Doggy Day Care Upminster

About: I’ve always had a love for dogs and plenty of hands-on experience caring for them. A few years ago, I spent a couple of years dog sitting, looking after dogs of different breeds, sizes, and personalities, which helped me build confidence and understanding in their individual needs. Alongside this, I’ve had family dogs for over 12 years, so caring for dogs has always been a big part of my everyday life. From feeding routines and walks to playtime, companionship, and understanding their behaviour, I’m experienced in providing a safe, loving, and reliable environment for every dog in my care. At Lisa’s Dog Care, I treat every dog as if they were my own, making sure they feel comfortable, happy, and truly at home. Lisa’s Dog Care is my full-time commitment, allowing me to provide dedicated, hands-on care throughout the entire day. My routine is fully centred around the dogs in my care, ensuring they receive constant attention, supervision, and companionship. Each day begins with morning routines including feeding, walks, and playtime, setting a calm and happy tone. Throughout the day, I am always present, providing one-to-one attention, regular exercise, and plenty of interaction, adapting to each dog’s individual needs and routine. Afternoons and evenings continue with walks, feeding, and relaxation time, making sure every dog feels comfortable and settled. For overnight stays, I am on hand at all times to ensure dogs feel safe, secure, and truly at home. As this is my full-time role, dogs are never left unattended, and their wellbeing, happiness, and safety are always my top priority. Your dog’s safety and wellbeing are my top priorities at Lisa’s Dog Care. I provide a secure, fully fenced garden where dogs can play, explore, and enjoy fresh air safely at all times. Inside, dogs are cared for in a calm, home-from-home setting where they can relax and feel comfortable. I carefully manage introductions and interactions to ensure all dogs get along happily. I also have my friendly Chow Chow, BooBooBear, who loves the company of other dogs and helps create a welcoming, social environment for your fur baby. Whether your dog enjoys playtime or prefers a quieter companion, I make sure every dog feels safe, settled, and cared for like part of the family.

“Angela is a FANTASTIC sitter, always communicating and being so loving with my dog.”

About: *** Day Care spaces available on Wednesday and Friday from 1st September - please contact me for further information £25 per day (up to 12 hours), either regular slots or just one off days *** I offer a home from home for your dogs stay. If your dog stays with me, I will follow your routines and feeding plans and give them a lovely holiday in a happy, safe and loving environment. They will have regular exercise and playtime. I always like to arrange a ‘meet and greet’ with your dog so that we can get to know each other and so that your dog can become familiar with my home. I have 2 fur babies of my own, a small and medium sized dogs who are friendly and love to have doggy friends come to stay. I am a dog lover, who has had dogs both as a child and as an adult, so has lots of experience. I look after small to medium sized dogs and I accept dogs of any age, young or senior and am based in Hornchurch, Essex. I am insured, DBS Checked and hold a Pet Sitting & Dog Walking Diploma I work from home, part time, doing Accounts so looking after the dogs just fits in with my day. I would not be leaving the dogs for any length of time. I have a fenced in garden which allows the dogs the space and freedom to play. I live close to the park and fields for walking the dogs (if owner allows).

“We honestly couldn’t be happier with the care Beau received. She was absolutely fantastic with her and it gave us complete peace of mind knowing she was in such safe, loving hands. Beau was clearly happy and well looked after. We’ll definitely be using her every week now – highly recommend! x”

“Luna spent the day with Diana and she had a fantastic stay. I picked Luna up happy she was well exercised and I was kept up to date with lots of pictures throughout the day and she made another furry friend. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for dog sitting.”

“I can't say enough great things about Sayo! He was incredibly accommodating on short notice and even agreed to look after Snoopy for a longer period. Snoopy is still a puppy and hadn't quite figured out how to navigate stairs, but Sayo taught him to go up and down with ease. During his stay, Snoopy made a wonderful friend in Cassie, who is so gentle and sweet. When I picked Snoopy up, he was still happily playing with her! Sayo kept me updated with pictures and videos throughout the day, which was really reassuring. He gave Snoopy so much attention and care. Snoopy had an absolutely fantastic day, and I couldn't be more grateful!”

“Excellent doggy daycare by Jayesh. He really looked after our Dutch and gave him all the exercise he needed. And brilliant communication throughout the day which helped reassure us. Will definitely rebook him again!”

About: We’ve recently moved to the area but don't have pets with us yet and miss their company! In our family home, we have three rescue cats (one three-legged) and two rescue rabbits. Between us we have previously owned dogs of various breeds, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, fish and hamsters We have a genuine love of animals and take great pride in making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy. Whether it’s playtime, walks, cuddles, or simply being a calm presence, we always treat pets as part of the family. With over 15 years’ experience, we regularly pet sit for family and through TrustedHousesitters, looking after cats and dogs in their owners’ homes (see reviews in photos). We’re confident handling nervous rescues and pets with health issues, experienced in administering medication, and passionate about giving animals a safe, trusted, and loving environment. Please drop us a message if you have any questions. Pet sitting fits perfectly with my flexible remote work, allowing me to care for pets during days, long weekends, or quick visits around my schedule. I prioritise safety, trust, comfort, wellbeing, and happiness. Prefer caring for pets in their owner’s home due to space, but happy to adapt if needed.

