Doggy Day Care Glusburn

About: Our experience with dogs 🐾 Ellie has always had dogs and has experience with a wide range of breeds, including rescue dogs with different backgrounds and needs. She also set up her own rescue, Praxie’s Promise, through which she has helped rehome hundreds of dogs. She is Canine First Aid trained and has a real understanding of how important it is to provide dogs with patience, care and a safe, loving environment. Gethin has always grown up around pets and has plenty of experience caring for dogs. Over the years, we have regularly looked after friends’ dogs, from walks and day-to-day care to having them stay with us while they're on holiday. Between us, we have a great deal of experience with dogs of different personalities, breeds and needs, and we want every dog staying with us to feel comfortable, settled and part of the family. We both work shifts, but Gethin works from home full-time, so there will always be someone around to care for your dog and provide company throughout the day. Your dog won’t be left alone for long periods and will have plenty of attention, affection and company while staying with us. We’re both active people and enjoy getting out for walks, so we’re happy to provide as much exercise and outdoor time as your dog needs, whether that’s relaxed walks or something more energetic. We are both very flexible and happy to fit into your dogs schedule, whatever they need! We also have our own dog, Chevy, who is 11 years old and very calm and friendly. He is very adaptable to all kinds of dog personalities and is used to being around dogs with different temperaments and energy levels. We’ll make sure every dog staying with us gets the attention, exercise and care they need, while also giving them the space and time to settle in and feel comfortable. Your dog’s safety and wellbeing will always be our priority. We have a secure, dog-friendly home with a fully enclosed 5ft fenced garden, giving dogs safe access to fresh air and outdoor space throughout the day whenever they need it. As Gethin works from home, there will usually be someone around throughout the day, meaning dogs won’t be left alone for long periods. With Ellie’s extensive experience caring for and rehoming dogs, including rescue dogs with a variety of personalities you can feel confident that your dog is in experienced and caring hands. We have kept our own dogs safe for 20+ years and your dogs will be looked after like one of our own. We’ll introduce dogs to Chevy carefully and at their own pace. We’re happy to follow your dog’s usual routine as closely as possible and will keep you updated during their stay, so you can relax knowing they’re happy, safe and well cared for.

About: I’ve cared for dogs for over 12 years, having grown up with a Labrador and a mixed-breed dog. We are a young couple and now have a super friendly 7-month-old Cavapoo, so we understand the time, patience and attention dogs need every day. We're comfortable with walks, feeding, playtime, toilet breaks and giving dogs lots of love and attention. We'll treat every pet as if they were our own and make sure they feel safe, happy and comfortable. Both me and my husband work full-time from home, so we have plenty of flexibility throughout the day to give your dog lots of attention, care and company. Dogs are never left alone and will have regular playtime, toilet breaks, walks and plenty of cuddles. We’re also available for boarding and are happy to follow your dog’s usual routine as closely as possible. We have a secure, fully fenced garden and a friendly 7-month-old Cavapoo who loves having company. We have two large parks just a 10-minute walk away, as well as lovely quiet walking routes nearby. Dogs are never left alone and are always supervised and treated as part of the family, with plenty of attention, exercise and cuddles. We’re happy to follow your dog’s usual routine and accommodate their individual needs, including feeding, medication and regular toilet breaks.

“Joanna was absolutely fantastic with Millie we couldn't have found anyone better to look after her. Joanna came a week before our party and took Millie for a walk and she loved Joanna from the start, she really knows dogs and understands them. On the day of our party Joanna came on time to pick her up, she took her up into the town and the park, Joanna even took some photo's of her and had two printed off for us. She has undoubtedly gone over and above to make us feel relaxed ( it was the first time we have left her with anyone) and for making an enjoyable day for Millie. No question about it we will use Joanna for more parties. X”

“Samantha's partner Max looked after Bobby. It was a meet and greet for everyone so we could use Samantha and Max again, I felt happy leaving Bobby there and both dogs seemed to be happy with each other. I will definitely leave Bobby again.”

About: We offer a warm, friendly, home-from-home environment where your dog will be treated like one of the family. From cosy winters curled up by the fire to long summer walks in the countryside, your dog will enjoy a holiday experience while you relax and enjoy yours. About us: I’m Joe, and I work from home full-time, so your dog will always have company and care throughout the day. I’ve grown up with dogs and have experience fostering a wide range of them - from small breeds to larger dogs, including those with behavioural needs requiring extra patience and training. Sabina is a teacher and is available for evening walks and plenty of sofa cuddles, with full-time attention during school holidays. With over two acres of land, there’s plenty of space for your dog to explore and play. The land has a drystone wall perimeter but please let us know if your dog is an escape artist so we can take extra care.

