Doggy Day Care Pollington

About: I’ve had family dogs all of my life, and my own dogs for the last 15 years or so. I often look after dogs of family and friends. I currently have a ten year old male patterjack who is good with other dogs and a six year old daughter who loves dogs too. Your dog will be allowed everywhere in the house and can even sleep in bed with me and my dog should they wish. We do an hour long walk in woodland each day and lots of play and attention at home. I work part time from home so your dog will never be left alone for more than 30 minutes. We go walking in the local woodland for an hour each day. Your dog can treat our home like their own. I have a fenced garden but your dog will never be left outside unattended. I have a dog friendly small male dog and a daughter. Your dog will be allowed anywhere in the home. I will only feed your dog with food and treats you provide unless you specify otherwise. They can sleep where they like but I’ll adhere to your required sleeping arrangements for them.

About: I have previous experience owning and caring for two dogs. Although I do not currently have dogs, this experience has given me a strong understanding of dogs’ daily routines, behavior, and care needs. I am familiar with feeding schedules, walking, playtime, basic grooming, and providing companionship. I am patient, responsible, and attentive, and I always prioritize each dog’s safety and comfort. I carefully follow owners’ instructions and adapt my care to suit different personalities and energy levels. I will treat every dog with kindness, respect, and genuine care. I am currently available 7 days a week . I am flexible with timings and happy to discuss specific schedules and arrangements based on your needs. I have a house with fenced garden, I provide a safe, calm, and caring home environment where pets are treated as part of the family. My home is secure, clean, and free from hazards, and pets are always supervised. I follow the owner’s instructions closely, including feeding routines, exercise, medication, and any special requirements.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs since being a little child. From being puppies to adult hood I have the experience and knowledge of how dogs can behave and interact. I have experienced many different situations which has given me the knowledge and skills to be able to overcome any issues effectively. I understand how dogs may react differently depending on the situation and how to manage this. I currently work from home full time 5 days a week on weekdays. This gives me more flexibility regarding my work life balance along with my home life. I also have access to a car. In order to care for pets in the owners home I will get to know the animal and have through interactions with them in order to access their needs. Conversations with the owners will also provide me with more information in order to care for them in the best possible way.

“Sharron went above and beyond in her care of Albie on what turned out to be the hottest day in the UK since records began! He’s quite floofy, so this is a big deal. Her texts both before and during his daycare were lovely, and she was really helpful when we were a bit later than we’d intended to be. Great service and if we needed her again, would get in touch without hesitation. Recommended by humans, and the doggo loved her”

“We were more than delighted to leave Frankie with Paul. He is very professional and supportive and we were very comfortable with his commitment to providing the ideal experience for Frankie and indeed for us. The handovers were seamless and well planned. We would not hesitate to use Paul's services again.”

“Piper was clearly very happy with Ian and their little pug. He sent me photos throughout the day and it was a relief to know she was okay, as that was the first time I’d left her with someone that wasn’t family. She’s been a few times now and is always excited when she arrives, she knows where she is! Ian’s got a large secure garden and Piper enjoys playing and sniffing. Their little pug is a sweetheart and she was happy having Piper in her house. I will continue to use Ian as my doggy daycare - Piper is very happy with him.”

About: Pets have always been part of my life. I’m gentle, patient and attentive, and I’ll treat your pet like family, with plenty of love and care. I work from home always, which gives me plenty of flexibility to give your dog attention and companionship throughout the day. I’m available for boarding, walks and visits, including weekends and weekdays. I’m happy to follow your dog’s usual routine as closely as possible. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a secure community garden and two friendly dogs who are used to having dogs and Cats companies. I can keep the pets separated when needed and provide a calm, supervised environment tailored to their individual needs.

