Doggy Day Care in Mid Sussex

About: Ryan and I have plenty of experience with rescue, puppies and senior dogs, including a variety of breeds, sizes, and personalities—from energetic puppies to gentle seniors. Currently, we share our home with our own happy, well-socialised dog, and caring for her daily has only deepened our love and understanding of what dogs need to feel secure and loved. As a work-from-home couple, we're able to give dogs our full attention throughout the day. Whether it’s following specific feeding routines, administering medications, or just giving lots of belly rubs and playtime, we make sure every pup in our care is safe, happy, and comfortable. We treat every dog like they’re our own and want to create a calm, positive environment where they can relax and have fun—even while you're away. From first-time boarders to seasoned pros, we love getting to know each dog's unique personality and making sure they feel right at home. If you have specific needs or want to ask questions, please do not hesitate to get in touch. We're a work-from-home couple who share our home with our sweet, playful dog. Because we’re always home, your pup will get tons of love, attention, and supervision throughout their stay. Our routine is built around our dog, so this would be the same for yours too! We have a lovely, big and secure garden that our golden retriever LOVES. We have experience with crate training, if this is what your pup needs however they are welcome to sleep or chill wherever they like. They can roam the house as they please, we want them to feel like our place is a home-from-home! We are very flexible and understand all dogs have different needs, so please let us know how we can help to make your dog feel safe and feel like they are on their very own holiday.

“Thanks so much to Jess and Tom for taking such good care of little Pip! They instantly put me at ease at the meet and greet, I wouldn’t hesitate to use these guys again!”

“Cannot recommend these lovely ladies enough. They kindly agreed to my last minute request and an early start. They looked after Teddy as if he was their own and sent lots of updates. He had the best day! Will definitely be back.”

About: I’ll be honest… I might love animals more than humans. 🐾 (Okay, not might—I definitely do.) Whether it’s walking, playing, snuggling, or making up ridiculous nicknames for your furry best friend, I’m all in. I believe every wag, purr, and happy tail dance deserves VIP treatment, and I’ll care for your pet like they’re my own spoiled fur-baby. Basically, if your dog or cat could leave me a Yelp review, it would be nothing but five paws. 🐶🐱💖 I currently work Tuesday- Friday mostly from home Wed-Friday so I have lots of availability to take your little one out on lovely long walks or just have a snuggle on the sofa! I don’t work weekends. In my home, I create a safe and welcoming environment for pets, ensuring they have a comfortable space to relax, play, and receive plenty of attention. At a pet owner's home, I follow their specific routines and guidelines, providing a familiar atmosphere while maintaining safety and trust. Regular updates and communication keep pet owners informed and reassured about their pet's well-being.

“I can't recommend Rere highly enough after the wonderful care she provided for our young dog yesterday. From the start, she was exceptionally professional, arranging a meet and greet with our one-year-old pup to ensure she felt comfortable and reassured before her stay. As an official kennel club-registered day care provider, Rere has a thorough and reassuring process, including a comprehensive form that made it clear she was prepared for every eventuality. Her home is perfectly suited to dogs, with the entire ground floor dedicated to their comfort and a small but practical outdoor space. What truly stood out for me was how quickly our dog bonded with Rere — it was clear from the first meeting that she was in safe and loving hands. Rere's flexibility with timings was fantastic, and the regular updates in the form of photos and videos were a lovely touch, allowing me to see just how much fun our pup was having. When I picked her up, it was evident she'd had an amazing day. I'll definitely be entrusting Rere with our dog again in the future, and the fact that she also offers overnight stays is an added bonus. All in all, Rere provides a safe, happy, and welcoming environment, and I wholeheartedly recommend her services! Sarah”

About: My partner, Julian, and I can’t wait to me your doggy! My day job is as a nurse (of humans!) which I’ve been doing for the last 17 years so I’m very accustomed to being responsible for and caring for others. I’ve had a dog for the last 6 years, his name is Jimmy, he’s a lurcher and a well loved member of our family even if he does manage to steal our treats occasionally! 🤣 We’ve often cared for our friends’ dogs when they’ve been on holiday and such like. We’re able to provide daily exercise, a safe environment and lots of cuddles. We’re both fully DBS checked for our jobs. My partner and I work flexible shift patterns so we can care for and spend as much time at home as possible with our young son and dog, so we figured why not help others out too? We’re often having to look for doggy boarding when we go on trips and holidays etc, so we know how stressful it is and thought we’d try to take some of the stress out of it for others and get to make lots of new doggy friends at the same time! Julian and I will be jointly caring for your dog (with the help of our toddler too, he knows where the dog treats are kept!). We have 1 dog, he’s an old boy and mostly enjoys curling up to snooze and stealing food when he can. Our son is 2 years old, he has been around many different dogs, he loves playing with dogs, but is also aware when to give dogs space. We have an open plan downstairs which helps for observing, we’d never leave our child alone with any dogs. We have a secure garden space which is fully fenced. We’re not fussy about dogs being on furniture etc

