Doggy Day Care in Bournemouth

“5-Star Review for Our Amazing Dog Sitter! I can't say enough good things about our experience with Ruben! From the moment we met, it was clear that he truly love and understand dogs. Our baby Chino can be a little shy around new people, but they bonded almost instantly. That alone gave us such peace of mind. Throughout the stay, Ruben sent regular updates, including pictures and videos that showed Chino happy, relaxed, and clearly enjoying their time. Playtime looked like a blast! If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and genuinely caring, we wholeheartedly recommend Ruben. He is the kind of person you hope to find but rarely do. We'll definitely be booking again!”

“Camila is extremely welcoming and made me feel at ease straight away. She keeps me updated throughout the day with pictures and how my puppy is getting on. My puppy gets so excited when Camila opens the door which makes me feel comfortable leaving her!”

“Amy looked after Daphne for us so we could have a day out with the kids whilst we were on our holiday. Amy is so friendly and I immediately knew Daphne would be in great hands. We got an update when Daphne had settled which was good to know. Amy clearly loves dogs and I would highly recommend her!”

“Bonnie seemed to have had a lovely time with Sophie and her partner today. I was a little bit nervous about leaving Bonnie with someone as this was the first time I had. They were both lovely and kept me updated during the day to let me know what Bonnie had been up too. They took her out for two long walks and Bonnie was happy and content when I collected her. Will definitely be booking in with Sophie again. Thank you again for having Bonnie!!”

“Luna had a great time with Alice. She had access to Alice's garden and Alice took her for a walk in the woods which Luna loves. We would definitely ask Alice to look after Luna again.”

“🇩🇪Wir sind aus Deutschland 🇩🇪 im Urlaub in Bournemouth und suchten eine Tagesbetreuung für unsere Hündin, da wir einen Ausflug nach London planten. Meine Hündin Yumi hat sich vom ersten Moment an bei Gilly und Summer wohlgefühlt. Ich bin sehr froh so eine erstklassige Betreuung für meinen Hund gefunden zu haben: sehr herzlich, sehr freundlich und sehr kompetent! Ich kann Gilly als Hundebetreuerin auf jeden Fall weiter empfehlen. 🇬🇧 We are from Germany 🇩🇪 on holiday in Bournemouth and were looking for a day care for our dog because we were planning a trip to London.

“Guoda was great! Agreed to help out with my puppy with only a couple of hours notice. You could tell Guoda loves animals instantly with the way she was meeting Skye which gave me a lot of reassurance. I was updated throughout the day with messages and pictures. Will definitely be back to use Guoda again🥰”

“What can I say, Sylwia and co were absolutely wonderful as dog sitters for our Jasper. He wasn’t best pleased with the long drive to Bournemouth, but the girls really saw to it that he was well walked and looked after once he made the journey. Thanks Sylwia and hopefully get to see you again next time we’re across in Bournemouth!”

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover. I have spent years caring for a variety of pets—from dogs, cats and hamsters to guinea pigs and rabbits. Having shared my life with different animals, I truly appreciate that each one has its own personality, needs, and rhythm. I’m hands-on, caring, and focused on tailoring my approach to suit your pet—whether they’re full of energy, prefer a peaceful pace, or need a little extra patience. My goal is always to help them feel calm, safe, and loved in a new environment. That said, due to a severe allergy that developed a few years ago, I’m sadly unable to take care of cats. I work from home which provides me with full flexibility, allowing for attentive care of your pet throughout the day. Your pet will never be left alone for long and will have lots of company, affection, and engagement while staying with me. I provide a calm, pet-friendly home with attentive supervision and care based on your pet’s needs. Their well-being, comfort, and safety always come first. Please note, while I enjoy having dogs around and giving them space to relax freely, I prefer not to have them sleep in the bed-unless they're small (under 10kg). As I live in a flat, I also need to be mindful of neighbours; occasional barking is totally fine, but I'm unable to accept very vocal dogs.

“Thank you for looking after Ollie today”

About: I have a Golden Retriver that is almost 5 years old. I have been taking care of everything about it at home for 5 years. Since it is a very energetic dog, I am very experienced in taking dogs for a walk and taking care of them at home. As I am an international student in Bournemouth, my dog is currently in my hometown with my family. I am a university student in Bournemouth and my university is currently in summer break. So I have no problems with time and clock. I can fulfil any request for the dog. I live in a flat right in the centre of the town. My room and living room are big enough and I think dogs will be comfortable here. Since I live very close to the town centre, I am 1-2 minutes from Bournemouth Gardens, Upper Gardens and 5 minutes from the beach.

About: I've had dogs since 2011 of my own, I think I love them the most. I put their wellbeing first and make sure I follow owners rules. I will do everything to ensure they are well exercised if they need, no matter how long the walk, they will be loved, made to feel special and kept in sight. I'm currently not working, so am available at all time of day and night. For walks, sitting or hosting. I can be available with short notice I have a small patio that is walled and has some bushes to rummage in. I will always keep the dog in sight regardless of in my home or an owners. Will adhere to feeding and treat and diet rules and only treat the dogs like princes and princesses!!

About: I am a passionate pet lover with 12-year-old cat and beloved dog.

Committed to providing personalized care, play and updates for you. I will make sure they will spent cheerful time with me. My flexible schedule allows me to accommodate your pet’s needs.

About: Since I was 9 years old, I dreamed of having a dog. At the age of 16 this dream came true, and I devoted all my attention to my furry friend. But a year ago, when I moved to another city to study, my favourite dog stayed with my parents and I miss him very much. I understand how strong the bond between a pet and its owner is, and I am happy to help those who need to go away for a while, so that their pets are never left alone. In addition to attentive care, I can also teach your dogs new commands. Let me be your pet's companion when you can't be around. This summer, with no work and plenty of free time, I'm eager to welcome a pet into my life. Whether it's outdoor adventures or cozy moments at home, I'll ensure your pet feels loved and cared for. Additionally, I can teach your dog new commands, making our time together both fun and enriching. In my home, your pet will be provided with a safe, secure environment with cosy corners. I provide consistent feeding, exercise, exercise and daily supervised walks. In your home, I respect your pet's routines and rules, providing care in a familiar environment. I focus on safety, trust and well-being in both my home and yours.
