Dog Boarding Lewisham

“From our first meet with Alessia, we immediately felt confident and reassured leaving Kimchi in her care. She is clearly an experienced dog owner who is interested in getting to know each dogs individual needs and quirks. Kimchi had a wonderful sleepover with Alessia. She was completely spoiled with lots of lovely walks and cuddles. She will be excited to come back for her longer holiday in a few weeks!”

About: I’m a local dog walker/sitter based in SE London and a lifelong dog lover. With a natural love for animals and an active lifestyle, I provide safe, caring, and reliable walks and stays tailored to your dog’s needs. I bring flexibility, energy, and genuine care to everything I do — your pup is always in safe hands! Both myself and my partner Zach work full time but have flexible working that allows 4 days at home so somone can always be home! Due to this we are available most days, but please reach out in advance so we can ensure this will be possible. Weekends are also available. :) We can offer house sitting at your home while you are away so your pup is kept in the same enviroment but we also offer boarding at our Home. We have a gated communial garden and are on the edge of a park so have lovely walking at our feet.

“Neil took great care of our cocker spaniel Marvin! He can be quite anxious but settled in well with Neil and his lovely two cockers spaniels! We met a few days before boarding and was totally put at ease that was leaving Marv in safe hands! Neil responds quickly to messages and is very flexible and accommodating re drop off and pick up times. Would 100% book again !”

“Thanks Malcolm for minding Rolo. It was Rolo's first experience of an over night away from us since we got him as a 2mth old puppy so understandably we were anxious for him to be settled with a sitter who is both experienced and caring. It was a success and Rolo was well taken care of, plenty of walks and attention from Malcolm. Malcolm is easy going, communicative and critically Rolo seems happy and thriving in his company.”

“This is Lola’s 2nd visit and you can tell how much she loves it with Arron from how excited she gets when we arrive to drop her off! Lola is always so well taken care of and I know she is comfortable and safe with Arron. I always receive updates and pictures which is great. I would 100% recommend Arron to anyone looking for a pet sitter!”

Leanne B.

“We could tell straight away that Leo had been in a loving, caring environment. He was happy to come home, but as soon as he realised Jude and his wife weren’t there, he started crying for them! They took fantastic care of him during our 10 days away and kept us reassured with daily updates on how he was doing. Jude was also incredibly accommodating with both drop-off and pick-up, which made everything so easy for us. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.”

“Dongmei did another fab job at looking after Ralph. Sharing lots of great pics and being so quick to respond with updates. He always seems very happy on his visits 😁”

“Beanie had the time of her life with Jenny and James. Days full of fun and friends and so much love and attention- she was in heaven! After 48 hours of seeing how happy she was, we went ahead and booked her next stay. Thank you both so much, Beanie misses you already!”

Caroline P.

“George had a lovely three weeks with Irina and Andrey. They sent me lots of photos and messages about George and I could see he was so well looked after. I will definitely be booking George in again. Thank you, Irina and Andrey, George will miss you!”

Debra G.

“Ann took fantastic care of my dog, kept me updated with regular pics and was so helpful, kind and reassuring. I have already booked a second stay with her for my dog and I’m so happy I found this lovely kind hearted woman who took extra special care of my special boy!”

Amelia B.

“Larissa was so good with Sammy, sent me lots of photos and kept me up to date on everything. Sammy loved the attention and the beautiful garden they have. A perfect match.”

Rhory D.

“Nicola was so great looking after Lola! We felt very comfortable leaving her overnight, she was really flexible and sent us lots of photos/updates on how Lola was getting on. Would definitely use her again!”

