Pet care is a structured and valued part of my daily and weekly routine. Each morning and evening, I allocate time for feeding, hydration, and general wellness checks to ensure the pet’s health and comfort. Daily walks or play sessions are prioritised to support both physical exercise and emotional enrichment. Throughout the week, my consistent approach not only meets my pet’s essential needs but also strengthens our bond over time.

Safety, trust & environment

When i'm caring for pets, whether in my own home or a pet owner's home, I tailor the experience to the pet’s specific needs and the service being provided. In-home pet care often involves maintaining a familiar environment for the animal, following feeding schedules, administering medications if needed, ensuring daily exercise and enrichment, and keeping the space clean and safe. When pets stay in my home, I provide a warm, pet-friendly environment that’s structured yet comforting, with plenty of opportunities for play, socialisation, and relaxation. I also maintain regular updates and communication with owners to ensure peace of mind and continuity in care. My approach emphasises consistency, compassion, and attentiveness to each animal’s behaviour and well-being.

Information Colin S. would like to know about your pet

Here are some key details that are always helpful to share about your pet: - Medical needs: Any allergies, medications, health conditions, or past injuries. - Dietary requirements: Preferred food, portion sizes, feeding schedule, and any restricted items. - Behavioural traits: How they respond to strangers, other animals, loud noises, or being left alone. - Daily routine: Usual walk times, bathroom habits, nap preferences, and favourite activities. - Comfort items: Toys, blankets, or routines that help them feel safe and calm. - Commands and training level: What they know, what they’re working on, and how they respond to cues. - Emergency contacts: Vet info and preferred emergency contact in case of unexpected situations. The more I know, the more I can make your pet feel truly at home—even when they’re away from home. Let me know if you’d like help organising this into a simple info sheet!

A typical day

When caring for dogs, I make sure every day includes a mix of stimulation, bonding, and tail-wagging fun. Depending on the dog’s breed, age, and preferences, activities can include: - Scenic walks or park, beach and gallops visits for fresh air and exploration - Interactive playtime with toys like tug ropes, balls, or puzzle feeders - Basic training games that keep their minds sharp and reinforce good behaviour - Gentle grooming or massage sessions for relaxation and bonding - Socialisation opportunities (with the owner’s permission) if the dog enjoys other pups - Themed enrichment activities like treat hunts or scent games that tap into natural instincts Every interaction is tailored to the dog’s personality, ensuring they feel safe, engaged, and happy under my care.

Pet care experience

At Doggy Care, I pride myself on offering a safe, loving, and stimulating environment for your canine companions. Whether it's a full day of doggy daycare or an extended stay in our trusted boarding care, I tailor each experience to meet your dog’s unique needs. With a deep understanding of canine behaviour and a passion for animal welfare, I provide personalised attention, structured play, and a cosy home-from-home atmosphere. From puppies to very active dogs, I ensure guests enjoy plenty of exercise, social interaction, and restful downtime under compassionate, watchful care. When your dog stays with me, they become part of my family—because I believe every tail deserves to wag with joy.

Colin and his lovely wife and daughter took wonderful care of my dog at his home I was on a cruise for 2 weeks. My dog is usually scared of strangers but he loved Colin and his family!

Colin & Evelyn Doggie care is great. They have a very large secure garden with plenty of room for loved ones to run about. The doggie walks were up at the gallops, along the beaches near Worthing everyday. We recevied some great photos of our love ones having some really great fun.
