Doggy Day Care in Bournemouth

About: As a Rover client myself since 2021, I know exactly what it takes to provide peace of mind when you trust someone with your four-legged family member. Having used drop-ins, daycare, walks, and boarding from the owner's side, I know how reassuring a quick photo update is, how vital it is to stick to a precise feeding schedule, and how important transparency is. I treat your dog’s routine as absolute law and deliver the exact high standard of care that I expect for my own dog, Odin. Raising my own 5-year-old Black Labrador through the high-energy puppy stages means I am well-versed in positive reinforcement, maintaining house-training schedules, managing teething, and ensuring safe, controlled socialization. Equally, I understand that older dogs have vastly different needs. Whether it's managing a slower pace on our walks, administering oral medications, recognizing signs of joint discomfort, or simply ensuring they have a quiet, comfortable space to rest, senior dogs receive gentle, attentive care here. I am entirely comfortable handling larger, high-energy breeds, managing leash pulling, and ensuring that play sessions remain safe, balanced, and fun. Your dog will seamlessly blend into a structured, active, and reliable daily schedule: 8:30 AM: A long 45–60 minute morning walk at Bournemouth Gardens (plenty of ball-throwing and running around for high-energy pups!). 1:00 PM & 5:00 PM: Dedicated comfort breaks. 8:30 PM: A secondary 45–60 minute evening walk to wind down for the night. 11:30 PM / Midnight: A final late-night comfort break before settling in for bed. Because I share my home with Odin, we strictly accept dogs who are friendly and comfortable with other dogs. Our home is rarely empty. I work a brief shift Monday to Friday from 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM, and Saturdays from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM. However, on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays, someone is always at home, ensuring your dog is never left alone during those times. On Mondays and Thursdays, dogs should be comfortable being left for a maximum of 3 hours in the evening alongside Odin. We live in a flat ideally located directly across the road from Bournemouth Gardens, meaning fantastic, green, and expansive walks are right on our doorstep!

“Sonya and Lee are amazing with our little Cavapoo, Stanley, and he loves going to see them. As soon as we say their names Stanley wags his tail with excitement. They’re a lovely couple with lots of dog experience and a beautiful safe and warm home. Very highly recommended.”

About: I’ve always been around pets and currently I have a Staffordshire Bull Terrier. I know that dogs love attention, play with other dogs and they always need to be looked after. I love to walk them and to play with them. I always care about my dog’s needs so we go for walks at least 3 times per day. I always try to find places where they can run freely. I don’t have a garden but I go everyday either to the beach or the forest. During the weekend I visit other forests that are further away. The central gardens are 2 minutes walking from my home and the beach 10 minutes walking.

About: My love for dogs is at the heart of everything I do. I believe that pets are family, and I treat them with the same care and respect. From energetic puppies to senior dogs with special needs, I have experience handling a wide range of pet care scenarios. I offer a flexible schedule to accommodate the needs of pet owners, ensuring that your pet receives consistent and attentive care. I provide a safe, secure, and loving environment where pets can thrive and feel at home. I am very precise, so if you have specific instructions for your dog, be reassured they will be followed :) My work is pretty flexible and that allows me to take care of the dogs properly, let them walk regularly. I am available on weekends and weekdays. I have a flat that can accommodate up to two dogs (from the same family or different families) at the same time. They will have space to be comfortable.

“Sophie was so welcoming and reassuring. This was my first time using Rover and our first big time away from our pup. Sophie was just amazing and we will 100% be coming back for another visit as Barney had the best time! Thank you for looking after him so well!”

“Thank you for providing great care to My little one today. She can be shy at first but Carolina brought her out of her shell. She had a lovely day🐾”

“Rachael is a real find! We’ve just moved to the area and this is our first time leaving Murphy with her. She sent us photo updates during the day and we felt so reassured that he was being well looked after. We have booked Murphy back in for a longer stay with her too Thank you Rachael ☺️”

About: I grew up with cats and dogs. I now have a cat (who likes dogs!) And care for my brother's cockapoo when needed. I have helped a local dog walker too. ...dogs often want to say hi to me! 😁 Full CRB clearance (my main job is in education). Dog grooming available (by a qualified groomer). I am free at weekends, some evenings and during school holidays to care for your pets. I am happy to care for them in your home too. I enjoy an active, outdoors lifestyle. I have an outdoor space at home and am very near to the beach and Branksome woods (10 mins walk through a chine to the beach). I am happy to pet sit in your home too.

“Milo looked like he had the best time, Louis stayed in contact with me throughout the day, he was very kind doing this as I understand it can be annoying. Loads of lovely photos too. Milo was looked after really well. Thank you 😊”

About: I've always had animals in my life and really enjoy their company. I've had experience with a mixture of breeds, ages and all sizes. I took my previous dog to puppy training classes so am familiar with the basics and of course adaptable to your preferences. Currently on maternity leave for all of 2026 so I have an abundance of time on my hands. Would love to help out with dog walks and house boarding and drop in visits. Any questions please ask :) I live in a first floor flat close to the beach in the Branksome Park/Westbourne area. It's a very safe and secure area. I have a 3 year old Male Maine Coon Cat who stays indoors and is able to be separated to his own area if necessary.