About: In my life I have had the pleasure of living with and looking after a variety of animals. From kittens to doberman puppies- i love all animals! I especially enjoy working with and caring for dogs, whether they need extra attention due to age or health, or they prefer their own space. I’m sure I would be able to take care of their needs 😊 I currently work in shifts but am very flexible; I can have time off if/when required and can also nip home throughout the day to check in on your loved one! I only work 5 minutes away and have a camera to set up if your dog is ok to be left alone for periods. I live alone in my house and in my spare time love to cook, walk and read books. Your companion will fit right in! I have a camera and baby gate at the bottom of my stairs to keep your companion in a secure environment, however if acceptable to you i am happy for them to go upstairs and on furniture. I am happy to go by your rules!

About: Hi!! I have 40 years experience with animals. I've had cats most of my life, for the last 5 years I’ve had fish, but the love of our lives was Hooch our Dogue De Bordeaux, who we had the pleasure of knowing for only a short 4 years, since then there has been a big hole in our hearts. We can’t bring ourselves to get another dog just yet, so we would love to share yours 🥰 I call into my friends on a weekly basis and check her babies, Stanley and Sidney who are Italian Greyhounds. I work casual hours at a school on an as-needed basis, so my schedule can be quite flexible and I’m often available during the daytime as well as after school. My availability varies depending on when I’m needed at school, but I keep my calendar updated and open so you can easily see when I’m free. During the school holidays I have even greater availability for doggy day care, walks and drop-in visits. Your pet will be treated as one of the family while in my care. We have a large, secure enclosed garden with plenty of space to play and relax, and pets are welcome to make themselves comfortable in our home, including on the furniture! I will always follow your usual feeding, walking and care routine and make sure I understand any individual needs beforehand. I’m very happy to arrange a meet-and-greet before their first visit so you and your pet can get to know me and feel completely comfortable.

“Sid loves his cuddles with Zoe. Zoe is fantastic with Sid and it gives me peace of mind that he’s been looked after so well when I have to work away. Thanks Zoe”

About: I grew up basically on a small holding with hundreds of animals, my childhood home was like a mini zoo, always around dogs/cats and various exotic species. My family bred various breeds of dogs and ive always loved cats, dogs and dog training. My family always had 4/5 minimum at one time so home doesn't feel like home without lots of wagging tails around. Since leaving college and university my career has been within the animal sector. Vet nurse Farm manager Zookeeper Animal educator / educational presenter Reptile keeper Pet therapy dogs Animal therapy provider Kennel worker These are the job titles ive held over the years. I have a National Diploma in Animal Management and care I have a Degree in Animal Care & Zoology I am level 3 dog and cat first aid trained and have frequent refresher courses. I am a DEFRA trained and qualified microchip implanter so I see many dogs and cats from all walks of like and temperaments. I have completed various courses for feline behaviour and also dog behaviour & training. I work from home, animals are my life and my household revolves around my pets. Every day all my dogs and cats are fed, cleaned cuddled and cared for. I'm with them throughout the day for extra play, training and of course lots of walks and cuddles. My life revolves around my pets and it's always been this way. I will always provide the same love, care and attention to any pet coming over for their short / long stay. They'd be treated as part of our pack, as part of our family whilst here ❤️ I have plenty of spaces for additional dogs, either to be with my own dogs OR to be separated if wanted/needed. I have a dog living room , a cat living room and a living room spare for anyone who likes to be alone and wants peace and quiet can relax. I have many spaces for cats as my cats have the entire house to roam free but I also have an animal room attached to the house that turns into a cattery or kennels if any owner prefers their cat/dog to be separated from the pets I have. My animal room is spacious and kept clean. It has many beds and hideouts as well as a TV and sofa bed so any cat or dog will feel at home. Its easy for me to go in there and chill out watching TV giving cuddles creating that homely experience for any pet staying. I have a garden that's fully secured with fencing and 2 garden gate system for extra security. The property is covered with cameras and has 24/7 CCTV surveillance. I like to always give owner updates and keep in contact, providing videos and photos of how their family member is getting on for reassurance.

