Doggy Day Care in Richmondshire

“A huge thank you to Brian and Gill for looking after our 8month old husky pup. Clear communication from the start and was pleased to have a meet and greet before the day. We had regular updates through messages, photos and even videos and it was clear Tsar was settled and happy. On his return home Tsar was straight back into his home routine with no issues again testament to Brian and Gill. Won't hesitate to use again.”

About: I have grown up around dogs. I’ve had four of my own, training them as puppies and nursing 3 of them through their senior years. My home is a two minute walk to the river and is right next to a forest, set in the centre of a golf course, far from busy traffic, meaning your pet will have lots of safe and exciting walks. This is the perfect place for pets! I am an artist who works from home so will have lots of time to play with your pup. I love walking around my local area and your Good Boys and Girls will love it too. I have lawned front garden (un-fenced) and a large fully enclosed rear courtyard. I have one friendly, playful little dog to keep your pet company.

About: When taking care of your pets I will ensure to stick to any schedules and provide great care of your pets. I will also play with and help train your dog(s) (I cannot train cat's or small animals). My dog wakes me up at 7 but I tend to only go for a short walk with him and go back to bed and fully wake up around 9am (can wake up earlier) and feed my dog around this time and also take him out for a potty break. I play with him and train him taking him on a few more walks. His last potty break is at 10:30pm and I will sleep at 12am I have two enclosed yards and I am crate training my own dog and can provide crate training if needed. I make sure to keep my home as clean as I can to ensure that there's nothing that my dog (or any other animal) can ingest that they shouldn't have

About: I (Emily) have been a dog Walker / sitter for over 16 years, looking after every sort of dog, I love them all! My husband (Sam) and I have done home boarding on and off over the years but we recently lost our beautiful dog Lola, heartbroken and with a very quiet house we would love to start home boarding again. Your dog would bring us so much comfort and be absolutely spoilt rotten! My husband works from home full time and I am a dog Walker so your dog gets the best of both worlds, if they prefer to stay at home they will have the company of my husband and if they love their walks I can take them to work with me. Whether we are taking care of your pet in our home or yours, their safety is always our main priority. We will want to know as much about your pet as possible so we can give them the best care, making sure they will always be safe and happy.

About: I have been around pets my entire life and have had my own pets, dogs, cats and hamsters. I enjoy spending time with animals and looking after them. I have recently relocated to Darlington, my husband is retiring from the Army after a full career and I am looking to look after pets full time. I have a fenced garden as we have our own dog, Bailey, a 3 years old Labrador. He is friendly and is welll socialised with other dogs. I would be taking the dogs out on walks as that is my routine with our own dog. I will only have one other families dogs up to a maximum of 2 dogs at any time.

About: I grew up around animals my whole life, from dogs, cats to pigs and goats, I have always loved animals and treated them as part of the family. From a young age I bathed, groomed and walked my family cats and dogs. I am now a professional basketball player and worked with pet owners in different countries and cities throughout my career. I have recently moved to Darlington to settle down with my boyfriend and am looking forward to helping you with your pets and any care they may need. No task is too demanding or request too silly. I play basketball for the Newcastle Eagles, we train most evening 6-8 but the rest of the time I’m free! So I can be with your pet nearly 24/7, when i leave the house at 5 my boyfriend gets home 30minutes later , so someone is always home with the doggie. I love going to the park right next to us which is dog friendly, we are not near a busy road at all. I’m happy to sit back for cuddles and movies with doggie slobber all over as much as i am playing with toys and keeping them entertained when they get the zoomies. I’m happy to adapt, and understand the importance of sticking to similar routines and schedules. I believe every home should be treated with care and respect like I would my own, and of course it be left as I found it. I am happy to clean up and do any additional tasks whilst I am pet sitting your home if needed. Forgot to get the clothes out the dryer ? Happy to help, just ask 😊

About: I have always lived with dogs in the home when growing up and have had three dogs of my own until a few years ago. I now have one older dog who is trained,calm and gets on well with other dogs. Work flexibly from home throughout the week and have no commitments at the weekend so can accommodate and provide care 7 days a week as required. Please be advised that I will be moving out of the Pickering area at sometime in late August, early September 2024. I live in very close proximity to open countryside for steady walks or exercise when needed. I also have a completely enclosed garden which allows access for regular trips outside.

“Bess had an absolutely lovely day with Emma. Emma stepped in at very short notice and gave Bess some lovely walks, including off leash and stimulation. She was very relaxed with Bess from the first moment we met and I could see that Bess was totally comfortable with her. I would not hesitate to recommend Emma as a dog sitter - fantastic, thank you.”
