Doggy Day Care in Bassetlaw

“We couldn't be happier with the care Drew provided for our dog, Ripley! From the moment we dropped her off, it was clear that she was in great hands. Drew kept us updated throughout the day, and Ripley was so relaxed and happy when we picked her up. It's obvious that Drew has a genuine love for animals and went above and beyond to ensure Ripley was well taken care of. We highly recommend Drew to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”

About: I have over 25 years experience of looking after different types of dog breeds, both large and small. Good experience with puppies and youngsters as well as the senior generation. We live in the middle of a country park so lots of places for walks, plus our garden is very secure and very large. Your fur baby will have a fantastic time in their country retreat and you can enjoy your holiday, in the knowledge they will be safe, happy and living life to their fullest. I am a supply teacher so can pick and choose my days to suit. I also am available for school holiday dates as I’m not working any of those. I have two small fur babies who are very friendly - one is young and a great play mate, the other is older and great company for seniors.

“An absolute 5* We booked Diane at the last minute. She took wonderful care of our dachshund puppy, making sure Bella was happy and safe. She sent us pictures and updates, which we really appreciated. Highly recommend Diane for kind and reliable pet care!”

About: Hi there! My name is Athene, I am an experienced animal carer. I have years of experience working with puppies, nervous and reactive dogs. I am trained in many aspects of veterinary care including administering medications, handling dogs with different needs and tolerances, canine behaviour and much more. I hold an up-to-date full canine first aid certificate. I first began my career with dogs, about 2-1/2 years ago, where I was working directly with a broad variety of dog breeds from Chihuahua to Leonbergers , with a vast variety of needs; including human and dog reactive dogs. From this experience I have learnt the behaviour within dogs. I am able to provide the dog what it needs by reading its body language the best that I can. My work experience has taught me that every animal has its own level of tolerance, and I believe allowing the dog to feel safe and comfortable- is first and foremost. If they want cuddles, they will ask... and of course I will be there to welcome them with open arms! I have my own dog, his name is Shadow. He is 2 year old neutered mixed breed whom is a dog loving bundle of love. (Please feel free to ask me any questions you may have about him!). Within my house, I have a small sized, completely secure garden, which your dog will have access to. If your were to board your dog with me, overnight I would have your dog sleep in my bedroom with me, and have my dog sleep in the living room (he always sleeps in the living room, so this wont be new to him). This way I can keep a close eye on your dog, and means they are separated at night. I am very luckily to live in a beautiful area of South Yorkshire. I am surrounded by river walks, walking field paths and all-round nature which I thoroughly enjoy walking and the dogs LOVE IT! As mentioned I am able to administer medications, so even if you have a fussy pup, I have been trained on how to administer medication safely and effectively. Please feel free to drop me a message should you have any queries at all. It's important to find a sitter than its right for your pet, and also right for me! So please do not hesitate to ask! I run my business from home, which means I am available Monday - Sunday, at all times of the day. I have no upcoming holidays. If your dog is to stay with me, whether that be daycare or boarding, safety is always first. Your dog will always be feed separately from mine, including medications. Walks can also be separate, should that be necessary and/or at your request. Your pets requirements, should be communicated between you and I to ensure your pets has the best and most comfortable time! Your dogs well-being and safety will be the top priority, every-time without question. I have enzymatic urine cleaner after every stay, to eliminate any smell of any previous dog urine should there be any. I have two medium/large dog beds, including a medium sized crate should your dog need. If you have any special requirements please do not hesitate to ask, and if I can accommodate- I will!

About: I have been around dogs my whole life until my mum adopted me my own in 2016, that pup is still going till this day! My daughter who is now 2 years old also loves dogs however we are not in the position to get her own. So we decided as a family to open our home up to other doggies who need a bit of extra love I’m currently a stay at home mom 7 days a week, I very rarely go out at nighttime so i’m also more than happy to have them here overnight. I have a fully fenced off back garden with real grass and a hosepipe for the hotter days💦My home has no carpet downstairs meaning I am not wary of a bit of mess! I also have my own food/water bowls and toys!

About: We're a devoted couple with over 30 years of experience in caring for, walking, and training dogs of all breeds and temperaments. Dogs have always been at the heart of our home, and we treat every furry guest as one of our own. Over the years, we’ve had the joy of raising and nurturing two beautiful litters of puppies—each one receiving the highest level of care, socialisation, and love before heading off to their forever homes. To this day, we remain in close contact with every one of their new families, receiving regular updates and photos, even five years later. It’s these long-lasting relationships and heartfelt connections that reflect the level of care and commitment we bring to every dog we look after. Whether it’s a playful puppy or a wise senior, we create a calm, structured, and loving environment where your dog can feel safe, relaxed, and truly at home. As a couple working different shift patterns, we’re able to provide full-day care and flexible support to suit a wide range of schedules. Your dog will never be short of company, cuddles, or attention! We both love walking and spending time outdoors, and we’re lucky to be surrounded by beautiful countryside—perfect for relaxed strolls or more adventurous outings, depending on your dog’s needs. We have a secure, fully fenced back garden that offers a safe space for play and fresh air. We regularly care for our daughter’s two dogs when she travels overseas, so our home is always ready to welcome furry guests. We’re also happy to offer overnight stays for crate-trained dogs, providing them with a calm, comfortable, and supervised environment throughout their visit.

About: I have been around dogs since I was a child. Growing up I was always the first to volunteer to help walk our neighbours dogs. My two dogs are both rescue dogs and so can tend to be scared at times so I am used to reactive behaviour. We also undertook some dog training so I have picked up some useful tips from that. I am currently a full time uni student, but still have plenary of time to care after dogs. I am available all weekends and weekdays apart from Tuesdays and Thursdays for which I am available after 2pm. I’ve had pets my entire life and for the past year, I’ve started caring for others in addition to my own. I have experience caring for dogs with special needs, and of all different sizes and breeds.

About: Have owned a dog all my life, and currently have dachshunds. Very experienced with small-medium breeds, but keen to gain experience with larger dogs :) Currently working part time from home so have a lot of availability. Can offer home visits, walks and overnight boards at your home or mine :) I have a secure garden with high walls and also have 4 cheeky dachshunds to keep your dogs company! If it’s a home visit you are wanting then I will follow your rules and look after your fur baby just as you want me to :)
