Doggy Day Care Masham

About: I live in the beautiful village of West Tanfield, surrounded by countryside walks right on my doorstep. I’m lucky to have access to a lovely river loop walk, open fields nearby, and regular trips to Thornborough Henges, which is fully fenced and perfect for safe exploring. I work from home most of the time, so your dog will have plenty of company and a calm, relaxed environment throughout the day. They’re more than welcome to join me in my home office — keeping me company as the “office dog” for the day. I’ve had dogs all my life and recently lost my beautiful black Labrador, Ralph, in January. While I’m not quite ready for another dog of my own, I would love to open my home to yours and give them the same love and care. My aim is to provide a true “home away from home” — dogs are welcome to relax freely in the house and garden, and be part of a safe, comfortable environment. I’ll always treat them as if they were my own. I work from home most days, so your dog will have plenty of company and care. I can only accept bookings when I’m working from home. I only take one dog at a time. Dogs are treated like family and I like them to feel relaxed, with free roam, sofas, beds, a garden fully secure, and countryside walks.

About: I’ve been around animals since I was 8, growing up with a Jack Russell cross and a Staffy, and I’ve always loved caring for animals. I often look after my friends golden retrievers so also used to being around larger dogs. I now have my own 2-year-old British Shorthair, Mimi, who is neutered and very much part of the family. My partner has also grown up around a variety of animals, so we both have plenty of experience and genuinely enjoy being around pets. I’m comfortable caring for senior dogs who may need a little extra attention and understand that every dog has different needs and routines. I enjoy walking and spending time outdoors, so having a friendly dog along for the walk is a bonus! We’re looking forward to helping other pet owners out and giving their pets plenty of care, attention and cuddles while they’re away. I currently work full-time in marketing, which gives me plenty of flexibility throughout the week. My partner also works from home four days a week, so between us, we can easily fit pet care around our working day, whether that’s walks, feeding, playtime or simply giving your pet some company and attention. We’re also free on weekends, giving us plenty of time to give your pet some extra love and attention, with the added bonus of being able to take them on some lovely walks around the Yorkshire Dales 🐾 We want your pet to feel happy, comfortable and cared for while you’re away, and we’ll treat them as one of our own! ❤️ We have an enclosed garden with plenty of grass, sun and shade for your pet to relax in and go to the toilet! I can accommodate a crate trained dog (we can even supply the crate) or one that likes company to sleep next to 🫶🏼

About: I grew up with dogs and absolutely love their company for long walks in the area that i live in, along with lots of playtime I am currently single and retired so now have lots and lots of spare of time for lovely long walks and plenty of time to play I have fields on three sides of my house, pets would be able to roam inside bungalow freely or be caged if required by owners

About: I have taken care of pets in both my professional and personal life for over 20 years. I love interacting with different animals and getting to show them lots of love and care. As I am a stay at home mum I can dedicate lots of time and care to your furry friend and my schedule is flexible. I am confident in caring for animals with extra needs such as medication, injections, tooth brushing, grooming as well as being very understanding of behavioural needs such as separation anxiety, nervousness around other dogs etc. Due to my previous career I have a good understanding of breed traits and personalities. I’m currently an house wife with three children and could look after your pet all week. My eldest child is at school and my middle child is at nursery two days a week with my youngest at home with me - all are brilliant around animals. I have a fenced garden and there is a secure dog walking routes near to my house. I am happy to accept crates to create a safe space for your dog to visit if they are worried or stressed along with relaxing remedies. I would love to be able to take your furry friend further afield so car crate/harness would be great.

About: I have recently lost my best friend of 13 years and beautiful GSP, Heidi. I work from home and miss the company, toe beans and nose boops. I have a lovely big garden for sniffs and exploring and of course time for tummy rubs and ear scratch’s. A well behaved dog is very welcome here. No aggressive dogs please. I don’t allow dogs on our sofa. I have two children 11 & 7. Will bring your precious pup with me on the school run so they are not left alone but they will have to be happy in a car and well behaved. 🙂 Hi!! After losing my own dog of 13 years in August 2026, I would love the pleasure of the company and privilege of taking care of your dog during the day. I recognise that dogs such precious family members and will take the very best care of your furry family member. While I WFH all day, I do the school run from 0830 - 0910 and 1510 - 1535. Your dog will come along with me if they are comfortable in the car so they won’t be left alone. My children are 11 & 7 and used to dogs. I have a lovely big garden with lots of bushes and trees for your dog to sniff and space to sunbathe. School holidays may vary but notice will be given. Must be collected by 1630 due to clubs. Our garden is surrounded by 5ft hedges and secured with gates. We don’t allow dogs upstairs or on the couch but we have loads of space to roam and snuggle. I am home all day and can’t wait to look after your precious pup.

