Doggy Day Care Hartfield

About: I have had dogs in the past, in the family home, from when I was 11, small, medium and large! I would love a dog now but unfortunately I cannot financially commit to one at the moment. I have a daughter who is 7 and also loves animals, she is so kind and gentle. She is constantly asking dog owners if she can say hello to their dogs and making lots of new furry friends. We have looked after our neighbours, friends and my sisters dog. I work from home most weekdays, days off Friday, Saturday and Sunday. I Love animals, the outdoors and keeping fit and healthy. Be lovely to help others and give your dog some company, love and walks / runs! 🐾 ❤️ I mainly work from home Monday to Thursday 8.30-4pm, go to the office a couple of times a month. So I could give your dog some company from my home, and walks on my break/s. Or if local I can pop over to see to your dog or take them out. I am off Friday, Saturday and Sunday. I enjoy going for slow or fast, short or long walks and runs, so can provide the exercise your dog requires. I have a fenced back garden for outside safe space, with no entry to the back, and I am not on a main road (front or back).

“Michael is Awesome! He is a very well seasoned ' dog' petson with a very friendly young pointer ..Monty went on some great walks with Michael & his Pointer , and had a smashing time rolling in all sorts & came home exhausted! The great thing is that if you are reasonably local, Michael picks up & drops off !”

About: I always lived with dogs and cats. I love them with all my heart and I can even say that they are my passion. They are our best friends. I am working from home, so I can take care of your dog during the whole day, I also have my 5 years old dog who loves walks in the forest of East Grinstead so your dog would be perfectly happy to join us ! I have a big secured garden that my dog loves, he has everything he needs but I like to take care of his food too, not too many treats :)

“Very pleased with the care our dog was given.”

“Philippa took great care of our dog during the day. He came home happy and tired.”

About: I like all animals; I have no preference whether they are young or adult. I don't mind if they are small or big; I love going for walks with them in the forest. I have almost full time to take care of them since I work from home for a few hours a day and go to the gym for about 2 hours. I have a small fenced area in the house and a balcony where you can walk around, a room with a long corridor where you can walk peacefully.

“Zucca loves her visits to Miriam. Very responsive and great communication with pictures throughout the day.”

“Jamie and George welcomed my 3 month old Boston terrier puppy very warmly. It was her first time meeting a big dog and George was so good with her. She was clearly very happy and comfortable in their home 🥰”

About: My first word was Jas, our dogs name, a fact my mother frequently reminds me of. We then had Toby, a Golden Retriever who helped me learn to walk by allowing me to pull myself up using his ruff. Over the years my immediate family has had many pets and at one point we had 2 dogs, 5 cats, 9 Guinea pigs & 2 rabbits. As well as 3 children. Then there were the rats, Zippy,Bungle & George. So I have experience caring for a wide variety of fur babies. It’s been 15 years since I’ve had my own dog and now it’s just the cat & me. My eldest daughter (who lives abroad) has 6 dogs, 2 cats, 2 chinchillas, 2 ducks & 15 chickens. When I visit her there’s always a 4 legged furry who wants to play or is happy to cuddle. My younger daughter and my son have one dog each and as they both live in the UK I’m regularly asked to dog sit. My brother lives quite close by so I am lucky enough to have time with his adorable, ball crazy Sprocker. I am retired and recently widowed so am flexible with my availability. I have an elderly mother who lives nearby & I visit her several days a week for an hour or so. She too loves dogs & would be happy for me to take my new friends to visit her. I have a good size, secure garden to play in. I have an elderly cat who doesn’t like dogs but fortunately it is easy to segregate him to one part of the house. This works well when my grand dogs come to stay. I don’t drive so all walks would be on the lead road walks but the garden is a great place to play ball. I’m happy to dog walk or feed/cuddle/brush cats/ Guinea pigs/rabbits that live within reasonable walk (or bus ride) from my home.

“The one place Bellsie is truly happy with away from home. When she realised where she was going today, she literally dragged me running there. The best care you could ask for,”

About: Wanting walkies just as much as your pooch! Promise to give all my love and attention to your fur baby as if he/she was my own. We live on a farm with loads of space but also have a fenced garden bit if needed. I work in an airy office on the farm which my dog hangs out with me in most days - your dog can too! I do have a cat at home but he keeps himself to himself and won’t mind a house guest. Also willing to pet sit any of your other furry friends at mine or yours, birds, hamsters, rabbits etc Friendly, outgoing, flexible, sensible, reliable, weekends, weekdays, evenings, morning, holiday. I work from my own office on the farm so am very flexible. My dog goes everywhere with me that includes to the office. We go out loads throughout the day for a change of scene (for both of us!) I have a fence garden so don’t have to be cooped up. Most of the day we will be walking around the farm, happy for this to be on a lead or running around off for playtime.

