Doggy Day Care Freshwater

About: Reliability is at the heart of the care I provide. I understand how important it is to know your pets are in safe, dependable hands, which is why I always treat every animal as if they were my own. Having grown up caring for all kinds of animals, I’m confident in understanding their individual needs, personalities, and routines. I also already provide trusted pet sitting and care for several family members’ pets, giving me hands-on experience with the responsibility that comes with looking after someone else’s beloved companion. Whether it’s sticking to feeding schedules, administering routine care, or providing plenty of love, attention, and exercise, you can count on me to give your pets the same level of care I’d want for my own. As a self-employed cleaner, I have the flexibility to structure my schedule around the pets in my care. I’m typically only away from home for up to four hours at a time, allowing me to provide regular companionship, toilet breaks, feeding, walks, and plenty of attention throughout the day. Because I manage my own workload, I can plan my appointments to ensure your pet’s routine is maintained as closely as possible. This flexibility means your pet will never be left alone for long periods and will receive the reliable, attentive care they deserve while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and wellbeing will always be my highest priority. My home has a secure, fully enclosed garden where dogs can enjoy fresh air and play safely under supervision. I understand that every pet has different needs and routines, so I’m happy to follow your preferences, whether that’s using a crate for rest or when appropriate for their comfort and security. I’ll always stick to your instructions, keep a close eye on your pet, and make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for throughout their stay.

“Yes Fudge seemed to really enjoy her time with Jean. She went in no bother and when we fetched her she was very happy. Would be very happy to get in touch again with her when we come back to the IOW. A lovely service. It was a very warm and glad we took her there and not Osborne House with us. Thank You Jean and Family Thank You Rover for your help. We would do it again. Carol Sanders.”

“Georgie was happy to be left with Stephanie and still happy when I collected him. He enjoyed his day with a nice walk and cuddles. He will stay again.”

“Anne-Marie took great care of Jessie whilst we visited the farm. Jessie was instantly settled and excited to explore Anne's beautiful gardens. Anne was flexible with drop off and pick ups - keeping us updated with some lovely photos. Will definitely use again when travelling to IOW. Thank you xxx”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs all my life and we now have an almost 2 year old Labrador called Wilbur. We are based on the Dorset and Hampshire border, with a large garden which backs in to woodland and a lovely lake. We are also not too far away from gorgeous beaches too. Our family consists of myself and my husband and our two young teenage boys - we love dogs, and make time to play with them each day - offering enrichment activities, fun games, paddling in our little doggy pool (when it’s warm) and also essential, comfy down time. I work from home and very part time so I am around every day. I take my dog out for walks early morning and evening, but I’m flexible and able to fit around your pets routine. I have a fenced, closed in garden and one very friendly young golden Labrador. I have the space to crate if needed and lots of cozy spaces in the house.

“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”

“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 ;)”

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

About: I started my own well-being & natural health PR business and work from home every day so your baby will have constant company sitting by my side given lots of affection, healthy food and love, as well as big walks in the park and along the river. I love walking and will plan two big walks a day along the river or around the docks and through the park. I absolutely LOVE dogs and previously lived with my best friend who had a dog - Buster - who I took out for walks every day and he sat by my side whilst I worked writing for my clients. I have grown up with dogs and also had my own dog in a previous relationship many years ago, but due to my career prior to starting my own business, I was not allowed a dog in the office, so did not pursue this due to never being a person who would feel good about leaving their dog at home - dogs need to be with humans and be loved. The reason I do not have my own dog at the moment is the fact that my partner and I travel a few times a year (Christmas and summer) and I enjoy the freedom of this right now. I go for long walks every day and work from home and adore dogs! So wanted to offer my time to someone that would benefit from having someone trustworthy who they feel will take care of their dog and that they will be walked, fed and given the attention they need. I am ideally looking to meet a dog parent who we have an ongoing relationship where I can schedule time to look after their dog, either regular walks and be available for weekends/evenings when they have plans where they are not able to have their dog. I will not be looking after more than one dog and this is something I am doing as I feel I have the love, time and skillset to look after a dog. If you are looking for someone who will take care of your dog and you can work/go away/enjoy a night out, without the worry that your dog is not being loved or looked after, then I am that person. My home and heart is ready for taking care of your dog. I work for myself and have my own business at home. I dictate my own schedule, so I can do what I want when I need to. I do not have commitments that dictate my time. I am a very early riser (6am) and enjoy morning walks I always go for evening walks, so I can work with whatever your dog requires for their happiness and comfort. My home is safe. We live in the town, not far from the train station. The house is very safe, got a garden that's fenced, and we have enough space for a dog.

