DC Dog Care: passion for dog care and training
-DC DOG CARE- HAPPINESS AND FULFIMENT FOR YOUR DOG IS A GUARANTEE! - Full time professional dog services - Licensed and insured (License number 25385) - Services include boarding, daycare, walking and training - First aid qualified I have been around dogs since I was a young child and gradually discovered my passion for observing and understanding everything about our four-legged friends. My GSDxCollie and Kelpie, Spud and Lexie, are highly trained and are often stealing the show in local towns or dog events and competitions. I have ample experience in caring for and training multiple breeds, building a great routine for the dogs which is tailored to their specific needs and ensures they get enough mental stimulation and physical exercise. As I am into health, fitness and sport myself, I love to be outside for several hours a day with a pack of my favourite friends. Some of our friends who regularly stay with us get very excited to return and will pull you to our door! Your dog(s) will be staying with me and my partner Celine in our 3-bedroom house with plenty of space and a fully fenced garden with artificial grass so the dogs don't get ill from digging and eating muddy morsels! All dogs that stay with us have their own designated space, access to water and provision of comfort elements in line with your requirements. I have a fully kitted out van for transport should you require pick-up/drop-off or walking services.

Ratings and reviews
Dan was amazing! Very responsive, and regular photo and video updates of the pup. On the initial chat he was very reassuring, and being a dog trainer as well he understands dogs behaviour. We will be using Dan in the future for sure!
Dan is very professional and provides exceptional client service. He looked after Bud for a long weekend - taking Bud out for his daily walks with lots a playtime with his dogs. I loved receiving video of all the fun things they got up to. I’d highly recommend Dan and definitely use Dan in the future.
A great experience from first message. Organised a walk together as an introduction and to ask any questions needed. Communication leading up to the booking, and then constant communication throughout, including lots of pictures being sent too. Dogs came home happy and exhausted!! Will certainly use again in the future. Thank you so much ❤️
We booked Dan to look after our very anxious little Cavapoo who is always with us and never been looked after by anyone else. We instantly liked Dan as soon as we met on the meet and greet, he was really knowledgeable and put our minds at ease. When the day came to drop off our little pooch he was really reassuring and patient (with me 😆) and fabulous with our dog too. He kept me updated through the day and went the extra mile to make sure our little dog wasn’t overwhelmed on his first time away from us. We will be using Dan on a regular basis from now on and we would highly recommend him!
Dan is such a great dog sitter, you can see he absolutely loves his job and ensures your pets are well looked after. Would certainly recommend him!
Daniel had our 4.5 month old puppy for a trial session overnight and her first overnight stay. We are keen to get her comfortable at a young age with other dogs and people. Daniel is very knowledgeable and patient particularly with our excitable pup. His two dogs are incredibly well trained and we feel are a good influence on our pup. We’ll definitely be using Daniel again in the future.

Safety, trust & environment
Before any provision of service attendance at the 'meet and greet’ walk as well as providing key details during a registration process will ensure that I am provided with the essential information to tailor care and/or training for your dogs needs, based on their observable temperament and breed-specific innate dispositions. I will ensure that physical and mental enrichment needs are met for your dog according to this, and they will have my dedicated focus and company throughout any time spent with me. Please get in touch and let me know how I can help you!
