Doggy Day Care in County Durham

“Ron loves going to Emma, he meets other dogs and have lovely long walks, now that it is cooler. He starts getting excited the minute we turn into Emma's road. He's well cared for and I know he's safe”

“Marley had the best time with Sophie today. Sophie sent us lots of updates and photos of Marley throughout the day to let us know how he had settled. Marley is such a high energy dog but Sophie was brilliant with him and meeting his needs. Her communication is brilliant and is very responsive to messages. Marley also loved meeting and playing with his new doggy friend Riley. We would happily use Sophie again for dog sitting in the future. Thank you!”

“Kevin is a lovely chap. He clearly loves dogs and can give them plenty of attention and exercise. Bonnie settled quickly and made friends with Luna (super cute). We arranged a day to allow familiarity ahead of a three day stay. Really happy to have found a safe and friendly home from home ?”

“Liam and Hannah were absolutely fantastic looking after my young dog, Toby. Leaving him was hard, especially as he struggles with separation anxiety, but they made the whole process so much easier. Toby seemed to settle in really well, which speaks volumes about the care and attention they gave him. I received regular updates, including videos of Toby playing with their dog, Beau, which was such a comfort and brought a huge smile to my face. They also took Toby on lots of walks, which he absolutely loves, and it was clear he was getting plenty of exercise and stimulation. I will definitely be using Liam and Hannah again in the future. Thank you both so much for looking after Toby so wonderfully!”

“We couldn’t really recommend Lynn enough after Hugo stayed a couple of days for doggy day care. Lynn was just excellent looking after Hugo. She was flexible when I got the dates wrong on our booking and had to change last minute. Communication was great and drop off and collection was really easy. She is super friendly and Hugo enjoyed his time there with her and her family and her dog Rosie who is a lovely dog. We got some lovely photos of Hugo on his walks and he had a great time. Next time we’re back in Durham we will be definitely using Lynn again! Thanks!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs my entire life and have trained or owned pups from every “walk” of life - from small to large, young puppies to elderly pooches, traumatized rescues to pampered pedigrees - I’ve loved them all and want to give your precious pup all the attention they deserve! ☺️ I have a precious pup of my own who loves to have new furry friends around! I like to spend a lot of time outside so walks and playing in the field are frequent. Otherwise, we’ll be found studying at one of the dog-friendly coffee shops. 🙂 I take frequent breaks from work to play with my pup so there is no shortage of affection and attention for dogs here! I also have several dog beds in my home office so if your pup likes to snuggle/sit on laps I’m always up for that while I work. 🐶

“Another brilliant visit for Marley! He loves spending time with Angela, in particular all of the love and tickles she gives. Despite it being a short stay this time, Angela still took him out for a walk and played with him in the garden. Thanks again!”

“Since Margot was 10 weeks old I had previously only left her 3 times. I’m so thrilled to have found Gary as it means I have a chance to arrange my meetings with clients without having to take Margot with me. Gary is fantastic and is also putting in some basic training needs and Margot loves spending time with him. We are so happy we have found you Gary 🙏”

About: I've had a dog since i was born and then ever since i fell in love with them 🐶 i have experience handling different dog breeds and sizes! i am able to train puppies as well.

I am free on most weekdays and weekends I supervise them 24/7 if needed, i can bring them out to relieve themselves anytime. I have toys at home for them to play with.

“Marley loved his stay with Lily. She sent lots of photos so we knew Marley was getting lots of love and attention and in good hands. She was accommodating of our late pick up time and was great throughout. We will definitely use again.”

About: I am a reliable, experienced dog lover offering boarding, daycare, and dog walking with a personal touch. I have 2 years of animal care education, have worked at two dog shelters, and have rescued and cared for stray dogs, giving me hands-on experience with all kinds of temperaments. I own and trained two dogs myself from a young age, so I understand the patience and structure needed for happy, well-behaved pups. I live in a 2-bedroom terraced house with a secure garden and high walls, providing a safe space for play and relaxation. Whether it’s a walk, a day visit, or an overnight stay, I treat every dog like family—with love, attention, and regular updates so you can have peace of mind. Pet care is part of my everyday life—I have two dogs of my own, so walks, feeding, playtime, and attention are already built into my routine. I’m used to cleaning up, staying on schedule, and keeping an eye on behavior and health. Caring for other pets feels natural to me, and I treat them with the same love and attention I give my own. I live in a 2 bed terrace house just myself and 2 dogs. They are very friendly and the older one loves to play with other dogs. Plenty of room in the house for your pet to move around in. I also have a backyard which is a good size with very high walls. I have no problem with pets on the furniture or the bed.

About: I've been around animals my whole life, growing up with a large dog and later caring regularly for friends' dogs—and even the occasional rabbit. I'm now the proud owner of a 4-year-old Cocker Spaniel named Jinx and a playful Oriental Shorthair cat named Luna. Caring for animals is second nature to me, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I go on daily walks and love exploring woodlands and beaches—because, let’s be honest, what’s life to a Spaniel without a daily swim? I currently work weekends, so I’m available most weekdays and would be thrilled to have your dog join Jinx and me on our everyday adventures! I have a reasonable sized, fenced garden. Pets are allowed on furniture/beds. Toilet breaks can be as needed. Regular walks and playtime are a guarantee.

“Eva was amazing. Our anxious pup was well-taken cared of. The communication is prompt and reliable. We would definitely book her again.”

About: I am already a dog mom to a 3 year old golden retriever, Charlie. Grew up with dogs, always had dogs as part of our family. I work from home, walk my dog twice a day so it’s already part of my routine prioritising my dog so added another would be easy. How I care for dogs will be how I care for my own, feed them, walk them and give them loads of love and cuddles.

“Jinx had a great time with Kiera and Marley. Communication was excellent and we got regular picture and video updates. Will definitely be making a return visit!”