About: I’ve grown up with family dogs since I was 12 and have taken each of my own pups through puppy classes — never afraid to get stuck into the training, chores, and yes, plenty of poop-scooping along the way! My mum is a dog walker, and I’ve joined her on countless walks, so I’m confident caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I know all the best local spots for safe and fun walks, and while I can’t have a dog of my own right now, I have a lot of love to give and would be thrilled to share that with your pup. As a lifelong dog owner, I understand how important trust and peace of mind are when choosing someone to care for your furry family member — and that’s exactly what I provide. 🐾 I work for the NHS as an Occupational Therapist with a flexible schedule. Three days a week I work from home, which makes me easily available for walks, visits, and toilet breaks. On my office days I’m still out and about in the car locally, so I can pop in as needed. My partner Sean is a postman for Royal Mail so finishes by 3 and can be there if I can’t be. Being a driver means travel is no issue, and I can fit visits around my day to make sure your pup is happy and cared for. 🐾 I can host pets in my own home, but I’d also be happy to care for your pup in the environment they know best — keeping their routine consistent and stress-free. I’ll follow your instructions, give them plenty of love, and take them on safe, fun walks (I know all the best local spots!). I’m also happy to take dogs in the car for adventures a little further afield. My goal: a happy pup and peace of mind for you. 🐾

About: Hi, I'm Klaudia! I've spent the majority of my life being surrounded by animals. I grew up with two German Shepherds and a cat whom I loved very much! Most of my friends and family own multiple pets so I never go a day without a four legged companion by my side. I have experience looking after all kinds of pets, no matter how big or small, but to be more precise, I've had the pleasure of spending quality time with German Shepherds, Border Collies, Cocker and Springer Spaniels, Golden Retrievers, Labradors, Pugs, Frenchies, cats and even rescue dogs! I am a crazy nature lover with a drivers licence as well as a car so I will be more than happy to take your furry friends on the best walks and adventures in the surrounding areas. You can trust me to look after your pets as if they were my own, with plenty of cuddles and everything they need to have a wonderful and safe time. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friends! I'm currently self-employed and working part time hours. Please get in touch with me about availability as I know my schedule well in advance and will be able to provide all of the info you may need. Please note that jobs outside of my 5 mile radius will require an additional fee to cover travel expenses. I can look after your pets in my friendly home, which is a big first floor flat (lift available) where they will have plenty of space to rest, play and cuddle on the sofa. I am just a minute walk from the cliff top, beach and a park with lots of green areas for them quick potty breaks, or a few minutes car journey from bigger parks. I am more than happy to look after your pets in your own home, in their surroundings. I will always carefully follow any requests that you may have regarding their care and needs.

“Finn loves Amy. As soon as we get to her front door, he knocks and then proceeds to run in, without even a goodbye. She has been so lovely and flexible with dates and times, we've now made her Finn's weekly doggy day care.”

About: People say dogs are a man's best friend. Who says they can't be a woman's best friend:). I am a massive dog lover and love going on walks surrounded by dogs, especially living so close to the beach. My dream job is to one day create my own dog business, providing my own services involving dog sitting, dog walking, and doggy daycare. I have been gathering experience over 3.5 years, so I am reliable, have looked after different breeds, sizes, done a mixture of dog sitting and boarding and I'm very proud of the reviews I have been given on here. I am very relaxed and flexible, happy to help when I am needed. I am available every day, during the day, but have also done overnight boarding too. I'm very conscious and aware of dog safety, ensuring I always lock the doors, listen to instructions regarding lead use and am aware of any needs your dog may have, such as fears or presence of other dogs. When dog sitting I always make sure that I follow the owners instructions and preferences, as well as making sure they are fed on time, correct amounts and are well hydrated throughout the day. I also make sure to give them plenty of love and attention, including playing with toys and being in their presence. If they're not allowed on sofas, you know I'll be sat on the floor with them! For dog walking, I enjoy various different walks, from short, but more frequent walks to longer more energetic walks for pups or active breeds. I take them into forests, parks or even the beach too! Please ask if you have any questions, I'd love to hear from you. I’m currently working part time as a babysitter, so I’ll have plenty of time to play and look after your pups! I’m available for boarding on weekends, and weekdays after 2pm. I have a fenced yard and two friends dogs to keep your fur baby company. I can easily crate for your dog if needed not a problem.

“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🥰”

“Can't fault Angelika, she responded quickly to our request which was last minute. She had great communication and sent lots of pictures through. By the end of the week Pumpkin became very fond of Yanka and Angelika and ran in the house not looking back which is always a great sign. We have already rebooked. You can see the love she has for dogs. Thank you for taking such great care of our Mr Pumpkin.”
