Doggy Day Care East Dorset

“Thanks for entertaining Charlie again Jenny. I'm certain that he enjoyed his boat cruise, even if he chose to bark whilst bobbing up and down. He came home pooped and slept very well.”

About: Hi, I’m a mum of two and a huge animal lover offering reliable and caring dog sitting services 🐾 I work from home, so your dog will have plenty of company, attention, and care throughout the day. I have my own little furry family too — a Bishon called Honey and two rabbits — so animals have always been a big part of my life. We live close to the forest and I love taking dogs on walks in nature, as well as trips down to the beach for some fresh air and fun. Whether you need help during the day, while you’re away, or just an extra hand with your dog, I’d love to help and make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while in my care 🐶💕 I work from home, so your dog will always have company throughout the day and won’t be left alone for long periods. I’m able to fit my schedule around the animals, including regular toilet breaks, playtime, feeding, and long walks. Living close to the forest and beach means they’ll also get plenty of fresh air, exercise, and attention I provide a safe, loving, and calm environment where pets are treated like part of the family. As I work from home, pets are rarely left alone and always have company, supervision, and attention throughout the day. I follow each owner’s routine as closely as possible, including feeding times, walks, playtime, medication if needed, and any special instructions to help pets feel comfortable and settled. I live close to the forest and beach, so dogs enjoy plenty of exercise, stimulation, and outdoor time. My home is pet friendly, clean, and secure, and I always make sure animals feel safe, happy, and well cared for while in my home or their owner’s home.

“Outstanding care by Rachael. We received loads of pictures and updates. Her little dog was so good with Sammie, Sammie gets a bit grumpy with some dogs but her dog Alfie is the calmest soul. She took him on walks and made Sammie feel like he was right at home ❤️ would 100% recommend”

About: I love all animals and love spending time with them. I have always been surrounded by animals from dogs to cats, rabbits to fish. I have a wide range of dog experience as I have owned bull dogs, boxers, bull mastiffs, Dogue de Bordeauxs and currently own Griffon Bruxellois aka Brussels Griffons aka grumpy griffons, so i am used to caring for 40kg dogs down to 3.5kg along with new born puppies. My dogs are like my children and understand what is needed to care for yours whilst you are away from yours. I grew up with cats and we were lucky enough to have owned British short hairs, Sphynxs and Maine coons so again I have vast experience with different cats and their different needs. Why Choose Me? * Lifelong experience with dogs and cats from new born through to senior years * Patient, reliable and trustworthy * Able to follow detailed care routines * Regular photo and video updates * Plenty of affection, playtime and enrichment * Comfortable with energetic and active breeds * Flexible and committed to providing personalised care *can offer house sitting, drop ins, dog walks or even boarding at my own home. I am completely flexible as I currently have no work commitments so can work with you to create the perfect care schedule for your four legged friend. In your home I would stick to your preferred routines so to keep your fur baby’s daily life as un disrupted as possible. Along with taking care of your home as if it was mine. For boarding at my home, I am luckily enough to say I have large house a fully enclosed 1/3 acre garden so plenty of space to take care of your dogs whilst trying to mimic their daily life as much as possible within my home.

“I can only repeat what I've already said previously, Angelika and Yanka are great with Pumpkin and its lovely to see how happy Pumpkin is there. Not a bad word to say. As always, thank you taking care of our Pumpkin!”

“Gwen's first day-care visit has been a great success! She was a little anxious for about half an hour at the start (she's only every been cared for by us and friends before) but she soon settled. It was so good to receive an update and photos at lunchtime which showed Gwen having a great day. At collection time, it was a joy to find Gwen running around with Coca, playing with toys and feeling very relaxed. We feel very lucky to have found such a lovely family to look after her!”

“Kima had a great time with Jess who was able to accommodate her at short notice. We received photos while during Kima's day and picked up a happy, tired dog.”

About: We’ve looked after pets for friends and family for over 15 years ,experience with puppies and senior dogs also administering medication I’m home everyday and walk daily. We have experience with Boxer dogs I’m home full time and enjoy walking down by the local river and beach happy to have cuddles and play with energetic dogs with a large back garden. We have a large enclosed secure back garden with real grass and no toxic plants. We know how important it is to carefully follow instructions and a care routine to the letter

