Doggy Day Care Freshwater

“Drew was really welcoming to our dog, the photos we got show she was relaxed and she seemed happy and calm when we collected her. Drew was happy to be flexible when we weren't too sure what day we wanted and replied to messages promptly. We would happily use her again when visiting the Isle of Wight.”

“Jean was absolutely lovely. She introduced Daisy to her 2 dogs gently which was really kind and thoughtful. As soon as she saw Daisy we knew she would be very happy there whilst we were at the beach. Will definitely be using Jean again this holiday and in the future!”

About: I’ve spent my whole life caring for animals and genuinely love being around them. Over the years I’ve cared for dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, fish and chickens, so I’m confident looking after pets with very different personalities, routines and needs. I’m friendly, reliable and attentive, and I understand how important it is to know your pets are in safe, caring hands while you’re away. I’m happy with feeding, walks, playtime, companionship and keeping to their usual routines, while giving them plenty of fuss and attention along the way. 😊 I’m available every day and have plenty of flexibility as I work part-time from home. This means I can easily fit pet care around my daily routine, including regular walks, feeding, playtime and plenty of attention. I’m happy to accommodate different routines and can be flexible with timings to suit you and your pets. I understand how important it is to know your pets are in safe and caring hands. I’ll always follow their usual routine and your instructions carefully, whether I’m caring for them in their own home or mine. I’m attentive, reliable and will make sure they receive plenty of company, affection, exercise and care while you’re away.

“Stephanie has been fab with Frankie - flexible and helpful, and Frankie has had anyone from home experience - even treated to a doggie icecream on a hot day! Thank you Stephanie - we will definitely call on you again if we need doggy day care when we are next visiting family. 😁”

About: Hi there, I am Lisa. My wife and I work from home and we would love to have your lovely dog come stay with us! We currently have a gorgeous 2y old black miniature poodle boy (neutered) who is very friendly and easy-going. I also had another dog previously from puppy to 15 y old, so I am an experienced owner and comfortable with all sizes, breeds and personalities! We know how important it is to find someone local you can trust - we hope we can be those people for you and will care for your pet as if they are our own, with plenty of walks, playtime, cuddles and regular photo updates. Happy to meet before and see how we get on! With our dog we do a big walk in the morning and late-afternoon/evening at one of our dogs many favourite spots - the park, forest or seaside. Our poodle loves the water so a swim is definitely on the cards for a hot day! Then they can cuddle up while we both work at home usually. We break the day up with games in the garden, like fetch, tug or find-it, and are always available for cuddles. We're happy to adapt to your dogs energy and requirements. We have a decent sized bungalow with a big garden and secure fence. Your dog can make themselves comfortable wherever they fancy and we will always keep an eye on them while they are settling in.

“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”

“Ralph had a fantastic day with Annabelle! She was so lovely and welcoming. Annabelle kept me updated throughout the day with messages and photos, sharing what they got up to and how their walk went. It was such a comfort knowing Ralph was in great hands. Highly recommend 😃”

About: I have over 30 years of experience owning and caring for dogs of all sizes and breeds, including Border Collies, Jack Russell Terriers, Bedlington Terriers, Labradors, and Cocker Spaniels. Throughout the years, I have developed a deep understanding of the unique personalities, traits, and needs of different dogs, adapting my care to help each one thrive. I have supported dogs through every stage of life, from puppyhood to adulthood and into their senior years, providing nurturing care, training, guidance, and companionship. I am passionate about building strong bonds with animals and helping them become happy, well-rounded, and confident companions. In addition to dogs, I have also owned and cared for several cats, which has further strengthened my knowledge and love of animal care. I am extremely passionate about animals and pride myself on providing a professional, reliable, and compassionate service. I dedicate my full attention, energy, and experience to every dog and cat I care for, treating them as if they were my own. Families can trust that their beloved pets will receive the highest level of care, attention, and affection while in my hands. I am self-employed and work flexible hours, which allows me to tailor my schedule around the needs of the pets in my care. This flexibility means I am available for daytime visits, evening care, weekends, holidays, and overnight stays. I can provide reliable and consistent care, ensuring dogs receive the attention, exercise, companionship, and routine they need while their owners are away. I am happy to care for pets in their own home through house sitting, helping them remain comfortable in familiar surroundings while giving owners peace of mind that both their pets and property are safe and secure. Alternatively, I can provide a warm, welcoming home environment with a secure garden, ideally located near the coast and the New Forest for enjoyable walks and outdoor adventures. As there are no other animals in my home, your pet will receive my full attention in a calm and stress-free setting.

“Thank you Jo for looking after Luna she had the best day! And thanks to Lola who graciously shared her toys, garden and walk! We’ll see you again very soon ;)”

“Nyomi was amazing from start to finish! Eric absolutely loved spending the day with her, as soon as he got in he curled up on the sofa and slept so I know ut was a day well spent. Nyomi’s flexibility was great I messaged pretty late with my request and she’s came straight back which made me feel at ease. I had pupdates throughout the day, which was lovely and Eric was having such a fab time on his walk. Will absolutely use Nyomi again! I felt Eric was in amazing hands and I highly recommend! Thank you Nyomi!”

