Doggy Day Care in Ryedale

“Claire is very friendly and is obviously used to looking after dogs, having sadly lost her own last year. Our elderly cockapoo had a wonderful time enjoying two walks and a sit on Claire’s sofa! Highly recommend and intend to book again; thank you Claire!”

About: I work part time from home so plenty of attention during your pet’s stay with us. Both myself and my husband have grown up around dogs, we have also had two family dogs over the past 20 years or so, but sadly our last fur baby left us for Rainbow Bridge seven years ago, aged 14. We have hosted dogs belonging to family and friends, for day visits, overnight stays and special trips to the seaside. We only accept well behaved dogs and prior to booking we always have a meet and greet with yourselves and your dog, we're sure you would also like to meet us too. We would love to know the little quirks and character of your dog to ensure he/she has a happy and settled stay with us, so let us know any special requirements, no matter how small, which your dog would require for his/her happiness and well being. During your dog’s stay with us he/she will enjoy two daily walks along country fields close to our home, around 40 mins each, if your dog requires less of more please let us know. Once the weekend arrives we explore the wider area, with walks surrounding the town we call home. Our home has a secure and fenced garden accessible from the kitchen via patio doors which are open most of the day, weather permitting, for your dog to enjoy the garden. The kitchen is the heart of our home, so rest assured your dog will be part of the family during his/her stay. The room provides a cosy corner where your furbaby is able to snuggle in their bed if they feel the need to nap in between exploring new places, enjoying a new social life and playing with favourite toys. Within 5 minutes of our home we have open countryside for walks, a run a round or a game of fetch.

“Laura was fantastic from the initial engagement of booking to letting me bring the boys to see the environment before the actual day of the stay. The boys enjoyed every minute and I even got photos throughout their stay which comforted me immensely. I would highly recommend Laura and will definitely use Laura again.”

About: I have been a petsiitter, walker, companion for many years. I love all fur babies, recently looked after chickens too. I have a car, can work in York and surrounding areas. Will consider further afield but a minimum of one continous week. Always recommend a meetup before a booking for a cuppa and maybe a biscuit 😉 Recently retired. As i am an animal lover and experienced pet sitter for cats, dogs, chickens i can't think of a better way to spend my time. I cannot look after pets in my own home sadly. I can only offer pet sitting, Vet visits, Pop-ins for all fur babies, chickens, feeding, comforting, walking. Sadly I cannot look after reactive dogs because of past experience.

About: I have had pets all throughout my life. These include dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, chickens and horses. I have a small amount of training experience from our last dog who was a border collie and i used to take her to puppy training and agility courses. currently have Willow who is a German Shepherd who is extremely well behaved and loves absolutely every one. I also have five cats and 8 chickens. I am currently working from home so I am at home 24/7 with all our pets. When I was working Willow would go to doggy day care which she absolutely loves. Many walks are taken throughout the day and I love going to the forest an the beach. I have an enclosed back garden which is completely secure. I allow all pets on furniture and beds however if you are not happy with this I can accommodate to suit. All meals will be given as requested also to suit. I have a large car so can take out if you are comfortable with this (I do insist that all dogs are buckled in for safety) I live in the country so have plenty space to walk from home.

“Jaye and Jonny were lovely and welcoming, and from the pictures they sent, and Juno's attitude when we returned, we could tell she had the most wonderful time. We'd happily leave Juno in their care again.”

“Lydia and her husband were very friendly and replied to messages very quickly. Ziggy had a lovely day with them and went on a good walk this morning. Would recommend, many thanks!”

About: Animals and dogs, in particular, have always been a big part of my life, I grew up around them and cannot imagine my life without a dog or two by my side. "My puppy dog loved being with Helga and her dogs Meg and Ruby . Helga is oozing with love for dogs I am so pleased to have found her I feel so at ease leaving my dog with her" Since leaving work in the social sector four years ago due to ill health, I have made a career move and am studying at diploma level with the Centre of Excellence. So far, I have completed and passed with distinction Canine Behaviour, Puppy Training, Canine Nutrition, Canine Holistic Health and therapy, and am currently studying animal welfare. My goal is to specialise in Canine massage which can offer relief for a number of physical and behavioural related issues. I have some experience of raising puppies arising from Meg delivering two litters, with one puppy from each staying here with us. We live together in my bungalow which has a lovely spacious garden (currently undergoing development) set aside (mainly) for the dogs and offers ample opportunity for playing, frolicking and training with the use of a low impact agility course. If that doesn't suit, free play is always an option. Our surroundings provide plenty of safe country walks with very little traffic, or a short ride in the car takes us to local woods and other places of safe walking. Quiet time is between 2 pm and 4 pm: this can be in the garden, or inside. If it is raining, we have various indoor games to play and a comfy settee to relax or sleep on. So, whatever the needs of your pooch, you can be assured that if he or she comes to stay with us, they will receive the very best care available. Please note that drop off times for overnight stays are after 2.00pm and collection is before 10.00am Any time outside of this can be accommodated by arrangement and will incur an extra day care charge. Full payment to be made through the Rover payment system at the time of booking.

“Julie was absolutely wonderful looking after Harley. I was sent pictures throughout the day and couldn’t have chosen anyone better :) I felt very comfortable leaving Harley with her at her beautiful home. Would definitely recommend.”

About: I have extensive experience caring for a variety of animals, including dogs, cats, rabbits, and horses. I’ve grown up with pets and have also worked on farms and livery, giving me hands-on experience with both my own animals and others’. I love taking dogs on long walks, playing, and giving them lots of attention, and I’m equally comfortable relaxing at home with cats while keeping an eye on them. I’m enthusiastic, trustworthy, and genuinely care about each pet’s wellbeing. My experience with animals of all sizes and temperaments, from puppies to senior pets, allows me to provide reliable and compassionate care tailored to each individual. As a York St John university student, I have a flexible schedule and am free most of the time, allowing me to dedicate consistent care and attention to pets. I look after my own cat, Orbit, every day, and I’m passionate about giving animals love, exercise, and companionship while their owners are away. I provide pet care at the owner’s home, offering full attention to their pet’s needs. This includes regular walks, playtime, feeding, and any other care following the owner’s guidance to ensure each pet’s routine and wellbeing are maintained. I’m attentive, reliable, and always send updates and photos so owners can feel confident their pets are happy and cared for.

“Trudie and Flynn absolutely adore christianne, trudie didn’t want to come home. They are both worn out and very happy doggos. Was a last minute booking and that was not an issue, so grateful definitely will be booking again!”

About: My last dog was an energetic collie cross springer which was a rescue, he was highly intelligent and I did plenty of training to keep him busy and calm his nervous side. We have also kept rabbits and rats so I have a lot of experience with animals. We have a great garden that the dogs would have access to, we can work from home so there will always someone around. I and my husband can work from home and would be there to look after your dog, it would have regular garden breaks and any dog walks it needs, we have a couple of popular areas for dog walks nearby. Our teenager will be around at after school for extra doggy attention. Your dog would be the only pet in the house, and I would only take a dog or dogs from one household. We have a garden with 6ft fences so your dog would be free to roam safely. I would try and follow whatever routine you have to give to dog consistency and enjoy walking around the local area so look forward to getting out. I would welcome you round before longer stays so you can meet us and we can meet your dog,
