Doggy Day Care Thurlby

“Evie was a huge help in providing fairly last minute daycare for our puppy and were really understanding when we ran late for pick ups. I always worry about leaving our puppy with anyone as they can be hard work to look after, but Evie and her partner were great with him and we received regular updates on how he was getting on. He was happy every time he came home and we would not hesitate to contact Evie again whenever we are in need of puppy care!”

About: I have over 8 years of experience caring for dogs and cats, including working in a home boarding environment. I now offer drop-in visits and dog walking, providing reliable, calm and attentive care for pets in their own home or on their regular walks. I have experience with rescue dogs, young puppies, and more nervous or reactive animals, and I always adapt my approach to suit each pet’s needs. I’m trusted by friends, family, and clients to feed, walk, check in, and spend quality time with their pets, making sure they feel safe, settled, and well cared for while their owners are away. I understand how important consistency is for both cats and dogs, so I aim to keep timings regular to help them feel settled and comfortable while you’re away. When caring for pets in your home, I take a calm, respectful, and reliable approach to make sure they feel safe and comfortable in their own environment. I carefully follow all instructions, including feeding, walking, medication if needed, and maintaining routines. I have experience with both confident and more nervous or reactive animals, and I always adapt my approach to suit each pet. I ensure your home is left secure after every visit, giving you peace of mind while you’re away.

“Ingrid has been wonderful with Rua. Rua took to her and her husband straight away and loves spending time with them. They have been taking Rua on walks and looking after her for day boarding, and she always comes home happy and tired from all the fun. Ingrid is friendly, reliable, and easy to communicate with. We feel completely comfortable leaving Rua in her care and would highly recommend her.”

About: Having grown up surrounded by dogs, cats and horses, I understand that they’re more than just pets; they’re cherished members of the family and bring so much joy and happiness. I understand the importance of quality care, compassion and providing a home-from-home experience for your dog. From Dalmatians to dachshunds, every dog is treated with love, kindness and care. I currently have a gorgeous red fox Labrador X vizsla called ‘Hera’, she’s incredibly friendly and loves nothing more than having a playmate for all of our adventures! I’m active and love nothing more than being outside exploring, and I’m fortunate enough to work from home, with a very flexible schedule (allowing for lots of walks and ‘garden zoomies!’ Your dogs comfort, routine and happiness is my top priority and I’m dedicated to accommodating their every requirement. I can’t wait to meet your lovely dogs x I’m fortunate enough to work remotely, from home and with a very flexible schedule, allowing for lots of adventures and garden zoomies! My dog, Hera, typically has 3 walks per day come rain or shine! I have a large, secure garden and live in a rural setting, with immediate access to countryside walks. If I’m walking a dog from your home, I’ll always research the local area to find the best walks and love nothing more than discovering new paths with a four-legged fur baby for company!

“Cat was really positive and caring. She made a warm and lovely place for our pup to stay and he really enjoyed it. She did everything we asked of her and at very short notice as well”

“Reka enjoys her time at Louise’s and always has a great time :)”

“Millie very kindly helped me out at short notice to have Tilly. The moment I arrived on the drive Tilly was so excited and happy to see Millie. Tilly clearly loves spending time with Millie which is reassuring for me. Thank you once again Millie 🙏x🐾x”

About: I’ve struggled myself to find the right home to look after my precious boys. I offer a home from home setting where your dog(s) will receive lots of cuddles and lots of playtime. We have two male cockapoos, one of which is of senior age. We have previously had Great Danes (gorgeous breed) and have grown up round a variety of breeds. We have two children age 10 and 13 who have grown up around animals and absolutely love dogs and if your dog wants to run around with smaller humans they’re all for it. I work from home part time so I’m available for cuddles on the sofa and they can play freely with open access to the enclosed garden. We will accommodate so that everything is familiar to what they are used to for example sleeping in the kitchen, sleeping in a bedroom, being on furniture and so forth. We have a Vets locally who our dogs are registered with and plenty of green areas for dogs to have good walks. Any questions please feel free to ask. I know they are your babies and we will take great care of them. I work from home part time and I’m kept company by my two cockerpoos; one who is old and quite happily chills and the other who is seven and can always be encouraged to play. We have a secure enclosed garden where they will have access to play freely. We have lots of walks and greenery close by so they don’t have to do the same route all the time and can adapt the walks we take to your dogs needs.

“Rushie really enjoyed the day and slept all evening”

“Many thanks Tom and your lovely family, for taking good care of Daisy yesterday. Our labradoodle is 11 now and it’s the 1st occasion we have left her with Tom. He sent through some lovely photos of Daisy with the children, which was very reassuring and gave us the confidence to know that she had settled in and will be fine when we leave her again. Hopefully next time the weather will be less soggy for your walks !”

