Doggy Day Care in South Ayrshire

About: Hi I’m new to Rover but have over 20 years experience of looking after my own and clients’ dogs. I will treat your dogs just like my own, ensuring they receive unique and appropriate care whilst they are with me. I appreciate all dogs are so different and will go the extra mile to make them feel safe in my home. Having had many dogs into old age, senior dogs are perhaps a speciality of mine. I am unphased by larger breeds as I currently have a Romanian shepherd dog aged 1. She is very friendly and loves the company of other dogs. I live 5 minutes walk from the beach at Greenan Shore and just a 5 minute drive to the two beautiful local parks. The safety of your pets is paramount, I will only walk off lead with your written permission. As I have a 10 year old son, I can only take pets who are completely safe with children. My son also knows not to over pet a dog and respect space having had a very tricky rescue dog of our own in the past for many years. I am fully insured by Cliverton Pet Insurance. I work mainly from home so your pets will not be left unattended for more than 3 hours. If you have specific requests I will discuss these fully with you. I have an enclosed, private fenced garden. There is also plenty of room in the house for your pet to roam around freely. I live in a quiet, safe neighbourhood.

“So happy we found Claire on Rover. She was so gentle and kind with Bea who can be a bit skittish, particularly in unfamiliar situations. Wouldn't hesitate to use her again though almost afraid to recommend her as we will always want her for ourselves 😄”

“Loki and Rolo the pup enjoyed their time with Jessica. Although it was a short booking, I would definitely book again knowing that the boys are being looked after thanks Jessica 🐾”

“Our dog Dudley was very happy with Ellie and Adrian and we will definitely use them again! Thank you”

“Skye had another marvellous day with Ching. What I truly appreciate is that Ching gives the doggies that she cares for her full attention, she's with them constantly interacting with them. Skye's confidence with other dogs has sky rocketed in Ching's care, without a doubt she is amazing.”

“Ollie had a great time with Rebecca, Slinky & Snoppy. Was looked after so well & our apprehension about leaving him with someone else completely disappeared after meeting Rebecca & seeing how well he was looked after! He’s looking forward to his next visit. Thank you.”

About: I’ve been surrounded by animal since I was 5. I love all animals probably better than people 😀, I love taking care of all a puppy and dog needs. I love spending time with them and make sure they always have fun along with a deserved time off to relax. I’m Working part-time, I am not available the weekends right now but I’m free midweek. I also have a 10 months lab which he is so friendly and full of energy puppy I always make sure I spend time with dogs, going for long adventures, includes normal walks (countryside or beach), playgrounds, feeding dogs accordingly to their diet, making sure they have plenty of space and all the attention & love that they deserve.

About: Having grown up on a farm, I'm lucky enough to have looked after animals of all shapes and sizes. In addition to my own lovely old Jack Russell I have a small holding which has approx 20 acres of deer fenced land where dogs can scamper about with out worry of getting out. I am dog first aid qualified, fully licenced and insured and here waiting for your dog to join us for their holiday while you enjoy yours! I work part time so only board dogs when I am off and free to give them plenty of walks and attention! When I'm home , I'm always out and about either walking my own dog or up at the fields tending to my other animals. I'm very flexible and easy going when it comes to caring for your dog. Furniture, beds, or crates...whatever they are used to they will get. All I ask in return is a house trained, fully vaccinated friendly dog who will be happy to share our space and get along with my very friendly old Jack Russell. Prior to overnight visits we do require a trial session, either a day or overnight stay to ensure your dog is going to be happy and settled with us.

“Heather was amazing! Lottie had a great time at daycare. Communication and updates were good, and Lottie was happy and enjoyed herself . Slept since she got home lol. Defo recommend.”