About: With over 15 years of experience owning and caring for dogs, cats, and poultry, we understand just how important it is to know your pets are safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. Having loved and cared for family pets for many years, we’re confident in providing a calm, caring, and home-from-home environment. Although we’re currently between dogs ourselves, we really miss having four-legged companionship in our home and would love the opportunity to care for your dog as one of our own. We live in a semi-rural location with a large, secure fenced garden, giving dogs plenty of space to play, explore, and relax. Our home is family-friendly, full of love and attention, and we’re best suited to dogs that are comfortable around children and enjoy plenty of affection, companionship, and, of course, being thoroughly spoilt. Your dog will enjoy a relaxed, home-from-home experience with plenty of love, attention, and companionship throughout the day. Mornings usually begin with a walk in the beautiful local countryside, giving them the chance to stretch their legs, explore, and burn off some energy. Back at home, there’s plenty of time for play, fuss, and relaxation, with access to our large secure garden for outdoor time and sniffing adventures. Throughout the day your pet will be part of family life, never short of attention, affection, or company. Depending on their usual routine and energy levels, we’ll include additional walks, playtime, and quiet downtime to make sure they feel comfortable, happy, and settled. Whether your dog loves adventure, cuddles on the sofa, or a bit of both, we’ll make sure they feel right at home and cared for as if they were our own. Pets staying with us will be cared for in a safe, secure, and loving family home. We have a large fully enclosed garden where dogs can play, explore, and enjoy supervised outdoor time.

“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🥰”

“I cannot rate Sonya highly enough! What an absolutely fantastic sitter. She was prompt, considerate, attentive and conscientious. Wesley is normally very reluctant to go off with people he doesn't know but Sonya ensured that he was well cared for and her patience with him was so special. She paid particular attention to him not over heating, his eating and drinking and his cuddles. I feel so chuffed that we found this true, amazing and capable dogsitter. Thank-you Sonya for your care. And in case it hasn't come across in the above I 100% would trust Sonya with Wesley any time again in the future and recommend her wholeheartedly.”

About: I work from home and had a young at heart 13 year old black lab and retired PAT dog (he passed away in '24) I grew up with a springer spaniel and also had a beautiful bull mastiff. I work from home most days. I do have location work which means I can't look after dogs then. Other than that I can be flexible with notice. My garden is fenced and large. I live opposite a wood and fields so plenty of good walks nearby. Dogs sleep downstairs in an open plan sitting room/kitchen. All wooden floors. No carpets.

“Kirsty & Dan (& Benji!) are 5⭐️ - Our pup Barney absolutely loves going to see them. It’s like a home from home for him. He loves spending time there and playing with Benji. They are very attentive to his needs and I instantly felt comfortable leaving Barney with them. Can’t recommend highly enough.”

About: I’ve done dog sitting before with my previous housemate and looking to do the same on my own. I’ve always loved dogs and have grown up around them, and ever since I was young have always pestered my neighbours to let me take their dogs on walks. I’m currently not working and have very few obligations so I can dedicate almost all my time to looking after and caring for pets! I have a medium sized flat with a fenced garden, right by a large park that is very pet friendly and accessible for all pet sizes!

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.

About: I was fortunate to grow up on a small freeholding in the countryside. My family had donkeys, sheep, chickens, dogs and cats. My special animals were Toffee the donkey, Sam the lamb and Lucy the old English sheepdog! I’m a genuine dog lover who has grown up around dogs my whole life, so caring for them has always come naturally to me. Although I don’t currently have a dog of my own, I’d love the opportunity to look after yours and give them plenty of attention, affection, cuddles, and care while you’re away. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, and pet sitting in your home. I will be happy to offer doggy day care once my secure fencing has been completed. We are so lucky in this area to be surrounded by beautiful fields and walking areas, which are perfect for safe, fun, and active walks for dogs of all sizes and energy levels. Whether your dog enjoys long walks and playtime or prefers a calmer, relaxed environment with lots of company, I’m happy to adapt to their needs and routine. Having grown up with dogs, I understand how important it is for pets to feel comfortable, loved, and secure. I’m patient, reliable, and will always treat your pet as if they were my own. I know leaving your pet with someone else can feel daunting, so I aim to provide a warm, friendly, and trustworthy experience that gives both you and your pet peace of mind. I’m flexible with availability and can spend quality time with your pet to make sure they feel settled, cared for, and happy. I’d love to meet your furry friend and become someone you can rely on whenever you need help with pet care! I work part time as a registered nurse (adult) which gives me plenty of time to care for pets and be outside which I love. I will care for your pets to a very high standard and follow their regular routine set out by you. It will be my pleasure to help with your requirements if I can.

We work from home and are always on hand so your dog gets our full attention, space, and a genuinely relaxed stay. Our home is set on half an acre with secure fencing and gated access, giving plenty of safe outdoor space to explore.

This setup is particularly well suited to: Anxious or sensitive dogs Older dogs who benefit from a quieter environment And of course any dogs who like to be spoiled and be with people in general! It’s not a high-volume service — it’s designed for owners who want complete peace of mind while they’re away. We can also provide: Daily photo and video updates Pick-up and drop-off (by arrangement) Due to the nature of the service, availability is very limited and we tend to book up in advance, particularly during holidays.
