Dog Boarding Buckland

“Sophie and her family are just the best. Our two dogs have now stayed with Sophie for their second time and we all just feel it's like visiting family. Highly recommend.”

“Absolutely brilliant with my boys. Great communication and I felt so comfortable leaving my boys with Mark. He provided regular updates and photos and my boys loved staying with him so much so that the little one was reluctant to leave. Totally and highly recommend.”

“Selma took time to get our rescued young GSD used to her by arranging two meet and greets. He was immediately relaxed in her home environment and with the calm energy Selma projects. Such a relief to find such a lovely lady to trust with our dog. Thank you!”

“It was Stephens 1st time having a rottweiler and although initially nervous he did a lot of research into the breed ready for the first overnight. Ronnie is not quite 2 years old and was unsure about what was happening, he didn't really settle as well as I would have hoped. He came back the next day and slept until the evening, he was absolutely shattered. I am not sure Stephen could have done anymore to settle him, it just wasn't a match. I think Ronnie would be better off being looked after in his own home or by people/family he knows well.”

“Genevieves calm mannor made her a perfect match for our excitable German shepherd. offers a comfortable , relaxed and spacious home from home environment with large garden meaning she can easily accommodate larger dogs like ours . Helped us out last minute - when our original sitter let us down with an hours notice, she came straight over after I messaged. Genevieve is a calm , confident and caring sitter and we can't thank her enough for helping us out so last minute”

“I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter. From the moment I left my dog with Deni, I felt completely reassured knowing he was in such caring and capable hands. Deni kept me updated throughout, treated him like her own, and clearly paid so much attention to his routine and needs. When I picked him up, he was happy, relaxed, and clearly very well looked after, which says everything. It’s such a relief finding someone you can genuinely trust with your dog, and I would recommend Deni to absolutely anyone looking for reliable, kind, and attentive care. Thank you again for taking such amazing care of Murphy!”

“My dog Lettie had a great stay with Abi - she has a great garden and large fields nearby for walks - she had a great time and we will be booking again 🥰”

Emma S.

“My young staffy had a great seaside holiday with Tamara! I was kept updated during his visit and it clear he was looked after very well. He even made some new friends 🥰 I now have a very tired and content pup.”

Verity K.

“Isabelle was absolutely fantastic, Mabel loved her time there she didn’t want to come home! Beautiful home, really great communication and everything was friendly and easy. Isabelle sent lots of updates and I’m definitely going to be in touch next time Mabel needs a home where she’s loved while we’re away!”

About: Derek and I have only ever had rescue dogs, not puppies. We appreciate they have had a rough start and need time and patience and lots of encouragement to feel safe and comfortable. We have do looked after multiple friends dogs over the years and have decided that we could help others to have a decent break/work/holiday knowing that their loved furry friend is in capable, safe care. We have rescued older dogs as they get overlooked. We have had to house train kenneled dogs - it’s been a challenge!! But worth it 🤩 I am currently available daily and will have plenty of time with your doggo. My husband works from home so there is always someone around. Walks in our local woods and playtime on the garden will be frequent. Chill time is also important. Dogs are allowed on the sofa so will feel welcome if that’s their thing😊 We have a secure fenced garden. We have a 13 year old Parsons terrier- Steve - he is chilled and loves dog company. We have a lovely wooded walk close by which is shady on those hot days. I will be happy to send pics/ updates of your pooch as often as you feel will be helpful to ensure you are also happy your dog is happy 😊 we can arrange that when we meet. Our home becomes your pets home for the duration of the stay. We will discuss your preferences so that we can maintain the routines/ boundaries that you have in place for your dog. Husband Derek works from home so there is always someone around

“Cherri was excellent with my Dog Arnie - She responded really quickly to any messages I sent, arranged a meet and greet which put my mind at rest as she is located in a lovely village with amazing walks 5 mins from her house. I am sure if Arnie could talk (although he is very vocal as Cherri found out !) he would say that he had an amazing time being pampered, fed and walked for the days he was there - was definitely a home from home experience - I would have no hesitation in booking Arnie in with Cherri again in the future.”

About: Hi! I’m your dog’s dedicated "Aunty," offering a reliable, calm, and trustworthy home boarding experience. Having recently lost my own beloved dog, I know how vital peace of mind is. I promise to love and care for your furry family member just like my own, ensuring they are settled so you can truly relax. As a full-time remote worker, I am always here to supervise. Your dog will enjoy free reign of my secure home and garden, alongside exciting walks through our beautiful countryside, north downs and Folkestone Warren to name but a few. To keep minds active, I provide fun sniffing games and mental puzzles, balanced with endless snuggles and quiet downtime. The Details: Requirements: Dogs must be house-trained (puppies welcome and accommodated!). Guests must tolerate cats, as my independent resident kitty keeps to herself. Peace of Mind: I offer initial meet-and-greets, plus discounted short "practice stays" before longer visits to ensure a perfect fit. Spaces are limited for a truly tailored, boutique experience. Get in touch today to chat about your dog's next stay! 🐶❤️ I work full time from home. Your dog will have free run of my house and garden. You tell me your routine and I will do my best to follow it. Most likely a good morning walk before breakfast, another around lunchtime and an evening stroll around the block. Obviously in extreme heat or torrential rain I will be a little flexible. I don't mind a muddy dog as long as your dog doesn't mind a bath! I have a fenced garden and he /she will be able to spend as much time outside as they chose or ask to go. They are welcome on furniture and I am happy for them to sleep upstairs with me. I just want them to feel safe and loved whilst they are here.

