About us

An experienced local dog care business

At Shepherd and Bengal, we’re driven by a huge passion for dogs. We know how important your dog is to you, and we believe they deserve to be treated as one of the family.

Founded by Amy McAlpine, who has grown up surrounded by dogs all her life, Shepherd and Bengal has grown from a lifelong passion into a loving career spanning over a decade. Along the way, we’ve built an incredible team of dedicated, experienced and compassionate people who share the same devotion to dogs and the highest standards of care.

Over the years, we’ve had the privilege of caring for dogs of all ages, shapes, sizes and personalities. From energetic youngsters to older dogs who prefer a slower pace, we welcome them all — and we understand that every dog is different. Our experienced team is comfortable caring for a wide range of behaviours and individual needs, ensuring every dog receives the patience, understanding and attention they deserve.

How we look after them

Care for your lovely four-legged friend

A loving, home-from-home experience for your four-legged family members.

We offer dog daycare, boarding and dog walking, giving your dog plenty of love, attention, exercise and, of course, lots of fun along the way.

With access to our 3-acre private, secure field, your dog can enjoy safe, off-lead time to run, explore and play. We’re also surrounded by beautiful countryside, with plentiful walks right on our doorstep for even more adventure.

Our aim is simple: to provide a safe, relaxed and happy environment where every dog feels at home, cared for and part of the family.

Dog Walking

Group walks via our private field or open local countryside. We always start with a free meet-and-greet to get to know your dog.

Dog Daycare

A full day of company, adventures, play and rest with like minded pooches while you’re at work.

Dog Boarding

Overnight stays in a home-from-home environment, filled with love, attention, care and exercise.

What owners say

Reviews

A few words from people whose dogs we look after.

★★★★★

“Amy and the team are hands down the best dog walkers we could ask for. They’ve taken exceptional care of Evie for years. Leaving her with them gives us total peace of mind.”

James Green · Evie’s dad
★★★★★

“Amy has been taking Albert for group walks for almost 4 years. He waits for her at the door and never wants to come in — he always comes home tired.”

Natalie Finch · Albert’s mum
★★★★★

“Amy has been amazing with Teddy. He loves his walks and it’s great he can still go out when we can’t take him. Always willing to add extra days when we need them.”

Sharon Boyall · Teddy’s mum
★★★★★

“Dinks is always happy to go to daycare in the morning and loves her time with Amy and the team. She always comes home tired and content.”

Jon Paul · Dinks’ dad
★★★★★

“We had a wonderful experience boarding Honey. She was well cared for, happy and settled. Communication was excellent — regular updates and photos. We’d happily recommend them.”

Ann Walker · Honey’s mum
