Hastings is the one of the nearest big towns - I liked the front and the town centre, although parts of the suburbs have a less than salubrious reputation. Rye is nice in the middle but likely to be pretty spendy. Folkstone I've not been to, or Ashford, but they're likely to have the most choice rental wise. The whole area is really pretty rural, so unless you're bang in the middle of a town you're likely to have dog walking opps right there.
Folkestone would be a tad too far away. looking at nearly an hour drive there. And not the nicest of places.
Everywhere by the sea you could walk the dog on the beach. Or there's loads of country walks and stuff when you go a few minutes inland.
