Doggy Day Care in Ipswich

“Mark was absolutely brilliant with my nervous cavapoo. I felt he was safe as soon as I dropped him off from the way Reuser was with him and the lovely environment his home is. I received lots of updates during the day to know he was happy. I will certainly be using Mark again - he really is lovely.”

About: I’m a true animal lover who’s grown up with dogs my whole life, and I genuinely enjoy caring for them like they’re part of the family. I often look after friends’ and relatives’ pets, holiday stays, drop-ins, cuddles, you name it, so keeping dogs happy, calm, and safe is second nature to me. I’m all about clear communication, reliability, and making sure both your dog and you feel completely at ease. I don’t currently have a dog of my own, which probably explains why I have so much extra love to give, so I’m excited to open my home and my heart to your furry family member. I am currently studying my last year at sixth form, so looking after dogs on the weekend and half term fits in perfectly with long stays, as they will be able to have my full attention. Dog walking is always available for me! I have a lovely gated long garden so the dog will be able to roam about freely, as I sit under my gazebo keeping an eye on their mischief! My front door is always locked so they are unable to run out. My house is a good size to accommodate small or medium dogs! I will only leave the house for walks, never unoccupied.Like promised, they will have 100% of my attention and love!

“Maya spent a few days at France’s home, and she was so well cared for. Maya looked comfortable and settled in quickly. Frances made sure she had attention throughout the day, and it was lovely to receive little updates and photos so we knew how she was getting on. Maya came home happy, relaxed, and clearly enjoyed her time there. We’re really pleased to have found someone so reliable, friendly, and caring. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend France’s and will definitely book with her again!”

About: I have 15 years experience with my own, families & friends dogs for walking and over night stays/breaks whilst they are on holiday. I have always been told I am a natural with dogs and they always have the best time when they are with me- Emma. This is my full time commitment so all my time is available for all my services and work around owners needs and requirements. My husband owns his own company so I can dedicate all my time to your doggies I have a fenced lovely size garden with patio and grass I also have access to a secure 2 acre area 5 minutes away where I can offer secure off lead time for the dogs. My dog is Arthur who is a pug and will always be with me and also have my sisters in-laws dog Lennie the sausage dog that we can arrange a meet up later down track.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for several years — both my own and for friends, family and neighbors. I’m confident with small and large breeds, playful puppies, as well as older dogs that need a gentler, slower pace. I’m very patient, calm and observant, which helps dogs feel safe and relaxed around me. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine and comfort level, so I always take time to get to know what makes them feel happy and secure. I’m comfortable with: • Feeding and sticking to set routines • Long walks or short slow-paced walks (depending on the dog’s needs) • Basic puppy training & reinforcing commands • Administering simple medications • Extra cuddles, attention and reassurance What makes me different is that I truly treat every dog like my own. I don’t rush, I keep communication clear with owners, and I send plenty of updates and photos so you always know your pup is safe, happy and well cared for 🐶✨ I’m home most of the time, so I have plenty of availability for pet care throughout the day. My routine is very flexible — I can easily adjust feeding times, walk schedules and playtime to match your pet’s normal routine. I enjoy going for walks in the morning and afternoon, and I’m also available for evening check-ins. Since I spend a lot of time at home, your pet will have company, attention and supervision — no long hours alone. Weekdays and weekends look quite similar for me, so I can accommodate regular care as well as last-minute bookings. I always make sure pets feel calm, comfortable and safe in a relaxed home environment 🐾✨ Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. I create a calm, clean and relaA typical day with me is calm, safe and full of positive attention. I follow your pet’s usual routine to keep things comfortable and familiar. We start with a gentle morning walk and some sniff time outside — I let dogs explore at their own pace so they can enjoy the environment. After that, there’s plenty of time for play, cuddles or quiet rest depending on your pet’s personality. Throughout the day, we have short play sessions with toys, enrichment games (like sniffing and puzzle toys), and relaxing downtime. I also make sure to include regular potty breaks and fresh water at all times. If your pet loves cuddles, they’ll get lots of affection. If your pet prefers space and independence — I respect that too 🐾 Evenings are calm and cozy, with one final walk before bedtime. And of course — I send updates and photos throughout the day so you always know how your pet is doing 💛xed environment where animals can feel secure and at ease. I take time to understand your pet’s routine, needs and personality, so I can keep everything as familiar and stress-free as possible. When caring for pets in my home, I provide: • A safe, tidy and pet-friendly space • Constant supervision (I’m home most of the time) • Slow and gentle introductions to my dog, if needed • Plenty of attention, playtime and comfort When caring for pets in your home, I respect your space fully. I keep things exactly how I found them, follow your instructions carefully, and always make sure your pet stays in their usual routine — because consistency helps them feel safe.

