Doggy Day Care in Rutland

About: I am a Dog Trainer, with a Level 4 certification. I started my career with dogs volunteering in a Grey Hound Rehome Kennel and then became a Dog Handler in 2020, since then I have completed my Dog Trainer qualification and have trained numerous working dogs in different specialised roles, from Search to Police. I currently own a retired working dog, called Rocco, a 6 year old LabX and a Belgian Malinois, Arya, who is a year old. My dogs are very well behaved and tolerant of all temperaments. They are a playful, high-energy bunch however will respect a dogs space if they are more timid. My daily work as a Dog Trainer includes addressing behavioural cases, from reactivity to human aggression cases and troubleshooting handler issues. I have aided with pet and sport dog owners providing guidance on obedience, tracking and scent-work training. Experienced with a wide variety of breeds and temperaments. I have a very flexible schedule at the moment so can give my full attention to the dogs in my care. I am available weekends and most days with prior confirmation. I have a two bedroom house with an enclosed garden, all fences are 6 ft high other than one side, which is slightly over 3ft and both neighbours either side have dogs. They are friendly, often playing and interacting with my two dogs through the fence. I have space for my dogs to be crated separately from any visiting.

About: After working with at my daughters business Perfect Paws in Corby, I’ve seen firsthand how much our clients value a warm, reliable, and professional pet care service.

Whether your pup loves a countryside adventure or a gentle stroll, I’ll make sure they’re exercised, safe, and happy while you’re away. ✅ Fully insured ✅ Experienced and friendly ✅ One-to-one or group walks available ✅ Flexible bookings in and around Rutland Hi, I’m Cat – a part-time pet carer with a flexible schedule and a big heart for animals!

About: I’ve had experience with a variety of dogs throughout childhood, but have raised labradors from puppies in my adult life. Whilst having the opportunity to be at home through the week, the biggest thing I can offer you is my time and dedication; I love all breeds and no requirement is too small. Please feel free to get in touch, even if just for a chat! My long term plans involve completing my studies to become a mental health practitioner, so I have a lot of home availability and wanted to fill my time with something that I’m really passionate about. I have a fenced garden, security cameras and a friendly Labrador to keep your dog company and entertained! I’m always attentive to making sure Toby is fed, has access to water bowls, and acknowledging communication and signals for their biological needs and play schedules! Very happy to do a meet and greet to see how you, and perhaps most importantly, your dog feels in our environment!

“Cordelia was very welcoming and clearly loves dogs. The garden is fully walled so very secure. She sent photos of him enjoying the garden. Dave returned very happy. Would recommend and would definitely use again.”

“Carl and Clare went above and beyond to have Henry at short notice during a family emergency. I was reassured the minute I met them - the very definition of 'dog people'! Very thorough pre brief and kept me updated with photos on the day. They took away a lot of stress for me during a very stressful time. Henry had the time of his life with his new gang and slept so long I had to wake him up for his breakfast the next day (unheard of!)”

Helen W.

“Helen was very sensitive to the fact Lily is unsure in unfamiliar places and let her find her own spot where she was comfortable. Lily was relaxed and happy when I picked her up.”

“Abbie looked after our little Hunny really well. She's needed extra care and Abbie was very good with this, will definitely book again :)”

“Ingrid has been wonderful with Rua. Rua took to her and her husband straight away and loves spending time with them. They have been taking Rua on walks and looking after her for day boarding, and she always comes home happy and tired from all the fun. Ingrid is friendly, reliable, and easy to communicate with. We feel completely comfortable leaving Rua in her care and would highly recommend her.”

“Hannah is so amazing with Angie! She gave Angie treasure hunts to keep her busy, a lovely walk and naps in the afternoon sun! Needless to say Angie was reluctant to leave 😅 we will definitely be using Hannah again!”

Cameron

“Victoria inspired confidence throughout, her communication is prompt and clear and she is obviously very experienced with dogs, even dogs like mine, who can be nervous without me. Bella came back home happy! I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Victoria. Our next visit is already booked.”

About: From a very young age, I have always had a huge love for animals and have grown up surrounded by pets. Dogs have always held a special place in my heart, and caring for them is something I am truly passionate about. I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy and caring to look after your dog, and I myself would find it difficult to trust anyone with my babies. I can assure you that every dog in my care will be treated with the same love, attention, and affection as my two Cockapoos Malibu & Cleo get. Their happiness, comfort, and safety will always be my top priority. Whether it’s walks, playing, cuddles, or simply keeping them company, I will make sure your dog feels loved and well cared for always whilst they are away from you. If you wish I will send you daily pupdates please just let me know! All dogs in my care will have free roam of my house and garden, I have a dog flap so they can use the garden at any time and happy for them to be on the furniture and our bed! I am currently available to look after your dog or dogs whenever suits you. I am available Monday-Sunday for boarding or doggy day care. I have a secure fenced garden🌳 and 2 friendly fur babies to keep yours company🐶🐶 There will be lots of playing, fuss and love given. I am happy to walk your dog/dogs aswell if you wish.

“Liga is caring and welcoming, she took the time to find out about my dog's needs and was very accommodating. The house is lovely with a large garden, so a great environment for dogs :)”
