From the A2 to the Kent countryside

South East London is the quickest part of the capital to reach from Ashford, straight down the A2 and M20. For the length of their stay your dog swaps pavements and parks for fields, woodland walks and a quiet home.

Southwark is one of the South East London areas Tom covers, alongside Canary Wharf & South London, Bexley and Bromley.

Getting to Paws from Southwark

I’m based in Ashford, roughly 75 minutes from Southwark up the M20 and A2 outside rush hour. Most London owners have me collect and drop off, so your dog never needs a train or a taxi.

“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.”
Delle Chan · Kent · Maverick (Golden Retriever)
“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.”
Freddie Berridge · Kent · Bisous
