Doggy Day Care Poole

About: I'm David, currently completing my professional dog trainer certification. I offer patient, structured care for dogs of all ages and temperaments — from energetic pups needing a good walk to older dogs who just want a calm, familiar face. My training background means I'm confident handling leash manners, basic obedience, and dogs who need a bit of extra structure or reassurance while their owners are away. Based in Poole, I treat every dog in my care like my own — with consistency, patience, and genuine attention. Monday to Thursday is when I'm most available for drop-ins. I also work night shifts on weekends, so I can fit in daytime visits before my shift starts on those days too. I keep a consistent schedule so your dog can rely on the same times and pace each visit, and I'm happy to discuss specific timing needs before booking to make sure it works for both of us. Your dog's safety is my top priority. I use secure leashes and harnesses, avoid off-lead situations unless explicitly agreed with you, and stay alert to other dogs, traffic, and wildlife on every walk. I'm currently completing professional dog trainer certification, which means I'm trained to read canine body language and step in early if a situation looks like it could escalate.

About: Extensive experience caring for and boarding dogs from a young age as a part of a family business. I grew up in a home where we boarded all kinds of animals but mainly dogs. We have had long term and short term stays and dealing with all different breeds and personalities has taught me patience, care for specific needs, a deeper understanding for how each dog requires different activities for stimulation and fun. This inspired me to do my canine psychology A-level as I was so passionate about caring for dogs, knowing their rich history and knowing how to care for them in the right way. I am currently studying Canine psychology from home so my hours are very flexible. I am a full time carer for my Dog Buddy who is a lively and very friendly cockapoo, aged 2. My daily and weekly routine would be built around your dogs needs and comfort. I have cared and looked after many different dogs, including anxiously attached. My home has a fenced garden that is fully secure so you're dogs can roam free. They are allowed in all areas of the home as its fully safe and secure. There are plenty of safe places around me (woods, park, beach) depending on your preference. Your dog would have my full attention and love as dogs are the thing that makes me happiest in the world.

About: I take the time to understand every dog’s routine, personality, and needs so they feel safe, comfortable, and at home. I’m experienced with dogs of all ages and temperaments, including seniors and anxious pups, and I make sure every dog feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I don't work now, so I can devote all of my time to caring, playing and fun walks with your dog. I have two parks near by and we have lots of calm cuddles and comfy naps after. I am licenced with BCP and Safety, trust, and a calm environment are always my top priorities. I care for pets in a clean, secure, and comfortable home where they’re never left unattended for long periods. I carefully follow each pet’s routine, and care instructions to help them feel settled and stress-free. I keep a close eye on behavior, energy levels, and appetite, and I’m quick to respond if anything seems off. I treat every pet like family—making sure they feel safe, loved.

About: Since I was little, I’ve always been surrounded by animals. Growing up with dogs, cats and other pets taught me to understand their needs and emotions. I know how to make them feel safe, cared for and happy I currently work remotely from home, which gives me plenty of time for walks and playtime with your furry friend. My children absolutely love dogs and cats and enjoy spending time with them, helping with play and gentle care, which creates a warm and friendly environment for any pet. I have two spacious gardens where pets can safely run, play or relax, as well there’s a beautiful park just a short walk away — perfect for longer adventures.

About: I’ve loved and cared for animals throughout my life and understand just how much they mean to their families. I have extensive experience with dogs and cats, including providing attentive care for pets who need a little extra patience and support. I also grew up around horses and am confident caring for and handling them. I offer reliable, personal care and treat every animal as if they were my own. Whether it’s walks, home visits, feeding, companionship or overnight house sitting, their happiness, routine and safety always come first. I’m active and love long walks, so I’m equally happy caring for energetic dogs who need plenty of exercise or older pets who prefer a gentler pace. I have a flexible schedule and can dedicate plenty of time to caring for your pets. I’m available throughout the week for dog walks, drop-in visits, pet sitting and longer stays in your home. I’m happy to work around your pet’s normal routine and individual needs. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always put their safety, comfort and happiness first. I’ll follow your pet’s usual routine carefully, including feeding, walks, medication and any special requirements. I’m respectful of your home, reliable and attentive, and I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is in loving hands.

“Winston had the best time with Patrycja, her lovely family and of course Gaia! Winston loves being with people and playing with other dogs - he had such a great time that we literally had to drag him out with us. Patrycja made everything so easy and was more than accommodating.”

“We couldn’t have been happier with the care Patri gave our two girls. She’s a true dog person and clearly absolutely loves having them around – they were so happy and settled with her, which tells us everything we need to know! Communication was fantastic and we had lovely updates that meant we could relax knowing they were in safe hands. They were beautifully cared for and we’d book with Patri again in a heartbeat.”

“Rachael is honestly INCREDIBLE! From the moment we connected, she was super communicative, kind, and reassuring. She kept us updated the whole time with messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. Buddy was absolutely spoiled, you can tell she genuinely loves what she does and truly cares for the dogs she looks after. I’m genuinely a little worried he won’t want to come back home with us next time 😂 We couldn’t have asked for a better person to take care of our boy. Thank you so much, Rachael!”

You could tell Guoda loves animals instantly with the way she was meeting Skye which gave me a lot of reassurance. I was updated throughout the day with messages and pictures. Will definitely be back to use Guoda again🥰”
