Doggy Day Care in Basildon

“Katherine and Josh are absolutely brilliant. Frank is the happiest boy when he gets picked up every single time. He gets the care and quality time I had hoped for. It is a home from home and my mind is at ease everytime. Frank has an amazing time with his new bestie Rex and is super comfortable with Katherine and Josh. I couldn’t be happier with how wonderful they treat Frank as if he is one of their own. Thankyou so much 🐾🫶🏻 would highly recommended to everyone!”

About: I grew up with countless dogs having 2 of my own training one from a puppy and the other as a rescue who was a staffy cross rotty. Im very experienced with nervous and aggressive rescues as almost all our dogs were rescues. I am currently working part time with different jobs I am also studying during the week. On the days I would be caring for dogs I would be with them the whole day. I have a 1st floor flat with access to a near by park it has recently been renovated so the space is clean and comfortable. The dog i was looking after would have access to clean refreshed water, walks atleast twice a day in the near by parks and plenty of cuddles and stimulating activity.

“Tori was great and Louie took to her right away, I felt very comfortable leaving him with her and Adam. Communication was good and I would use Tori again! Thank you Tori and Adam 😁”

About: I've taken care of dogs since I was a child: my own, as well as those belonging to friends and family. I have also done volunteer work at a kennel. I understand some dogs have individual needs, and I am careful in following any notes from owners on how to best care for their specific dog. I'm currently working part-time, so I have a lot of spare time to work with dogs (whether walking them or popping round to give them some attention). I carefully follow any instructions from an owner on how to best care for their dogs (diet, medication, etc.). I give them lots of attention and exercise. When working in someone's residence, I have the utmost respect for their home.

“We've used Harry many times now, and as Maggie arrived for the most recent stay she instantly recognised his home and walked right in happy as anything. That's probably the best feedback I can give, your power will feel right at home with Harry!”

“Rudi had a great time with Hannah during his stay, had a great walk and lots of playtime. Hannah updated me with pictures several times throughout the day, will use again and highly recommend 👍🏼”

About: Apart from owning my own dogs and cats my whole life. I’ve volunteered at a dog sanctuary. I’m at my happiest when around animals and I believe it’s all about good positive energy and calm energy and if u have that combined with a love for animals u will always be able to build a connection with these animals. I quit my job in London and moved back to Essex I’m studying part time and can work my course around any hours I do. Why work anywhere else than with animals that need love and attention. Gotta be the best job ever!!! Plus I’m quite active and love taking dogs for walks I get enjoyment from seeing them happy and healthy. Flexible in my hours and days avaliable to work Ur fur babies would love my daily routine. Always up early. They can be out in the garden or relaxing indoors. If able to I will take them on a nice long walk. They will be showered with affection from both myself and my kids. Animals do always warm to me pretty quickly. Put it this way I’ll do my best to give them a 5* holiday Your fur babies will be priority on being made to feel at home. I will quickly build trust and they will have the choice of my lap, the sofa, or a comfy bed to put their paws up. Which ever they decide. I have a high fence in my garden so they would be safe to explore there too

About: Hello, I’m Bianca 🥰I’ve had plenty of experience caring for animals over the years, especially cats, as I’ve owned and looked after many of them. I’ve also cared for a few dogs, so I’m confident with both. This has helped me understand different personalities, needs, and routines, and how to keep pets comfortable, happy, and well looked after. I know how important it is to leave your dog safe while you are away or in someone's care while you are at work. I like that there is good communication and collaboration between me and the person when it comes to the pet. I currently work part time but I am free 4 days a week which means I can focus entirely on your pet and give it all the affection and play it needs but I can also travel to your home I have a large garden with trees and interactive games for animals because I have two, the park is 5-10 minutes away. When it comes to food or medicine, if necessary, I will only receive notes for each meal or for each time it needs to be fed.

