Doggy Day Care in North Devon

“Nicky & Cy were very welcoming for Jesse and she took to them straight away. They gave her a wonderful day and looked after all her needs as she is very elderly. Would definitely use again.”

“Michael’s family are so in love with dogs that it’s clear to see from the second we Winnie entered their home. We were at a wedding and so naturally nervous about leaving our little girl for the whole day, but we had regular updates, pictures and stories. Winnie even got to enjoy a trip to the beach! It was so comforting knowing that she was in safe hands, and we will 100% be rebooking the next time we are in Devon for an event and need Winnie taken care of.”

About: Hi there, I’m Stephie, A bit about me :) I’ve grew up with two boarder collies that I walked daily and since then have always been a dog lover! Always offering to take care of friends, family’s and colleagues furry friends. I have a 3 year old tiny mini dachshund who is very loving and extremely friendly ! She loves other dogs and always keen for a playmate. I am very kind and caring toward animals and will always put your pets needs first. I work from home and go on walks in the morning, lunchtime and in the evening so can do drop ins or have your dog here. I have a back courtyard which is secure with surrounding walls. My puppy is very friendly and playful and can keep your fur baby company if you’re open to that, if not I can keep them seperate. I do also have a cat but he’s extremely independent and loves just chilling in my bedroom whilst we are downstairs'.

“Angela was very knowledgeable and professional. Clearly knows exactly what she’s doing. Gave us great peace of mind. Thank you!”

About: I've been around dogs for as long as I can remember, growing up with them from birth and owning my own for the past 15 years. From the age of 10, I was walking dogs for neighbours and local families, which gave me early hands on experience and a real love of caring for dogs of all ages, breeds and personalities. I have trained a number of dogs including my own dogs and feel confident supporting a wide range of needs, from energetic puppies who need plenty of stimulation to older dogs who enjoy a gentler pace and extra cuddles. We are a very animal loving family made up of myself, my husband and our daughter, who has grown up around animals and understands how to be kind, gentle and respectful with them. Our home offers a genuine home from home environment where dogs are treated as part of the family. We share our home with Rosie, our 14 year old Collie x Poodle, Daisy, our 1 year old Labrador Retriever and our 16 year old Cat Bella who tends to keep herself to herself. As you'll see from the photos, they are very happy, friendly dogs and a huge part of our family. They both enjoy the company of other dogs and are used to sharing their space. We have a secure, good sized garden for safe outdoor play and love exploring the beautiful North Devon countryside, beaches and woodland walks. Whether your dog enjoys adventures, games or simply relaxing at home, we'll make sure they feel happy, comfortable and well cared for. Both my husband and I between us ensure one of us work from home each day of the week, which means dogs in our care have company and supervision for the vast majority of the day. Aside from short school runs or quick errands, someone is usually at home. If your dog is unable to be left alone, please get in touch as we can often accommodate this too. I know how important it is to feel completely confident that your pet is safe, happy and loved while you're away. Whether you're heading off on holiday, need regular daycare, or are visiting North Devon and want to enjoy an activity where dogs can't join, we would be delighted to help. Any dog staying with us will be treated as an honorary member of the family, with plenty of affection, attention and care. I'm also happy to provide regular updates and photos, so you can relax knowing your dog is having a wonderful time. As a dog owner, I use pet sitters myself when we travel, so I completely understand how difficult it can feel leaving your dog with someone new. I'm always happy to answer any questions and arrange a meet and greet so you can feel reassured that we're the right fit for your dog. I'm not the best at remembering to take photos of myself, but I've included some of our favourite pictures, along with our garden and a few snapshots from adventures with Rosie and Daisy. I hope they give you a feel for the happy, dog loving home we can offer. We both work from home, meaning your dog will have company and supervision for the vast majority of the time (around 95%), aside from short periods such as school runs or quick errands. We always prioritise being with any dog in our care, ensuring they feel settled, safe and never left for long periods. If they could not be left we can also work with this! I understand how important it is to feel your pet is safe and happy, whether you’re away on holiday or just need support during the day. If a working day our dogs get 2 - 3 walks a day from 30 minutes to 45 minutes in a range of different settings. We can meet any timetable for feeding required. I have a fenced garden and 2 friendly dogs that will support in keeping your pup entertained and engaged in games (they love tug of war and ball games!) and lots of cuddles and fuss throughout the day. We live in a quiet estate. We also can offer quiet area’s of the house if they need a little downtime to themselves where we can sit with them if required away from our pups.

