Your dog stays with me, not in a kennel

Dog day care and boarding in Bexley

I look after dogs from my own home — days mostly out walking, evenings indoors like any other night. If you’d rather meet before deciding anything, so would I. That’s how every booking starts.

Who looks after them

Just me — every walk, every stay

Before anything is booked

We meet first

Any dog considered

No breed, size or age limits

Three ways I can help

All of them in and around my own home in Bexley. Boarding is never in kennels, and day care runs 10am to 3pm, seven days a week.

    Day care

    10am to 3pm, seven days a week. The walk is the point of the day — my home is the base in between.

    Holiday boarding

    Longer stays while you are away, keeping your dog's own routine as closely as I can. Holiday dates fill up, so ask early.

What it costs

I quote for the dog in front of me

There is no price list, because no two bookings are the same — the dates, the number of nights and what your dog needs all change the answer. Tell me what you are looking for and I will give you a straight figure.

What I ask of you

Nothing, up front

No breed or size restrictions, no age limits, and no list of conditions to meet before I will take your dog. Once a booking is agreed I will ask for the practical details — your vet, how your dog is fed, anything they are on — but that is so I can look after them properly, not a hurdle to clear first.

What happens when you get in touch

  1. Send an enquiry

    Tell me about your dog, the dates you need, and where in the borough you are.

  2. We meet first

    You and your dog meet me before anything is booked. No one is committed to anything at that point.

  3. The booking is arranged

    Once we have agreed the dates and what your dog needs, I will confirm the cost and the details.

Who looks after your dog

I’m Tom. I look after dogs in Bexley — day care through the week and at weekends, and boarding for the nights and holidays when you can’t take them with you. Your dog stays in my house, on the sofa or wherever they settle, never in a kennel block.

No conditions, no breed or age limits — just one ask: we meet before anything is booked, so you can see exactly who you’re handing your dog to. Once a stay is agreed, the practical details go on the dog details form.

Looking for someone to look after your dog?

Tell me about your dog, roughly when you need me, and whereabouts in the borough you are. I’ll come back to you about availability and what it would cost.

Rather email? jq0917@gmail.com

Town or postcode — I cover the whole borough.

Boarding is date-driven — even a guess helps.
