Doggy Day Care in Darlington

“Amy has been amazing with our 2 Chihuahua pups and they came home in high spirits after day care at her house! Amy was very attentive and shared pictures of them relaxing and out and about. I could tell they had a really nice time!”

About: I have grown up around dogs. I’ve had four of my own, training them as puppies and nursing 3 of them through their senior years. My home is a two minute walk to the river and is right next to a forest, set in the centre of a golf course, far from busy traffic, meaning your pet will have lots of safe and exciting walks. This is the perfect place for pets! I am an artist who works from home so will have lots of time to play with your pup. I love walking around my local area and your Good Boys and Girls will love it too. I have lawned front garden (un-fenced) and a large fully enclosed rear courtyard. I have one friendly, playful little dog to keep your pet company.

About: I've had dogs all my adult life a border collie till he was 18yrs old a jack Russell who was also 18yrs old.

I have a totally enclosed back garden and my living room door leads straight into it. I have my own extremely friendly loving jack/chowawa which gets on with other dogs.

About: When taking care of your pets I will ensure to stick to any schedules and provide great care of your pets. I will also play with and help train your dog(s) (I cannot train cat's or small animals). My dog wakes me up at 7 but I tend to only go for a short walk with him and go back to bed and fully wake up around 9am (can wake up earlier) and feed my dog around this time and also take him out for a potty break. I play with him and train him taking him on a few more walks. His last potty break is at 10:30pm and I will sleep at 12am I have two enclosed yards and I am crate training my own dog and can provide crate training if needed. I make sure to keep my home as clean as I can to ensure that there's nothing that my dog (or any other animal) can ingest that they shouldn't have

About: I absolutely love dogs and love having buddies over for my French Bulldog Frankie to play with! I love long walks, games and snuggles I have 2 teenagers who are doggy mad too, so lots of help around me. I work but for myself around the corner from home so I either work at home during the day or take the doggies with me to the office Weeeknds I am usually at home Loving and calm household, ready to offer a safe space to your best friend. I like to offer a home from home environment where your dog can feel relaxed and at ease.

About: I (Emily) have been a dog Walker / sitter for over 16 years, looking after every sort of dog, I love them all! My husband (Sam) and I have done home boarding on and off over the years but we recently lost our beautiful dog Lola, heartbroken and with a very quiet house we would love to start home boarding again. Your dog would bring us so much comfort and be absolutely spoilt rotten! My husband works from home full time and I am a dog Walker so your dog gets the best of both worlds, if they prefer to stay at home they will have the company of my husband and if they love their walks I can take them to work with me. Whether we are taking care of your pet in our home or yours, their safety is always our main priority. We will want to know as much about your pet as possible so we can give them the best care, making sure they will always be safe and happy.

About: I grew up around animals my whole life, from dogs, cats to pigs and goats, I have always loved animals and treated them as part of the family. From a young age I bathed, groomed and walked my family cats and dogs. I am now a professional basketball player and worked with pet owners in different countries and cities throughout my career. I have recently moved to Darlington to settle down with my boyfriend and am looking forward to helping you with your pets and any care they may need. No task is too demanding or request too silly. I play basketball for the Newcastle Eagles, we train most evening 6-8 but the rest of the time I’m free! So I can be with your pet nearly 24/7, when i leave the house at 5 my boyfriend gets home 30minutes later , so someone is always home with the doggie. I love going to the park right next to us which is dog friendly, we are not near a busy road at all. I’m happy to sit back for cuddles and movies with doggie slobber all over as much as i am playing with toys and keeping them entertained when they get the zoomies. I’m happy to adapt, and understand the importance of sticking to similar routines and schedules. I believe every home should be treated with care and respect like I would my own, and of course it be left as I found it. I am happy to clean up and do any additional tasks whilst I am pet sitting your home if needed. Forgot to get the clothes out the dryer ? Happy to help, just ask 😊

About: I have been around pets my entire life and have had my own pets, dogs, cats and hamsters. I enjoy spending time with animals and looking after them.

“Bess had an absolutely lovely day with Emma. Emma stepped in at very short notice and gave Bess some lovely walks, including off leash and stimulation. She was very relaxed with Bess from the first moment we met and I could see that Bess was totally comfortable with her. I would not hesitate to recommend Emma as a dog sitter - fantastic, thank you.”

About: Huge dog lover and have plenty of experience being around dogs. I have previously had two large family dogs and love all dogs big and small! I have experience with caring for older dogs too and dealt with administering medication and providing oral care. I currently work shift patterns and am looking for a way to spend my spare time taking care of people’s pets and giving plenty of ear scratches! I love walking, and have experience walking other peoples dog. Ensuring they are well looked after and get plenty of fresh air and a good run round! I currently work shift patterns and usually get 4 days off at a time allowing me to be flexible with my rest days. I live a quite life and am looking for a way to spend my spare time being surrounded by furry friends and giving the best care! I live in a semi detached house with my partner (also a big dog lover!) with a fenced small garden allowing room to play with pets. I consider myself a reliable and responsible person who would ensure any pet is looked after with great care. I have lived with dogs for over 15 years and have had plenty of experience walking them (especially big dogs).

“We just came back from Newcastle back to Nottingham and we are so happy that had a chance leave Chster with Leanne and her wonderful family. Chez really loved Zeus. Zeus is absolutely beautiful dog. Definitely recommend Leanne if you want your dog to have good play with Zeus and great walks.”

About: I’ve had dogs around me since childhood, growing up with a black Labrador, Angel, and a Great Dane, Blue, so caring for dogs has always been a part of my life. While I can’t have a dog permanently right now, dog sitting is the next best thing! I’m very attentive and make sure every dog I care for feels right at home, safe and loved. I enjoy taking dogs on short or long walks based on their needs, and if they’re the cuddly type, I’m more than happy to pamper them with affection. Check out my testimonials to see how happy my furry clients (and their owners) have been! I work fully remotely so I am fully flexible on when you need pet care. This means I can have dogs with me on any day of the week, I am able to take them on walks before I start work online, on my lunch break and after work. My garden is fully fenced which they can run around in, I can cater for a crate in the house if needed, whatever they prefer. There are lots of great walking routes located around the house including a nature reserve just 5 minutes away. I drive so am able to take the dog's place/help with picking up and dropping off if needed. Please note the house is quite open plan so would prefer a crate to be available to use where possible.

About: I have experience in caring for puppies to senior dogs of over 25 years. I regularly take care of two dashund and a labrador and spaniel which I love! The sausages as I call them love to snuggle all day after a walk, while the larger dogs love an adventure in the woods or moorland before coming home to the fire and snuggles! I currently have various days at home each week, I miss having my boy and would love to have some company on my days off! I have a large fenced garden at home with no mud! A large house for your dog to enjoy, they are welcome on my sofa and upstairs. In your own home I am happy to follow your routine to ensure your friend stays happy and comfortable.