About: We love dogs and are fully licensed 4*, insured and first Aid trained. We offer a home from home environment, lovely walks and cuddles and dog play My husband is retired and I work from home. Steve will be doing the sitting, walking playing & care and I will be around as well when I am not working, although my office is in the garden so they can come and keep me company when just relaxing We have a fully fenced large garden and the property has CCTV all around so is very secure. We have a separate lodge which has its own garden for dogs who cannot socialize and this has its own cameras.

“Charlotte took great care of my dog Lucie - she seemed really happy and relaxed when I collected her and I know she’ll be excited to visit again! Thank you :)”

About: I have a genuine love for dogs and hands-on experience caring for them. I previously had two dogs of my own, and I looked after them with full responsibility and care throughout their lives. This experience taught me patience, attentiveness, and how to understand dogs’ needs and behaviors. I am comfortable with feeding, walking, playing, and providing companionship. I also pay close attention to routines and any special care instructions. I treat every dog as if they were my own, ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for.

About: Hi, I'm Bella! I'm a genuine animal lover and offer a safe, loving home where your dog will be treated like part of the family. I work from home, so your dog will have plenty of company throughout the day and won't be left alone for long periods. We have a friendly 5 year old small dog called Henry who loves having canine friends to play with, and three kind, dog loving children aged 9 and above who have grown up around animals and understand the importance of being gentle and respectful. I know how difficult it can be to leave your pet, so I'll make sure you receive regular photo updates and messages to give you complete peace of mind. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playing in the garden, or simply curling up for cuddles, I'll do my best to keep them happy, comfortable and following their usual routine. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member and giving them a home from home experience while you're away. I work as a beautician from my home, in our converted garage. So I am around all the time and in and out of the house, I can follow your dogs routine, to keep them comfortable and safe. We have a lovely friendly Chorkie, called Henry, who will keep your dog company too. I follow your dogs normal routine as closely as possible as I think this helps them feel more settled. We have a fenced garden that dogs have access to throughout the day.

“Amy was great with Mochi and gives her alot of patience and understanding with the care that she needs. She has kept me updated throughout the day too. Thank you Amy!”

About: Hi, I'm Jaz! Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I've spent 13.5 wonderful years with my soul dog, Mika the Husky, caring for her through everything from endless energy as a pup to her final year battling cancer. I've also owned a rescue Husky called Titan and fostered an incredibly anxious 35kg Spanish Mountain Dog named Tommy for a year, giving me experience with large breeds, strong personalities, behaviour issues and high-energy dogs. I've looked after numerous dogs, cats and small holdings through house-sitting assignments across the UK and Europe as well as for family and friends. My sister owns a frenchie called Frank, and my mother-in-law has a Jack Russell called Lola, and I love to look after these two. I understand that every pet has their own routine, personality and needs, and I always take the time to make them feel safe, happy and loved while you're away. I'm currently based on a private campsite in Burley, in the heart of the New Forest. The site isn't open to the public during the week, meaning it's a peaceful, quiet environment with plenty of space and beautiful walks right on our doorstep. Perfect for dogs who enjoy exploring, sniffing and spending time outdoors. Whether it's walks, playtime, medication administration, cuddles, or simply sticking to their usual routine, we'll care for your pets as if they were our own. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pets with someone else, so I'll always keep you updated with messages and photos, giving you complete peace of mind while you're away or at work. After losing my last dog Mika in the summer of last year, I am very excited to have a furry friend around again 🫶 I'm a freelancer working from 'home', so I'm able to fit in pick ups, walks and feeds whenever works for you and your dog. The campsite I live on is closed to the public in the week, so your dog will have plenty of space to enjoy all to themselves. I am surrounded by a fence so they won't be able to escape into the New Forest national park but I can open up the gates and head for lovely long walks through the forest and to water. I also have a beach close by if they'd prefer that setting for their walks. And I have our own shaded space plus the campervan, for keeping them cool on hot days or dry on wet ones!

About: Hello everyone, originally from Prague, I started walking my neighbours dog at age 7. Then age 12 I finally got my own dog and he was amazing of course 🐶 Moved to UK in my twenties and career and London lifestyle left me years without a pet. Three years ago I moved to lovely Dorset and started discovering New forest through the dogs eyes. We are living by the beach which was my dream so doggies staying with us have plenty of walks and waves 🌊🌲🐕 I work part time as a support worker so I am flexible and availlable 🙏 Also my partner works from home, so we dont leave a dog alone 🐶 We often take the car and explore new areas and walks..... 🐶🌲🌊 Building the trust and respect one walk at the time. Love to play but rules are to be followed, especially in overnight stays 🤭🐶🛏 Owning a big apartment with 1 min to year around dog friendly beach 🌊 Also doggy park 4 mins walk and always happy to drive for new friends 🐾

“It was love at first sight from Mochi. Beverly kept me updated and has sent me photos of Mochi's day. She kindly accommodated my last minute request to sit my baby. Bev also understood Mochi's needs and took her to HH which is her fave spot.She came home happy, thank you!!!”
