Doggy Day Care in Leicester

“First time leaving my dog Amba for the day with Ivana and it could not have gone better. Ivana kept me updated throughout the day and sent some pics which were just lovely. Amba looked very relaxed and was very well looked after. I already have more bookings scheduled in and I look forward to Amba having more future stays with Ivana and her lovely family in the future. Thank you for taking such good care of my Amba.”

“Couldn’t fault Alexandros, took Lulu on so last minute, she’s also in season and was wearing a nappy so she didn’t bleed all over the house and he took it off so she was more comfortable. Gave me constant updates throughout the day! Will book again”

About: What sets me apart is my lifelong commitment to understanding dog behavior, building trust, and making every dog feel safe, loved, and at home. Dogs have always been a part of my life — not just as pets, but as family. Pet care is a central part of my weekly routine. I dedicate Wednesday through Sunday to providing attentive, hands-on care for dogs in a calm and structured environment. I’ll be completing a short course on Mondays and Tuesdays, which allows me to focus fully on pet care the rest of the week. My schedule is organized around the dogs I care for — from walks and playtime to feeding, training, and quiet companionship. I care for pets in my home, which is a safe, calm environment with a fully enclosed medium-sized garden—perfect for play and supervised outdoor time. Dogs have space to relax indoors and enjoy structured routines, including regular walks, feeding, play, and quiet time. I tailor care to each dog’s needs, whether it's a high-energy pup or a senior needing extra support. Safety, comfort, and trust are my top priorities, and I treat every dog as if they were my own.

About: I have many years of experience volunteering at a shelter. I currently devote all my free time to animals. I love working with them but also their company. I am currently studying and I have a lot of free time to spend with animals. We both need it. I derive pleasure and relaxation from working with animals but also from spending time with them. I have a free room for the animals I care for so they can have "their" space and privacy but also access to the entire house and garden.

“Amelia looked after my fox red lab Otis on Saturday and he had the best time! She took him for some lovely walks, he had some great play time and she noticed when he needed a nap (as he’s only 13 weeks) and was happy to put him in a crate for a much needed nap. He was knackered when he came home! Couldn’t recommend Amelia enough.”

About: Dog lover based in Leicester City Centre. I can cover LE2 as well as Le1. I've always had dogs in my life since I was 8 years old. My first dog was a nutty Bearded Collie named Cassie and we later adopted the equally nutty Scruffy; a Cairn Terrier. Currently I am looking after my mobility challenged friend caring for the most beautiful Labrador. She's impeccably behaved and enjoys our long walks and playtime. I am offering dog walking, day care and drop ins in LE1 and LE2 any day. I have just moved back to the area. Morning, lunchtime and evening walks every day. Feeding in the morning and evening. Playtime in between. I look forward to hearing from you. Best wishes, Steven The dog is gentle and plays well with any animal including cats, dogs and even chickens. I like to meet the dogs a couple of times if they are staying for a few nights so I can make them feel part of the family.

About: Over the past five years, I have had the pleasure of being a dedicated pet sitter for a variety of animals, ranging from energetic puppies to elderly cats. One of my most memorable experiences involved caring for a lively Labrador named Max while his owners were away on an extended vacation. Max was full of energy and required daily exercise and engagement. We started each day with a brisk morning walk in the local park, where he loved to chase after his favorite tennis ball. His playful nature meant that I had to come up with creative games to keep him entertained, including obstacle courses and interactive puzzle toys. In addition to physical activity, Max needed a balanced diet and medication for his allergies. I ensured he had his meals on time and administered his medication as prescribed, keeping a close eye on any changes in his condition. To provide his owners with peace of mind, I sent them daily updates, complete with photos and videos of Max’s activities and well-being. One evening, Max seemed unusually lethargic, which was out of character for him. I immediately contacted his veterinarian and followed their advice, which included monitoring his symptoms and ensuring he stayed hydrated. Thankfully, Max recovered quickly, but the incident reinforced the importance of being vigilant and responsive as a pet sitter. This experience not only deepened my bond with Max but also highlighted my ability to handle unexpected situations calmly and effectively. It’s moments like these that make pet sitting incredibly rewarding, knowing that I can provide both pets and their owners with the care and assurance they need. Pet care seamlessly integrates into my daily schedule through careful planning and a genuine passion for animals. Here's how I manage it: ### Morning Routine - **Early Start:** I begin my day early to accommodate morning walks and feeding schedules. - **Exercise:** For dogs, this means a brisk walk or playtime in the yard, ensuring they get the physical activity they need to start their day right. - **Feeding:** I prepare and serve breakfast, making sure each pet's dietary needs are met. ### Midday Check-In - **Breaks:** If I'm working from home or have a flexible schedule, I use my breaks to check on the pets, provide some interaction, and take them out for a quick potty break. - **Midday Walks:** For pets that require it, a midday walk or play session is scheduled to break up their day and provide some exercise and mental stimulation. ### Afternoon Care - **Routine Check:** I check in on pets, ensuring they are comfortable, hydrated, and engaged. - **Special Care:** For pets that need medication or specific care in the afternoon, I make sure to attend to those needs promptly. ### Evening Routine - **Exercise and Play:** After work, I spend time playing with the pets, whether it's a long walk, a game of fetch, or some indoor play. - **Feeding:** Dinner is prepared and served, with attention to any special dietary requirements. - **Relaxation:** I make sure pets have some quiet, relaxed time in the evening, whether it’s cuddling on the couch or providing a calm environment for them to unwind. ### Night Routine - **Last Check:** Before bed, I take dogs out for a final potty break and ensure all pets are settled comfortably for the night. - **Monitoring:** I keep an eye on any pets with special needs or health concerns, making sure they are comfortable and safe overnight. ### Flexibility and Adaptability - **Scheduling:** I use a planner to schedule pet care activities around my work and personal commitments, ensuring that each pet receives consistent and attentive care. - **Adaptability:** I’m prepared to adjust my schedule as needed, especially for pets with specific requirements or in case of emergencies. By integrating pet care into my daily routine with dedication and organization, I ensure that all pets under my care are happy, healthy, and well-looked after, making their well-being a top priority in my everyday life.