“I strongly recommend Sam! Our dog had a great time with him and he was so kind to update me with pics! Flexible , reliable and trustworthy. Will contact him again”

About: Hi, We are David and Rachel, a couple of dog lovers who live in Haywards Heath. Rachel grow up with dogs and is a fully qualified vet and we have had three dogs of our own. Herbie and Teddy, our Shi Tzu's, and Isis, our Chocolate Labrador. Unfortunately Herbie and Isis passed away over the past two year but we recently rescued Teddy, a two year old Shid Tzu from Liverpool and would be keen to socialise him with dog boarders. Senior care: Isis and Herbie reached old age (13 and 18 respectively) so we have a lot of experience in older dog care. In addition to my experience, my wife is a Vet so as you would expect has extensive knowledge on how to treat dogs, deliver medication etc. We live in a semi detached house with a fully fenced garden and only 5 minutes walk from the local park. I work from home/remotely, so I'm always around to ensure they have the company, care and supervision they need. I can drop in or do a walk on my lunch break or before and after work. During dog sitting, I will be the primary carer for your dog/dogs, but my wife can be a secondary carer. I will keep in regular contact with pictures and pupdates while we take care of your beloved dogs, so you can have peace of mind that your pet is being well looked after.

About: Most of my pet care experience, is looking after my springer spaniel, Luna. I helped train her as a puppy and now I care for her as an adult. I have also helped out caring for other family pets over holidays. I’ve recently left university so I am free to care for pets while I work from home. I open to sitting/walking any day of the week. I have a fenced in garden, and one very friendly springer spaniel. We’ll go on walks three times a day to one of the many green areas near my home with lots of playtime in between.

About: Hi there! 👋 We are Luke & Hanshita - your dog’s soon-to-be favorite humans (after you, of course!). We offer dog walking, dog sitting and dog boarding - all with a big smile, a pocket full of treats, and a genuine love for animals. I (Luke) work from home full-time, which means your pup will get plenty of attention, companionship, and care throughout the day. Whether it’s a midday walk, a cozy cuddle break, or a game of fetch in the backyard, your dog won’t be left hanging! We live in a spacious ground floor flat so there’s easy toilet access! Our home is dog-friendly, tail-wagging approved, and shared with my lovely partner Hanshita and our friendly English Bulldog – a squishy-faced sweetheart who loves naps, sniffs, and making new furry friends. 🐾 Why choose us? We are experienced dog owners who understands that dogs are more than pets – they’re family. Whether your pup needs a high-energy adventure, a safe and loving place to stay, or just a drop-in cuddle and potty break, I’ve got it covered. We are also happy to collect and drop off if you live locally at no extra cost! 💤 For overnight stays and boarding, dogs can make themselves at home – from the couch to the dog bed (or both!). Expect regular photo updates and happy tails all around. 🚶‍♂️ For walks, I match the route and pace to your dog’s personality – whether they’re a laid-back stroller or an eager explorer. 🐶 All breeds, sizes, and personalities are welcome – shy pups, cuddle bugs, social butterflies, or high-energy zoomers! Let’s meet and make sure your dog feels comfortable and cared for. I can’t wait to become their new best friend (and your go-to sitter)! I work from home so always available for care, and my partner is home 5 days a week as well so there are no changes to our schedule! When I take your dog on a walk, their safety, happiness, and well-being are my top priorities. I tailor each walk to your dog’s energy level and personality, ensuring a balance of fun and exercise. I keep a close eye on their behavior, offering plenty of positive reinforcement and breaks when needed. I always choose safe walking routes, avoiding busy streets or dangerous areas, and use secure leashes and harnesses for extra peace of mind. If your dog loves socializing, I facilitate friendly interactions with other dogs, or if they’re more reserved, we stick to quieter paths. Hydration and comfort are key, so I’m prepared with water and anything else your pup might need. Every walk is a chance for them to explore, stay active, and feel loved.

