I'm Jo and I'm the owner of Cavalier Cottage, offering home dog-boarding for Cavaliers. My aim is to provide the highest level of care for our Cavalier guests while providing peace of mind for their owners. I only look after dogs from one household at any one time, and I specialise in Cavalier King Charles Spaniels. Your Cavalier deserves to be treated like a king (or queen)!
Together with my husband Richard, I have had the privilege of owning Cavalier King Charles Spaniels for over 15 years and am obsessed with them! All our Cavaliers have been rescue dogs, so I am used to dealing with shy and anxious dogs. I am dog first aid-trained, insured, and licensed by Chichester District Council.
I provide personalised home dog boarding for your Cavalier in my own home. I work from home full-time, so your pooch will rarely be left alone. We are a child-free, smoke-free and cat-free home and live in a peaceful rural location with direct access to countryside walks. We enjoy daily walks, playing in our secure garden and optional off-lead exercise in a private dog park. Plus snoozing and cuddles of course!
Tizzy is a ruby cross and came to us from Many Tears Animal Rescue. She loves chasing rabbits and shouting at squirrels. 🐶
Also a rescue, Betty is a tricolour who loves eating and snuggling on the sofa. 🐶
Raffles, a Shepherd-cross, was our first dog. She was a stray on the streets of Singapore and we flew her back home with us. She could play frisbee for hours! 🐶
Frosty was our first Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. He had been used for breeding and we rescued him at the age of five. Frosty started our love affair with cavs! 🐶
Lola was the boldest and happiest little dog, despite also being a rescue. Always ready with a wag and lick for anyone she met. 🐶

We love the breed and are familiar with their foibles and health conditions. We have two resident Cavalier King Charles Spaniels, who always enjoy meeting other Cavaliers. We find that Cavaliers have a similar temperament, are usually of a sweet and gentle nature and are of a similar size, making for a harmonious homestay.
Sorry, we specialise in Cavalier King Charles Spaniels. If you own a Cavalier as well as another small dog, please contact us so we can discuss.