About: Our dog Mia (Sprocker) is at the heart of our family. We have trained her from a puppy and we love walking and being outdoors. My husband and I work from home, taking our dog for a walk three times a day, we have access to public footpaths and several beaches only 10 minutes' drive away. We have an enclosed courtyard and also access to over an acre of land for the dogs to run more freely and a dog crate if required.

About: I’ve looked after neighbours family and friends dogs for years and have always had dogs growing up and as an adult . I’ve had my current dog for nearly 3.5 years and trained him as a puppy Caring for pets fits naturally into my daily routine. I have a flexible schedule that allows me plenty of time for walks, playtime, feeding, and giving pets the attention they deserve. Having a dog myself ,I understand the importance of maintaining your pet’s normal routine and will keep you updated with regular messages and photos so you can feel confident they’re happy and well cared for while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I provide a calm, loving environment where pets can relax and feel at home. I follow all feeding, exercise, medication, and care instructions carefully and always make sure pets have fresh water, plenty of attention, and a safe space to rest. I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos, and I’ll treat your pet with the same care and affection I would give my own. My garden is safe and fenced to ensure your dog will be safe and will keep an eye on them the whole time they are with me

“Kit had a wonderful day with Caitlin and Hugh - he came home and slept and slept! Thanks for keeping him entertained and for sending me pictures of fun in the park. Much appreciated that you were able to come and drop Kit off as well. We'll see you again soon!”

About: I've had a number of dogs (Akita's)and a couple of rabbits as you can see from the photo they are well looked after . .

“Nikita was incredible! She took care of my puppy Pilchard on his first ever night away from me, and her kindness really shone through. Pilchard is a nervous pup and she was so understanding, and even let him sleep in her bed when he was feeling scared in his crate. She sent lovely, reassuring updates, and every part of the experience was seamless. I definitely recommend Nikita.”

Helen L.

“Perfect. Koda was very happy. Reliable, great communication. Would recommend”

About: I have grown up with lots of different types of dogs and only recently lost our little 18year old terrier who I trained as a puppy. I also have experience dog sitting and walking for my neighbours I have recently left my job and moved back home to my mums. I have a free schedule for the summer whilst I decide what I want to do next and look for new work I live with my mum and our little dog recently passed away, I would love to have another dog around to give endless cuddles to. The house is secure and garden is fenced. I am used to having a dog around to look after.

About: We have owned a rescue greyhound for a few years now and so have plenty of experience with quiet and nervous dogs. He has come on leaps and bounds since adoption! We often look after our friend’s retriever, and have also looked after numerous sighthounds. My partner and I are full-time workers but both work from home and so will always be around to give dogs all the love and attention they need! We provide a calm and comfortable space for dogs whilst in our home. We have six foot fencing and a nice long garden for them to stretch their legs! Our garden backs directly onto a long secluded trail where we do our daily walks. Dogs will always be kept on the lead.

“From the moment we arrived at Eve’s beautiful house in the countryside we were made to feel very welcome and our dog Mabel was playing with Eve’s partner Brandon. She didn’t even notice we left!!! Eve sent us updates, photos and videos throughout the day; and Mabel clearly had a great day playing in the fields. We will definitely be using Eve again to look after Mabel. Thank you both!”

“We booked Olivia while we were on holiday to take Max out for a few hours and she was perfect. She clearly cared for Max and he came back a happy, tired out pup, just what we needed”
