Doggy Day Care 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.

About: Experienced, Loving Family Dog Sitters 🐾 Hello! We're a dog-loving family with a lifetime of experience caring for dogs. Between us, my partner and I have owned and looked after dogs for most of our lives, and caring for them is something we genuinely love. After regularly dog sitting for friends and family, we've decided to open our home to more dogs and their owners. We have two young children, aged 4 and 5, who absolutely adore dogs and have grown up around them. Because of this, the safety and comfort of both our children and any visiting dogs is extremely important to us. We only accept dogs that are comfortable, gentle, and trustworthy around young children, ensuring a safe and happy environment for everyone. One of the biggest benefits we can offer is that both of us work from home full-time. This means your dog will rarely be left alone and will receive plenty of attention, companionship, and care throughout the day. Whether your dog enjoys playtime, cuddles on the sofa, or simply having people around, we'll tailor our care to suit their individual personality and needs. We have a small front garden available for quick toilet breaks, and we're also just minutes away from large open fields, parks, and beautiful nature walks. Regular walks and exercise will be provided according to your dog's age, energy levels, and routine. We understand that leaving your dog with someone else can feel daunting, so we'll treat them as if they were our own—providing a safe, loving, and caring home while you're away. We look forward to meeting you and your four-legged family member! 🐶 Lots of love, attention, walks, and cuddles guaranteed. Pet care is a natural part of our daily routine. Both my partner and I work from home full-time, so we're able to provide constant supervision, regular toilet breaks, feeding, playtime, and plenty of companionship throughout the day. We regularly care for dogs belonging to friends and family, and we enjoy incorporating walks into our daily schedule. We live just minutes from large fields and nature walks, allowing us to provide exercise tailored to each dog's needs. As a family of dog lovers, spending time with and caring for dogs is something we genuinely enjoy, so any dogs staying with us become part of our everyday family life while they're in our care. We care for every dog as if they were our own and always aim to keep them as comfortable and settled as possible by following their usual routine. Before any stay, we'll discuss your dog's feeding schedule, exercise requirements, sleeping arrangements, medications, and any special needs to ensure continuity of care. In our home, dogs will have plenty of companionship throughout the day as both of us work from home full-time. They'll receive regular toilet breaks, walks tailored to their energy levels and needs, playtime, affection, and a safe, family environment. We have a small yard for quick toilet breaks and are just minutes away from large fields and nature walks for longer exercise sessions. We only accept dogs that are comfortable around young children, as we have two children aged 4 and 5 who have grown up around dogs and love interacting with them. If caring for a pet in the owner's home, we would follow all instructions provided, maintaining the dog's normal routine as closely as possible. This includes feeding, walks, playtime, administering medication if required, and ensuring they receive plenty of attention and care while their owners are away. Throughout any booking, we are happy to provide regular updates and photos for peace of mind, so owners can see that their pet is happy, safe, and well cared for.

“Tilly had the best day with Emily & Sunny! She has such a great outdoor space for the pups to play in. Sunny was really welcoming to Tilly (who can be a little bossy!) and they seemed happy playing together when I left. I will definitely be booking with Emily again as she took such good care of Tilly. Thank you!”

About: I have always had or lived with a dog since living at home with my parents through to having one which my children grew up with and have had three dogs since then up until March 2025. I love the outdoors and miss not having a doggy companion on my walks. I am very flexible with availability as I work from home on a part time basis . I am confident with dogs and happy to follow any ongoing training and routines that may be in place for your dog. I currently work from home on a part time basis with flexible hours Monday -Friday So can work pet care around my work to suit most needs . I have an enclosed fenced back garden for your dogs playing time and toileting needs I have a conservatory which looks onto the garden for your dogs bed / basket and resting time between play time and walks. Your dog would have access to all areas of the house apart from the bedrooms .

“Carol always looked after Tillie my previous elderly Staffie wonderfully so I knew Elsa was in good hands. She is a nervous elderly rescue Staffie and quite anxious in the outside world. It was her first visit and, as always, Carol was kind, understanding and patient with her - lots of love and attention and reassurance on her walks. I got lots of photos and Elsa settled well and had a lovely day. Many thanks to Carol for her special care!”

“Brilliant sitter. Jake and his girlfriend took great care of my boys and gave me updates throughout the day. It was a last minute booking as my friend cancelled on me, so I was very grateful when Jake came to the rescue. Thank you!”

“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!”

