Dog Boarding in Shepway

“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!”

“Stephen was fantastic with Otto he has a great affinity with dogs and Otto warmed to him straightaway. He made him feel safe and secure and put us at ease knowing Otto was in good hands. His communication was excellent and he made it easy to arrange drop off and pick up. He sent regular updates and considered all Ottos needs. Would definitely recommend and use again.”

“My dog Maisie was with Tamsin for 3 nights. When I picked Maisie up , Tamsin said that she had no problem with her for those few days whatsoever. Tamsin, seems to be a natural in looking after animals. After I took Maisie home, she settled back immediately. So that confirms to me that she was very well for in Tamsin’s home. I have no hesitation in recommending Tamsin to any dog owner whatsoever. I certainly will be using her in the future, that’s if she isn’t booked up of course. Kind regards, James.”

“I honestly couldn't recommend Emma enough 😀 she looked after our lovely little cavapoo puppy Chase, who had a lovely time especially all the play time he got with gorgeous little olive ❤️ Emma made him feel so welcome and loved as if he was her own 🥰 we felt so relaxed knowing he was in good hands as emma keeps you updated and sends lots of pictures and video's which is amazing as we got to see all the fun he was having and all cuddles he was getting. Chase can be very fussy with his food and doesn't tend to eat much, you sort of have to feed him to get him to eat and Emma sat there and feed him a few times from her hand. She really is just incredible with dogs and we cannot thank her enough 😊 Highly Recommend, will definitely use Emma again as chase felt so comfortable, loved and well looked after ❤️”

About: Both Tom and I have been around dogs all our lives. We currently have a 19-year old senior (Edie), and 2 lurchers, Lionel and Bodhi. I have a qualification in Pet First Aid and Dog CPR. I am fully insured by Protectivity. We have extensive experience with senior dog care and sighthounds. We are fortunate to live in close proximity to the Kent Downs, and the beautiful Kent countryside, near lots of woods and walking distance to the coast. We love to get out in the fresh air as much as possible and would welcome your furry friends to come with us. There are also plenty of dog parks near our house, and we have booked private fields in the past which can be arranged. We only take 1 or 2 dogs from the same household, to ensure they get sufficient supervision and snuggles. Walks can be solo or with our boys (who walk very well on lead). Edie likes the quiet life, and mostly sleeps in Tom’s office with him during the day. Lionel and Bodhi are very loving, friendly boys, with very different characters! Lionel loves everyone and wants to play. Bodhi is more laid back, and is happy to watch playtime from the sofa! Both are good at sharing toys and snuggling. As with most sighthounds, after a short burst of energy, they love to snuggle up for the next few hours! Caring for animals is my priority, dog sitting and walking is my full-time focus. I live with my husband, who mostly works from home and has a flexible schedule. Depending on your preference, we can either go out together on group walks with our dogs (2 adults, plus one or two of our dogs, with your dog), or I can take your dog(s) on a solo walk. Whatever works best for your dog. Your dog will be with humans the majority of the time they are here, receiving love, care and attention. A typical day for us, We usually wake around 6am, have cuddles with our dogs and feed them their breakfast. Then we head out for our early morning walk (usually 1 - 2 hours). After that our boys tend to sleep til lunch time. We usually have then playtime, followed by more napping. We then take a second walk before or after their tea. Then toy time and tucked in bed around 9pm. As we have 2 lurchers our garden is very secure with high fences. There are comfy sofas in both rooms on the ground floor, plus dog beds, plenty of room to relax. If you like your dogs to be crated at night, there is room to add these. Our dogs sleep in one room, your dogs would have their own doggy bedroom (ground floor). We also have a room on the first floor for dogs that need a snug quiet space of their own.

“Dilla has stayed a few times with Sylvia now, but on this occasion over night for the first time. Sylvia as always was very accommodating, lots of walks and play time and kept us updated. Thanks so much!”

