Doggy Day Care in North Hertfordshire

“Without doubt the best dog caring experience I have ever had! Fiona and her lovely family were so welcoming on our first day introduction, and I felt so safe and secure leaving my beloved pup in their care. Such a lovely welcoming home. I am aware my pup is rather challenging when having his first day at doggy day care, however Fiona knew exactly how to manage him and his anxieties, she gave me great feedback and also lots of wonderful tips for training. I genuinely did not expect this level of care and I am so grateful to have met Fiona. Truly, I would highly recommend to any dog owner seeking a caring, professional and friendly service. Fiona’s rates are fantastic, especially considering the service provided, definitely top-tier, I would expect to pay more. Fiona, thank you so much for everything, for taking care of my pup and for your kind advice, so greatly appreciated. I look forward to seeing you soon ☺️”

About: I've been surrounded by dogs and cats my entire life, and I truly love the joy and companionship they bring. Caring for animals is second nature to me, and I treat every pet as if they were my own - with love, attention, and responsibility. I have experience caring for pets with special needs, including administering medication, so if your dog requires extra care, you can count on me. I’ll always keep you updated throughout the day with photos and messages. My goal is to make your dog’s experience in my care fun, safe, and full of love, plus plenty of fresh air and long walks around beautiful Hitchin :) Feel free to reach out with any questions - I’d love to meet you and your pup! I work from home and I'm very flexible with my routine. My husband works from home 3x a week and will help taking care of your dog too! I have a fenced yard and a lovely 4 month-old female dachshund who loves to meet new friends. We live near Purwell Meadows with plenty of green spaces around us.

“Thanks so much Anna - Murphy loved his stay! We will be in touch soon to book another date!”

About: I've always had a deep love for animals and take great joy in caring for them. Whether it's walking dogs, feeding pets, or simply giving them the attention they deserve, I treat every animal as if they were my own. Over the years, I've not only provided pet sitting and dog walking services but have also supported animal welfare by volunteering with a local animal sanctuary and contributing to a small animal rescue. Being around animals is truly rewarding, and I’m passionate about making sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for. Pet sitting fits perfectly into my daily and weekly routine, as caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize. Whether it’s early morning dog walks, midday check-ins, or evening visits, I’m flexible and committed to making sure each pet gets the attention and care they need. I enjoy structuring my days around caring for animals—it keeps me active, connected, and doing something meaningful. Fitting pet sitting into my schedule isn’t just convenient; it’s something I look forward to every day. I offer flexible pet care, looking after animals both in my own home and in their familiar home environment. Whether pets stay with me or I come to them, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well-loved. At my home, I provide a calm and pet-friendly space with plenty of attention and care. When caring for pets in their own homes, I follow routines closely to maintain a sense of normalcy and reduce stress. I’m committed to making every pet feel secure and cared for, no matter where they are.

“Jessica did a brilliant job looking after Loki. From drop-off to pick-up, I felt completely confident he was in good hands. He was happy, loved playing with Jessica’s own dog, and I received plenty of updates and photos showing how he was getting on. I’ll definitely be booking Jessica again the next time I need a dog sitter!”

About: Lifelong dog lover with hands-on experience from puppyhood through senior years. Our spoiled 5 year old cockapoo currently runs our household. I'm comfortable with different energy levels and temperaments. Our garden gives dogs tonnes of space to explore, burn energy, and play. Your dog will get plenty of 1-on-1 attention and live their best life. You can expect lots of pictures from at home and on walks to let you know how they’re getting on. 🦮🐶 I work from home full time, so dogs get constant supervision and companionship. My day naturally includes regular walk breaks, and I can adapt to any schedule your dog is used to. Whether they're nappers or need frequent attention, I'm available throughout the day. I'm admittedly overprotective when it comes to dog safety, which I think most dog parents appreciate! Proper lead handling is essential, and your dog will have my full attention at all times. We have crates and pens available for dogs who like their own space or follow specific routines. Our 120ft garden lets dogs explore and run about on a long lead.

“Ilinca was a perfect sitter! Sherlock was well taken care of and even felt comfortable enough of the second day to have some lunch, which is a big thing! Thank you Ilinca.”

“Clare is an excellent dog sitter. We had a great meet and greet before confirming the booking. Max was immediately comfortable around Clare and in her house. Professional, reliable service. We will definitely use again and a repeat service. The interaction with the other dogs has benefited our puppy immensely.”

“Flo has had the best day ever witih Alice and Andy. She loved playing with Murphy. Alice and Andy have wonderful countryside on their doorstep so a good walk is guaranteed. Lovely house and garden. I received regular updates and videos which were lovely to see. Would well recommend.”

