Doggy Day Care in Poole

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.

“Freddy loved his day with Dawn! Even during a short stay I had regular updates with photos and Freddy looked super happy and right at home. Would definitely recommend Dawn and we wouldn’t hesitate to use them again!”

About: I have a 4 year old choc lab so have experience looking after a large, strong excitable dog. My previous choc lab was 14 when we lost him. I would be happy to look after a large dog but think a small dog would also be a treat. I work during the week so would only be available weekends & I don't drive so would be happy to drop in or walk your pet in & around my local area. I am flexible & happy to work round you. I would be guided by you entirely as to what your dog can & can't do, your preferences & would like to arrange a visit/walk prior to booking so we are all happy needs of your pet will be met. I am available for dog boarding or Doggy day care on both Saturdays & Sundays. We have some wonderful long walks in Hamworthy & Upton. I live in a house & have a fenced off back garden. Your dog will be treated as part of the family & will not be left unattended while in my care.

“Elaine is wonderful with my pup and I am so grateful she is willing and wanting to take the time to not only look after Remy but also help with her little quirks. Elaine suggested changes to our arrangements in order to suit Remy (and me!) more which I thought was so kind and I am looking forward to working with her regularly :)”

“Joanna and Sebastien helped us out at short notice after our regular dog sitter was poorly. They went out of their way to accommodate us and even met us in the morning before the scheduled booking with their gorgeous dog Pepe to make sure everyone got on! I can’t recommend them highly enough, we had photos and videos throughout the evening and Luna had a fabulous time whilst with them. We’re so happy we found someone to take care of Luna, we’ll definitely be booking with them again 😊”

About: Hi, I’m Lily, a passionate animal lover and experienced pet carer offering a safe, loving home environment for your pets. I work as a children’s social worker, which means I am around throughout the day and can provide plenty of supervision, companionship, and care for pets in my home. My professional background means I am highly responsible, trustworthy, calm under pressure, and experienced in meeting individual needs. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I have experience caring for dogs, cats, and rabbits. I currently have two house rabbits of my own, who are kept in their own separate room away from any dogs attending doggy daycare, so everyone can remain safe and comfortable. Over the years, I have carried out drop-in visits, feeding sessions, pop-ins, and dog walking for others. I am confident in managing pets with different personalities, routines, and needs, and I understand how important it is for owners to know their pets are in safe hands. Whether your pet needs company during the day, a walk, feeding visits, or loving care while you’re away, I will treat them as if they were my own, with patience, attention, and lots of affection. I would love to meet you and your pet and provide a caring, reliable service you can trust. I work from home during the week, which means pet care fits naturally into my daily routine and allows me to provide regular supervision, companionship, toilet breaks, feeding, and attention throughout the day. I am able to build walks, playtime, and care around my schedule, ensuring pets are not left alone for long periods. My evenings and weekends are also flexible, allowing me to accommodate dog walks, drop-in visits, and daycare depending on your pet’s needs and routine. In my home, I provide a calm, safe, and loving environment where pets are supervised, given regular toilet breaks, exercise, playtime, and lots of affection. I always follow each pet’s usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walk preferences, and any individual needs. I have two free roaming house rabbits of my own, who will be kept on a separate floor away from any dogs attending daycare, ensuring a safe environment for all animals. When caring for pets in an owner’s home, I respect their routine and home environment, making sure pets feel comfortable and cared for in familiar surroundings. Whether this is feeding, drop-in visits, companionship, or walks, I take the time to understand each pet’s personality and needs and always provide reliable, attentive care.

“Nesrine has looked after Milo a couple of times now and she is such a nice person and very clearly loves all animals. She keeps me up to date throughout his time with her. I would recommend her 100%”

“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.”

“Krzysztof and his family took great care of my dog while I was at work. They played with him a lot which he really enjoyed and his son became his best play friend. By the time I took him home, he was already crying after Krzystof's son. Thank you for treating Mochi like your own!”

About: With over 5 years of experience in pet sitting, starting from my time in Liverpool to my current home in Poole, I offer a professional and highly personalized service. What sets me apart is my ability to provide a consistent "work-from-home" presence; your dog will be under my direct supervision throughout the entire day, ensuring they never feel lonely or anxious. I have extensive experience with puppy training support, helping maintain routines for young dogs, as well as providing gentle senior care for older pets who need a calmer pace and extra attention. My resident Dachshund, Nina, is excellently socialized, making my home an ideal environment for dogs who enjoy calm canine company. I am a firm believer in positive reinforcement and clear communication. I pride myself on being extremely organized with feeding schedules and specific medical needs. While I live in a family environment that provides a warm atmosphere, I am the sole professional caregiver, managing all walks, training reinforcement, and specialized care myself to ensure the highest standards of safety and attention for your furry family member. Pet care is the heart of my daily routine. As I work from home for Airbnb, I am present throughout the entire day, providing constant supervision and companionship. My schedule is built around the dogs: we start with a morning walk at 8:30 AM, followed by a midday stroll at 1:00 PM, and a late afternoon walk around 5:00 PM. Because I am always home, I can easily adapt to any specific potty breaks or feeding schedules your pet requires, ensuring they feel secure and settled in a professional "home-office" environment. Safety is my absolute priority. I manage all pet care personally in my home, which features a fully fenced and secure garden for safe outdoor play. Indoors, pets stay with me in my dedicated home office or the main living area, always under my direct watch. I maintain a calm and respectful atmosphere, and I only accept dogs that are well-socialized and friendly. Whether your dog needs their own crate for naps or prefers a cozy spot on the sofa, I ensure a controlled, stress-free environment where they are monitored and loved 100% of the time.

“Thank you so much to Aljona for looking after Ram today so that we could visit Monkey World. He ran straight in and settled immediately and was very happy when I picked him up. Aljona kept me updated with photographs and messages. If we are ever in the area again we would definitely use her and would recommend her to anyone who is on holiday and needs someone to look after their dog”

“Nicola was fab looking after Maisie for us. She used her experience with dogs to ensure Maisie got on well with Charlie. I would definitely recommend Nicola and look forward to using her again. Thank you Nicola!”