“Thank you so much Lorna, we felt so comfortable leaving Clemmie with you. Lorna was great for Clem’s sit, we did a meet and greet walk beforehand and we instantly knew Clem would be in good hands. Clem needed to see the vet during her stay and Lorna took her for us and cared for her so attentively. We will 100% book again. Thanks for all the photos and Clemmie’s presents, we are very lucky we found you!”

About: I live in a basement flat that leads out on to the fenced garden. I work from home and often take breaks to let my dog out / go for walks in the park or beach. I have a 2.5yr old spaniel (neutered) who gets on with all dogs and is keen to play but will also happily chill if the other dog isn’t bothered. Always grown up with dogs and had a few myself Work full time at home. I do go into London some days but I have a partner who’s home on those days with my dog. I have autonomy in my job to take breaks often and go for toilet breaks and a long walk during lunch. Front door opens onto decent sized fenced back garden. Local to Radnor park and the sea front. My dog is super friendly & neutered so not territorial. He’s very happy to have friends to play with

“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!”

“I genuinely cannot recommend Alex enough. From the get go him and his partner were so friendly and warming. Communication throughout was flawless from pictures to voice note updates. Anything I asked he replied straight away. My little pup was constantly exercised and his dog Maddy was just the best big sister to little peachy. Really hope I get to use Alex again he was amazing and peach is missing them already !! Very thankful for how well he looked after her and how confident he made me feel that she was in such good hands! 100% recommend him to anyone !!”

“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!”

“Delphine was great, literally save us from a 8 hours trip to take my baby to my local cattery, as he couldn't go with us in the shuttle. She kept him until someone to pick him up and taking him to were he is staying. Lovely person and her kitty was very friendly with my old baby. Totally recommend.”

About: Having grown up with Great Danes, my husband has always been a keen dog lover and we got our first family pet, Scout, a Springador, 5 years ago. He is a lovely natured dog that loves company so we often found ourselves looking after friends and family's dogs as well. I am now fully insured to offer a home away from home doggy retreat so that you can enjoy your precious time away knowing that your fur baby is well looked after and enjoying their own little holiday in a loving and homely environment. If you would like, I am to send photos and updates to you during your time away so that you have full peace of mind and can see what your pooch is getting up to! I work part time from home so I'm always on hand to give attentive care to your little fur baby and they will never be left on their own. Limitless fresh air and cosy evening snuggles will be available! I aim to give your dog a home from home experience... if they sleep on your bed, they sleep on mine! Everything will be bespoke to their preferences, which I will discuss with you in detail before their arrival. I want your doggy to feel like they've had a holiday and can't wait to come back again!

About: Since a child I have always had dogs. Training puppy’s is always something I loved to do. I also have a puppy who’s 7 months currently, His name is Finley. He’s full of energy and loves to go for long walks but equally just relax on the sofa watching tv. I live with my girlfriend who always WFH. I also have 3 days off a week and my shifts vary. Very adaptable on all days. I treat any pet how I treat my own. I love to walk so would always be out and about. Lots of cuddles and attention. Happy to have the dog on the sofa under a blanket. Spacious flat for the dog to be on their bed/blanket etc in our bedroom. Lots of room to play games and equally relax.

“Excellent service. Katie took my last minute booking and looked after Sausage very well indeed. Highly recommended.”

“Olivia was great with Otto and he was at ease with her straightaway. She sent regular updates with photos and videos so we could see how much he had settled in. She is a kind and considerate dog lover and we would book again for Otto. She was also very understanding when we had issues with trains and arrived latter than expected. Thank you Olivia.”

“Left Ashby with Ceri for a few days, and I couldn’t be more satisfied with how it’s gone. Multiple daily updates and plenty of pictures to show how much fun Ashby was having. I’m sure Ashby can’t wait for the next visit. Couldn’t recommend Ceri any higher.”

David C.

“Ivy had a great time staying with Elodie. As a young pup, it was her first time staying away from us and Elodie made her feel really at home and kept us up to date and assured with lots of messages and photos. Thanks for taking such good care of her!”