About: Both me and my partner were managers at the Pets Corners in New Milton and in Ringwood who provide classroom training on all aspects of owning a pet. I have owned 2 cats and currently have a golden retriever who is 3 years old. We are both very good at basic training and are athletic people. My partner and I work remote jobs so will be at home during the week and weekends to care for your pets around the clock. We will be able to Feed, play, walk, brush, toilet and help with basic training (if required). Loads of local fields, rivers and the beach is just a 10 minutes walk away.

About: My beloved dog, Crumble, joined tennis ball heaven last year and ever since then, there has been a huge paw shaped hole in our hearts. Life means it’s tricky to have our own fur baby again for a few years and instead, we’ve enjoyed the company of others. We have had dogs for over 20 years and are very comfortable with excitable young puppies as much as caring for senior dogs with medication needs etc. I am a secondary school teacher, teaching locally in a comprehensive for over 20 years being Head of Subject and Head of Year. Tristan also works as a specialist technician at school. We would love to use our weekends and school holidays between now and Christmas this year for furry companionship. In addition to teaching in school, I also privately tutor and work from home two to three days a week and therefore also have the ability to do some term time day based care and support until Christmas 2026. Thereafter, I am solely working from home on a part time basis, and won’t be in school and so will have full availability to be able to have dog company all day, every day. We promise to offer love, care and undivided attention for your pooch! We currently work part time and full time in a local school. This means that in school holiday time we have no work and can just give full attention to your dog’s needs. The same applies for weekends throughout the school year and any week day care we have capacity for up until Christmas this year. Then from January l will solely working from home on a part time basis as I will just have my private tutoring business and therefore have full capacity for every option for dog care all day, every day . If we have a dog with us it will never be left unsupervised and will always have at least one of our full attention I am just completing my Professional Dog Walkers and Sitters qualification with the British College of Canine Studies. I have also purchased independent insurance for your peace of mind. We have the luxury of going between two accommodations in the area. Our home has a fenced garden with lovely walks around the Mudeford quay and Mudeford woods patch. We also have a sizeable static caravan at Hoburne which dogs love coming to stay with us at. Here, we have the joys of being right on our private cliff top and the beach and sea in front, alongside the easy option of getting in to the forest for walks. It’s doggy heaven! We don’t have any pets of our own presently and instead are enjoying the company and companionship of others

“Charlotte was lovely and very professional. Like most lurchers, she can be a little emotional & sensitive at times, but settled in really well and was more then happy to trott into Charlotte's without a care. Lu got lots of playtime and walks and I would not hesitate to recommend Charlotte as a trusted and proficient pet carer.”

About: I have a genuine love for animals and share my home with my friendly 5 year old, medium size Cockapoo, Ralph, who loves having canine companions to play with 🐶🐶. Based in Burton, Christchurch, we're perfectly located near beautiful fields, farms, the forest, and the beach, providing plenty of variety for fun, enriching walks to suit every dog. Whist at home, your pet will also have access to a fully enclosed, secure rear garden where they can safely relax and play between adventures. I provide a caring, home from home environment where your dog will receive lots of attention, exercise, and affection while you're away. If your pet prefers a single pet environment, we’ve got you covered. I keep my own dog Ralph, with me every other week, which leaves plenty of space for animals that prefer no other pets around. Please ensure to include this in your enquiry and i will be able to advise the weeks this is possible. I work fully from home during the week, offering flexibility with both drop off and collection times. During the week I typically walk my dog in the morning and afternoon, but flexible to cater to your pets needs equally. Your dog's safety and comfort are my top priorities. My home offers a spacious downstairs area where dogs are free to relax and feel at home, along with a fully enclosed, secure rear garden for safe outdoor play and toilet breaks. I only care for a small number of dogs at a time, allowing me to give each one plenty of attention, supervision, and care. My own friendly Cockapoo, Ralph, also provides a calm and sociable companion for dogs who enjoy the company of others.

“Bella is a wonderful! Took our last minute booking for our Mabel whilst we were on holiday and looked after her amazingly! Would recommend her to anyone! She Sent regular updates and photos, Mabel and Bella’s little dog got along really well! Very clean and lovely home and secure garden ❤️”

“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: We have a very friendly 4 year old Golden Retriever, Hugo, who absolutely loves having other dogs around. He is sociable, gentle, and enjoys making new friends, so visiting dogs quickly feel at home. As a family, we love dogs and regularly look after friends’ dogs while they are away, giving us experience caring for different breeds, personalities, and routines. We also have two children who have grown up around dogs and are gentle and respectful with them. I work from home, which means your dog will have plenty of company, supervision, and attention throughout the day. I work from home in Southbourne, so I have time to give dogs lots of attention, company and care throughout the day. We are just a 10-minute walk from the beach and a couple of minutes from Seafield Gardens, with plenty of great walking options nearby. Your dog’s safety, happiness and wellbeing will always be my priority. I provide a calm, loving family environment and only care for a small number of dogs at a time (maximum two additional dogs), ensuring plenty of individual attention and supervision. Our home has a large, secure garden, and as I work from home, dogs have plenty of company, toilet breaks, playtime and cuddles, without being left alone for long periods. I will always follow your instructions and routines, whether your dog enjoys beach walks, park adventures, playing with Hugo or simply relaxing at home. My aim is for every dog to feel safe, happy and part of the family.