“Lucy was great with our 6 month old Vizsla puppy Scout. She kept us updated and returned to us with a very happy chilled out pup, we definitely recommend Lucy and we’ll for sure use her for day care again :)”

About: Dogs have been the heart of my home for nearly two decades. After 14 wonderful years with my beloved Staffy, Tyson, I welcomed Titan into my life three years ago. Titan is a friendly, neutered Staffy-mix who truly lives up to the "nanny dog" reputation. I know how hard it is to be away from your fur-baby. I provide regular updates and photos throughout the day so you can see exactly how much fun they are having. We can't wait to welcome your pup into our home! Safety & Supervision First As a stay-at-home mum, I am home throughout the day. My husband Gurpal works from home two days a week, this means your dog will rarely, if ever, be left alone. I have two children 3 and 5 years old who have grown up with dogs their whole life. Our Daily Routine Your dog won't just be "watched"—they will be part of the family. Our days are filled with: Active Play: Frequent garden games and mental stimulation. Daily Walks: Regular outings to stretch our legs and explore. Secure Environment: I have a large family home and a garden that is significantly larger than average—fully fenced and perfect for zoomies! Home Comforts: Whether it’s lounging in our spacious living area or sunbathing in the garden, I treat our guests exactly like our own.

About: I've grown up around dogs and they've always been a huge part of my life. We had a family dog throughout my childhood, and today I regularly care for my mum's three dogs whenever she's away, often for extended periods. This includes feeding, walking, playing, giving them lots of attention, and making sure they stick to their usual routines. I'm also the go-to dog walker for my aunties' dogs, Doris and Bolt, who I absolutely adore. Whether it's long walks, trips to the park, games of fetch or simply keeping them company, I genuinely love spending time with dogs and getting to know their individual personalities. I'd love a dog of my own, but with future travel plans, I've decided to wait until I can give one the lifelong commitment it deserves. In the meantime, Rover is the perfect way for me to spend time doing something I genuinely enjoy while giving other owners peace of mind that their dogs are in caring, responsible hands. I understand that every dog is different, so I'm happy to adapt to their routine, energy levels and any instructions you leave. Whether your dog loves adventures, long walks, cuddles on the sofa or simply needs someone patient and reliable, I'll make sure they're well cared for and treated like one of the family. I know how important it is to trust someone with a member of your family, so I'll always care for your dog as if they were my own. I'll also keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages so you can relax knowing they're having a great time. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine as I work from home full-time, which allows me to provide flexible, attentive care throughout the day. I can easily step away for regular walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and comfort breaks as needed. I usually take a lunchtime walk and spend most of my day at home, meaning pets are rarely left alone. I’m also available for overnight stays, drop-ins, and boarding, with evenings and weekends fully dedicated to care as well. Pets in my care are looked after in a calm, secure, and pet-friendly home environment. I live in a terrace house with a fully fenced garden, allowing safe outdoor access. Inside, I have non-carpeted floors for easy cleaning and sofa covers so pets are welcome to relax comfortably. I am comfortable with puppies and follow owner instructions closely, including routines and feeding. Pets are not left alone during bookings unless absolutely necessary, and never for more than around two hours unless agreed with the owner. I can support some medication needs depending on the type and instructions provided, always prioritising safety and trust.

“Caitlin did an amazing job looking after Molly. She made sure Molly felt comfortable and was well looked after. She always checked in with us to let us know how Molly was doing and we will definitely use Caitlin again for dog sitting!”

“Ive had a fantastic experience with Emily through Rover! From the very start, communication was clear and reassuring, and I felt completely confident leaving my dogs in their care. I received regular updates and photos which really put my mind at ease. My dogs came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well looked after. It’s obvious that Emily genuinely loves dogs and treats them as if they were their own. I’ll definitely be booking again — highly recommended!”

About: I am at home all day long, so your dog will be have plenty of cuddles and walks in the park. I had dogs as a child and a few years ago moved out of central London so I could have enough space for a dog and go on nice walks to the local park. Our dog Bella has been with us for four years now and improved our lives massively. I've attended training classes with her as a puppy and she is now our beloved family dog. I've also fostered three lovely rescue dogs from Russia while they waited to be permanently adopted and they got on well with our own. I work from home so I am able to watch and cuddle my dog (and yours?) all day. I go on walks to the local park at least once a day, usually in the evening when it is quieter. My back door has a dog flap with access to a fenced garden, so my dog can go out any time of the day for a wee and a sniff, though she sleeps on the sofa most of the day as she is a bit of a duchess. She will love having other dogs around.

“Katie has once again been a great sitter for my Milo! Everytime I pick him up I feel guilty because I know he’s had an amazing time! She kept to his schedule & actively engaged him into different things, even some activities that I hadn’t tried before (thanks for the tips!).”

Jessica U.

“Milos second time with Nicole & he had a really good time. Milo was well looked after and has seemed to have warmed up to Nicole and her family. Nicole kept to his routine and let me know how he was doing during the day.”

Jessica U.

“Thiv has taken very good care of Hazel. She took Hazel on walks, played ball with her and brought her to meet other doggo friends. Hazel was so happy to see her again, she sprinted into her flat without turning back to look at us. She loves Thiv so much, she follows Thiv around all day. I’d highly recommend her.”