About: I have loved dogs since I can remember and cannot pass one on the street without stopping to say hello. I am also now thinking I would like to work with them for a living so currently undertaking some training courses to help me to do that. Have had dogs from puppies and dog sat for several friends and family. I could provide references if desired. Please note : when I have put 20 years experience , I am meaning that's how long I have had dogs I am currently WFH 5 days a week on a very flexible schedule. I would walk your dog separate to mine during the week but walk them all together on a Sunday due to having access to a bigger car for walk location variation. Dependant on the weather as to how much time I would be in the garden with them (wouldn't be left unsupervised) but obviously regular toilet breaks are a given. I have a safe enclosed garden and both neighbours also have dogs. My two are friendly with Molly (Westie) being more playful than Dora (PBGV). I have several dog beds in several rooms but the dogs can go where they please in the house including sofas. (I fit round them most of the time!) If you prefer them to be crated at night, please just let me know. My dogs tend to prefer to be in a room where someone is but are free to roam. There are dog seat belts in the back of the car if I were to take them anywhere for walks. Your dog will be fed separately to mine as Molly is cheeky and tries to steal food. I had 3 dogs but lost our beloved Whippet last year, but used to 3 dogs in the house.

“Luna is living her best life when she stays with Gemma long may it continue, we are super happy our pup is having so much fun in such a loving environment 🐾🩵”

About: I have taken care of many of my friends dogs whilst they go on holiday(s) over the last 5 years. This has included two beautiful, high energy spaniels and older Dachshunds. I work from home and have a spaniel myself so I’m constantly out and about making sure they have the best day. I wake up around 5.45 on week days and take George (my spaniel) on a nice 5k walk along the canal. I work from home so will get my morning meetings out of the way, let George out in the back yard in between. I usually walk to the local park at lunch which is around 2.5k round trip. And after work, depending on what I have planned we usually are out and about places. Quick walk around the block just before we go to bed. I have a fenced yard. Plenty of room in the kitchen to keep a cage. A ring camera that overlooks into the kitchen for if I need to nip out to the shops. And George is the most loving companion, he has been so socialised since I’ve had him that he loves having other dogs over for sleepovers.

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover living in Higherford with my 14 year-old son, Billy. We both love spending time with dogs and treat every pet that stays with us as part of the family. We previously owned a lovely Whippet, so we understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your dog. We currently dog sit for friends and have loved every minute of it, so we’ve decided to open our home to more furry guests through Rover. Our home has a secure garden and is surrounded by beautiful countryside, making it the perfect place for plenty of walks, fresh air, and adventures. I enjoy fell walking and keeping fit, so your dog will get lots of exercise, attention, and affection. We also have our friendly tripod cat, Seth, who is used to dogs and can be kept completely separate from visiting pets if needed. I know every dog is different, so I’ll always do my best to stick to their usual routine and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I can’t wait to meet you and your four-legged family member! 🐶 I work from home with a flexible schedule, so I’m around for most of the day to provide plenty of company, care, and regular toilet breaks. This also means I can adapt to your dog’s usual routine, whether they enjoy long walks, playtime, or simply relaxing with company. Your dog will rarely be left alone and will receive lots of attention throughout their stay. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I provide a calm, loving home where dogs are treated like part of the family. I have front and back gardens for fresh air and outdoor time, along with a bright conservatory that’s perfect for dogs who love to relax and soak up the sunshine. I work from home with a flexible schedule, so your dog will have plenty of company, regular toilet breaks, and lots of attention throughout the day. I always follow each owner’s instructions and routine to help every dog feel safe, settled, and at home

About: Your pet will become part of the family, and be cared for with lots of love and attention during the stay, as the owner you get regular updates and with years of experience and qualifications like pet first aid, your loved one will have the best holiday of their own. I'm at home full time, so your pet becomes part of the day, for the full day. From morning walks to lots of stimulation and play outside in the garden, they will have the best time. The garden is fenced and secure with double airlock system so no one can sneak out. It's fully concreted and cleaned multiple times a day. Air Conditioning cools and warms inside as needed and there's lots of space for them to stretch out if needed.