About: I’ve had experience with a variety of dogs throughout childhood, but have raised labradors from puppies in my adult life. Whilst having the opportunity to be at home through the week, the biggest thing I can offer you is my time and dedication; I love all breeds and no requirement is too small. Please feel free to get in touch, even if just for a chat! My long term plans involve completing my studies to become a mental health practitioner, so I have a lot of home availability and wanted to fill my time with something that I’m really passionate about. I have a fenced garden, security cameras and a friendly Labrador to keep your dog company and entertained! I’m always attentive to making sure Toby is fed, has access to water bowls, and acknowledging communication and signals for their biological needs and play schedules! Very happy to do a meet and greet to see how you, and perhaps most importantly, your dog feels in our environment!

“I had a great experience with Carla and Jim! I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable and caring pet care. From the start, they were incredibly friendly and approachable, which immediately put me at ease. They arranged a meet and greet beforehand, which was a really thoughtful touch and helped both me and my dog feel comfortable before the stay as it was my first time using Rover. During the time they were looking after my dog, they provided regular updates and photos, which was so reassuring and showed how well my dog was being cared for. It was clear that my dog was happy, relaxed, and getting plenty of attention. I really appreciated the level of care and communication throughout. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Carla and Jim again and would definitely recommend them to other dog owners looking for someone trustworthy and kind to look after their pet! Thank you!”

About: Hi! I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life, and being around them is just part of my everyday routine. At home we have two very friendly Eastern European Shepherds, so I’m very used to living with large breeds and helping with feeding, brushing, playtime, and keeping dogs calm and happy. My parents have lots of experience with dogs, and my dad is an IMDT‑qualified puppy instructor, so I’ve learned a lot from being involved in training sessions and understanding different dog personalities. It’s taught me how to stay confident, gentle, and patient with all kinds of dogs. I’m currently home from uni, which means I have plenty of time to devote to looking after dogs like walking, drop‑ins, or giving them a safe, comfy area in our 3 storey house, away from the shepherds if needed. There are also lovely woodland paths and fields close to our home, so dogs get plenty of chances for fun walks. If you’re looking for someone who’s grown up in a dog‑experienced home, is confident with small and large breeds, with lots of time to give your dog attention and care, I’d love to help! I'm currently at home from university, so I am free any day of the week to look after your dogs and available for boarding/walking any time! We have a fenced garden and a very dog friendly household where your dog will be treated like a member of the family. There are lovely walks nearby and your fur baby will get lots of attention and plenty of cuddles while they're here!

“Scott was great at looking after Bonnie, we received regular updates, photos and videos. Bonnie made some other puppy friends while she was there and seemed to have a great time!”

Scott R.

“Took my very excitable Lab to Eszter for day care and she was absolutely brilliant! I felt confident that my dog would be cared for and have a great time. Eszter sent pictures and updates throughout both days my dog was with her which I loved. Eszter and her dog Ivy are lovely and my dog had the best time with them! I highly recommend!”

Abigail C.

“We had a fantastic experience with Brett when he looked after our puppy, Izzy. Brett made sure she got lots of time outside, and really helped with her socialisation by introducing her to another dog in a calm and positive way. Izzy had a great day and was clearly well cared for.”

“Dainora has been a wonderful sitter for Evie, great communication and most of all amazing care. Thank you”

About: Myself and my husband are experienced dog owners, and have been around dogs our whole lives. We are happy to consider any dog breed and can handle large or small dogs. We had an Alaskan Malamute weighing 48kgs in her prime, sadly we lost her in August at 14 years old, so no trouble handling big and stubborn breeds! We do have a 14 year old cockerpoo called Alfie who is very tolerant and misses his companion - therefore dogs coming to us must be okay with other dogs. He is neutered. We have a loving family home with husband and wife team and grown up children who are always happy to play with dogs walk, entertain, exercise etc (children are 16, 19, 22 and are dog lovers like us!) We have a large enclosed garden for dogs to roam around in and are a cat free home. Boarding and doggy day care welcome, we often go to the seaside too, so if you pooch likes the beach they'd be welcome to come with us if they can travel in the car okay. Happy to answer any questions, or set up a meet and greet with your furbaby. I work part time 3 days a week and my husband works from home full time, so there is always someone around to keep you dog company and give them the love and care they need. Evenings and weekends we have 3 grown up children that are dog lovers like us, and are more than happy to help keep your dog entertained (children are 22, 19, 16 so not little kids). We have a large secure fenced garden for dogs to roam around in as they please. There is always someone at home. We have a 14 year old cockerpoo who misses his companion who we lost this year. He is a gentlemen. Happy to crate if needed, though we do not have a crate at the moment so this will need to be provided.

About: I have owned and looked after dogs for the past 25 years. I have a first class honours degree in psychology where animal behaviour was in each semester. I have a pet first aid and CPR NVQ certificate and I am fully insured. My home is very spacious and I am home all day everyday. SHDC licence - AWL00122 I work very flexibly from home. Thus, I can be there with your dog 24/7 if needed. I love walking my dog on nearby fields (I keep on a leash but have a loose 10m lead). Snuggles on the sofa in the evening and on hot summer days, the doggy pool and hose pipe come out for play time (or your pet can chill inside). I will treat your pet as my own. I have always been a god lover. We have 3 toy baskets and lots of places for quiet time if needed.