About: I’m a pet sister from Hong Kong, now living in the UK for the third year. I moved here with my four cats, who are now 6 to 7 years old. After settling down, I adopted a 1.5-year-old Border Collie. I truly love all my pets—they’re my family. Pet care is a big part of my daily life—it’s not just a job, it’s something I truly enjoy. Every day, I plan my schedule around the needs of the pets I care for, whether it’s morning and evening drop-in visits, regular walks, or spending quality time with my own pets at home. I make sure to stay organized so that each pet receives the attention, exercise, and care they need. Being around animals brings me joy and keeps me active, so I always look forward to every visit or walk. When providing drop-in visits or dog walking services, I always make sure pets feel safe, loved, and respected in their own environment. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions, whether it’s feeding, cleaning, giving medication, or following a specific walking route or routine. I take time to build trust with each pet, using calm energy and gentle care so they feel comfortable around me. During walks, I stay alert and prioritize their safety at all times—avoiding busy roads, checking their body language, and ensuring they’re always on-leash unless instructed otherwise. I treat every pet like family, and always keep owners updated with messages and photos so they know their furry friend is in good hands.

“Lydia has cared for our 1 year old crazy Cockapoo a couple of times now - and she has come home sleepy from all of the walks, playtime and cuddles! I know I don’t have to worry when she is there 😊”

“Poppy really enjoyed her stay with Megan. Megan was great at keeping me updated on Poppy, she was quick to respond to my messages, and provided excellent customer service. Would definitely recommend and use her services again!”

About: Growing up surrounded by a menagerie of pets: dogs, cats, rabbits, parrots and a lizard, I have been caring for animals for over 35 years and feel that a home isn't really a home without a furry companion. Owning various pets over the years has results in me being confident in animal care and behaviour. I lead an active life and have run with, climbed mountains and trained from a puppy our working cocker spaniel, who even in old age was mistaken for a puppy! Most recently, I have supported the rehabilitation of a stray Lurcher which came into our care. Teaching her how to live in a home and learn commands and what a toy was, has been extremely rewarding. If your pet has boundless energy or is timid, old or young, this is not a problem and I can easily adapt and prioritise your pet's individual needs. There are woods and many walks in my local area and I am also close to secure dog parks if this forms part of your pets routine. Muddy boots and paws welcome! At a glance, I can offer: * 35 years plus experience * a focus on enrichment and providing a safe environment * confident to administer basic oral medication - easy access to veterinary support * experience of working with dogs of different temperaments * happy to also feed and care for other small pets * Available 24/7 during school holidays Perfect for all your school holiday, evening and weekend needs! I currently work full-time as a teacher. This allows me to have weekends totally free 24/7. I can be available from 3:30pm weekdays and possibly lunchtimes if you live locally to my work. I am able to take at short notice so please just ask. During the school holiday ( Christmas, Easter, Summer and half terms) I am available 24/7 I recommend a meet and great prior to the booking to discuss the individual needs of your pet. It would be great to know commands and favourite toys etc so I can fully engage with your dog and they can be at ease. On walks, I will always keep your dog on a lead and avoid other dogs unless you are able to inform me of any doggy friends your pet has. Due to my current employment I am DBS checked and offer a trusted and reliable service.

“We couldn’t recommend Jade enough if we tried. She is a superstar with Barney and really listened to what we needed and about Barney when we went for our meet & greet. She keeps us regularly updated with how he’s getting on which makes our day. Barney is normally quite anxious around new people but Jade must have the magic touch as he seemed to be really settled and is very content when he comes home!”

About: Hi I'm Jo. I’m a lifelong dog lover offering overnight boarding and daycare from my cozy, pet-friendly home. I work from home full-time in my studio, so your pup will have company, love, and attention throughout the day. Our home is calm and welcoming, shared with a cat and occasionally my young daughter (mostly during after-school hours). Because of this, I ask that dogs are comfortable around both children and cats. I’ve been a dog owner on and off throughout my life, and I truly love having a cuddly, chilled-out pup around to keep me company. If your dog enjoys a peaceful home, plenty of snuggles, and relaxed walks, we’ll be a perfect match. Looking forward to meeting your furry friend! I work from home Tuesday to Friday in my home studio, with full access to the house and garden. I take regular breaks throughout the day to walk and play with a dog. I'm also available for boarding every other weekend. My garden is fully dog-safe and surrounded by other gardens, offering plenty of space for your pet to explore and relax throughout the day. I also have two dog-friendly cats who would love the chance to get to know your pooch.

“Dionne took such great care of Elvis, I was left with peace of mind he was safe with regular updates and reassurance that he was having the best time. Thanks Dionne for giving Elvis a second home for the day! ❤️😊”
