Doggy Day Care Maldon

About: I've been caring for dogs for most of my life and currently have a friendly, well socialised dog of my own called Bailey a Sprocker spaniel 🐕. I understand that every dog has their own personality and routine, so I'll make sure your pet feels safe, happy and loved while they're with me. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playtime or just relaxing with company, I'll provide plenty of attention, exercise and cuddles. I'll also send regular photo updates so you can enjoy your time away knowing your dog is in caring hands ❤️ I work from home and have a flexible schedule, so your dog will receive plenty of attention throughout the day. Walks, playtime, feeding and toilet breaks will all fit around your dog's normal routine. I'm available for boarding on weekdays and weekends and will keep you updated with regular photos and messages ❤️ Your dog will be welcomed into a calm, loving home where they'll be treated like part of the family. I have a secure fenced garden for safe outdoor play and a friendly, well-socialised sprocker spaniel who enjoys the company of other dogs. I follow each dog's usual routine as closely as possible and can administer medication, use a crate if requested, and provide regular updates so you have complete peace of mind ❤️

About: I’ve always lived with dogs. My husband and I currently share our home with two golden retrievers, both girls, one is 15 1/2 years old and the other is 8 1/2 years old. We’ve had both girls from puppies and have loved training them and sharing our lives with them. We live in a small village with the river Crouch and farmland walks on our doorstep. I’m a part time teacher but looking to retire next year so I have lots of time and love to offer any dogs who need a holiday hone As I have 2 dogs, I already have daily doggy routines in place. My dogs have access to the enclosed garden all day and enjoy our daily walks around various fields or along the seawall. Tide dependent, they also love swimming in the river. Although I work part time at school, my husband works from home so there’s usually at least one of us at home. We have a large, enclosed garden which our dogs love exploring/ sunbathing in! I would care for your pets in just the same way that I’ve always cared for my own pets. Daily walks, play and cuddles are paramount.

About: 🐾 Hi, I’m a passionate animal lover with several years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all shapes, sizes, and personalities! At home, I’m proud pet parent to two mischievous cats, Bobby & Milo, and one fun-loving dog, Rolo, so I understand just how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your furry family members. Whether your pet loves long walks, endless cuddles, playtime adventures, or simply having a calm and reassuring companion while you’re away, I’ll tailor my care to their individual needs. I have extensive experience with both cats and dogs and always treat every pet as if they were my own. For your complete peace of mind, I am fully insured for pet sitting and dog walking, ensuring your beloved companions are in safe and professional hands. My goal is simple: happy pets, stress-free owners, and plenty of wagging tails and purring cats! 🐶🐱 I’d love to meet you and your furry family, so please feel free to get in touch. I can’t wait to make some new four-legged friends! Pet care is a huge part of my daily life. As the owner of two cats, Bobby & Milo, and a dog, Rolo, caring for animals is already built into my routine every single day. From feeding, walking, playtime, grooming, and cuddles to making sure each pet gets the attention and care they need, I’m very experienced in managing the different needs and personalities of both cats and dogs. I structure my schedule around providing reliable, consistent care, which allows me to dedicate quality time to the pets I look after. Whether it’s morning walks, daytime visits or evening feeds I enjoy incorporating pet care into my week and genuinely love spending time with animals. For me, pet care isn’t just a job—it’s something I’m passionate about. I understand how important routines are for pets, and I always aim to keep them happy, comfortable, and stress-free while their owners are away. I always provide care that is tailored to each pet’s individual needs, routine, and personality. I understand that every animal is different, and I take the time to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owner is away. When caring for pets in a pet owner’s home, I aim to maintain their usual routine as closely as possible. This includes feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, administering medication if required, cleaning litter trays, and, of course, plenty of affection and companionship. Keeping pets in their familiar environment helps reduce stress and allows them to feel relaxed while their owners are away. For dog walking services, I ensure dogs receive safe, enjoyable walks suited to their age, energy level, and requirements. Whether they enjoy a brisk adventure or a gentle stroll, their wellbeing and safety are always my top priorities. As a pet owner myself to two cats, Bobby & Milo, and my dog, Rolo, I know how important trust, communication, and reliability are. I provide regular updates, photos, and messages so owners can have complete peace of mind knowing their pets are happy and well cared for. I am also fully insured for pet sitting and dog walking, offering an additional level of reassurance that your beloved pets are in safe and professional hands.

About: I’ve had dogs all my life, so caring for them has always been a big part of my day-to-day life. I regularly look after dogs for family and friends and treat every dog that stays with us as if they were my own. Most recently, we looked after my sister’s dog, Bailey, for a week while she was away. Bailey settled in really well and had a great time with us, with plenty of walks, playtime, cuddles and attention. I’m confident caring for dogs with different personalities and routines, and I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable and at home while they’re in my care I work from home so plenty of love to give, lots of walks & cuddles. I have a cockapoo too who loves other dogs and would love the company. We have a fenced garden totally safe and big to run around, plus a very loving home that they are free to roam wherever they would like.