“Shirley is super caring, friendly and positive and Lilly ABSOLUTELY loves her :) it is really good not having to worry whether my baby girl is enjoying herself and keeping safe. Would super recommend :)”

“This is the first time we’ve used Rover and what a fantastic experience we’ve had thanks to Jess and Dom. They were great at communication and being flexible. Piper seemed to have a great time and we felt they were very caring. What a lovely and friendly couple to look after her. We look forward to them having Piper again if we have a day away”

About: Hi, I’m Sarah! Our family has shared our home with animals for over 15 years — from dogs and cats to chickens, rabbits, and more. We currently have a sweet-natured cocker spaniel named Ivy and a curious little hamster named Bear. When we first moved to the UK two years ago, we spent several months house-sitting and had the joy of caring for dogs, cats, and even a bird — it was such a rewarding experience that we’ve never forgotten. Since then, I’ve used Rover myself to find trusted sitters for our own pets when we travel, and now I’m excited to offer the same peace of mind to others. Pet care fits naturally into our everyday life. I run my own small business creating handmade candles and aura sprays, which gives me a lot of flexibility in my schedule and allows me to be home throughout the day. My husband also works from home three days a week, so there’s usually someone around to give pets attention, cuddles, and care. We already walk our own dog, Ivy, daily — and we’re incredibly lucky to back onto a forest and open fields, making walks feel more like mini-adventures. It’s a peaceful, pet-friendly environment, and we love spending time outdoors with the animals. Caring for pets doesn’t feel like a chore to us — it’s something we genuinely enjoy and value as part of our routine. Whether it’s giving extra belly rubs, playtime in the garden, or peaceful naps on the sofa, we make sure every pet feels right at home. We live in a spacious home with a large, fully fenced garden that backs onto beautiful forest and open fields. It’s the perfect place for dogs to explore, play, and enjoy their daily walks with Ivy. Your pet will be treated like one of the family while in our care, with plenty of love, attention, and cuddles.

“Roscoe absolutely loved being at Sarah’s, her family and dog Ruby welcomed him in lovingly and gave him all the attention and exercise he could wish for. Will definitely be using again.”

Georgia F.

“Emma was great with our nervous dog - she kept us up to date with lots of photos and was quick to respond to messages. Will definitely be re-booking, thank you!”

Lucy T.

“After having looked after Madge so well when she boarded for 2 nights, Karmen was able to help me again at very short notice for doggy day care. Again, communication and care were second to none. Thanks for the last minute support!”

Bruce B.

“Eleanor was amazing. She took a last minute booking and still found time to meet our doggy before she stayed with her for the day. We got an update how she was doing and was flexible when we were running a little late to pick up. I would absolutely recommend Eleanor and will book again. Thank you!”

Gergana G.

“Ellie took great care of our 4 month old cockapoo puppy. Her communication before and during the doggy day care was great, and we loved receiving all the photo updates! Thank you again!”

Hollie D.

“Alex was amazing with our puppy. She had him for the day and we got updates & photos throughout. So had peace of mind. Really happy and would use again and recommend”

About: I've grown up around animals my whole life, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. Now living on my own in Bolnore Village, Haywards Heath - I'm lucky to be surrounded by beautiful fields, parks, and a huge open space right next to my flat, perfect for walks, playtime, and outdoor fun. I genuinely have to have animals in my life - spending time with them brings me joy and calm, and I make sure they feel that same comfort and attention in return. I’m home most of the day, so your pet will always have company, care, and cuddles. I also have references available and plenty of experience with pets of all ages, including puppies and older animals. Your pet’s happiness and well-being will always come first with me! Please give me a call! I work remotely from hove full-time. I rise early and enjoy staying in watching tv or finding another incredible spot around West Sussex to walk! Whether caring for pets in my own home or in a pet owner's home, I always aim to make them feel safe, loved, and comfortable, just like they would with their family. In my home, I provide a calm, clean, and welcoming environment with plenty of space for play and relaxation. I live in Bolnore Village, surrounded by nature and open fields, so dogs get plenty of outdoor time, stimulation, and exercise. I'm home throughout the day, so pets are never left alone for long and receive constant attention and care. When I care for pets in their own home, I respect their routine and space while offering the same level of love, company, and attentiveness. I stick closely to feeding schedules, walk times, and any specific instructions from the owner, including administering medication if needed - I also used to be a live-in carer :)