My approach is calm, patient and loving — I treat every pet with the same care and respect I give to my own 🐾💛

About: I have extensive experience walking and dog sitting both small and large breeds, and I truly tailor my care to each dog’s needs. Because I work from home, your dog gets constant supervision, companionship, and plenty of attention — never long stretches alone. I’ve previously trained dogs of all sizes, so I’m confident handling everything from energetic pullers to calm senior pups, and I’m comfortable reinforcing good leash manners and routines. I’ve also cared for working dogs in a police environment, which has given me a strong understanding of structure, reliability, and reading canine behavior. Whether it’s a relaxed walk, an active adventure, or attentive in-home sitting, I treat every dog as if they were my own Because I work from home, dogs in my care are rarely ever alone and fit naturally into my daily routine. I’m around throughout the day for walks, playtime, meals, and plenty of attention, with lots of flexibility to meet each dog’s individual needs. Whether it’s a quick potty break, a midday cuddle, or keeping them company while they nap, I love having dogs as part of my work-from-home life and making sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and happy all day long I’m a trustworthy and attentive dog sitter who truly treats every dog like my own. My home is clean, calm, and set up to be a safe, comfortable environment where dogs can relax and feel secure. I’m careful about supervision, routines, and safety, and I always make sure dogs get plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. Pet parents can feel confident knowing their dogs are in responsible, caring hands while they’re away.

About: Hey! I’m Beth. I’ve been training dogs for about five years now, everything from tiny pups to big working dogs. I’m comfortable with reactive dogs and have a lot of experience helping with behavioural issues. Whether your dog needs some extra patience, a bit of training, or just someone who gets their quirks, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, happy, and understood. Dog walking and training is my job and what I do for a living. I work 7 days a week and I am pretty flexible with times. Your pup will be in our secure house with a fenced in garden and lots of room to run around and play. Crates for rest available and beds. Trips to different field walks and parks will also be available. Please note a late fee will be added if over 15 minutes late.

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover and my husband and I are proud pet parents to two gorgeous senior pups, who continue to fill my days with love and laughter. One of my dogs is a rescue with a difficult past, and seeing her blossom into a happy, confident companion has been one of the most rewarding experiences. It’s inspired me to follow my passion for animal care and help other pets feel safe and loved when their owners are not available. Alongside caring for my own dogs, I volunteer as an Animal Care Assistant at the Blue Cross, where I continue to gain valuable experience in animal behaviour, welfare, and enrichment. Whether it’s offering an energetic or gentle walk, playtime, or simply a reassuring cuddle, I’m committed to providing every animal with the same level of care and compassion I give to my own pets. I prefer walking in rural, low dog-populated areas where there’s more space and a calm atmosphere, creating a relaxed and enjoyable experience. However, I’m more than happy to walk your dog in your preferred location if you have one. I will of course share pet updates and photos with you if you'd like, to give you peace of mind. I am available Monday to Friday, with weekend availability upon special request. After spending many years in a busy corporate environment, I am now following my true passion and doing something that truly brings me joy - spending my days caring for and connecting with animals! I find it incredibly rewarding to provide them with companionship, comfort, and the attentive care they deserve. I enjoy dedicating my time to something I genuinely love and helping owners feel confident that their pets are in safe and caring hands. My top priority is to provide reassuring, reliable, and loving care for your beloved dog or cat. I know how important it is to feel complete trust when someone else is looking after your pet, so I’ll always treat them with the same kindness and attention I give my own. Their safety and wellbeing are at the heart of everything I do - from carefully following your instructions to making sure they feel calm, secure, and content in their surroundings. My goal is to create a positive and comforting experience, so your dog or cat feels happy and completely at ease when they are in my company. Before providing any service, I will meet with you and your pet to ensure you’re comfortable with my approach and to learn about their unique needs, routines, and personality. I am fully insured.

