Dog Boarding Salcombe

“Octavia took wonderful care of Biscuit for 10 days! Many lovely updates with pics and videos of a very happy, well looked-after pup. I don’t think she wanted to come home in the end! It truly felt like Biscuit was welcomed into the family with Octavia and co, and I’m sure we’ll be trusting her to care for Biscuit again in the future. Thanks again for everything! x”

“Trina was a lovely calming influence on our excitable puppy. Her home is a perfect retreat for dogs and Trina’s dog little Tilly is a great companion to prevent your furry friend from feeling homesick. Trina really understands dogs and I can wholeheartedly recommend her as an excellent host for homing your dog. We really look forward to visiting again soon.”

About: I've been around dogs most of my life and have owned several dogs. My most recent dog, a Springer Spaniel, was with me for 13 years. Since he passed, I have looked after several of my friend's dogs. I am also registered with Guide Dogs as a Puppy Fosterer and have looked after lots of their dogs as well. I am retired so have lots of time to devote to your dog. I love going for long walks and exploring my local area. I also enjoy sea swimming. I have a fenced garden and 2 doors to my main front door offering extra security when I have visitors. I have plenty of space for a crate if needed.

“Was slightly nervous learning our dog as she is older and it was the first time we have left her not with family but was super happy with Lucy and her family. They looked after her and made her part of the family for her four night stay, had loads of photos and videos to put me at ease. Have just collected Molly and she is settled and happy. Would absolutely use Lucy and her family again.”

“I was nervous to leave my boy with a dog sitter but I had no reason to worry at all. He has clearly had the best time being looked after by Nicky In her home. Regular updates of how he was getting on, and was great for him to make a new doggy friend too with Nicky’s own dog. I will be in touch next time he (I) need a holiday!!”

“The first boarding attempt! It turned out to be that Kai, who normally takes longer to settle in less familiar places, slept through the night, while Jet, who is normally easy-going, had trouble calming down and falling asleep. Alison was very patient, and correctly analysed that Jet (the brightest and the most sensitive between the boys) realising that my husband and I were not going to be with him during the night was the cause. I was glad that Alison gave me her honest opinions. She also showed good undersanding of the boys' behaviour and showed great care for them. Thank you Alison, and have a good rest! Hopefully, it'll be better next time!”

“Mark looked after Polo for 10 days while I was on holiday. We arranged a meet and greet beforehand and I knew as soon as I met him my dog would be in good hands. Mark’s love for dogs is obvious and Polo seemed to have a natural affinity with him. Mark’s communication was great, he kept me updated throughout and sent lots of photos of Polo’s adventures. He was also really flexible, which was really appreciated since I had some travel disruption on my way home. Overall Polo had a great time and I would happily leave him with Mark again!”

About: I've always been a bit dog obsessed from a young age and have had a number of dogs myself, including an English Setter rescue from Croatia who'd never lived in a home before & was anxious around many dogs, excluding my lovely Labradoodle, who was his safety blanket, so a lot of love, patience & training was required to give him his best final years of life. I currently have an extremely friendly & sociable Clumber Spaniel X bitch, 16 months old who loves life & would welcome any dog in her home for a day or sleepover/s. So, recent experience of older dogs who just want comfort, company, cuddles & a short stroll to a manic puppy who didn't have an off switch...which I've since found! I live within walking distance to fields & the coastline & work from home with a secure garden so can offer your dog a little holiday whilst you can enjoy yours guilt free knowing that they are happy too! I currently work part time from home, apart from Thursdays when I volunteer for Animals in Distress for 4hrs, so have plenty of time for walks & play time. I have a fenced in secure garden & have a large crate available for your dog if they feel more secure in a crate and they can enjoy the company of my very well socialised dog Clemmie. Should I ever need to pop out I have a Blink camera so that I can always keep eyes on!

“Bridget and fam were wonderful hosts for our puppy (17 months) Angus. He loved playing with their older dog and Bridget clearly took great care of Angus because he slept for a full day after we returned. We are so grateful that we found such a nice family to care for Angus, it made our vacation much more relaxing knowing that he was in great hands.”

