Doggy Day Care Sherborne

“Thank you for looking after my beautiful husky. He seemed calm and happy so thumbs up from him... that's all that matters really, a happy dog. We will be back when next in that area... yep, I gave up the job this morning !!”

“Stanley had his first visit with Sarah today. I think he had the best time even though the weather was poor. Sarah gave him plenty of play time and affection and they are now firm friends. We are delighted to have found someone who is so good with animals and suited to our dog. Sarah is a lovely empathetic person and we hope that Stanley will visit her many times in the future.”

“Thank you for looking after my beautiful husky today, at such short notice. He seems chilled and calm. I will definitely contact you again when I need some help. Big hello to your lovely toddler….”

About: I raised my 5 year old cocker spaniel, who loves ditch-the-bowl training. I'm a freelance outdoor instructor offering stimulating, long winter walks with new scents to enrich happy dogs. My two dogs enjoy morning and evening walks. With the garden always open, I provide 1-2 long weekday walks and adventurous weekend outings away from Sherborne. My garden is fenced, so they cannot escape. My two dogs will keep your dog company who are both very friendly and are used to other dogs staying. If they were to travel in the van I have seat belt clips, clips and a crate in the rear. I have a crate if your dog needs it's own space in the house too (Rusty sleeps under the stairs and Indi can sleep in our bedroom, so your dog can either sleep in the kitchen or living room). If you needed me to stay at your house, then I don't have to bring my dogs as my partner also works from home. We love dogs! We don't have children so they get a lot of fuss. I tend to use kibble/treats on their first walk with a retractable lead, to get a sense of recall and connection with the dog.

“just a day stay with Allana for Bilbo today buy once again I felt completely comfortable leaving him in her care. He settled quickly and Allana sent reassuring photos, videos and messages throughout the day. She was kindly very flexible on pick up time which was a lot of pressure off us. Staying with Allana is a home from home for our dog and we couldn't be recommend anyone more.”

About: I’ve grown up and looked after dogs my whole life. All shapes and sizes. I am fortunate to have a large fenced garden and surround by nothing but fields. I like nothing better than to be out in the fresh air normally accompanied by my gorgeous Viszla. I am currently not working so am at home and free all day. I walk my dog twice a day for an hour at a time. I have an enclosed garden and a very friendly Viszla who is very sociable and on dry days spends most of it outside. Her choice.

“Izzy has been great with our young puppy Nelly. She’s been very flexible with us, and Nelly gets excited to see her every time! Thanks Izzy :)”

“Elissia was great with our 2 year old (slightly excitable) Australian Kelpie! Booked in a little last minute but had plenty of fast and quick communications. It's the first time we've left our dog with anyone other than friends or family and would be happy to use Elissia again for Doggy Day Care or Boarding. Enjoyed the photo updates from his stay Thanks again!”

Elliot S.

“We honestly couldn't have asked for anyone better than Cathy to look after Obi while we've been on holiday. Leaving your dog with someone else is always a bit nerve-wracking but Cathy made us feel completely at ease from the start. She clearly has a genuine love for dogs and it really showed in the way she cared for Obi. We loved receiving the updates and photos throughout the day and seeing how happy and relaxed he was meant we could properly enjoy our time out without worrying. Thank you so much, Cathy, for taking such wonderful care of our boy. It means more than you know and we'd book with you again in a heartbeat. We're so grateful to have found you 🥰”