About: I have grown up around dogs and have been caring for them my whole life, from puppies right through to senior dogs. I regularly look after family members’ dogs while they’re away, and it’s something I really enjoy. One day, I’d love to start my own dog walking business as working with dogs is something I’m genuinely passionate about. It’s something I know I’d love doing every day. I currently work from home two days a week, which gives me flexibility to provide attentive care and enjoy some extra company. I am also available on weekends, so I have plenty of time to dedicate to looking after your pets and treating them like my own. I will always try to stick to your pet’s usual routine so they feel happy and settled, whether that’s feeding times, walks, or playtime. If I’m in your home, I’ll treat it with respect and follow any instructions so everything feels normal for your pet. At my home, pets will have a quiet, safe, relaxed space with lots of attention and care. I have a large fenced garden where they can play and explore, and two friendly dogs who love having some company if your pet enjoys being around others. I make sure pets aren’t left alone for long and will keep you updated with messages and photos so you know they’re happy and in good hands.

“Katie and her mum are the absolute best. Bluey had such a lovely time playing with them and being in the garden. I was very nervous leaving him, but she made me feel at ease and sent lovely pics. Will definitely book her again!”

“Bailey had a lovely day with Joanna he came home exhausted as he had lot's of fun playing with Bramble he will definitely go back again. 😃”

About: I have taken care of both dogs and cats since I’ve been 7. I have good pet intuition and can often understand the wants and needs of animals. I am trained in dog first aid and can drive so able to rush to a vet if required. I am at home all the time so your pets will never be alone while staying with me. I will keep to the same schedule and routine, so your pets do not experience disruption. No one else will have contact with your pet while they are in my care. Pets will be supervised at times, and I have a fenced garden. Walks will talk place on lead unless you advise otherwise.

About: I'm an experienced dog owner and now really enjoy looking after dogs which I've been doing for friends and family for many years and now looking to do it more regularly. I work from home so dogs will rarely be left on their own for longer than an hour at a time. I work for myself at home so I can be very flexible to your dog's needs and will be happy to stick to your dog's routines. I have a large fenced garden laid mostly to lawn and access to lovely off road dog walks close by for as many walks as needed.

About: Hi! I’m a reliable, caring dog lover who works from home part time and spends the rest of the week as a stay at home mum, so your dog will have plenty of company, attention, and care throughout the day. My toddler is with me most weekdays (he attends nursery two days a week, increasing to three days from September), so I’m looking after dogs that are friendly and comfortable around young children. He has been brought up around dogs and is always supervised, ensuring everyone stays happy and safe. We have a lovely open plan downstairs where dogs can relax and feel at home, along with a secure, good sized garden for outdoor play and toilet breaks. We’re also lucky to have beautiful local walks nearby, as well as secure dog fields just down the road that I can book, giving dogs a safe space to run, play, and burn off energy. Every dog is different, so I’ll always follow their usual routine and give them the care they need, whether that’s long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply a quiet place to relax. I’ll treat your dog like one of the family and keep you updated with regular photos and messages, so you can enjoy your time away knowing they’re in safe and loving hands. I’m a stay at home mum to my toddler and work part time from my beauty room in the garden, so I’m home for most of the day and have plenty of time to give your dog attention and company. I occasionally do freelance work, but this is only on odd dates and isn’t regular, so I can usually be very flexible with bookings. I’m available for plenty of daytime care and can work around your dog’s usual routine as much as possible. I have a secure, fenced off garden and an open plan downstairs space where your dog can feel comfortable and at home. I have a lovely, friendly dog who enjoys having a playmate but is also very happy to relax and snooze in the sunshine. We have some lovely walks close by, so there are plenty of opportunities for walks, playtime and exploring. I’m happy to follow your dog’s usual routine and give them lots of love and attention while they’re with me.

“Sandra looked after our 1 year old Luna, she took the time to get to know her and all of her needs. Gave her lots of time and attention. Great communication the whole time. Would definitely recommend. Thank you”

About: I’ve had dogs throughout my entire life and have experience caring for a wide range of breeds, ages and personalities. In the last few years, for the first time in my life, I’ve found myself without a dog of my own. Although my sons’ dogs still keep me company regularly, I really miss having dogs around and would love the opportunity to spend more of my semi-retirement caring for them. I’m patient, reliable and very comfortable with everything that comes with looking after a dog, whether that’s walks, feeding, medication, companionship or simply making sure they feel relaxed and at home. Being semi-retired also means I have plenty of flexibility and can often accommodate bookings at relatively short notice. My aim is to give owners complete peace of mind knowing their dog is being looked after by someone who genuinely enjoys their company and treats them as if they were his own. I’m retired and generally available throughout the week, with occasional availability on weekends. While I can accommodate most daytime visits, evenings and overnight stays aren’t ideal as I’m married. I have a large, fully fenced garden and there are plenty of lovely dog walks nearby. That said, I prefer to care for pets in their own home or take them out for local walks near their owner’s area — it’s a great way for me to get out and about too.

“Helped out extremely last minute and provided a great daycare for our cockapoo.”

“Semi had fantastic day care with Lauren. Was well looked after and he felt right at home. Will definitely not hesitate to rebook :)”
