Doggy Day Care Marlborough

“Our pup had a wonderful day with Sophie and came home happily (and helpfully!) tired - and we loved the pics Sophie sent of him enjoying himself ❤️”

About: I’ve had dogs all my life, and I just adore animals in general. My dog, Bella, was a very nervous rescue and is now doing absolutely brilliantly, so I’ve learnt a lot about helping anxious dogs in the last few years. Bella does not come with me when I do house sits, she has another at home who takes care of her. I’ve got lots of experience walking and handling dogs of all shapes and sizes. I’ve worked with puppies, senior dogs and large breeds and also those who require special attention and need medication. I’m used to working with groups of dogs and have no problem with dogs who are anxious, I just require more meet and greets to get your pup familiar. I worked at Pets at Home for a few years and I've handled everything from small furries to reptiles. I’ve recently relocated from up north so my calendar is pretty empty at the moment. I’m looking to make lots of new furry friends and get familiar with the Wiltshire dog/cat (all animals alike) community 😊 I have a large garden and open plan kitchen and living room so your furr baby will always be In site. Also I share my home with my loveable and super friendly Cockerpoo Bella! Prior to boarding I would request our dogs have a meet and greet to see if it's a good match. Bella is super sweet and never aggressive, it's just for my own peace of mind as I want my pup to feel comfortable. I also have my own insurance and DBS certificate.

About: I am an avid pet lover. I grew up on a farm surrounded by many different animals from dogs to cats, horses, pigs, chickens, sheep, and bunnies. At one time I owned 8 dogs, with various needs in terms of medication, treatment, and care. Having many different animals and many dogs all at once, I am capable of paying attention to the needs of each, meaning your babies are in safe hands. Most of my animals have been rescued and or adopted, which has given insight into many unique and versatile characters. I am a gentle and calm person who is not reactive, hyper, or anxious which allows your fur babies to feel comfortable. I am most at ease around animals and love to surround myself with four-legged friends and insects. I have two active hives at home in South Africa where I practiced my beekeeping. Highlighting my passion and love for all creatures. What I can offer you: I can house site, stay the night with the animals, walk or run, have your animals come and stay with me, and overall provide much-needed love, cuddles, and care. I am doing freelance work at the moment, which allows me a flexible schedule. I often enjoy the park during my breaks to get out and about. I have a garden space, and as well as a spacious home. I live 5 minutes from the park which provides the opportunity to pop out and walk around if your dog requires more attention. The house is secure and has a fence.

“Very grateful to Sarah for taking such great care of our girls. Very happy with the communication and overall experience.”

About: I've had dogs all my (considerably long) life, including breeding a litter and puppy training and I'm experienced in all breeds. Dogs are my passion and I love them above all things. I've recently lost my 14 year old chocolate Labrador so this is the first time I've had only one dog. In the past I had a Miniature Schnauzer who lived to be 21! I currently own a black pug called Hattie who loves to have company. She is pretty spoilt, and so will your dog be when it stays with me. I also have a King Charles Cavalier called Ava whose hobby is pigeon stalking. I will take comprehensive instructions from you so that their routine is as close to normal as possible. Plus they'll get lots of love & attention so they don't miss you too much. I will walk your dog, as required, along the many footpaths and bridal ways on my doorstep. They’ll also have the run of my large fenced garden.

“She and her family are very friendly for us. My dog ​​usually doesn't like to interact with other dogs, but she was showing interest in this family's dog. It's a sign that she's very relaxed. I would like to ask them to day care again!”

“Natalia and Liam have looked after Benny a few times now and he adores them. They are great with Benny and provide regular updates throughout the day. I never have to worry about him whilst I’m away at work.”

“What a lovely couple. Bailey enjoys going to visit with them, he's off into their house without so much as a goodbye! Which is wonderful to see as it means that he is happy there.”

“Fritz our beagle had a lovely day! Made to feel very welcome and given the run of the large house and garden, and he was given toys to play with. He was taken on a couple of walks and we were sent photos and updates. Definitely recommend and we are already booking another day.”

Rhiannon P.