“Thank you Milly for taking care of our furbabies for doggie day care for the first time. Milly gave great direction for home stay and the car park. Brilliant communication throughout the process. Giving excellent update, activities and photos.”

“My pet dog Bowie has an amazing time with Kristina. She's very accommodating, though we contacted her rather last minute. We received communication from her throughout the day. The whole experience is stress free and we would definitely recommend Kristina to anyone, and will use her service again in the future.”

“Charlotte looked after my nervous boy Ozzy, I couldn’t have been happier with how he was looked after. Charlotte made sure he had plenty of toilet breaks and play time. Ozzy settled eventually and I couldn’t be more grateful for how he was looked after. Thankyou Charlotte ❤️”

“Our last session with Ellie as our work in Ipswich ends this week! Ellie has been a fantastic Dogsitter…. Every Monday ready to receive Bronte really early and just looking after her so brilliantly! She is kind, caring and a confident assured dog handler, understanding needs and adapting to different characters and combinations. I felt that Bronte was 100% safe and well cared for. Thank you so much Ellie… you are amazing! What a Godsend for us! Hope we need to come to Ipswich with dog soon! Would highly recommend!”

About: I have had dogs in various shapes and sizes since I was a child. A Jack Russell that lived to 17, a rescued Great Dane, a beautiful Weimaraner (the love of my life, sadly missed) and now a 3 year old Bedlington terrier. I also work part time at ITFC and have been DBS checked 👍 Unlike other sitters who will take two, three or even four dogs we will only have one guest dog at a time, this means we can give more attention to your dog. I’m now retired and thought I’d try my hand at dog care. We live in a bungalow on the outskirts of Ipswich surrounded by fields and great walks for dogs (on or off the lead). We also have a large garden that is fully fenced in. I would treat every pet as if it were my own, lots of walks and stimulating play time, I hate to see bored dogs. To encourage good behaviour I set ground rules for my own dog and would expect the guest dog to be able to follow the same simple instructions. This would help to create a calm and relaxed environment.

“This was our first time using 'Rover' and it went really well. We are very happy to recommend Colin, who looked after Kiki for us while we were at a wedding in the area. As soon as we arrived, we could tell that Kiki was going to be looked after really well. Thank you Colin! Much appreciated.”

“We can’t recommend Amy highly enough. She looked after our dog, Vixen, while we were away for a family funeral, and her care and warmth made all the difference. Vixen can be a little anxious, but she quickly settled in—thanks in part to Amy’s lovely dog, who was twice her size but totally gentle and got on brilliantly with her. When we returned, Vixen seemed genuinely happy and relaxed, which speaks volumes. It was clear Amy truly loves animals—she had such a calm, kind presence and treated Vixen as if she were one of her own. We’re so grateful to have found her and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful and reliable pet sitter. Thank you, Amy!”

“Seb was absolutely amazing with our puppy Milo. He was the first person we’ve ever left him with and he put us at complete ease and Milo absolutely loves him and Erika. He sent us updates throughout the day and took the time to check what Milo liked/didn’t like and was so quick to reply to any messages. Thank you so much!”