About: I have owned fur babies my whole life. They are family,like children.The best part of my life is when I am with them.They bring out the best in me I am a retired nurse ,so I am home everyday. I remain on the DBS register. I have an inclosed garden and I live near the country .Great place for long walks. I am not very tech savvy but can take pictures and video to send often.i have one fur baby called Arya,she is 6 years old. When I moved from the USA to Scotland she came as well. I follow pet owners instructions on how they want their pet looked after. Arya sleeps with me ,she gets up early with me on a morning. I let her out to potty,then she has her breakfast. After I have my breakfast we go for a walk. 45 minutes to an hour at least once a day She follows me around my home. She gets lots of cuddles and attention thru out the day. She has pet insurance and gets regular health check ups She is also crate trained.

About: I started as a child rescuing strays and have rescued many since, I am a stay at home mother to an eleven year old daughter. We have 2 labs at present our old girl (whisper 14yrs)and her grandaughter(princess 1yr old) I literally dedicate my life to my family and pets, I pet sit regularly for friends and family so thought this would be perfect for me. Especially as we live in a small village and have a large fenced in garden. I walk my dogs every day long walks up the woods or sometimes down the local beach, as my daughters at school all day. Its a non smoking household, and i love pampering my pooches both of which are well socialised and love other dogs. I dont work outwith the home, so most of my time is dedicated to looking after my home, family and my dogs. I have always took rescue dogs. Until recently that is. As whisper was an ex breeding bitch that we took in, in order to give her the later yrs she deserved. But when we realised what an amazing dog she was, aswel as her outstanding pedigree, i decided to buy 1 of her daughters "autumn" pups ( as i know these breeders very well. I bought her in order to start breeding since i am at home all the time now. And since i have a few friends that already breed, i have plenty of people to rely on for advice. But "princess is only a yr old so i dont intend to breed her for another yr anyway. Hence why i decided to try this out. It just feels like the ideal job for me. I have a large fenced in garden. My dog "princess " is a very high energy and sometimes overly friendly especially when she first meets anyone and even more so when meeting other dogs. However she is very clever and well behaved and absolutely loves the company of other dogs. As we always had more than 1 dog aswell as regular dogs who boarded with us. But our 2 older dogs passed away and due to an unfortunate incident with 1 of our regular dogs who was older and had an undiagnosed underlying issue took a turn for the worst while in my care, traumatised me to a point that I actually stopped and am only just getting back to it now. Dont get me wrong we managed to get him to the vet in time and he survived infact the vet said we actually saved his life by not hesitating and rushing him there at 4am but it was extremely hard so that's why I am only just getting back into it. As we really miss having all the dogs around but we're not ready to get ourselves another one yet. Princess is very well socialised andlovesthecompany of other dog's butis unnuetered as we intend on having a litter from her. So can'ttakeun unnueteredmales forobviousreasons, i also have all the necessary crates,leads etc etc in order to care for dogs of all shapes and sizes. I am also learning how to groom dogs and have most of the equipment so love to practice on my clients dogs if they don't mind. I am a stay at home mother to my 13yr yr old daughter who is also an avid dog lover and one day hopes to become a vet. My life is devoted to my family and my dogs and any dogs that board with us are treated and classed as family. I walk my dogs every day,usually at least twice a day and having patio doors that lead straight out into my garden is ideal, as i tend to leave it open for the dogs to come in n out as they please. And no matter what i am doing, i am able to keep an eye on them at all timesandwe also have a 6foot fence all roundthe garden so it's very secure., The village i live in is surrounded by fields and wooded areas so i can allow my dogs to safely run and play off lead too,aswell as being very close to the beach where I often walk my dogs however i never take risks lettimg other people's dogs off lead unless its in a safe and secure place and I have cleared it with the dogs owner, and i do have long extending leads too. So no matter how well your dog is or isnt off lead they will still be able to join in the long leisurely walks and all the fun that entails.

“David was great with my dog. Has a great set up for dogs to roam in garden and explore. My dog is a bit timid but didn’t take long for her to warm up to David and his wee dog and came home happy and relaxed. Will be back!”

