From Croydon to Richmond, London owners send their dogs to Kent for the space they can’t get in town: long walks, a garden and a calm home routine. Tom collects from your door and brings your dog back at the end of the stay.

What dog owners say
“Our golden retriever, Maverick, absolutely loves boarding with Tom – he greets Tom with pure joy every time he sees him! Tom always does such a good job taking care of Maverick and keeping him engaged, and we always come back to a happy and tired dog.”
“We met Tom through dog training and he was honestly the best trainer ever. He would send us 5-minute videos showing exactly what he was doing with Bisous, whether it was lead pulling, recall, or even things like sit and stay, and coached us through everything.”
