Doggy Day Care Fordingbridge

About: Having recently retired from the Fire and Rescue Service after more than 35 years of dedicated service as a Fire Investigation Officer and Specialist Search Dog Handler, I am now offering reliable, professional 24/7 pet sitting services. I live in the heart of the New Forest, where I spend every day exercising and enjoying the outdoors with my two retired Fire Service dogs, who are now much-loved family pets. As a lifelong dog owner with over 20 years’ experience training and handling dogs alongside both the Fire and Police Services, I understand the highest standards of canine care, welfare, and behaviour. For your pet’s comfort and safety, I have a purpose-built K9 transport vehicle and am fully trained in K9 First Aid. Whether you need overnight care, extended pet sitting, or regular companionship for your dog, you can be confident they will receive experienced, compassionate, and professional care in a safe and trusted environment. Having retired from the fire service and being the owner of 2 pet dogs living in the heart of the New Forest I spend every day out and about in the fresh air with my beloved k9 companions. I live in a detached property within a quiet area of Fordingbridge with an enclosed front and rear garden covered by cctv. I have access to lots of nearby walks and can access the New Forest within 5 mins from my home address.

“Perfect day care for our dog Fergie last weekend. Matthew was so nice and friendly and kept in contact through the day with photos. Highly recommend ??”

Rachel J.

“Thank you so much! Abbey and Owen have a great dog friendly house and know what dogs need to keep them happy. My older Jack Russell stayed for two days (day care) while I was at the New Forest Show. He had a great time nosing around the garden, playing ball and sleeping...it was great to know that he was well taken care of.”

“Cassidy was brilliant with Sandy, she had the best day and was kept posted throughout the whole day. Thank you for having her. Would not hesitate to ask you again”

Emily M.

“Jenny took on my dog for day care and was very supportive to ensure Toffee relaxes quickly (Toffee is a nervous dog). She asked a lot of questions in advance and we were really well prepared for the actual care. She has a great and calm approach to the dog. There are also really nice green spaces nearby where they were able to wander. Toffee didnt want to come back! We will book more, thank you”

“Very happy with the care given to Bella, who had a great day playing with their lovely puppy and son. Will be very happy to ask for their help again. Their knowledge and dog handling skills were evident. Exe@ent service. Thank you.”

“Jaffa loves her visits with Alexis and always comes home tired from all her fun. Coco has been very patient with our puppy and teaching her how to play nicely with other dogs. Alexis keeps us well informed throughout the day of what Jaffa has been up to with pictures and what their walks looks like. She also listens to all our routines and asks and is very flexible with timings due to work commitments. We will 100% be using Alexis in future, thanks so much for your help so far :)”

“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.”

Amy B.

“I left my dog Merlin with Sammy for the day yesterday. She welcomed him into her home and put him at ease. I felt relaxed leaving him, knowing that he was being well looked after. I would highly recommend Sammy”

Dave F.

“Karen was great with Piper. Piper had an injured paw and had it bandaged up which meant she had to be more quiet and still than normal. Karen understood and kept Pipet company while also making sure she didn’t get too excited.”

About: I have looked after friends dogs for years - I have an enclosed secure garden for any dog to run in. I am relaxed and considerate to needs. I work from home and will always be here for your pet. They will never be left on their own and treat as I would my own I treat all dogs the same as I would our own and ensure they are cared for and loved. So many great walks from our house they will never get bored. Plenty of toys and a huge garden to play in.

“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🥰”

“Rosie had a great time spending the day with Estera and Jay. Had updates and photos throughout the day and great communication before the visit too.”

Amy N.

“Gateaux had such a great time with Sonya and Lee for her two days in their care. Sonya sent such lovely photos of Gateaux and a video of her playing so I was really reassured that she was in the best hands whilst I had to work. Gateaux was happy and relaxed on collection. Really great communication as well. I can’t recommend enough!”
