Owner & Founder
Owner & Founder
Rosie’s Retreat was founded out of a deep love for dogs and a desire to create a safe, nurturing, and luxurious environment for them.
After noticing a lack of personalised, high-quality care options for dogs in a kennel environment, I was inspired to create a space where pets could feel at home while receiving the best care possible by passionate highly qualified staff.
Named after my much-loved dog Rosie who was my shadow for 18 years, we lost her November 2023. The Retreat focuses on providing a comforting and fun experience for dogs, ensuring they are happy and content whilst staying with us.
I also own Royal Hounds Dog park and Royal Hounds Dog Services, the park offering a secure open space for dogs to run free safely. The dog services offer a professional dog walking service, and in your own home sitting services. I’m always driven by happy clients and always looking to improve where I can.
I am Pet First Aid Qualified to level 3, I have a Ofqual level 3 in Dog Welfare, Management and Behaviour.

Hi, I’m Molly Burgess, and I’ve been passionate about animals for as long as I can remember. With over 17 years of experience in owning dogs, I’ve dedicated my career to ensuring that every pet receives the highest standard of care.
My role involves everything from overseeing daily operations to training staff and creating a nurturing environment for our furry guests. I take pride in fostering a safe, clean, and stimulating atmosphere where pets can thrive.
In 2023 I graduated from the University of Kent with a Bachelor of Science in Animal Biology and Wildlife Conservation and have recently obtained a Pet First Aid Level 2 (VTQ) certification.
When I’m not at the kennel, you can find me spoiling my own fur babies, going on plenty of holidays and having lots of outdoor adventures.
My goal is always to make a positive difference in the lives of animals and their owners, I am aware that Rosie’s retreat will never compare to the comfort of their own home but I have made it my mission to make it as close as possible. So come rain or shine, know that your dogs will always be put first.

Hi, my name is Becca, I am a first-class BSc (Hons) Animal Science graduate specialising in canine behaviour.
At university I structured two research projects which observed certain behaviour displays in dogs. Working with animals has forever been my dream but I have a strong emotional connection to man’s best friend.
With a range of experience including working on a farm, owning dogs for most of my life, or being a canine carer at the Dog’s Trust, I am confident in my ability to provide an excellent and enriching service to the dogs. I qualified with a Level 2 (VTQ) in Pet First Aid and have plans to study an advanced Canine Behaviour diploma.
I have spent time travelling, notably in South Africa and Sri Lanka where I got to see wildlife at its finest and get up-close to the Big 5.
I love spending time in nature especially in forests or at the beach so walking the dogs is one of my favourite times of the day. With Molly, Alex, and the rest of the team, I believe we can achieve our mission to recreate an environment that makes your fur-babies feel right at home by addressing their specific needs.
