Doggy Day Care Dorchester

“Our dog Rudy had the best day with Alexandra! We requested to book only the day before, Alexandra kindly accepted and helped us out with our urgent request and we couldn’t have been happier to find her. She was so professional, doing everything she could to ensure Rudy had a safe and happy stay with her, and providing loads of photos and info on the lovely country walk they went on. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her and will be using her for any future dog sitting needs.”

“If I could give Cathy 100 stars I would!! Brilliant doggy dare care for our Bailey. I was nervous leaving Bailey for the first time, he's a Bichepoo, 12 years old and can be anxious/needy. Cathy reassured me, and from the minute we met, Bailey was comfortable to be left. He stayed for the day, and Cathy sent lots of pictures, he clearly was having a great time, with her dog Barney and Maggie a Bichon Frise! I highly recommend Cathy and will definitely be taking Bailey again.”

“Amy was fantastic with Colin. She obviously made him feel very comfortable and took lots of gorgeous photos. She was a perfect fit for our little monster of a puppy. I recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter.”

“Trudy is the best dog sitter I’ve ever used! She took such good care of Logan, and kept me updated with lots of pictures and videos throughout the day. She has been so kind and flexible and I have already rebooked her for two more dates! Highly recommend!”

“We met Ross a few weeks ago to introduce ourselves and our dog, Eddie. Yesterday we left Eddie with Ross for a full day and it's obvious that Eddie was very well looked after and that they enjoyed each other's company. There are some lovely walks where Ross lives so the two of them went out walking. Ross sent us some photos and updates throughout the day which is lovely. We will definitely use Ross's service again and have no hesitation in recommending him.”

About: I’ve looked after dogs for several years both my own and other people’s. I have experience with dogs of all ages and love looking after puppies as much as older dogs. I often work from home so I’m able to give dogs lots of love and attention, I have a large fenced garden and loads of toys for them to play with. A usual day involves long walks, playing in the house and garden, playing with toys and enrichment activities and lots of cuddles! The house is very secure with a gate and wall at the garden so when coming in and out there is no chance of a dog escaping. The house is a few minutes walk from a large field where we regularly take our dog and there are lots of other great walks nearby.

About: My wife, Pisamai and myself have always had a dog until our beloved Dalmatian, Lexi died last year. We miss her so much, but travel a lot, so thought looking after other people's dogs might fill the void! My wife, Pisamai and myself are retired, so unless we are traveling, we spend most of our time either walking, cycling, or at home in Weymouth. We live in Weymouth and have fully fenced garden. We live 10 minutes walk from a beach and numerous other walks, including the Dorset Coast path.

About: I have always had dogs in my life and genuinely love spending time with them. I have experience caring for different breeds and sizes, including a Cocker Spaniel, Labrador, Border Collie, French Poodles and mixed-breed dogs. I had my own Cocker Spaniel, Jack, who was a very special part of my life. Since moving to Portland, I really miss having a dog around, so dog walking and pet care feels like the perfect way for me to spend time with dogs again while doing something I already love — walking! I am caring, patient, responsible and attentive to each dog's individual personality and routine. I understand that every dog is different, so I am happy to follow the owner's instructions regarding walks, feeding, routines and any particular preferences. Most importantly, I would look after your dog with the same care and affection I would want someone to give my own. 🐾 I work shifts, so my availability varies throughout the week, which actually gives me plenty of flexibility for both weekday and weekend walks. I love longer walks and I’m happy to arrange regular or occasional walks around my schedule. I’m also available for pet visits and pet sitting. Having both a car and a motorbike gives me the flexibility to travel around Portland and Weymouth depending on the weather and your pet’s needs. Just send me a message and we can find a time that works for you and your dog. I understand how important it is to trust the person looking after your dog. I will always follow your instructions and your dog's usual routine, including feeding, walking preferences and any special requirements. I’m patient and attentive, and I’ll take the time to get to know your dog and what makes them feel comfortable and safe. I’m also happy to send you photos and updates while they’re with me.

“Great service. Very caring young lady who looks after our Spaniel like her own. Completely trustworthy and helpful. Local to me but I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter that cares.”

“Jane took great care of our silly pup Flo for the evening - her dog Watson and Flo had a wonderful time and communication was great, would recommend!”

“We couldn’t be happier with our experience with Danielle and partner! From the moment I left Mika on the first day, they were incredibly warm and welcoming—not just to me, but most importantly to my 38kg Bernese puppy, Mika. Finding a daycare that’s not only comfortable with larger breeds but truly understands them can be tough, but they were amazing. Mika can be a bit shy at first, but they were so patient and accommodating, giving her all the time she needed to settle in. They clearly love what they do, and it shows in how happy and relaxed Mika is when I pick him up. It’s such a relief knowing he was in caring, capable hands—and getting plenty of play and cuddles with Caesar while at theirs. Definitely would book again! Thank you so much!”

“Alana was fantastic! She took great care of Vixen and kept me updated throughout. You can tell she genuinely loves animals and takes her walking duties seriously. Reliable, friendly, and attentive—highly recommended!”

“Izzy was great with Pep, easy to communicate with, and very flexible, which we really appreciated. She followed all the care instructions for Pep, and provided him with a relaxing environment at her place whilst we were working. Thanks a lot!!!”