“Liam provided exceptional care for Kevin. Kevin is an old dog so can be a little anxious around change but he settled really quickly with Liam who provided a very calm environment for him. I was kept up to date with photos and messages. I would absolutely recommend Liam for pet care needs and would certainly go back again”

About: I have been a dog lover my entire life and have owned and cared for dogs of all breeds, ages, personalities and sizes—from small lap dogs to much larger breeds. Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and I genuinely love spending time with them, whether that means playing in the garden, enjoying a good game of fetch, giving plenty of fuss and cuddles, or simply relaxing together on the sofa. I have been providing home boarding for six years, so I understand that every dog is different. Some arrive ready to explore and play, while others need a little extra patience and reassurance before they feel settled. I take the time to learn about each dog’s personality, usual routine, likes, dislikes and individual needs so that I can help them feel safe, comfortable and completely at home. I am home throughout the day, meaning my guests receive plenty of company, attention and supervision without being left alone for long periods. I also have a huge, fully enclosed back garden where dogs can safely stretch their legs, play, sniff, explore or find a sunny spot for an afternoon snooze. My resident dog is Shelby, a wonderfully calm and chilled German Shepherd who is accustomed to sharing her home with visiting dogs. Her relaxed nature helps make my home feel welcoming, whether a guest wants a playmate or prefers to enjoy their own space. I am also first-aid trained, giving owners additional reassurance that their dog is being cared for by responsible and experienced hands. Most importantly, I understand how much trust it takes to leave a much-loved family member with somebody else. I provide the same love, patience and care that I would want for Shelby, creating a genuine home-from-home experience filled with attention, playtime, affection and plenty of wagging tails. I am home throughout the day, so my schedule is flexible and dogs receive plenty of company, attention, playtime and supervised garden time. I aim to follow each dog’s normal routine, including their usual mealtimes, exercise, rest and bedtime, helping them settle in and feel at home. I have six years of home-boarding experience and am first-aid trained. My home provides a calm, loving environment with a huge, fully enclosed back garden for safe play and exploration. Visiting dogs are carefully introduced to Shelby, my relaxed German Shepherd, and I follow every owner’s care instructions closely.

About: Dogs have been part of my life since I was little. Francisco (our PUG) joined the family and has been with us for 11 years. My husband grew up in a family of dog handlers for breed championships and had experience with Fila Brasileiros throughout his youth. Our daughter's passion for animals came through contact with Francisco, who is very caring and loving with all of them. I am the primary caretaker, with years of experience with dogs, but we live with a family, and together we have a special affection for little dogs. I'm available for boarding or short-term care. I work from home, currently on maternity leave, but my job is home-based, so I have the day and nigth available and flexibility to care for your furry baby. My away hours are short trips to the grocery store, taking my daughter to school, and things like that. I have a good-sized fenced yard with grass and paving. Our dog, Francisco, is extremely adorable and friendly, and a wonderful companion. Possibility of separating your dog from my dog's company if you prefer.

“Lucy was super sweet with Ruby. She kept me up to date with how Ruby was settling in and seemed to have adjusted well.❤️”

About: I've had experience caring for my dog for the last 9 years and absolutely love looking after and loving on animals. Having recently lost my best friend (Percy the cockapoo) to cancer, I am keen to care for others furry friends and miss having the company. I work from home most the week so have availability to look after and give good attention to your loved ones. I currently work from home so am always available to care for pets. My schedule is very flexible so can respond to the animals needs accordingly ensuring they have plenty of potty breaks, time for play, and cuddles on the sofa. My garden is fenced and is situated in a secluded countryside cul de sac. There is very little traffic near me and plenty of walking places nearby. The village is relatively quiet.

About: I’ve had family dogs from the age of 7, including some slightly more demanding breeds such as Beagles and Harriers. I’ve had my own English Pointer (Rebel) who is 7 years old and I’ve looked after many of my friend’s dogs (usually spaniels and labradors). I have more experience with working breeds and love to spend time outdoors with them on long walks, but equally happy to care for less active breeds and chill at home with them! I’m currently 4 months into a 10 month maternity leave period so spending plenty of time at home with my baby and dog. I love dogs and spending time outdoors so would love to use my time to help out others! I have a friendly female dog (she’s spayed) who is used to boarding and going on joint walks, a 4 month old baby boy, and a house with fairly large fenced garden. I spend a lot of my day pottering around the house but always like to do at least one big walk a day!
