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 am incredibly passionate about dog welfare and nutrition and always strive to give them the best quality of life. 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!

“First visit and Marley was clearly happy when we collected him. Vanessa clearly has a good understanding of dogs and observant to his behaviour. More than happy to leave him with her in Jan.”

“Thanks so much for entertaining Charlie last-minute. He'll have enjoyed your company ... and your ball-throwing skills. He's looking forward to his next visits!”

“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.”

“I really think Winnie thinks of Doggy Day Care as a home away from home, she’s so happy to go and spend time with Mark, Donna and Harvey - thank you so much”

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.

“Ludo had a great time with Ela for two days doggy day care. Ela clearly loves dogs, I have no doubt Ludo was well cared for with nice treats, cuddles and walks. Ela was so flexible to accommodate our short notice request, she took the time to meet Ludo in advance of the booking, and communication was great. Thanks Ela!”

“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 :)”

“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.”

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 😊

“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 worked for multiple zoos across the UK including Paignton Zoo, ZSL Whipsnade Zoo, Noah’s Ark Zoo Farm, and for the best part of my career 10 years specialising in the care of elephants. I grew up with English Springer Spaniels as my family dogs regularly taking them on walks to the beach or Dartmoor and around twelve months ago rescued a cat all the way from Dubai. I have achieved full qualifications in animal care and animal management through my studies also completed several training courses. I have a very flexible job that enables me to work from home therefore I have plenty of free time to go on walks and focus on pet sitting. We live in Kingsteignton with a fully secure garden so outdoor access can always be provided and have plenty of nice walks on our doorstep perfect for dogs. We have no children and Janice the cat is our only pet however can easily be separated into her own area of the house. If you’re interested in my services or have any questions, feel free to message me for further details and I will be happy to help. I look forward to meeting you and your loyal companions! 🐾 I am a highly reliable genuine person who you can trust with your beloved pets whilst providing a professional friendly service. I’m always happy to meet you and your pets first before booking to make the process easier and will always provide updates weather that’s your dog out on a walk or your cat snoozing on the sofa! 🐶🐱

“Thanks for entertaining Charlie. I’m glad that he was able to join in for the online meeting! We’ll certainly look for some other dates (hopefully when not in a heat wave), as he’d love chasing his ball around Crapstone.”

Andrew W.

“From pre stay to during and post daycare Mark and Fee were amazing, putting my mind at rest, with great f communicatiin, offer of updates during the day and time to chat on pick up. Nelson was settled from the get go. Great facilities too”

“Thanks for looking after Charlie, the three-year-old Collie. He seemed very content and clearly settled well (I can only apologise for him shamefully lounging on his back with his nether-regions exposed!). He does like human company and is not so happy on his own. It was good to see him happy druing the day (and happy being dropped off the next day too).”

Andrew W.

“Fantastic! Bertie was excited to go back which is always a good sign. Had no concerns or worries about Bertie whilst he was in her care. Teri was very prompt in replying to any messages and send updates about Bertie day.”

Jessica N.

“Harrison looked after Cleo our whippet for the evening and she had a lovely time snuggled up on the sofa with them. Thank you for taking good care of her!”

Claire H.

“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!”

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.

“Layla had a wondeful time with Nicola and Jake who were absolutely excellent! Easy and clear communication from first contact, highly flexible with drop off and pick up times and gave Layla plenty of love, attention and exercise. She came back a happy and tired dog each day! Highly recommend and will certainly be our go to sitter from now on! 😁”