About: I’m a genuine dog lover who has been around dogs for most of my life. Since I was 11 years old, my family has had dogs of all sizes, including a Dalmatian and two Cocker Spaniels. We raised them from puppies, so I have experience caring for young dogs as well as fully grown adults. Our Dalmatian is now 14 years old, which has also given me experience with senior dogs and understanding the importance of slowing down and walking at their pace. I have also looked after friends’ dogs of various breeds and sizes (some of whom are pictured in my profile). I absolutely love dogs and am the sort of person who will happily stop in the street to ask if I can say hello to someone’s dog! I work mainly from home, which gives me a lot of flexibility. As long as I have somewhere to set up my laptop, I can work from most locations. My normal working hours are 9am–5pm, with an hour for lunch, so I’m available for walks during lunch breaks and shorter breaks throughout the day. I am also able to board dogs for the day or overnight. Your dog’s safety and wellbeing are my top priorities. I am very careful about keeping track of where dogs are at all times and always make sure doors and gates are securely closed when entering or leaving. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your dog, and I will care for them as if they were my own. My role is mainly remote so can work most places if there is a set up available for my laptop etc. I work 9-5pm and have an hour lunch so I would be able to walk the dog on short breaks and within my lunch hour Your pet’s safety and wellbeing are my highest priorities. I understand that trusting someone to care for your pet and enter your home is a big decision, and I take that responsibility very seriously. I am always mindful of where your pet is and take great care to ensure they remain safe and secure at all times. When visiting your home, I am particularly careful when entering and leaving, making sure all doors and gates are properly closed so there is no risk of your pet slipping out. My aim is to provide a calm, safe, and familiar environment where your pet feels comfortable and relaxed while you are away, giving you complete peace of mind.

“Absolutely a legend person! He took care of my dog while I was working at 5:30am! And bring him back to my house. If you are working early hours and need someone to look after your dog THIS IS THE PERSON! I cannot wait to book with him once again!”

“Merlin loved his first day with Carrie and her lovely dog Bella - they had loads of outdoor time and plenty of time for snoozing too, he can’t wait to come back and so glad to have someone local who he enjoys the company of! 💚”

About: I’ve lived in BD13, Thornton for over 30 years, and have been a dog owner for the last 10 years. I retired from FT work in 2024, so have plenty of spare time. I walk daily, no matter what the weather, and know some great off road routes for dog walking, so can help your dog maintain a level of fitness if for any reason you’re unable to do so, whether due to health issues, or because of work or family commitments, or if you just need a break! I’ll record walks on Strava so you can see what exercise your dog has done, and I’ll send you pics to show your doggie having fun! Car owner, so can drive to / from anywhere local. For home boarding, I live with my wife of 33 years, along with Angus, our 12 year old Jack Russell Terrier. If your dog stays with us, they will be welcomed, and treated as our own. I retired from full time work in 2024, so have plenty of time to spare, and can offer dog care / walking services on most days. Even if it’s just a one off, to support your dog whilst you’re away for a special occasion, I can hopefully help out. My house has a lovely green garden, mostly fenced, so if your pet isn’t ready for walking the full requested period, they can relax either in my house or garden whilst you have time out! I will record all walks on strava, and send you screenshots of routes, so you know your dog has been exercised, aswell as pics if you wish.

About: Myself and my partner Toby offer dog-walking, doggy daycare and overnight sitting in the Calder Valley. For dog-walking, We offer group walking in the morning or afternoon and can collect your dog from your home, take them for a one hour walk and drop them back home. We can run or walk (and, of course, play Stick) with energetic dogs or do more chilled walks with smaller and elderly dogs. We can also do solo walks for dogs who may struggle in company. For sitting and day-care: Your dog will be with us in our home, getting one to one attention - lots of games and cuddles and access to a garden for fresh air breaks. We walk our guests 3 times a day in the woods and fields near our house. We can look after older dogs who need regular toilet breaks (although our house does have steps up to it). We can take on a second or third dog from the same family or friends whose dogs know each other and get on well. My favourite breeds are the retriever and the sight-hounds families; I also love Cockerpoos, Daschunds and Border Terriers, in fact I am discovering new favourite breeds all the time! Toby's are similar he also likes Afghan Hounds, having grown up with one, Golden Doodles, a Lurcher (Bedlington/ whippet) that recently stayed and a Bulldog that he has recently been walking. We look forward to meeting many new breeds in the future. Apart from walking and looking after dogs, I am a researcher and writer and Toby is a tutor. Most of our work is from home, so we can make sure the dogs are happy and then do our other work with the dogs as company. We tend to organise our day so that one of us is always around to look after the dogs. We also enjoy hiking, running and going to local shows and fetes, pubs and cafes, so if your dog is well behaved they can come everywhere with us and enjoy the excitement. In our home the dogs can relax on their beds, the sofa or on a blanket where we are working or relaxing. They can visit the garden when they wish or if it's a nice day and we are outside they are welcome to join us!