About: My husband and I have looked after dogs for a number of years. These have varied, from puppies to adults, small to large, as well as high energy, confident to more nervous rescue dogs. What their stay looks like, is shaped around the needs of the dogs, their current routines, enrichment activities, exciting walks and any specific requests from their owners. We are passionate about creating an environment where a dog can thrive and develop in a home away from home. We have our own gorgeous pooch called Bonnie. She is very relaxed around other dogs, as she has socialised with dogs both inside and outside the home since we adopted her in 2024. She's very independent and calm in the house, but loves to explore with her fellow dogs when out and about on a walk. We also volunteer at a dog shelter, where we walk, train and lead enrichment activities with Romanian Rescue dogs. Through this experience working with a brilliant dog trainer and head of the charity, we understand that every dog is totally different, therefore, their care plan and routine need to reflect as much and be tailored to their personalities. As a result, we are confident with rescue dogs or those who are anxious and less confident. We typically take the dogs out for a morning walk, which will be roughly an hour. I work full time from home, which allows me to be home all day with the dogs. We will then have a shorter second walk, with playtime and enrichment thrown in! We have a fenced garden, as well as a field two minutes from our house, where dogs have plenty of space to run and play as they wish!

About: Me and my wife Katy are a dog-loving family with real, hands-on experience — not just with easy dogs. Our beagle Oscar (12) has been with us for 6 years. He's a committed food thief, so we're well used to keeping counters, bins, and pockets secure, and he's trained in sit, down, stand, leave it, recall, and roll over. Our husky Amber (4) has been with us for 3 years — she's an attention seeker, but that doesn't faze us; we know dogs like her just need someone happy to give them the engagement they're after. We usually walk our own dogs at lunchtime and after tea, but we're happy to adapt to whatever routine suits your dog best — whether that's their usual feeding times, walk schedule, or any specific habits they're used to. Both our own dogs are on specific food regimes, so we're used to weighing out meals precisely and giving supplements on schedule — it's something we look for in other carers too, so you can trust us to follow your instructions diligently, right down to the last gram. We also have a 6ft fenced garden for safe off-lead time. I'm currently between jobs, which means I have plenty of flexibility and availability during the week. Pet care fits easily into my day — whether it's a lunchtime walk, an evening routine, or being on hand throughout the day for feeding, play, and company. I'm not juggling a 9-5, so I can give your dog consistent attention and stick closely to whatever schedule they're used to. In my own home, dogs benefit from a secure 6ft fenced garden for safe off-lead time, a settled routine, and the same care I give my own two dogs — Oscar (12, beagle) and Amber (4, husky). My own dogs sleep in the kitchen overnight, but I'm happy to adapt sleeping arrangements to suit your dog's needs and what they're used to at home. I pay close attention to feeding, weighing out meals precisely and giving supplements on schedule if needed, and I'm happy to follow any specific instructions around diet, medication, or habits. For walks, I usually go out at lunchtime and after tea, but I'm flexible and happy to fit around what your dog is used to. In a pet owner's home, I follow the same principles — sticking to their normal routine, feeding schedule, and any training cues they respond to (like sit, down, leave it, or recall), so the visit feels as familiar and low-stress as possible for them.

“Eric always loves going to stay with Ellie and Adis. Communication is great throughout the day and Eric is always worn out after a day with Ellie (which is very hard to do). Would not hesitate to recommend.”

“Rhianne was kind enough to agree to look after my three pups for two days and they had a great time…so much so that they were a more than a little bit reluctant to come home with me when I collected them. Clear to me that she really cares and gives any dogs she looks after loads of attention including plenty of cuddles. Would definitely recommend and my dogs will definitely be visiting her again in the future.”

About: I've always had dogs in my life. I lost two elderly dogs last year and so badly miss having dogs . I dog sit for our friends dogs whenever possible, but would like to open our home to more. More cuddles, more walks, more mess and more craziness. If you have a dog who needs close attention and wants to feel secure, I can give that care. If your dog needs long walks, I would love that. Our two dogs became infirm when they were old. If you dog needs extra care as an elderly dog, I have the experience. I hold independent comprehensive dog-care insurance. I work part time from home. No routine as such, so I can fit around what your dog needs. Some days are quiet and other days include a long walk and play. We have a large, fenced, dog friendly garden which is completely secure. Your dog will have plenty of room, inside and out. Plus my bed to sleep on, if that is what they like.
