Doggy Day Care Branksome

About: I take the time to understand every dog’s routine, personality, and needs so they feel safe, comfortable, and at home. I’m experienced with dogs of all ages and temperaments, including seniors and anxious pups, and I make sure every dog feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I don't work now, so I can devote all of my time to caring, playing and fun walks with your dog. I have two parks near by and we have lots of calm cuddles and comfy naps after. I am licenced with BCP and Safety, trust, and a calm environment are always my top priorities. I care for pets in a clean, secure, and comfortable home where they’re never left unattended for long periods. I carefully follow each pet’s routine, and care instructions to help them feel settled and stress-free. I keep a close eye on behavior, energy levels, and appetite, and I’m quick to respond if anything seems off. I treat every pet like family—making sure they feel safe, loved.

“I was very nervous about leaving my dog with a doggy day carer. However, I shouldn't have worried. We met Sophie before our session, Sophie and James were the perfect host, freddy seemed very chilled to be around them. On the day, Sophie sent us regular updates and photos, showing us all the fun they were having together. Freddy even got to meet a new friend. We are so pleased to have found Sophie. She is an absolute gem and freddy had a great time. We will definitely be back.”

“Winston had the best time with Patrycja, her lovely family and of course Gaia! Winston loves being with people and playing with other dogs - he had such a great time that we literally had to drag him out with us. Patrycja made everything so easy and was more than accommodating.”

“The boys loved visiting Rachael and we felt very reassured having never left them with anyone. We only left them a few hours to attend a funeral and Rachael was really flexible. Would certainly leave them with her again.”

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.

“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🥰”

About: Since I was little, I’ve always been surrounded by animals. Growing up with dogs, cats and other pets taught me to understand their needs and emotions. I know how to make them feel safe, cared for and happy I currently work remotely from home, which gives me plenty of time for walks and playtime with your furry friend. My children absolutely love dogs and cats and enjoy spending time with them, helping with play and gentle care, which creates a warm and friendly environment for any pet. I have two spacious gardens where pets can safely run, play or relax, as well there’s a beautiful park just a short walk away — perfect for longer adventures.

“Gateaux had such a great time with Sonya and Lee for her two days in their care. Sonya sent such lovely photos of Gateaux and a video of her playing so I was really reassured that she was in the best hands whilst I had to work. Gateaux was happy and relaxed on collection. Really great communication as well. I can’t recommend enough!”

About: We’ve grown up surrounded by pets and can’t imagine life without them. From childhood right through to adulthood, caring for animals has always been second nature to us. Over the years, friends, family, neighbours, and even people in our wider community have trusted us time and again as their first choice when it comes to looking after their precious pets. That trust means everything to us, and we treat every animal in our care with the same love, patience, and attention we give our own. Our working hours are flexible and one of us is part time. Our schedules mean that our pets and any visitors will only be left alone for work related reasons for 2-4 hours. We have a secure garden with tall fences. We live within a two minute walk of both Queen’s and King’s Park. We know how important it is to feel completely confident when leaving your pets in someone else’s care. That’s why we pride ourselves on being reliable, responsible, and respectful.

“Dawn was amazing with Mochi who definitely enjoyed all the walks and fun, especially the play time with their dog, Obi. I think he made a new friend and we'll definitely book again.”

“Our little dog Gwen has such a lovely time staying with Tanya and Niels. Gwen runs from the car to their door and we have total confidence in leaving her for the day or overnight. Coco is a fabulous playmate for her and the photos show Gwen having lots of fun.”

“Amy was wonderful with our Howie from the first moment. It was his first ever overnight stay away from home and her care and attention made sure he was relaxed and comfortable with lots of cuddles and sitting on her lap (probably for most of the time if he got his way). Would definitely recommend Amy to other people and looking forward to him staying there again. Thank you! x”

Sarah W.

“Roxana looked after our Poncho on short notice for the whole day and provided us with plenty of pictures and updates throughout the day - he was very happy and comfortable with Roxana and she was more than accommodating in meeting his daily needs! He had a lovely time and we will be definitely using Roxana's services again when we need to! Couldn't recommend enough!”