“Ela was lovely! My little mocha really felt at home with her and her family. I was sent regular updates pictures and videos putting me at ease while we were away. Highly recommend and will be using her regularly for future doggy sleepovers 🥰”

“We are extremely pleased that we found Rhys on Rover. Rhys was very accommodating, helpful and friendly. Rhys sent us photos throughout our Cocker’s stay, and it was clear that our boy felt at home with him. He was well and truly worn out when we picked him up from all the wonderful walks Rhys took him on. We are very grateful to Rhys and certainly be using him again in the future.”

“Hannah & Jordan took such wonderful care of Woody, he has had a brilliant time with multiple walks per day in different locations, swims, brushes and cozy sofa time and cuddles. We felt really bad that we couldn't bring Woody away with us and were nervous leaving him but Hannah & Jordan sent us lots of photos and messages each day. They were also flexible when we were delayed by an hour. It feels as though Woody has had a holiday and has been so well cared for! We would definitely recommend Hannah & Jordan.”

About: I have had dogs throughout my life and have always loved being around them. Over the years, I have gained plenty of experience caring for dogs, including providing daycare and dog-sitting services for a variety of breeds, ages, and sizes. I am confident looking after dogs with different personalities and needs, and I understand the importance of giving them plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship. I enjoy taking dogs on regular walks in the park near my home, as well as longer walks through the surrounding countryside, giving them the opportunity to explore and stay active. I have a friendly dog of my own who loves having other dogs around for company. He is very sociable, playful, and enjoys making new friends, which helps create a welcoming and comfortable environment for visiting dogs. I am passionate about providing a safe, caring, and enjoyable experience for every dog I look after, treating them as if they were my own. I am available throughout weekends and have plenty of time to dedicate to caring for your dog. We are usually at home or out enjoying adventures with our own dog, Norman, so any visiting dogs will have lots of company, attention, and opportunities for exercise. Whether it’s relaxing at home, enjoying playtime, or exploring the outdoors on walks, I will make sure every dog feels comfortable, happy, and well cared for. I love being able to give dogs the time, care, and companionship they need while their owners are away. We have a spacious three-bedroom house with plenty of room for dogs to feel comfortable and relaxed during their stay. Dogs are welcome throughout the house, including on the furniture and even in the bed, so they can enjoy all the home comforts and feel part of the family. We also have a secure garden where dogs can safely play, relax, and enjoy some outdoor time. Our own dog, Norman, is very friendly and loves having other dogs around. He enjoys making new friends and helps create a fun, welcoming environment for any visiting dogs. Our home is a safe, friendly, and dog-loving space where your dog can settle in, enjoy plenty of attention, and feel right at home.

About: I've grown up around dogs, so having muddy paws around the house feels pretty normal to me. My grandad was a well respected vet, which meant I was lucky enough to meet dogs of all breeds, ages and personalities, including plenty of rescue dogs! I have just moved out of my parents house which has meant I no longer have my two beloved border terriers to keep me on my toes! I work from home full time so your dog won’t be left counting down the hours until you’re back. They’ll have plenty of company, lunch time walks and lots of cuddles of course! I work from home full time, so I’m lucky to have plenty of time during the day to look after your furry friend and keep them company! My partner also has a flexible job, which means we would happily adapt to their routine and make sure they are well looked after. I’m active and love spending time outdoors, so getting out for walks is something I really enjoy! Whether they’re up for a longer walk or just a good explore of the local area, I’d love to have them join me and become part of my day. We have a fenced garden with lots of room for your dog to run around and enjoy some outdoor time! There are plenty of walking spaces nearby, including a forest 5 minutes walk away, so there are lots of options for longer walks and shorter strolls. We’re not a strict household, if your dog is allowed on the sofa at home, they’ll be more than welcome to relax on ours too! We’ll always try to keep them to their usual routine and make sure they feel comfortable while they’re with us.
