Doggy Day Care Shepway

“We booked Jazz to look after our sausage whilst we was working in the area. Jazz was very friendly and responsive so we immediately felt comfortable leaving Frankie with her. When we came to collect Frankie he was extremely happy and it was evident he’d had a great time with Jazz! Thanks so much - would highly Recommend.”

About: Hi, I’m Em! I live by the sea with my incredibly sweet and friendly Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, Olive. I can offer you the kind of care I provide my own dog - which is kind, patient, fun and responsible! I have completed a Canine Emergency Response course and carry a dog first aid kit with me when not at home, and have been able to help other people’s dogs in a crisis. I am calm, caring and vigilant. I will treat every dog as the wonderful unique characters they are, taking the time to get to know them and respecting their preferences. I am a good communicator and will be as flexible and helpful as I possibly can. I want you and your dog(s) to have a great experience so that they bound up to me in excitement - that’s what makes it worthwhile! I work from home most of the week and usually have quite a bit of flexibility to work around your needs… Weekends are also possible with notice! In front of my house is a big lovely park, and behind my house is the beach - a doggie heaven! Inside my house there are some stairs to get up (I can carry dogs under 10kg if needed) and then my house is free for the dogs to explore. I have it set up so there are no plants or items that can be chewed, and I have an abundance of dog beds and toys. The dogs are welcome on my sofas and beds as they wish, and I have a shower and bathtub with specialist dog products should they need a refresh! I have cooling fans and open the balcony doors in the summer, and in the winter I have heated blankets and heaters. There are high quality treats should they be allowed - but will follow any instructions for feeding carefully. I provide toilet breaks and walk my own dog 4 times a day (20+ mins a time) which is roughly every 5 hours, but I can adapt to another dogs routine if needed!

About: Both Tom and I have been around dogs all our lives and absolutely adore them. We live with our 2 lurchers, Lionel and Bodhi in Folkestone. 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, sighthounds, and are used to looking after dogs of all sizes and personalities. 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 for dogs in our care, so they can really have a good run and play off lead. We only take up to two dogs at a time, as long to ensure they get sufficient supervision and snuggles. Walks can be solo or with our boys (who walk very well on lead). Lionel and Bodhi are very loving, friendly boys, with very different characters! Lionel loves everyone and wants to play. Bodhi is more laidback 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.

“Steve walked Holly down the beach and around Hythe's golf course. Steve has been great at keeping me updated. Holly had a great day with him and we look forward the next time we'll need doggy day care. Totally recommend!”

About: I have my own dog, a small bichon male neutered dog. Friendly, loves other dogs. He is a rescue from the Canterbury’s dogs trust, so I understand the challenges that come with this. I’ve previously owned a Labrador who I cared for in her old age. I have also looked after other people’s dogs through ‘borrow-my-dogggy’. I have a solid understanding of dog behaviour and my mother in law is a dog trainer. I am a freelancer and work remotely, so my schedule is very open. I am flexible and happy to come to you if required and within an ok distance. I have a fenced garden and one friendly 3 year old bichon. I have a car if needed for walks, collection, drop off or vet appointments. I live in a 3 bedroom house.

“Sylvia is a great sitter, I couldn’t recommend her enough. Albie has been going to Sylvia regularly for the past year and he is always happy to go. Thank you so much for taking such good care of Albie over the last year. It has been so good to know that he is always safe and happy with you. We’re going to miss you.”

“Shane is fantastic, I would have no hesitation leaving Hendrix in his care again. His gorgeous dog Moose is so friendly, relaxed and tolerant. Shane provided me with updates throughout the day and was flexible with pickup when I was running a little early. Hendrix came home knackered which I always think is a great sign of a fulfilling time. Thanks Shane, appreciate you!”

“I was very lucky to find Christine and that she was available to look after Lollie. It was short notice and really helped me out whilst I attended a funeral & family gathering. Lollie can be sensitive but I knew immediately Christine and her husband would be kind and gentle with her. Lollie was as happy as I’ve seen her going to someone she doesn’t know. Photos of Lollie were sent to reassure she was absolutely fine. Thank you so much.”

“Holly had the best time with Olivia. Olivia gave her a great day outside and plenty of fun activities. Holly is a shy dog, but by the end of the day, Olivia won her trust to the point of getting some cuddles!”

“My dogs have been very well looked after today with Selma while my family and I were at my mother's funeral. Very difficult day but nice to know that the dogs were settled.”

“Can’t recommend Victoria & family enough. We were visiting the area for a couple of nights & needed dog care for one of the days so we could explore without worrying about leaving Noodle alone all day. Victoria looked after Noodle very well, kept us updated & looks like he had a great time. Thank you ☺️”

About: I am exactly who I would want to leave my dog with or have my dog walked by as I put dogs in front of humans 😂 My small Munsterlander is 4 now and I’ve had her since a pup, we’ve recently moved back to the UK from Spain and I’m out with her on big ball playing walks 4/5 times per day as she is super active and I need the outside time too so I thought this would be perfect for me to get a bit of pocket money and be around my favourite animals at the same time. I have trained my girl since a pup and understand all aspects of dog training and how they operate in general so I’m happy to have dogs off the lead although at the same time happy to walk them on a long lead :) Walking wise I’ll have mine with me and she’s off the lead running chasing the ball in the local fields etc so any dog can join in and we’ll have a great time if you want me to have your dog overnight I’ll make it so they don’t even want to come back to you which is exactly what I would expect and hope for if I was to leave my baby! How will I do that? 🤔 I’ll make sure they have the best walks ever so we’re all chilled for cozy cuddle time and I’ll cook up something meaty for them super nutritional and make sure they sleep right next to me by the bed :) I actually do nothing all day everyday apart from look after my best mate (Maddie in my photo) since I’ve moved back here to the UK I find myself out 4/5 times per day with my dog so would be the exact same to look after another doggy :) There is no escape as we’re in a flat so no safety concerns in that sense this also encourages me even more to make sure once my doggy has chilled for a couple hours we’re back outside playing again as there isn’t a garden.

“Pippa loved the time she spent with Laura and was excited to go back the second day. We received regular updates and videos of Pippa playing, which helped us relax after leaving her for the first time.”

Thanks so much !”

“Ceri was amazing with our 6 month old cocker spaniel on his first ever day of daycare! She took him out for walks and to play and sent regular updates and photos. Odin came home happy and tired 😁 I would highly recommend Ceri and will definitely ask her to look after our boy again.”