About: With over 30 years of hands-on pet care experience, I provide a safe, loving, and attentive environment for animals of all kinds. My background includes caring for a wide range of pets—from dogs and cats to parrots and geckos—as well as experience rooted in a family farming environment, which has deepened my understanding of animal behavior and welfare. I am confident handling large dog breeds such as Great Danes, Rottweilers, and Bullmastiffs, and I ensure every pet in my care receives not only proper supervision but also plenty of affection, attention, and comfort. I also have extensive experience with cats of all breeds and temperaments, including Sphynx, Ragdolls, and Maine Coons. Each cat is treated with patience, kindness, and respect for their unique personality. Your pet’s wellbeing is my top priority, and you can trust they will be cared for as if they were my own. I’m part time working mum and fit my visits / walks in around the school run, I’m happy to be flexible with dates and times with notice. My home has a large fenced garden, and live close to parks and countryside walks, I will treat your home with respect and your pets like my own, I can offer solo walks or group walks and I’m happy to care for multiple pets.

“Abi is so lovely! Scout is blind in one eye, so takes a little more care and patience to look after, Abi was amazing start to finish.. fantastic communication, really welcoming and caring of Scout’s needs. He had a fantastic day with her and I’d highly recommend her to anyone.”

“Louise took such good care of our Vizsla Whisky, who really loved hanging out with Arlo! He was happy and relaxed to stay with Louise for the day, in fact after two minutes he looked like he’d moved in. Louise obviously loves dogs and is ann experienced owner and dog sitter and this showed in her care of Whisky! Thankyou Louise, we hope to see you again.”

About: Dog walking is my happy place. With an enclosed garden, detached house and a safe car- I’m very excited to be on Rover to further my dog & cat sitting experience. I’ve grown up being a dog owner, from puppies to senior rescues with additional needs. I’ve also had a few cats so I’m very comfortable when I’m around animals. In addition to providing extensive care, I enjoy taking the time to continue and maintain training. From puppies & kittens to more senior pets, I am delighted to care for them all. I understand some animals can feel anxious in an unfamiliar environment- for that reason I sleep downstairs in the living room with the animals to provide a bit of additional comfort and support during the night. Happy to provide as many photos & videos as the owner would like for their own peace of mind. I work part time and I often am off weekends, so when I’m marked available for pet sitting you can be assured that I will be home 90% of the time if not 100% of the time. I do not pet sit if I am working that day or the following day; so the animals have my full attention. In my home, animals are allowed to be in a crate if it is what the owner wishes for their own comfort but I prefer that they are allowed to follow me from room to room to explore. I sleep downstairs with animals so that they feel safe. Happy to provide specific nutrition and medication (not injections). I am happy to have 2 dogs or 2 cats from the same household, but I do not mix animals from different households. Cats would be kept indoors at all times. Dogs are encouraged to play in my enclosed garden under my supervision, in addition to going on lovely walks. Happy to take dogs in my car to local beaches and parks for walking.

About: I grew up with cats and dogs, and have had cats and dogs as an adult, including elderly and those with health issues. I am happy to tailor my care to your pet's routines. I am on unpaid leave from the Civil Service, writing and studying. I am home-based. I don't have any pets living with me at the moment, therefore I can adjust my routines to suit your pet's needs. I live in a bungalow in a quiet street, with countryside out the back. I have a fenced garden. I can walk dogs up to 3 times per day. I can let outdoor cats come and go as they wish.

About: My wee hoose will be a holiday for your furry friend. Rest at ease; as long as your doggo gets on with my male black lab Knox, they will return to you relaxed and happy. I've had dogs and cats my whole life; just check out my reviews 😉. Your pup deserves VIP treatment 🥰🐶 I work 2-3 days from home which can be flexible. My two children aged 7 and 10 are here part of the week. They would (obviously) never be left unsupervised with any animal and are only here in the morning and evening and some of the weekend. I have a fenced back garden and park area nearby for dog walking. I mostly board dogs in my home but can sometimes provide other services. Get in touch to know more.