“Christine and her husband are both very warm and friendly people who welcomed Barney with open arms. He was very happy to run straight up to them for a fuss, and clearly felt right at home. I received updates from Christine while we were away, and when we arrived to collect Barney he was very much part of their home, and you could tell he was very happy there. Christine was very careful to follow our care notes, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her. In fact, I've made a second booking!”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs and various pets throughout my life! I have experience with both large and small breeds of dogs as well as cats. Growing up we always had dogs in the house, and never less than 4! Because I’ve grown up around animals my entire life, I would say I have quite the love for them along with the experience for caring for them. Because I’ve been given the opportunity to care for dogs from young to old, energetic to reserved my entire life, I know how to accommodate to the dogs needs and be knowledgable enough to know what the dog needs most. Wether it’s a shorter walk due to arthritis or more physical time outside to burn off some energy, you can be certain your dogs needs will be met and they will be loved on! I work fully remote and from home. I go on walks daily in the morning, afternoon and evening, so I am happy to bring along your dog or visit your home to take them on walks :-) All plants/ Potential hazards are always removed before welcoming a dog or cat into my home. Dogs will be walked with a lead unless otherwise specified by owner!

About: I have taken care of pets my whole life. I am the go to pet sitter when family and friends are away. Dogs, cats and other pets are always welcome in my home and I love animals. I am regular walker and am not squeamish when it comes to cleaning up mess. Calm and hyper dogs are welcome always. Their needs are the most important when it comes to caring for an animal so if its too hot for a walk then we stay in and play indoors or in the shaded garden if its raining and they want to go out ive got a raincoat I am not afraid of rain and if your pet loves to get covered in mud im not afraid to get dirty and I am more than happy to give them a bath. I am available thursday to sunday unless I have special things planned but I will give everyone more than enough notice to find extra care Im currently working part time and the rest of the week involves park days and beach days with my little boy so any pet care can be provided. I am also a jogger if your pet likes regular running and I have an accessible large crate for any sized dog if needed I have a fenced garden and 3 very friendly cats who have been trained to behave around dogs as they are outdoor pets. I have dog food wet and dry always available and pets are allowed on the furniture as long as they are house trained

About: Hey, my name is Jay. I have a Black Lab called Mabel and a German Shep called Martha. Both of whom are well behaved and trained myself / in training. I offer a variety of services and am blessed to have lot's of facilities to my, and your pet's, advantage. Including a Land Rover kitted out for transport should it be required, as well as a stunning location based at the bottom of the White Cliffs of Dover allowing for lot's of walks along the cliffs, into the fields or along the beach and even a swim! Alternatively we can go directly into town. My property is also big enough to have a very private garden with 6+ foot walls surrounding the place ensuring it is very secure. I also house a parrot, variety of fish and in the past have had multiple hamsters and too many guinea pigs and rabbits to count! I love animals and would be honoured to take care of yours! P.S - as a bonus I provide quality photography of your pet if requested, free of charge! Just a little extra for booking with me. You can see some of my imagery on my profile! :) I’ve recently taken a significant amount of time away from my regular work to care for my own dogs and dedicate my time fully to animal care. This means I have a very flexible schedule and can give your pet my full attention, day or night, alongside my own animals. I provide a safe, structured, and highly attentive environment for every pet in my care, whether in my own home or the owner’s home. At my home, pets are looked after in a secure property with a large private garden enclosed by 6+ foot walls, ensuring safety at all times. Dogs are never left unattended for long periods, and I am able to give them constant supervision and interaction throughout the day. They have access to regular walks tailored to their needs, including local field walks, coastal walks along the White Cliffs of Dover, and beach outings where appropriate. I also ensure they have a calm space to rest and settle comfortably inside the home. When caring for pets in an owner’s home, I maintain their usual routine as closely as possible to reduce stress and keep them comfortable in familiar surroundings. This includes feeding schedules, exercise routines, playtime, medication if required, and plenty of companionship. Across all services, I prioritise safety, consistency, and individual attention. I have experience with a range of animals and treat every pet as if they were my own, ensuring they are well cared for, stimulated, and happy throughout my time with them.
