ABOUT US

Sarah's Pawsome Dog Retreat & Training

Sarah's Pawsome Dog Retreat is situated in the beautiful village of Nayland, just north of Colchester, in an area of outstanding natural beauty. If you are looking for dog boarding in the Colchester area we are ideally placed.

We have the most amazing walks on our doorstep and feel very lucky to live here. We have a big enclosed garden with patio and shingle area and mature plants and trees. We have a two gated system of entry to keep all dogs safe.

I have a husband, Carl and two children who are 9 and 5 years old and have been around dogs since birth. They are very dog savvy and love having visitors and the dogs seem to love them in equal measure! If you're concerned about your dog staying with children please get in touch and you can meet them when we do the meet and greet to check you're happy.

I own a lively, cheeky working Cocker Spaniel!

He is happy with other dogs, but again please contact me if you're unsure about your dog being with him. At the meet and greet we do it very calmly and carefully to check they're all happy together.
 
We treat your dog as one of our own. They are loved and cared for just as they are by you and you're very welcome to bring anything to make your dogs stay perfect.
 
We ask you bring their own bed, food, lead and toys. We must see an up to date vaccination certificate where the vaccines have been given at least two weeks prior to your dogs stay or a titre test confirmation. We have paperwork that must be signed before your dog stays and all bookings must be confirmed by Sarah beforehand.
 
Dogs from multi households are welcome and will stay together in the biggest room. All rooms are cleaned and checked daily and kept in great condition for the comfort of your dog.
 
We do a meet and greet for all dogs with all members of the family present so you feel confident and comfortable your dog is in great hands.
 
We take puppies from two weeks after their second vaccinations when they're allowed to go out and any training requirements are discussed so the puppy doesn't lose any continuity while you're away.
 
We also do day care from 8am to 8pm so if you need to go to work or out for the day you're dog is very welcome to come but not stay the night.
 
Please get in touch with any requirements you may have and we'll be more than happy to discuss. We look forward to meeting you and your gorgeous dog soon!