About: DBS Checked | Fully Insured | Driving Licence | Own Vehicle | 5 Years Animal Rescue Volunteering | Right to Work in the UK I have been surrounded by animals since early childhood and have always cared for both dogs and cats. Throughout my life, I’ve lived with one, two, and sometimes even three dogs at the same time of different breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments, so I understand that every pet has their own personality and needs. I have completed basic dog training courses and spent 10 years volunteering at a dog and cat shelter, where I gained valuable experience caring for animals, supporting rescues, and helping with adoption processes. I am confident handling both small and large dogs and can comfortably walk multiple dogs at once in a safe and calm manner. I genuinely love spending time with animals — whether that’s going for long walks, playing, providing companionship, or simply making them feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I am patient, attentive, and reliable, and I always make sure pets receive plenty of care, affection, exercise, and attention. I understand how important trust is when leaving your pet with someone else, and I will always treat your pets as if they were my own. I would be delighted to help care for your furry family members. I am currently not working, which means I can fully dedicate my time and attention to caring for pets. I have a very flexible schedule and am available throughout the week, including weekends, for walks, drop-ins, daycare, or overnight care. Spending time with animals is something I genuinely enjoy, and I would love to make pet care my long-term profession. In the near future, I am planning to take professional canine behaviour and dog training courses to further improve my knowledge and skills as a future dog trainer. I always make sure pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and companionship, while following their usual routines to help them feel comfortable and secure. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness will always be my top priorities. I understand how important it is for owners to feel confident and relaxed when leaving their pets in someone else’s care, so I always provide a calm, caring, and reliable environment. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding, walking routines, medication, training, and any special requirements. I have experience with dogs of different sizes, breeds, ages, and temperaments, including energetic dogs, shy pets, and senior animals. During walks, I stay attentive and safety-conscious at all times, and I am comfortable handling multiple dogs when needed. I also make sure pets receive regular updates, photos, and communication so owners can feel reassured while they are away. I treat every animal with patience, kindness, and respect, as if they were my own.

“Aljona is such a lovely person! It was clear from the minute she met Kaiku that she knows how to handle dogs which gave me so much confidence. The updates throughout the day made it clear our pup had a great time. I would definitely recommend Aljona and will book with her again!!! ?”

Milla T.

“Always reliable! Buddy loves her, and she has introduced me to some new walks I was unaware of as I didn't grow in Salisbury. I would definitely recommend.”

Fiona M.

“Teddy's daycare with Fran was everything we could have asked for. She sent us pictures during the day and Teddy looks to have had a great time on a walk in the woods with other dogs. He seemed reluctant to say goodbye! Will definitely be using Fran again. Thank you!”

Alan S.

“As always, Gus had a blast, was well exercised and very happy after a day with Francisco and Brunty ! We have been using Francisco for Gus sitter for almost a year and will continue to do so”

“Rob looked after my dog extremely well, he and his family were incredible with my dog and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to others :) She actually didn’t want to leave!! Thank you Rob and Family!”

Emily S.

“I’ve just picked Blue up after a day with Quentin and family and he was clearly well looked after. I received updates and photos during the day and all went just as we hoped. Would definitely recommend”

Nick B.

“Melonie and her 2 dogs welcomed our energetic Springer into their home on one of the hottest days of the year. The dogs slept the heat off in her cool kitchen and she took them for a late walk when it was cooler. Our dog can be a bit challenging but Melonie had the measure of him so he came home happy and tired. Thanks again Melonie - thoroughly recommended!”

Alan T.

“Bugsy had a great day with Kelsey & Jack! They responded quickly, very trustworthy and our dog said only good things. Would happily book them again.”

About: I’ve always had dogs and cats at home, so caring for animals has been a big part of my life. I’ve also helped friends, family and neighbours by looking after their pets, from feeding and walks to overnight care. I’m especially comfortable with puppies and senior pets, understanding the extra patience and attention they need. I’m calm, reliable and will treat your pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, happy and well looked after. I currently work part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility to care for your pets. I’m available for walks, drop-ins and sitting during weekdays (especially afternoons) as well as weekends. I can be flexible where possible, so feel free to message to check specific times. I have a secure, fenced garden where dogs can safely play, along with two friendly dogs who are used to being around others. I can crate your dog if needed and will always follow your routine to keep things consistent. I provide a calm, safe and loving environment and will treat your pet like part of the family. I’m also happy to send regular updates and photos for peace of mind.
