I offer basic training, a huge amount of daily walks, and playing and chasing with my regular guests. You can rely on me, be it for a few days or a few weeks. I also provide day care so drop them off with me for the day. For dogs boarding here, just bring food and bedding. Long Stays? No problem at all!.
Whether your dogs fancy exploring Dulwich Woods, Crystal Palace Park, Beckenham Woods, Mayow, Cator and South Norwood country parks, or a canal side ramble for a swim, you can be certain that they will return fit, healthy, and happy from their holiday!. All guests should first have spent a day and night here before the booking and approve the facilities.

Services
They have the run of the house, front and back garden, and there are no cats, small children or tiny dogs to endure. Usually only one dog boards at a time, or with your consent, another daycare guest with whom I know they would get on; mostly my regular labs, lurchers, and retrievers who love nothing more than a good tug of war, chase, and wrestle.
I am not a dog walker who has eight dogs or more and wanders at the pace of the slowest whilst welded to a mobile phone like all the others seem to! (No doubt spending most of the time driving the dogs around in a overcrowded van rather than walking them.) I generally don't have more than two dogs at a time.

Oona’s first stay with Rupert couldn’t have gone better. Rupert messaged and sent videos to keep us updated during her stay which was really reassuring. We returned to a very happy dog who is looking forward to her next holiday soon!

We have a very friendly and energetic cocker spaniel lab cross named Dino. We were really lucky to find Rupert once we moved to the area, and Rupert is now our go-to pet sitter. Rupert is a dog whisperer and you can tell he loves dogs and that they listen to him! Dino loves going to Rupert’s, he literally is pulling so hard as soon as we get near Rupert’s place (and quickly forgets about us too). Dino comes home tired and happy and we can go about our day/travels knowing he’s having more fun than he normally would 😅. Rupert also picks his dogs carefully so that he knows the dogs will have

Rupert took great care of Luna our year old playful but energetic cross breed. We had a peaceful weekend and she had a lively time. Would recommend Rupert’s to anyone who would like a peace of mind break. Will do this on a regular basis.
Thank you so much Rupert

We have a really lovely but very anxious rescue dog from Cyprus who is especially scared of men but he warmed to Rupert so quickly and has a great time when he goes to stay with him. It’s easy to see that Rupert really loves dogs and goes out of his way to make them feel comfortable and ensure they have as much fun as possible.

Rupert treats Sid as his own. You can immediately tell that he loves dogs and understands them too. We’re still learning to be dog owners but have no worries leaving her with Rupert all day. She comes back tired and happy and better for her playtime with Rupert’s pals!

Rupert's Rambles is brilliant. Rupert is such a lovely man and he clearly loves the dogs. Our dog Murphy gets so excited when he see's we are outside his front door and always comes home suitable exhausted from a day of walks and fun. 5 star!

My dog Sky has been visiting Rupert once a week for a few weeks now. She always has a great time socialising with other dogs and going on adventures. At the end of each day we always collect a tired and happy dog. Rupert is very accommodating to the care we need and trust him to give Sky all the attention she needs!

Micky was a rather nervous and neglected lurcher from a rescue centre who hadn't been suitable for previous dog walkers, who took him out in a van with a large group of other dogs. Since he has been staying with Rupert he has benefited from being in a small group of dogs in a home environment and has gained in confidence. He is now best doggy mates with another of Rupert's regular guests and rather disappointingly for me he often looks like he doesn't want to come home after a day of fun with Cookie and the other dogs! Rupert is relaxed, reliable and flexible, just want I needed. Happy to recommend
