Doggy Day Care in Wakefield

About: I've always had dogs in my life. I lost two elderly dogs last year and so badly miss having dogs . I dog sit for our friends dogs whenever possible, but would like to open our home to more. More cuddles, more walks, more mess and more craziness. If you have a dog who needs close attention and wants to feel secure, I can give that care. If your dog needs long walks, I would love that. Our two dogs became infirm when they were old. If you dog needs extra care as an elderly dog, I have the experience. I hold independent comprehensive dog-care insurance. I work part time from home. No routine as such, so I can fit around what your dog needs. Some days are quiet and other days include a long walk and play. We have a large, fenced, dog friendly garden which is completely secure. Your dog will have plenty of room, inside and out. Plus my bed to sleep on, if that is what they like.

“What a fantastic service! Coco had such a wonderful time with Ivans — she was happy, relaxed, and clearly loved every minute. It was such a relief to enjoy my day without any worries, knowing Coco was in great hands. I’ll definitely be booking with Ivans again and taking up the other services he provides. Thank you so much from both me and Coco! 💕🐶”

Excellent communications with Bryony throughout and I felt really comfortable leaving him in her care. Resident hound Rex is gorgeous and really helped my recently adopted rescue boy's confidence. Highly recommended.”

About: my name is jamie, I have my own dogs and cared for friends dogs it's something I love and get pleasure from seeing dogs happy makes me happy. i have a 3 year old springer spaniel and have grown up with dogs, walking and caring for them. This means I focus not only on care, but also on safety, calm handling, and understanding each dog’s individual needs. For your peace of mind, I am fully insured, including public liability and care, custody & control cover, so your dog is protected at all times while in my care. i have many years of hands-on experience with dogs overall, as dogs have been part of my family home for a long time. Growing up around dogs of different breeds and sizes has given me a natural understanding of canine behaviour, routines, and needs. My experience includes caring for dogs with different personalities — from energetic and playful to calm and more sensitive. I always adapt my approach to suit each dog individually. I prioritise: safe and attentive handling, reading canine body language, maintaining routines and boundaries, providing a calm, structured, and stress-free environment. give me a try :) i am a full time pet care giver, i am available any day of the week, no job is too small. hope to hear from you soon I have a fenced garden outside my house and friendly dog to keep your fur baby company I can easily crate yourr dog if needed...

About: Pets have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. My family has a lovable 11-year-old Labrador whom I helped train from puppyhood — from basic commands to good leash manners. We also shared 18 wonderful years with a gentle British Shorthair cat, so I understand the unique needs of both dogs and cats at every life stage. Whether it’s energetic playtime, patient training, or quiet cuddles, I treat every pet like my own. Your furry family member will get the same love, attention, and care I’ve given my own for decades. Because I work from home, your pet gets my full attention all day. I can easily fit in frequent potty breaks, play sessions, and walks, and I’m always around for company and cuddles. My flexible schedule means I can stick closely to your pet’s routine — whether that’s early morning walks, midday training, or late-night check-ins. Having pets around while I work makes my day better, and I love giving them the same care, patience, and companionship I’ve given my own over the years Whether your pet is staying at my place or I’m visiting yours, they’ll get the same love, attention, and comfort they’re used to. In my home, I make sure there’s plenty of space to play, cozy spots for naps, and a safe, calm environment. I stick to your pet’s routine for feeding, walks, and playtime so they feel secure and happy. When I care for pets in their own home, I keep things consistent — from their favorite walk routes to the way they like their food prepared. My goal is to make every visit or stay feel like home, so your furry friend stays relaxed, loved, and well-cared for.

“Jennifer was amazing! She took my dog out for a swim, which he absolutely loved, and spent lots of time playing with him. I really appreciated all the pictures and video she sent, they were wonderful to receive and showed how much fun he was having. I couldn't be happier with the care she provided especially since it was so last minute!”

“Big thank you to Isabella for looking after our Cocker Spaniel Po. She made him feel right at home, within minutes he was happy and settled right into her home. Isabella was very active with sending updates like taking him for walks and playing with him. I will definitely bring Po back to such an inviting and warm home!”