About: We’ve both been around dogs for more than 15 years each. Mitchell’s family dog was a Jack Russell named Dottie which we both look after regularly before she passed in April 2025. Sarah’s most recent family dog was a Westie named Mandy. We both love having dogs around us and we have looked after many dogs that belong to our friends and family including Golden Retrievers, Dashchunds, Terriers, Labradors, Cockerpoos, Spaniels, Staffies and also a Boxer! Mitchell has experience in training his family dog and enjoys spending time with those around him with puppies to master some of the usual tricks. A dog in our company will be walked (and sometimes taken to the beach if allowed and weather permitting!), treated like our own family member, given treats when appropriate and made to feel comfortable in our own home. Sarah is a retail store manager and often has a day off in the week. Mitchell works in IT Sales and works from home 3/5 days per week. Both being flexible with their days at home, a pet would fit nicely into the schedule and would encourage the walk at lunch time as well as intermittent breaks throughout the day to entertain the dog in. Weekends are an opportunity to take an extended walk in the local area and surrounding areas, sometimes to the beach too and the addition of a dog on these walks would be very welcome! We have a fenced, secluded garden which has been thoroughly checked and is regularly maintained for any possible routes of escape. Our home is a modern, comfortable and warm home where your pet will be made to feel comfortable. Whilst it is preferred that your pet will not sit on our furniture and bed, in some circumstances this may be ignored.

About: Hi, I’m Shelly! I recently made the exciting decision to leave my full-time job so I could focus entirely on dog boarding and care — and I honestly couldn’t be happier. Caring for dogs isn’t just a side job for me, it’s now my full-time passion. I’m fully insured and provide a safe, loving, home-from-home environment where your dog will be treated like one of the family. I’m lucky enough to be busy every single day, which means lots of happy pups and experienced hands-on care with all different breeds, sizes, and personalities. Spending time with dogs truly makes my day, and I can’t wait to welcome yours too! I am part time but mostly work from home so I can always be around the house giving the best love and care for the puppies 🐶 I can care for pets in my home we have plenty of space i have a large garden what is fenced off and we have a private dog pen area outside also for nervous Dogs if needed.

“I had a last minute schedule change and Rianna was quick to answer her messages, and when it came to looking after out whippet, Winnie, she was wonderful. Rianna sent us so many lovely pictures of Winnie and took her for a long walk. Winnie was happy to see me again at the end of the day, but sad to leave. Thank so much again for taking care of Winnie!”

“Javier was amazing with Woody! He sent updates and made sure Woody felt comfortable from the start. It was our first time leaving him with someone new, and we couldn’t be happier — would recommend!”

About: Currently only taking short boarding requests due to my girl potentially being spayed in the near future. I’ve owned 3 dogs in my whole 28 years all of from different types of breed which had come with different challenges. As well as having experience with cat, rabbits and guinea pigs. Always willing to put the best effort mentally, physically and compassionately when it comes to my own animals so why not spread that further to those who may need a helping hand. I have experience with protection dogs and exotic cats including 14 Savannah Cats. I am currently fully flexible, available any day and any time that I am needed. I also drive so I can commute further if necessary. However, if boarding is requested they must be able to get along with other dogs. I am a home owner who knows plenty of woods, parks and walking spaces to roam. If I am providing a drop in I will ensure the home is left how I find it and that any animals needs are met even if there are any necessary special requirements.

About: Work from home full time with my super friendly rescue pup. Have a fully enclosed garden and a lovely pup who would be glad of some doggy company. I work from home full time, all week day evenings free along with weekends if they are booked in advance. My dog is treated like a member of our family, just like yours would be too! I have a fully fenced garden and a gate at the side. Walks definitely once but also sometimes twice a day. Treats throughout the day if allowed. Dogs allowed on sofa and plenty of cuddles all day!

“Would 100000% recommend Doris and her family as dog sitters. They welcomed my fur baby into their home as if she was their own. Not only did my pup get to explore a new environment she got plenty of snuggles and a new dog friend for life. 10/10”

“Mes deux chiens ont passé un super moment. Ils n'ont pas l'habitude d'être gardés par une personne qu'ils ne connaissent pas. Terrie a su les mettre en confiance et très bien prendre soin d'eux. Nous venons de France, il y avait en plus la différence de la langue. Terrie est super.”

I am also now concentrating on house sitting as I’ve been asked a lot about it….I grew up with dogs as my dad worked at Battersea Dogs home when I was a teenager. I started to look after friends & family dogs around 28 years ago. Then started to walk & train dogs & now as I’m semi retired I have the opportunity to board your beloved pet in a calm surroundings. Fully insured. I also do one on one training & behaviour problem solving for your dog. Whatever your problem ask! I currently only work part time, so I have plenty of time to walk, play & board your pup’s. I have also helped in all area’s of training dogs. I live in a bungalow on a quiet cul de sac. My garden has a 2 gated entrance and is fenced all around with a gated concrete area to the side & a medium sized lawn at the rear. I also now have a motorhome I can use to stay in whilst house sitting if that’s what you would prefer.