About: A loving home away from home for your four-legged friend! We’re a dog-loving family with 14 years of experience caring for our own much-loved dog. We know how important it is to leave your dog somewhere they’ll feel safe, loved and completely at home. We have a spacious house with a large, secure fenced garden, plus beautiful woods and open fields right nearby for lovely walks and plenty of sniffing and exploring! My teenage daughter is a huge dog lover, so your pup will get lots of attention, cuddles and fuss while staying with us. Your dog will be treated as one of the family, with plenty of love, company, playtime, garden time and walks. Our aim is simple, for your dog to have a happy holiday of their own while you’re away. As I’m self-employed and work from home, I can be flexible around your dog’s needs. We’ll start the day with some time in the garden and a lovely walk, then your dog can relax at home with me while I work. We’ll have another walk around lunchtime, with plenty of opportunities for garden breaks, attention and cuddles throughout the day. After work, we’ll head out for another walk or some playtime in the garden. I can be flexible with timings depending on your dog’s routine and needs. Most importantly, your dog won’t be left alone. They’ll have company, attention and a loving home environment throughout their stay. Your dog’s safety, comfort and wellbeing are always my top priorities. We have a spacious, secure, fully fenced garden where dogs can enjoy outdoor time safely, as well as plenty of room inside the house for them to settle and relax. We have a calm and friendly Golden Retriever who is used to being around other dogs and can provide gentle companionship. However, I understand that every dog is different, so I’m happy to introduce them gradually and give them their own space if needed. I want you to feel completely confident that your dog is staying in a safe, caring and relaxed home where their individual needs and routine will be respected.

About: I have spent my whole life growing up with dogs, so incredibly used to them. I’ve also spent the last 1.5 years working at a doggy day care, where I was trained in dog behaviour & management. I worked with every type of dog you can imagine - size, breed, age, temperament. As well as working at a doggy daycare, I would dog sit in my spare time - so pretty much my life was doggy’s, doesn’t get much better than that. I’m very organised, love giving dogs lots of cuddles & kisses, but also know how to look after all sorts of dogs with various needs. I was also a dog walker for many years before starting my job at doggy daycare. I’ve just spent the last 3 years living in Australia, so currently not working. I want to make looking after your doggy’s my full time focus/work. As I want to give owners flexibility and options, so my sole focus will be your puppy. I prefer to stay in your (owners) home, as I think from experience a lot of dogs prefer and are more comfortable in their own routine & environment. However, I am open to the conversation if you’d prefer your dog be at my home. If so, my home has a lovely spacious garden with a closed in fence.

“Everything great. Great walks. Great photos. Thanks so much!”

About: As a family with 4 children, we have always owned dogs, from a cavachon to a German shepherd. My children and I will make sure your favourite pet is really well looked after. We are both working from home, part time and already have a lovely German shepherd, Luna, that we walk every day and play with in our large garden. We have a large fenced garden and own a 6 year old female German shepherd, who is very used to other dogs. My children love playing and cuddling our dog and will love yours too.

About: I’m a lifelong dog lover and owner of a big, very lovable Labrador, so I know just how much our dogs are part of the family. I’m confident with larger dogs, enthusiastic walkers and those who are particularly enthusiastic about food! I’m calm, sensible and reliable, and very happy getting out for a proper walk rather than simply doing a quick lap around the block. Most importantly, I know how much trust is involved in leaving your dog with somebody else. I’ll look after your dog as I’d want someone to look after mine, with plenty of attention, affection and reassurance, and I’m always happy to keep you updated while they’re with me. I have two cats so any dog coming to stay needs to be on good terms with cats and does not chew furniture! I work from home, so dogs can fit very naturally into my day. They’ll have company throughout the day, access to the garden and a proper lunchtime walk, usually in one of the two parks close to my home. My own Labrador is always around too, so there’s plenty of opportunity for play, company and snoozing afterwards. I have a safe, fully fenced grassed garden and a friendly five-year-old Labrador who loves having company. Dogs are welcome to make themselves at home and will be treated as part of the family while they’re here. I’ll follow your usual routines around feeding, walks and rest, and I’m very happy to accommodate individual needs. I would always want our dogs to meet first to make sure they’re comfortable together before their first stay.

About: Hi, I love getting out and about and going on long woodland or forest walks with a furry friend. I weekly help look after my sisters cocker spaniel and he stays with me occasionally when she needs overnight care for him. Would love a dog of my own but I work to much at the moment, so I’d love to help look after others. I’m a self employed hairdresser, I work 9-5 most days but can be flexible to help look after your fury friend as I work for myself. When those quiet months come along I can up the days that I can do boarding or walks etc so it’s always worth asking me for extra days and I can see if it fits in around my working schedule. I always have Wednesdays off and Sundays so these days are guaranteed for pet care. My garden is fully fenced in so there absolutely no chance you’re fury friend can make a break for it. I keep my home and garden very tidy and make sure i leave nothing in the floors to harm your pets.

“Olivia looked after my lab Brody for the day at very short notice. When I dropped him off Brody RAN towards her, so I knew he’d be in good hands. Trip out for lunch, a walk in the woods with his new friend Nala and plenty of playtime. Brody was a very happy boy when I picked him up. Olivia shared lots of pictures and updates and I can’t thank her enough. Will definitely be in touch next time :) thank you!”

“Molly had a brilliant time with Trevor and Natalie, enjoying plenty of attention and the opportunity to play with another dog who visited. She was tuckered out when she came home and I wouldn’t hesitate to ask Trevor & Natalie to look after her again. Sitters also friendly and prompt with communication.”

“Couldn’t ask for more. Milo almost pulled my arm off trying to get to see Georgia again. He was happy to be there and had a great off the lead walk. Georgia didn’t bat an eyelid when we were delayed 30 mins on the way back for pick up. Always happy to leave Milo with her. 5*+”