“Tasha has just come back from her first visit to Sarah. I can tell she has been very well looked after and had lots of attention because she is relaxed as if she has never been away. Sarah sent texts and messages which was very reassuring as you never know if your dog is going to settle to a new place. Can recommend Sarah will look after your pet very well.”

About: I’ve previously volunteered for dogs trust dog school for two years. I stopped once i adopted my own greyhound, keeping me busy for the last 5 years and more to come! I’ve house sat, let out and walked doggies for friends and family over the years. Love any opportunity to meet new furry friends! It’s mostly late mornings onwards on Saturdays, Sundays, and Monday evenings for walks or drop-ins. If your dog is calm and friendly, then I can be more flexible as they can join me with my dog or spend the afternoon with me. Cautious, and experienced with different breeds. I will always follow your instructions for care, socialising and recall (if they are well trained). If we hit it off 🐾 then there maybe the options for afternoons at my calm home, with a fully fenced small garden.

About: Hi! My name is Rachel, I am 28 years old and I am a MASSIVE animal lover (especially dogs!) I have grown up around dogs and other animals my whole life and I now have 2 little fur babies of my own! I grew up with 2 cocker spaniels and since moving out of my family home I now have 2 wire haired dachshunds, Roger & Betsy. Both of my dogs are extremely loving, playful and cheeky! They love to play with each other and other dogs. Roger is 2 years old and Betsy is 4 months so we are still going through the puppy training stage. Both of my dogs came to live with me from 8 weeks old and so I have plenty of experience with puppies and puppy training. Despite not living close to them anymore, I still regularly look after my family dogs when my parents are on holiday. Both of them are now elderly and have had their fair share of health problems over the years, this has given me experience of looking after older dogs and administering oral medication. Over the past few years I have looked after dogs of all different sizes and ages for family and friends and I have now decided to use my time wisely and do what I love – being around and caring for dogs! As I already have dogs, my house is full of toys and the cupboards are always full of a variety of dog treats which Roger & Betsy are happy to share. I live within close proximity to lots of walking routes, parks and fields so your pup will never be bored as we have lots of different walking options. I have my own car and as long as you are happy, I am happy to travel with the dogs in my car to visit other walking routes. Please note I do not have a cage in my car but I do have dog seatbelts. I walk my own dogs at least once a day, I am able to walk the dogs at the same time so they can have a good play together, or if you would prefer I can take your dog for a 1-1 walk with myself, just let me know what you would prefer. I encourage Meet & Greet’s beforehand as I want you and your pet to feel comfortable with me and this gives us an opportunity to ask and answer any questions. I also welcome you to view my house and dogs if this would make you more comfortable. Your dog’s welfare is my number one priority and I want all parties involved to feel as safe and comfortable as possible so if you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me. I mostly work from home, and due to the nature of my job I have a lot of free time during the week. This means I am available most days and at home throughout those days to give your dog all the attention they deserve. I have 2 dogs myself and therefore my life already revolves around playing, feeding, walking and cuddling so another dog will fit perfectly into our routine. When I look after a dog, my house is their house! I want the owner to feel comfortable and confident that their dog is safe in my house and I want your dog to feel like they are at home. I live in a 3-floor 3-bedroom house with an average sized garden so there is plenty of room to run around. The garden is completely fenced off and on warmer days I tend to keep the back door open so they can roam in the garden, with fresh water always available. Your dog will be treated how I treat my own dogs (spoilt!) this means that they are allowed to go on the furniture, however I will always respect the owner’s wishes and if you do not want this or have any other rules/preferences then I will do my best to follow these.

About: I have 4 years experience working with a wide range of animals from guinea pigs to tortoises. I have 1 year experience of specifically working with dogs within a grooming salon where I worked with a variety of breeds and sizes:) I have also had the experience of helping raise a litter of puppies from birth to 8 weeks! I am currently unemployed after finishing my final year of studies. So I have plenty of time during the week to spend time with dogs! I will create a safe and trusting environment with the owners pets by keeping in touch with the owner and being reliable. Also following the owners instructions!

“Steve was the perfect dog sitter, friendly and flexible. Otis had an amazing day with him involving lots of walks and playtime. He was a very happy puppy come home time. Would definitely recommend, thank you.”
