Doggy Day Care Salcombe

About: I have had dogs my whole life, having been brought up in the countryside with collies. My gorgeous labrador, Storm, is playful and very loving and comes first in every decision I make! I have always looked after my friends’ and family’s dogs and am proud of the trust they have in me for this. I work full time but fully remote, so I will always be at home to keep an eye on the doggos and have long walks at least twice a day, with toilet breaks whenever needed! I have a fully fenced garden for regular toilet breaks and perfect for dogs to lounge in good weather with lots of shade too. The house is very safe and I have plenty of dog beds dotted around for whichever space your dog best prefers!

About: I've been around dogs most of my life and have owned several dogs. My most recent dog, a Springer Spaniel, was with me for 13 years. Since he passed, I have looked after several of my friend's dogs. I am also registered with Guide Dogs as a Puppy Fosterer and have looked after lots of their dogs as well. I am retired so have lots of time to devote to your dog. I love going for long walks and exploring my local area. I also enjoy sea swimming. I have a fenced garden and 2 doors to my main front door offering extra security when I have visitors. I have plenty of space for a crate if needed.

“Vanessa was amazing with my two dogs! She was very friendly and made me feel completely comfortable leaving them in her care. Both dogs loved her straight away and came back from their walk happy and relaxed. I could tell she really cares about animals, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again. Highly recommend!”

“I would highly recommend Sara-Jayne. My puppy Mabel is always so happy and excited when she sees her. It gives me real peace of mind to know she is in such good and caring hands.”

“Scout had the best day staying with Sophie. She played all day with Spencer. Sophie is a fantastic host, reliable, efficient and nothing was too much trouble. I would highly recommend her. She sent brilliant photos and video of Scouts stay.”

“Our dog had a lovely time with Sarah, her son and her own dog. She took him out for a walk and he had play time and zoomies with her dog. He settled in well after we initially left, and looked like he made himself at home during his stay. We would happily use Sarah again :)”

“Jay has got such a lovely way with dogs. The last thing I saw as I left Rufus with Jay, was him sitting wagging his tail as Jay found him a fresh bone to chew! Very happy dog! And very chilled when I collected him later. Rufus is already booked in for two more visits. Thank you Jay ?”

“Millie has just come home from her first day with Mark. She clearly had a good day, and we will be booking her in again! Mark has a very nice way with dogs, and Millie seemed to take to him immediately. He kept us informed with photos and a video during the day, and we could see that Millie was in very good hands. Thanks Mark!”

About: I offer daycare and dog boarding for a small number of dogs, who will have me, my husband, and our own dog Rufus for company day and night. Rufus is an eight-year-old ''viszlador", a wire-haired viszla / lab cross. He gets on best with females, but he's also fine with males once properly introduced. We have no other pets. We take 2-3 daily walks on the footpaths, coastal paths and beaches of the area, and your dog will have access to our enclosed garden and plenty of toys. I work part-time from home, so I'm always around and am easily able to schedule in some play time and plenty of exercise. We have an enclosed garden and enclosed rear courtyard. Your dog will have access to their own spot in the house if he or she wants some quiet time away from any other dogs. We will agree in advance to any particular preferences you have, such as when (or if) it's OK to let your dog off the lead, sleeping arrangements, feeding schedule etc.

About: I am self-employed, which gives me a lot of flexibility with my availability and hours. I also have two animal-loving children who are at nursery and school during the day, allowing me plenty of time for feeding visits, companionship, playtime and check-ins 🐱💕 I understand how important it is for pet owners to know their cats are safe, comfortable and well cared for while they are away. I always make sure pets have a calm, clean and secure environment, follow routines carefully, and give them plenty of attention, reassurance and fuss. I am respectful of owners’ homes and will always keep communication open with updates and photos if requested 😊

“Buddy has his first week with Lee and he really enjoyed himself. Always very excited to go in and okay for me to leave him. When we pick buddy up and he goes home, he is shattered, sleeps all night. We would highly recommend Lee for doggy day care! He will be our regular dog sitter now as we feel very relaxed that Buddy is being looked after very well.”

“First time using Rover and Anindita made it so easy with quick responses and good communication. I felt completely at ease leaving our dog with her as soon as I met her. You can tell she genuinely loves dogs and is great with them. I will definitely use Anindita if I'm in the area again. Really happy and I think Hugo was too. Thankyou”

Angela W.

“A regular here. My boys are so comfortable around Alison now that Kai, my 'aloof Shiba Inu with attitude', let Alison rub his tummy for the first time today, and they weren't in a hurry to come home with me! 😆 Thank you, Alison. Till next time! X”

About: I have had big responsibility to look after many animals growing up. I am currently living away from home and I miss my animals, my dog (see profile picture) and I’m desperate to start involving myself around animals again. I have also done house sitting, mainly family members growing up, more of a good gesture but now I live away from home I have started to think of different ways to get out of the house. It’s more for me rather than money if I am honest. I find myself very responsible and trust worthy, I respect people and care for animals dearly. I wouldn’t say I have years of paid experience with looking after homes or animals but I have years worth of love for them. If you let me know in advance, I can sort your schedule around you. I am easy to your schedule as my shifts change so I can request different things as I work full time. I will chill with your dog. If you want me to keep them out then they will be out. If you want me to take them out I will. If you want me to crate them, I may do. Your call.

About: I have had animals since forever, I can’t imagine life without them. I have a lot of love, time and energy for any furry creature I meet! We live in a gorgeous village in the countryside and can offer your pets beautiful walks with lovely surroundings and cuddles by the fire in our cottage. My partner and I are home 24/7, as well as our malinois/husky Otto, who is desperate to make new friends! We take him to a large park near our house for at least 1hr a day, and often go to the beach, river or forest on the weekends for a long walk and of course a game of fetch! Our house is very dog/puppy safe with a good sized secure garden, furniture that is animal friendly and set up for cuddles. We have a car and easy access to local parks, rivers and lovely walks around the village.

“5 stars! Bridget and Nick along with their adorable pup Presley made Stanley's stay a great one. Stanley was immediately comfortable with them and their beautiful home, and the enclosed yard is a major bonus! I enjoyed the text updates and pictures they sent to me, but mostly the level of comfort I have leaving my precious buddy in someone else's care!”

“Ela is absolutely incredible with our pup, this was a last minute booking and she had no problem taking Oakley for the day for us. Oakley has fallen madly in love with Ela and enjoys every minute in her care.”

“Tim, was great. Communication was good and when we turned up we were welcomed by his lovely family who are very familiar with dogs. Harley settled well and we had no issues or concerns. Harley can be a bit of an energetic handful, but Tim was relaxed with her and took her our for a play in the local field, which she loved. Harley had a good time and we will defiantly be looking to use Tim again.”

“Tembo seemed very happy with Sophie on the farm and I think they had a great day together. Thanks Sophie!”

“We met victoria last week in the park with our Siberian husky last week and he then went to Victoria's for the first time yesterday. Victoria was so good with leo and sending us photos of there day together will definitely be using victoria again for our boisterous husky. Thank you so much Leo was shattered”
