Doggy Day Care in East Renfrewshire

About: I’ve been a dog person since I was 11, when my first dog Lady came into my life unexpectedly and utterly changed it. She was re-homed with us when her family moved abroad and from the moment she arrived, she became my dog. That bond was instant, magical, and honestly addictive. Since then, I’ve owned, loved, boarded, walked, and cared for dogs of all shapes and sizes and my life is fuller for it. I believe dogs are basically permanently furry toddlers. They need love, routine, reassurance, stimulation, and above all someone who treats them with the same care you’d give your own child. That’s exactly the kind of care I provide. I offer a calm, safe, affectionate home environment with plenty of company, structured walks, and space to relax. I take time to get to know each dog’s personality and routine so they feel secure and at ease while you’re away. Whether they’re a nervous first timer or a seasoned house guest, I tailor care to suit them. I’m happy to stay overnight, keeping your dog comfy, safe, and spoiled in their own space. You can relax knowing your dog is safe, happy, and genuinely cared for like one of the family. My regular availability for boarding is Friday evening from 7pm to Monday evening at 7pm, ( I can collect) perfect for weekend getaways or short breaks. I also have extra time during the summer holidays and festive periods, so feel free to reach out, I’m always happy to help if I can! If boarding with me your pet will have access to a secure, fenced garden for outdoor time and play. While I don’t have crates myself, I’m more than happy for your dog to bring their own bed, crate, blankets, or comfort items, whatever helps them relax and feel at ease.

About: Hello! I’m Amy, and I’d love to hang out with your precious pup! I’ve grown up with dogs, including a beloved Westie who was by my side from the time I was 3 until I was 17. My whole extended family are dog lovers, so I’ve always been surrounded by—and helped care for—dogs of all shapes and sizes. Our current family dog is Kaia, a rescue stray who lives with my parents. I miss her every day! Kaia came to us as a very anxious girl, so I’m especially comfortable with nervous or shy dogs and always do my best to make them feel at ease. She’s also extremely clingy and has no sense of personal space—so if that sounds like your dog, we’ll get along great! I live in a ground-floor flat with a lovely big garden for playing, and we’re just a five-minute walk from Queen’s Park. My partner is home in the evenings and on weekends—we’re an active couple who love taking day trips to the beach or up into the hills, and we’d be thrilled to bring your dog along (if they’re into that kind of thing). Feel free to reach out with any questions—I can’t wait to meet your pup! I work from home 4 days a week and can be flexible on the day I work in the office. Weekends I am generally available. I live in a ground-floor flat with easy access to the garden. We have a small fence but our garden only backs on to other tenement gardens, so no great escapes! Happy to keep leads on while in the garden to be extra safe. We’re just 5 minutes from Queen’s Park which is perfect for big walks.

“Lynn was so welcoming to both me and Daisy Duke. She’s such a wonderful host for wee puppy Daisy. Daisy got to wander around her lovely enclosed garden and have lots of cuddles on the sofa. She was really chilled and happy. I’ll definitely be back in touch to book again. Thanks Lynn!”

About: I grew up on a farm, there were always multiple dogs around and I was obsessed with them from the start. As soon as we got a house with a garden we set about getting a dog of our own, Beans is a Cocker Spaniel - almost 3 years old and super friendly! I work from home full time running my own business, so I'm always available when the dogs need me. My wife Lucy works 9-5 3.5 days per week, and also loves dogs, so there are 2 of us around more often than not! We have a fenced garden and dogs are allowed to roam free in the house (unless you'd prefer otherwise). Beans is always available as a willing playmate to keep your pooch entertained!

“Really good as always. Thank you for looking after Bear.”

“Our dog really enjoyed day care with Paul. We got lots of updates during the day which we really liked. Paul responded to messages really quickly and was very accommodating when we were running late to pick up our dog.”

“Kiera and her mum were so friendly. They were wonderful with our two pups. They were flexible with the booking and even helped us out by letting me drop off the pups' things earlier in the day on my way to work. Our dogs had a great time and can't wait to hang out with Keira again!”

HIGHLY RECOMMEND ❤️❤️❤️”

About: My partner Murray and I are both experienced pet sitters who have cared for a variety of pets either within their own homes or our own for up to one month. Life-long animal lovers who grew up with a family dogs and cats as well as many other kinds of animals including rodents, insects, fish, and reptiles (including two leopard geckos, one of which I had for 21 years!). Please feel free to reach out to us if you have ANY kind of pet that needs caring for! We can discuss rates dependent on the level of care needed. My partner Murray and I both work fully remote/from home so your pet will rarely be left alone and never for any extended period of time. We have a combined 10+ years of pet-sitting experience and have dealt with dozens of different dogs, breeds, personalities and circumstances. We are attentive and intuitive to your pet’s needs and will give them affection and attention or space and support depending on what makes them feel safe and comfortable. Your pet is welcome on the bed/sofa and we will give them lots of love and cuddles! I can offer long walks (1+ hours) several times a day where required and lots of adventuring around Pollock Park - we have a bath if they get a bit mucky! 🐾 It is important to note that if your dog is prone to accidents or sickness then unfortunately we will not be able to have them on the bed, however they will still be allowed on the sofa through the day. If this is the case they will need to be comfortable sleeping in a separate room. We are effective at building trust with animals and we are very experienced with rescues - Lucinda having grown up with one and cared for many since. We take pride in being able to quickly bond with shy/nervous dogs and bring out the best in them. Please check out our reviews! ✨ It is absolutely essential that you are honest with us about your pet and their needs/requirements. The more we know the more safe and supported we can make sure your pet feels while you are away.

