Doggy Day Care in East Devon

“This was Barney's first experience of being left with amother dog in the house. Cherie and Ozzie were so welcoming lots of lovely reassuring photos and Barney had such a lovely time playing with the big basket of toys, that he didn't want to come home”

About: I’ve had dogs in my life for a looong time. I often get called on by friends for dog sitting and walking. We love long walks in the countryside and along the beaches. I work part time and mostly from home so your dog would get plenty of stimulation and walks. I walk my own dog twice a day I have a small fenced garden but mostly walk in the riverside park and meadows across the road. I sometimes take my dog to the beach, or further afield in the car, but I’m flexible to suit your needs.

“Anita took great care of Miller. He loved playing in her gorgeous garden and had clearly had lots of attention and cuddles. I would definitely use Anita again.”

About: We have owned dogs for over 30 years and have just lost our beloved Collie in June and look forward to welcoming dogs into our home again. As I'm retired, I have plenty of time on my hands and am happy to walk dogs, house sit or welcome them into our home. We have a small fenced garden, mainly made up of lawn and terrace. It's totally secure and safe for pets and we have no other pets of our own.

About: Hello! My name is Emily and I am 21. I have grown up with a terrier-spaniel cross breed since I was 7 and I have knowledge in puppy care and high senior care because of this! Comforting my dog in her last days of life has been an honour, and I wish to comfort any age of animal for however long I can because I know how deeply important it is for that pet to feel positivity, fun and love. I have a full clean UK driving license and a provisional moped license. Currently volunteering at the Cats Protection League in Exeter. Furthermore; I have fostered with Feline Network (July24-January25). My puppy care consists of keeping them busy, playing, walking, letting them rest, feeding them and to keep them safely socialised. I am also comfortable with cleaning up messes! My senior care for dogs consist of handling the animal comfortably, playing when they aren't too tired to, feeding them, helping with medication feeding and giving them some patient walks or garden time. I also have general other pet care considering hamsters, guinie pigs, rabbits, chickens, fish and others. I have many days and nights free to pet sit and socialise. I am currently working close to full time with split shifts but with your dates and timings I could alternatively easily help out:) I am able to crate your dog if need be. Give them consistent walks, toilet breaks and play time whilst dog sitting. I would easily keep a close eye on pets to always check in on them especially if they have any health issues, but also in social interactions to keep them and others safe. I would also keep all dogs on a lead for walks unless told or agreed with otherwise.

“What a lovely young couple to leave our Rufus with. They were kind and very thoughtful and i believe Rufus enjoyed himself greatly with them. I highly recomend them.”

“Lovely welcoming people. My dog liked being with other dogs and going out for long walks as part of the group. An adventure with people who loved him.”

About: Martyn and I miss having dogs in our lives and their positive impact on our daily activities. Our own family dogs (now no longer with us) were companions on our many day trips and lengthy camper van holidays in the UK and abroad. We raised and trained them from puppies to their senior years, meeting their changing needs as the years rolled by. We both retired early and will be able to meet your pets needs in terms of activity and human companionship. Your dog will be walked twice a day, or as per your instructions and will have the run of our bungalow and fenced garden. We would expect to take your dog out on errands and day trips if that is what your dog would like and we live close to the beach and countryside for walks. Our home has no other pets or any children living with us Your dog will be part of our family during their stay with us. The bungalow is warm in the winter, with many shady spots in the summer, and the garden fence is high and secure. Your dog will have a permanent designated space for water, food and bed and will be fed on time, according to your instructions. We are very digitally competent and will send you regular photos and written messages. If we are caring for your dog in your home, we will be careful with security and will update you on how they are doing without you. In all cases, we will alert any dog owner to any welfare concerns. We prefer to walk dogs on leads until we are certain your dog has attached to us and will safely return and while we don’t want dogs on our furniture and beds, they get all the cuddles they need when we sit and play with them on the floor. We are happy to discuss any of your concerns.

“We left our lurcher with Danielle whilst we went to a rugby match. Despite the pouring rain she took her out for a walk (thank you)! She had 1 other dog there and they did not get along when they met so she kept them separate, which seemed to work well.”

“Maisie is absolutely amazing and our Ella had just the best time with her and her 18 month old cocker. Can’t thank Maisie enough and for all the photo and video updates. Would totally recommend, Ella couldn’t have had any more fun.”

“Caspar came home to us his usual happy self after his first day care with Sarah. He was evidently loved and appreciated whilst away from us and all instructions were followed. We shall be happy to ask Sarah to look after him another time.”

“Alberto was absolutely brilliant with Gizmo and I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better first daycare experience. Gizmo had a full day of lovely walks, socialising with another dog and lots of stimulation, and it was clear from the photos/videos that he was having an amazing time and was really comfortable and happy. Communication was great, and Alberto was really calm, kind, reassuring and knowledgeable. Gizmo came home happy, relaxed and completely exhausted 😂 Would absolutely recommend and will definitely be booking again. Thank you so much!”

“Chaz had a great time he enjoyed the company of another dog. We will be using Bethany again. Great service”

About: I've had dogs most of life: as loved family pets and taking care of friends and neighbours dogs for long and short stays. I love going out on the beach for a long walk with them, up on the common or playing games at home. I have 1 family dog who comes to stay often who is blind so I'm used to dogs who need a bit more love and attention. We'll start with a morning walk on the beach or the Maer, some breakfast and then a couple of hours down time until a lunch time wander. After work, we'll have a longer walk over the cliffs, on the common or along the beach. Can play fetch or other games and then home for a chilled evening. I work full time mostly from home and only have doggos to stay on days I am at home. I can use a crate for your dog if needed, or have plenty of space for a bed of theirs. They can bring toys over too. I don't have a garden but live right by the beach and gardens and can go out during the day as well as morning and after work if they need it. I'm happy to have your dog overnight too.

“Annabel was great with Eddie! She took him out on multiple walks and gave us regular updates. Eddie is quite nervous but seemed really happy when we picked him up. Her dad was also super lovely!”

“Ezra has had a wonderful time today with Bernice. He has come home well and truly played out! It was lovely knowing how well he was being looked after whilst I was at work. Thank you so much ????”

About: I have extensive knowledge and experience of dogs. In the past i have volunteered at my local kennel club as a training assistant. In march I got a rescue springer spaniel (grizzle), but also live at my family home with 2 childhood dogs (indie and ivy). So have had many years of caring and looking after doggos and puppies too. In the past our dogs have had behavioural struggles, I have extensive knowledge of the challenges this can pose for owners. I am looking to donate some of my time to help other individuals with the care of there dogs. I am very friendly and warm. I am post-graduate student finishing my masters. I studied at Swansea University and also did my undergraduate there. But have recently moved back to my family home, so I am based in Devon. As I’m settling into living back at home, I have a very flexible schedule, with a lot of spare time, which I would very much enjoy spending it with dogs or cats. I will make sure to care for your pets. Through my knowledge I will access how the pet behaviours and their temperament. This will allow to meet there needs whether this lots of cuddles and love or if they prefer their space or maybe playing.
