Doggy Day Care in Teignbridge

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 most recently 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! 🐶🐱

“Ernie’s waggy tail on arriving at Jacqui & Ralph’s home showed that he knew that he was going to have a fun day playing with their dogs. The videos and pics that Jacqui sent me during the day showed that Ernie did have a great play day 🐶”

“I cannot recommend Mia enough! Frankie being a very active 1 year old Lab clearly enjoyed her time and was well looked after. I received so many photos that put me at ease, Frankie will definitely be back to play with Harley as she now has a new lifelong friend.”

“Mark has been an absolute life saver. He looks after our boy Buddy like he was his own dog. He has also been helping us with our training as Buddy does pull on the lead. Thank you so much Mark for all your help and we hope to see you very soon.”

“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!”

About: We absolutely love experiencing and exploring new places with our doggies (as you'll see from the photos). I grew up surrounded by dogs and cats, and my first career was in veterinary nursing, which I practised for five years before welcoming my daughter into the world. Although that was some time ago, my background has given me invaluable experience in animal care, including administering medication, recognising changes in behaviour, and ensuring pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I now work in a school, which gives me plenty of availability during school holidays. My husband works from home, so there is usually someone around to provide company, supervision, and plenty of attention throughout the day. Our home is shared with our two friendly and mischievous Mini Goldendoodles, Philip and Wilbur, and our cat, Pumpkin. We offer a warm family environment with a secure walled garden, patio area, and spacious reception rooms with plenty of room for play, relaxation, and the occasional zoomies. We also have two animal-loving children (aged 8 and 11) who enjoy helping to give visiting pets lots of affection and attention. Every dog is different, so walks and activities can be tailored to suit their age, energy level, ability, and individual needs. Whether your pet enjoys long adventures, gentle strolls, playtime, or simply a cosy place to relax, we will do our best to make them feel happy, comfortable, and part of the family while they are with us. I work part-time in a school, which means I have plenty of time available for walks, playtime, and companionship throughout the week and during school holidays. My husband works from home full-time, so there is usually someone around to provide supervision, attention, and plenty of fuss throughout the day. We are fortunate to have access to beautiful local beaches, woodland walks, and open fields, allowing us to tailor each walk to suit your dog's age, energy level, and individual needs. Most dogs can enjoy two walks per day, typically ranging from 40 minutes to an hour, alongside garden time, enrichment, and plenty of cuddles at home. Every dog is different, so their routine can be adapted to ensure they are comfortable, happy, and getting the right amount of exercise and stimulation. Whether your pup enjoys energetic adventures or gentle strolls, we'll make sure they feel right at home with us. On the weekend we love exploring and going for days out as a family, furries and all! We have a fairly big house with lots of space for relaxing, play and zoomies, accompanied by decent sized, grassy garden and patio area. We have plenty of room for your dog to be crated if desired. Our dogs are all friendly and your pet would be treated like one of the family.

About: We are a family of 4. We have 2 young children and we all love animals, especially dogs. I grew up with a jack russel & a yorkie when i was younger. We then rescued a dog who was half german shepherd/ half huskie. My children are ages 2 and 4 and would love to have a pet dog in the house so i think dog sitting would be great for us as a family. We are always outside and going on walks and would be great to have a dog along side us. My partner also grew up with dogs his whole life. He recently lost his family dog who was a jack russell named eddie. We love going to haldon forest, teinmouth, stover & decoy during the week. I am currently not working so i have lots of time to play and walk your dog. I love being outdoors, going to the beach or to the moors. I am happy for your dog to sit with me on my sofa for cuddles. My children love dogs so your dog would need to be ok with small children I have a fenced garden so they cannot escape. They will have free rein being indoors in the house or in the garden. My back door is always open for them to explore freely.

“From the minute we arrived Aneta J was awesome. She fussed over Deano, showed me round and completely put me at ease about leaving Deano in her very capable hands. On pick up Deano was happy and clearly had a good time during the day as he was fast asleep on the car journey home.”

About: Ive always had an affinity with animals. I had cats growing up and have been a dog owner for the last 7 years. Before then i used to walk dogs in my local area. Very affectionate towards animals and will give them what they need whether that is walks, cuddles or a quiet place to relax. We have an enclosed garden where animals can safely play. I work from home and am my own boss so I have plenty of time to look after and play with your dog. I have my own medium sized dog who gets on with all dogs and is happy and calm. I have a fully enclosed garden and space to play, sniff and explore. The dogs can come in and out as they please and there are places to chill and relax. Dogs are welcome on the sofa.

“Weston had an absolute blast and was sad to leave. Communication before, throughout and after his stay was excellent, which was really appreciated. I particularly loved his Tiktok debut 🤣 You could really tell that Weston was well cared for and loved and I would highly recommend.”

“Jeanette is a dream sitter for both dogs and humans. She took care of my older girl, who has mobility issues and a few other quirks, two days in a row. She gave her the absolute BEST time! With tons of toys and a comfy, safe place to rest, she was happy in Jeanette's home. But Jeanette also took her on lovely walks (including the stroller that I brought) and showed her an amazing time outside. Plus, I received great photos and perfect updates. I was so happy and relieved to have my girl in such great care. 🖤”
