This little venture is close to our hearts. Our beloved dog, Lilly, had complex health needs that required careful management; for years, we didn’t leave the Island, and even missed having our wedding night away or a honeymoon - because who could we trust to care for her exactly as she needed? It didn’t feel fair to place that responsibility on friends, and we knew how important it was that her routines were followed to the letter.

We lost Lillypup in August 2025.  We wanted to find a way to honour her memory. That’s how Lilly's Bespoke Boarding was born - to offer a safe, loving, and reliable home-from-home care for dogs, alongside our two friendly resident dogs (Honey and Pixie) plus our cats (Poppy and Minnie) and to give their owners the chance to take a real break with peace of mind.

With Love,

Sarah and Chris.

Lilly’s Bespoke Boarding is proud to provide fully licensed and insured home-from-home dog boarding on the Isle of Wight, specialising in calm dogs, senior dogs and those needing a little extra TLC.  Guests stay with us in our family home, alongside our resident dogs, and receive round-the-clock care. Sarah and Chris are both trained in canine first aid. 

Most stays involve one visiting family, although carefully matched members of Lilly’s Extended Family may occasionally overlap. A Single-Household Guarantee is available for families who would like their dogs to be the only visiting dogs staying overnight.

We also have our own on-site Paw Spa, offering gentle bathing and comfort grooming.
