Doggy Day Care Bedale

About: I grew up with dogs and absolutely love their company for long walks in the area that i live in, along with lots of playtime I am currently single and retired so now have lots and lots of spare of time for lovely long walks and plenty of time to play I have fields on three sides of my house, pets would be able to roam inside bungalow freely or be caged if required by owners

About: I live in the beautiful village of West Tanfield, surrounded by countryside walks right on my doorstep. I’m lucky to have access to a lovely river loop walk, open fields nearby, and regular trips to Thornborough Henges, which is fully fenced and perfect for safe exploring. I work from home most of the time, so your dog will have plenty of company and a calm, relaxed environment throughout the day. They’re more than welcome to join me in my home office — keeping me company as the “office dog” for the day. I’ve had dogs all my life and recently lost my beautiful black Labrador, Ralph, in January. While I’m not quite ready for another dog of my own, I would love to open my home to yours and give them the same love and care. My aim is to provide a true “home away from home” — dogs are welcome to relax freely in the house and garden, and be part of a safe, comfortable environment. I’ll always treat them as if they were my own. I work from home most days, so your dog will have plenty of company and care. I can only accept bookings when I’m working from home. I only take one dog at a time. Dogs are treated like family and I like them to feel relaxed, with free roam, sofas, beds, a garden fully secure, and countryside walks.

“A big thank you to Nicole for looking after Indi again t was obvious how much Indi enjoys being with Nicole by India's reaction when I dropped her off. She was so excited to be at Nicole's again. I received lots of photos showing Indi enjoying herself. I will have no hesitation of using Nicole again when I need weekend doggy day care.”

About: I've taken care of a variety of dogs, big & small and tend to each of their needs including: daily walks, feeding routines, training reinforcement and their individual personalities. Neighbours, friends and family have relied on me to look after and play with their pets for over 9years. I have my own Cocker Spaniel puppy so have experience looking after young dogs.

I can recognize signs of stress, illness, or discomfort in pets, ensuring they stay healthy and happy while in my care.Having both a dog and a cat means I’m experienced in managing the unique needs of different species. I understand their distinct behaviors, dietary requirements, and exercise needs, so I’m well-prepared to care for a variety of pets.Caring for a disabled animal has taught me patience, adaptability, and compassion.

“Grace was amazing.she had never met Ossie and instantly made him feel comfortable.she was helpful, positive and he clearly was very happy to be there. When I went to get him he walked back into the house a couple of times and played in her garden while we chatted. I would recommend her to anyone”

About: I have been looking after animals for most of my life, and would be happy to help with other peoples furry friends. I have a 3 legged cat and a young (ish) friendly dog. I like an active house, and am always happy to go out for extra walks, and will get out in any weather for some fresh air and a run around. I have experience with dogs of all ages and from small to large breed, and am confident and calm with nervous dogs or those who have come from rescue and need a little more special tlc. I can look after your loved furry friend Monday to Friday in the afternoons and evenings in term time with more flexibility in the school holidays. The family pets have the run of the house, and also have an outdoor run to go into when the weather is good. Our dog has a blast out in the woods in the morning before breakfast to work up an appetite and then a walk or run later in the day. We also have a large garden and attached woodland for exploring and to keep active brains busy

“Jordan must've been brilliant because my dogs didn't seem that bothered about coming home with me when I arrived to pick them up. Everything was very relaxed, easy and stress free. Thanks for keeping them company.”

About: I have a love of all animals and treat everyone’s as my own. My home has plenty of space to accommodate all your pets requirements. I work part time from home so I am always around the house so your pet would not be left alone for more than an hour. I have a large enclosed garden with lockable gates to prevent access. My own pets have the run of the house and garden but each animal will be assessed and cared for as an individual and I have multiple rooms should some space from other animals be required.

About: As a lifelong dog enthusiast, I've traveled the world volunteering and caring for pups. This has been for friends, family and neighbours in Hong-Kong, Nepal, Brunei and the United Kingdom! Additionally, for the past 2 years, I've been an active volunteer on 'Borrow My Doggy', where I've found great joy in dog-sitting and walking my furry friends. While I don't have any pets of my own, spending time with dogs brings me immeasurable happiness. Their energy, loyalty, and companionship are unmatched, and I'm committed to providing them with the best care possible. I have glowing references from trusted owners who can attest to my exceptional dog-sitting abilities, so you can rest assured your beloved pooch is in loving hands with me. Due to a recent lay off from work, my current schedule is very flexible, as a result I am able to provide unparalleled comfort & convenience in caring for your beloved pet. As a result, I can most definitely house sit and dog walk your precious pet any day of the week, 7 days a week and anytime! In fact, I can 100% guarantee that I can adapt to YOUR schedule with ease. Currently, I am living in a spacious apartment enclosed with a private balcony. I only live with my boyfriend and we have no pets. I live seconds away from Clapham Junction one of the biggest train stations in the UK, therefore I have no issues with travel to and from my apartment. Additionally, my apartment is extremely dog friendly and I live next to countless parks with Battersea Park being the most popular one for dogs of all kinds!

About: I’ve had many different pets since I was little. I now have a dog, cat and leopard gecko, both of which I have raised from only a few months old. I look after family pets and have experience being a dog handler and animal keeper!

About: I have had pets all my life, from chickens to dogs, guinea pigs and rabbits. There’s not many animals we haven’t welcomed into our home. I currently work 2 days a week, due to being a full time mum - this means I’m flexible throughout the week and weekends. Because my husband works shift I would like to know in advance when a pet needs looking to but don’t be afraid to ask at short notice. If I can help, I will! All of our pets that require vaccinations are vaccinated. All are up to date with flea and worm treatments. Given that I work in a vets they receive high end (pom-v) treatments not over the counter products. We previous had a little Westie, Pixie who was diabetic, her medication required a strict time routine to ensure she was stabilised well after meals.

About: I’ve always loved animals and have grown up with a dog of my own, so spending time with pets has always been a huge part of my life. I have experience caring for pets, including looking after a neighbour’s two dogs and cat for a week while staying in their home. Family members also regularly ask me to look after their dogs in my own home, which I absolutely love. I always make sure every pet feels happy, safe and comfortable. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding or bedtime, I’ll treat every fluffy friend like family. I’m lucky to have a really flexible schedule at the moment, so I’m available seven days a week and can easily fit around your pet’s routine. Whether it’s a morning walk, an afternoon play session, an overnight stay or just keeping them company, I’ll be there to make sure they get lots of love, attention and care while you’re away. I know leaving your pet with someone new can be a big step, so I’ll do everything I can to make them feel happy, safe and right at home. I have a secure fenced garden where they can play safely, as well as plenty of toys to keep them entertained. I’ll stick to their usual routine, whether that’s walks, playtime, feeding or lots of cuddles, and I’ll treat every fluffy friend like one of my own. I’ll also send regular photos and updates, so you can see just how much fun they’re having while you’re away!

“A really great experience for us and our dog Buzz, welcoming, friendly and did a fantastic job of making Buzz feel at home. So grateful thank you”