About: I've taken care of a variety of dogs, big & small and tend to each of their needs including: daily walks, feeding routines, training reinforcement and their individual personalities. Neighbours, friends and family have relied on me to look after and play with their pets for over 9years. I have my own Cocker Spaniel puppy so have experience looking after young dogs. I'm comfortable following owners instructions for their pets and want to make sure they are as happy as possible leaving their dogs with me. I'm currently working from home so I can be in the house at all times to play with and look after your pet! I'm available for boarding weekdays and weekends and can also go to your home during the day for check-ins and walks with your pet. I have a large fenced in garden for your pet to play in and a very friendly cocker spaniel to make friends with! My dog is crate trained so has his own bed area. I can easily set up a crate for your dog too if provided.

“A big thank you to Nicole for looking after Indi again t was obvious how much Indi enjoys being with Nicole by India's reaction when I dropped her off. She was so excited to be at Nicole's again. I received lots of photos showing Indi enjoying herself. I will have no hesitation of using Nicole again when I need weekend doggy day care.”

About: I have been looking after animals for most of my life, and would be happy to help with other peoples furry friends. I have a 3 legged cat and a young (ish) friendly dog. I like an active house, and am always happy to go out for extra walks, and will get out in any weather for some fresh air and a run around. I have experience with dogs of all ages and from small to large breed, and am confident and calm with nervous dogs or those who have come from rescue and need a little more special tlc. I can look after your loved furry friend Monday to Friday in the afternoons and evenings in term time with more flexibility in the school holidays. The family pets have the run of the house, and also have an outdoor run to go into when the weather is good. Our dog has a blast out in the woods in the morning before breakfast to work up an appetite and then a walk or run later in the day. We also have a large garden and attached woodland for exploring and to keep active brains busy

“Amazing! I was worried about leaving my dog with Hollie as he’s a rescue and I didn’t know if he would think I have left him and display tricky behaviour, he felt so content and happy with Hollie and I was kept up to date all day and felt comfortable and assured! I went to pick him up and he didn’t even want to come home! Hollie catered to all his needs such as walks, cuddles and toilet breaks and kept me up to date continuously throughout the day! Hollie is definitely Pepe approved 🤍 Thank you Hollie!”

“Grace was amazing.she had never met Ossie and instantly made him feel comfortable.she was helpful, positive and he clearly was very happy to be there. When I went to get him he walked back into the house a couple of times and played in her garden while we chatted. I would recommend her to anyone”

“Amanda and her family were lovely with George, she was attentive and welcoming, George had a lovely time and walks. Amanda was the right fit for George as he can get anxious on the rare accession we have to leave him somewhere new. Thank you Amanda.”

Paddy M.

“Our 3.5 month pup had a lovely day with Jessica and her husband. We plan for him to stay while we go on holiday and wanted to give him chance to get to know them first. We were anxious as we had not left him with anyone else, but we didn’t need to worry as he settled straight away- and had lots of fun. Jessica is quick to respond to messages and sent photos of his day. Thank you”

About: I’ve had dogs around me for as long as I can remember. Over the years, I’ve owned and cared for dogs of all sizes, breeds and personalities, giving me plenty of experience in understanding their individual needs and routines. I know how important it is for owners to feel confident that their dog is safe, happy and well cared for while they’re away. Every dog staying with me will be treated with kindness, patience and plenty of affection, just like a member of the family. My goal is to provide a loving, calm and secure environment where your dog can feel relaxed, comfortable and at home. I am at home full-time, which means your dog will rarely, if ever, be left alone and will receive constant care and attention throughout the day. My flexible schedule allows me to keep to your dog’s usual feeding times, toilet breaks and walking routine. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playtime or simply relaxing in a calm environment, I will make sure they feel safe, comfortable and loved throughout their stay. We have a warm, dog-loving family home where every dog is treated like part of the family. I live with my husband, our two university-aged children and our 4-year-old daughter, who is gentle and respectful around animals. We have a fully fenced, secure garden with plenty of space to explore, play and relax safely. I only accept a limited number of dogs at a time so that every pet receives plenty of individual attention, care and affection.
