjoy having dogs in the house with me and appreciate their love and friendship. I have plenty of time all day for play in the house and garden and can provide walks to the local parks. I love making use of the numerous beaches around Ramsgate and all the dog friendly cafes. I try to keep to your dogs normal routine so it is a home from home experience.