About: Your dog’s safety, comfort and happiness are always my top priority. I have recently completed a Pet First Aid course, where I learned how to recognise and respond to common emergencies such as choking, bleeding, seizures, heatstroke, poisoning and breathing difficulties. I also learned the basic principles of canine CPR, how to assess a dog safely, and when immediate veterinary attention is needed. Although I hope these skills will never be necessary, they help me stay calm and respond appropriately in an emergency. Your dog’s safety and wellbeing will always be my top priorities. I also specialise in caring for puppies and high-energy dogs. I have a young female Black Labrador of my own, whom I have raised and trained myself using positive reinforcement methods. Her training includes house training, lead walking, recall, basic obedience, settling, and impulse control. Caring for and training her has given me valuable hands-on experience with puppy development and adolescent behaviour. If you would like, I can incorporate short, reward-based training sessions throughout your dog's stay to help reinforce good manners and build positive habits. Every session is tailored to your dog's age, personality, and ability, and is always kept fun, positive, and engaging. As I am available full-time, your dog will receive constant supervision, regular toilet breaks, frequent walks, and plenty of one-to-one attention. I don't have another job competing for my focus, allowing me to dedicate my time entirely to the dogs in my care. Mental enrichment is an important part of my approach. While your dog is awake, I provide a variety of activities suited to their individual needs, including snuffle mats, sniffing games, tug play, lick mats, KONGs filled with healthy treats, food puzzles, and other confidence-building activities. These help keep dogs mentally stimulated as well as physically exercised, which is especially important for puppies and active breeds. Dogs are never left unsupervised during play, enrichment activities, or interactions with other dogs. I carefully monitor body language and energy levels to ensure every dog feels comfortable and safe. Before every walk, I double-check leads, collars, and harnesses, and fresh water is always available. I also carefully follow each owner's instructions regarding feeding, medications, routines, and any special requirements. I understand that leaving your dog with someone else is a big decision. Every dog has their own personality, routine, and preferences, so I take the time to get to know them and tailor their care accordingly. Some dogs thrive on training sessions, puzzle toys, and active games, while others are happiest with relaxed walks, plenty of sniffing opportunities, and a quieter day. My goal is always to provide a safe, enriching, and enjoyable environment where each dog feels comfortable, confident, and well cared for. Whether your dog is an energetic puppy eager to learn, a playful adolescent who enjoys plenty of mental stimulation, or a laid-back companion who prefers a slower pace, I'll adapt their day to suit their individual needs. I genuinely enjoy helping dogs build confidence, have fun, and feel at home while you're away, and I aim to give every dog the same level of care, patience, and attention that I give my own. To help you feel confident and connected, I will provide daily photo and video updates, and I am always happy to send additional photos, videos, text updates on demand. You will never have to wonder how your pet is doing. I also recommend a meet & greet prior to boarding to ensure we are a great fit and that your dog feels comfortable in our home. I am available full-time, which allows me to dedicate my attention to the dogs in my care throughout the day. Because I am home most of the time, dogs can enjoy regular toilet breaks, walks, play sessions, enrichment activities, and plenty of companionship. This is especially beneficial for puppies and young dogs who require more frequent supervision, structured routines, and opportunities for training and mental stimulation. I am available on both weekdays and weekends and will do my best to accommodate your dog’s usual schedule. Your dog’s safety, wellbeing, and comfort are my top priorities. I live in a clean, secure one-bedroom flat and have access to a private gated garden within the building, providing a safe outdoor space for regular toilet breaks and fresh air throughout the day. Because I am available full-time, dogs receive close supervision and are never left alone. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding, exercise, medications, and daily routines to ensure consistency and comfort.

“My dog had a lovely stay with Rossy and her partner! Updates put my mind to rest that he was having a lovely time in their care! Thank you so much for taking such good care of him!!”

“Irina and her family took care of our Jack Russel puppy, Mooshdy over the weekend. Irina was amazing, kept us up to date with pictures and videos. Moosh had a great stay!”

Francesca B.

“We couldn’t have wished for Eddie to have a better experience boarding while we were away. Ivan took really great care of him, and kept us informed with lovely daily photos and walk updates. We’ve come home to a happy dog, and wouldn’t hesitate to book again!”

Marianna G.

“Claude had a wonderful weekend. Despite the heatwave he got plenty of early morning exercise and then a nice shady garden to sleep in for the rest of the days. I was updated with plenty of pictures and messages, and met with extremely helpful flexibility when our flight home was delayed. Wouldn't hesitate to use again.”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs around me my whole life. My family in the Lake District have a black lab called Max and a spaniel called Ozzy, who I absolutely adore. I have a real soft spot for all different breeds — I think every single one of them is wonderful in their own way. Whether big or small, young or old, I’m genuinely happy to care for any breed and always do my best to make sure every dog feels comfortable, safe and well looked after. I currently spend three days a week in the office, but I do have flexibility around which days these are. I usually go in on Mondays and Tuesdays, and I’m more flexible with the remaining days during the week, as well as over the weekend. I currently live in a maisonette in Honor Oak I have access to a large nearby park called Blythe Hill, as well as Hilly Fields—both perfect for long, enjoyable dog walks. The flat itself is spacious, comfortable, and very safe for a dog, with plenty of room to move around and feel at home. I’m more than happy for dogs to relax on the furniture, and when we’re in, there’s ample space for them to play. I’d also really enjoy taking them out on regular walks and making sure they get plenty of fresh air and exercise.

“Eleanor was absolutely fantastic with our slightly anxious puppy. Mahler had a great time, and will definitely be staying with them again! Logistics were super easy, and Eleanor was lovely throughout.”

“Jihyun is amazing! Every time I go on holiday, Kasper stays with her and I never have to worry. She takes such good care of him and always keeps me updated with photos and little check-ins. Kasper absolutely loves her! I can tell he’s super comfortable and happy there. I wouldn’t leave him with anyone else!”
