Doggy Day Care 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: I have looked after dogs for friends and family for many years. Dog sitting for a day up to 3 weeks. Walks from quick round the block jobs to muddy miles! I work shifts so am available during the day for walks and day care. I am looking to work from home more so will have the opportunity to offer lots of attention. I have access to a communal grassed area at the front of my house for regular toilet breaks. I have a dog of my own who is very friendly and loves company. I have space for a crate if required.

“Cat was really positive and caring. She made a warm and lovely place for our pup to stay and he really enjoyed it. She did everything we asked of her and at very short notice as well”

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!

“Valle stayed with Hayley for Day Care & he was very relaxed, happy & comfortable & well looked after. He’ll be staying again - thank you Hayley”

About: I have grown up with pets since the age of 4 such as hamsters, ducks, rabbits, parrots, cats and dogs. I have also been house sitting for various neighbours and take care of their dogs, cats and guinea pigs for the past 10 years. I am currently working freelance so have a very flexible schedule to fit around your needs and availability. I am not afraid of early mornings or late nights if that what it takes to make your pet safe and happy. While I am not able to host pets at my house, if I were to stay at yours, I would ensure that your pet was looked after without disruption to their routine and would be happy to get stuck into any chores.

“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!”

“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!)”

“Liga was so good with our Winnie. She is really attentive and professional. Without even asking, she sent us regular updates and pictures throughout the day. Her dog Marley was also really good with Winnie and she normally doesn't like big dogs. I reccomend Liga for your bookings, shes really friendly and welcoming! best sitter i've had yet”

About: Having grown up surrounded by dogs, cats and horses, I understand that they’re more than just pets; they’re cherished members of the family and bring so much joy and happiness. I understand the importance of quality care, compassion and providing a home-from-home experience for your dog. From Dalmatians to dachshunds, every dog is treated with love, kindness and care. I currently have a gorgeous red fox Labrador X vizsla called ‘Hera’, she’s incredibly friendly and loves nothing more than having a playmate for all of our adventures! I’m active and love nothing more than being outside exploring, and I’m fortunate enough to work from home, with a very flexible schedule (allowing for lots of walks and ‘garden zoomies!’ Your dogs comfort, routine and happiness is my top priority and I’m dedicated to accommodating their every requirement. I can’t wait to meet your lovely dogs x I’m fortunate enough to work remotely, from home and with a very flexible schedule, allowing for lots of adventures and garden zoomies! My dog, Hera, typically has 3 walks per day come rain or shine! I have a large, secure garden and live in a rural setting, with immediate access to countryside walks. If I’m walking a dog from your home, I’ll always research the local area to find the best walks and love nothing more than discovering new paths with a four-legged fur baby for company!

About: I have two lovely dogs of my own who love having friends dogs to stay. I house and dog sit regularly for friends in the area. My dogs have access to the garden at all times, which is secure and relaxing for them. Your dog(s) will be looked after as instructed, either with mine or apart from them, however best suits your dog(s).

I have two separate fenced garden areas. And a converted garage which is where my dogs sleep. Your dog will be able to go in there too, or sleep in my kitchen if they prefer.