“Anna knows what she is doing, how to handle even a somewhat tricky, at times nervous dog. Very happy to have Ziggy staying with her again, since we have full trust in her.”

About: With years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, I bring more than just love—I bring knowledge, patience, and reliability. Whether it’s teaching a puppy basic manners or providing gentle, attentive care to senior dogs with special needs, I tailor my approach to each pet’s unique personality and requirements. I treat every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Your peace of mind and your pet’s comfort are my top priorities. Up until last year, I’ve had my own dog, Jake the springer spaniel, so have had great experience in taking care of them. I’ve got a beautiful garden space that your furry friend can use and enjoy. Looking forward to meeting you and your beautiful dog soon ❤️. I work remotely and have lots of flexibility in my schedule to ensure your pup gets all the attention they need from long morning walks, playtime in the garden in the afternoon, and evening snuggles on the sofa. I have a fenced yard the backs onto a tennis court so there is always an unlimited supply of tennis balls that make their way into the garden.

“Lina is a great sitter- always keeps me up to date with check ins and photos of my pup. She and her husband are lovely and look after dogs so well. Thank you again.”

“Desiree was great! She helped me on short notice, was very communicative and it looks like Bo had a great time with her. She arrived prepared and quickly bonded with Bo. Will definitely book with her again!”

About: I have a strong foundation in animal care through both hands-on experience and formal training. Over the past few years, I’ve worked in veterinary hospitals and zoos, gaining valuable insight into animal behaviour, handling, and welfare. I’ve also studied animal care in depth, covering everything from basic health checks and feeding routines to cleaning, enrichment, and supporting animals in recovery. I’m confident, calm, and always focused on providing the best possible care I’m starting college soon, but I’ve made room in my schedule to keep doing what I love, spending time with animals. I’m available most weekdays after 3pm, and fully available on weekends for walks, drop-ins or boarding. Animal care gives me purpose and company alongside my studies, so I always give it my full attention and care. We live in a flat, but we’re lucky to have a safe and quiet walking route nearby that’s ideal for regular walks and outdoor time. I always follow care instructions closely and make sure every pet feels safe, calm, and cared for in my presence. Whether it’s feeding, playtime, or just company while you’re away, I treat every animal with patience and respect.

I’ve recently taken early retirement and I am looking to provide pet boarding for your pets. I will only ever look after pets from one family at a time and your pets will have the best loving care. I live with my wife Hazel who is also a volunteer for the All Dog Rescue Scotland. We adore animals and regularly look after our friends pets when they are on holiday. Our home has a large garden which is fully secure and fenced off and we allow pets on the couches and in the beds. Your pets would be treated as family. I am happy to have a complimentary meet and greet at my home before you make a booking so that you can see how I interact with your pets. I have experience with all ages of pets and I am used to looking after rescue dogs with anxiety and other issues. There are lots of lovely walks around my home including a nice riverbank walk which dogs love and a large park a few hundred yards from my house. I have recently taken early retirement. My wife is still working and I’m at home and happy to be with your pets and give them a lovely home from home environment. I have a large garden with a 6 feet high fence which is fully enclosed. I will only offer boarding for one family’s pets at a time. I will not have any other pets present in the home. Pets are welcome on couches and beds.

“Beichen was so helpful and polite to me and Ralph. She kept me updated and I know he had a great time from the photos. It looked like he had a great weekend with her. I would strongly recommend her.”

“Ralfie had a great day with Claire and her dog and enjoyed his big walk to the local park. Thank you again for looking after him and keeping me updated throughout the day. Ralfie would love to be watched again!!”

About: I’ve always cared deeply about animals since I was a child, sneaking stray dogs or cats into my childhood bedroom, feeding wildlife or seeking medical help for injured birds, I always felt it was my responsibility to protect those who couldn’t speak for themselves. When I became an adult and was fortunate enough to travel I volunteered across many animals shelters around the world, here I learned a great deal about animal behaviour and animal care. I am new to Rover so I currently don’t have any pets at home to care for. I only work 6 months of the year and would like to dedicate my few months off to loving some dogs I can feeds dogs, take them for long walks in parks and plenty of cuddles. Give them all the love in a safe and peaceful environment.
