About Matthew

Are you looking for an alternative to a commercial boarding kennel? Why not try boarding your dog in a safe, comfortable and loving home from home environment! See my reviews below for more info and feel free to contact me for a no obligation meet and greet to discuss your dog's needs. I have a long experience looking after and loving dogs. Since the age of 5 I have had the privilege to share my life with several family dogs and for the past 12 years I've been the devoted pawrent to Macy, our precious Beagle. Sadly Macy passed away last year and although we don't feel the time is right yet to have another dog, we greatly miss the energy of a canine copmpanion around the house.

For this reason, I have a lot of love to give and will care for your furkid as though she or he were my own so if you're looking for a trustworthy and caring home from home environment for your dog, you've found it! I will treat your dog as part of my family, just as he/she is part of yours. I live in a spacious and comfortable house in Ingress Park, Greenhithe with my partner, who is equally passionate about dogs. I work from a home office, so your dog will be accompanied, kept safe and entertained all day long. As you will see from the pictures, my home is clean and simply furnished, ensuring the safety and comfort of your furkids at all times. I can provide clean bedding and blankets and will of course also be happy to accept your dog's own bedding, toys etc.

There is a medium sized walled garden so plenty of secure outdoor space for playing and relaxing in the fresh air and sunshine! Ingress Park has many outdoor spaces for on-lead walks inlcuding a riverfront walk, a terraced green in front of Ingress Abbey plus a heritage trail through the woods and there are always plenty of other four-legged friends using the park for your dog to interact with and make new friends. There are also country parks just a short drive away which are perfect for a change of scene and new smells to sniff, keeping your dog happy and stimulated. I will walk your dog at least 3 times a day or as often as requested, as per their usual routine. I will feed your dog based on your instructions and ask you provide your dog's own food to avoid any upset due to change of diet. I can also take care of any special dietary requirements or preparation of specific food. I can also administer any basic medications your dog needs.

I can offer basic grooming while your dog stays with me, including bath/shower (as necessary or in accordance with your instructions), daily brushing, ear cleaning and brushing of teeth, as required. I know how it feels to leave your furkid in someone else's care so to put your mind at rest I will send you daily updates with photos and videos of your dog being cared for and enjoying their staycation with me. So no need for you to worry and you can fully enjoy your time away.

Please note that I can only accept dogs who are fully house trained, up to date with annual vaccinations and are on regular tick & flea prevention. I also only accept a maximum of 3 dogs at a time to ensure I can give quality attention and care to your furkids. If you prefer your dog to be the only guest during their stay we can also discuss this.

I am certified in Dog First Aid and emergency canine care.