About: Hi!! I have 40 years experience with animals. I've had cats most of my life, for the last 5 years I’ve had fish, but the love of our lives was Hooch our Dogue De Bordeaux, who we had the pleasure of knowing for only a short 4 years, since then there has been a big hole in our hearts. We can’t bring ourselves to get another dog just yet, so we would love to share yours 🥰 I call into my friends on a weekly basis and check her babies, Stanley and Sidney who are Italian Greyhounds. I work casual hours at a school on an as-needed basis, so my schedule can be quite flexible and I’m often available during the daytime as well as after school. My availability varies depending on when I’m needed at school, but I keep my calendar updated and open so you can easily see when I’m free. During the school holidays I have even greater availability for doggy day care, walks and drop-in visits. Your pet will be treated as one of the family while in my care. We have a large, secure enclosed garden with plenty of space to play and relax, and pets are welcome to make themselves comfortable in our home, including on the furniture! I will always follow your usual feeding, walking and care routine and make sure I understand any individual needs beforehand. I’m very happy to arrange a meet-and-greet before their first visit so you and your pet can get to know me and feel completely comfortable.

About: I have had dogs my whole life and regularly dog sit for my friends and family. My parents have 3 dogs which I love dearly and I also regularly care for their horses, pigs, chickens and tortoise aswell as the dogs. This year I have 8 dogs that I have/due to dog sit for friends/family. Unfortunately due to our work schedules we can not have a dog of our own full time just yet, so the next best thing is to give all the other doggies attention! We are very active and love long scenic walks that we would love to do with the company of a dog! I am available to board all week which would be spent taking the dogs on long walks around the country side which we do most weekends on our own anyway! we live in a house with a secure garden as the back garden. We do not care for pets in owners homes. We will always take care of your pet like it is our own!

“Kanan is a lovely person. She was very quick at responding re availability and also offered a meet and greet session prior to the sit which I really appreciate. Buddy spent the day with Kanan and she sent me regular updates and pics throughout the day. Buddy settled in quickly with her and I would definitely recommend her and love for her to sit for Buddy. Thanks Kanan!”

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.

About: Me and my wife Katy are a dog-loving family with real, hands-on experience — not just with easy dogs. Our beagle Oscar (12) has been with us for 6 years. He's a committed food thief, so we're well used to keeping counters, bins, and pockets secure, and he's trained in sit, down, stand, leave it, recall, and roll over. Our husky Amber (4) has been with us for 3 years — she's an attention seeker, but that doesn't faze us; we know dogs like her just need someone happy to give them the engagement they're after. We usually walk our own dogs at lunchtime and after tea, but we're happy to adapt to whatever routine suits your dog best — whether that's their usual feeding times, walk schedule, or any specific habits they're used to. Both our own dogs are on specific food regimes, so we're used to weighing out meals precisely and giving supplements on schedule — it's something we look for in other carers too, so you can trust us to follow your instructions diligently, right down to the last gram. We also have a 6ft fenced garden for safe off-lead time. I'm currently between jobs, which means I have plenty of flexibility and availability during the week. Pet care fits easily into my day — whether it's a lunchtime walk, an evening routine, or being on hand throughout the day for feeding, play, and company. I'm not juggling a 9-5, so I can give your dog consistent attention and stick closely to whatever schedule they're used to. In my own home, dogs benefit from a secure 6ft fenced garden for safe off-lead time, a settled routine, and the same care I give my own two dogs — Oscar (12, beagle) and Amber (4, husky). My own dogs sleep in the kitchen overnight, but I'm happy to adapt sleeping arrangements to suit your dog's needs and what they're used to at home. I pay close attention to feeding, weighing out meals precisely and giving supplements on schedule if needed, and I'm happy to follow any specific instructions around diet, medication, or habits. For walks, I usually go out at lunchtime and after tea, but I'm flexible and happy to fit around what your dog is used to. In a pet owner's home, I follow the same principles — sticking to their normal routine, feeding schedule, and any training cues they respond to (like sit, down, leave it, or recall), so the visit feels as familiar and low-stress as possible for them.

“Oakley had a great day!”

“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.”

Juliet M.

“Amazing. Pictures and videos throughout the day.”

Blaine M.

“Our dog has such a lovely time with Amrita and her gorgeous dogs. It’s wonderful to know that she is happy and safe. Their house is gorgeous and they take really good care to make sure all of her needs are met.”

Charlotte T.

“Pearl is a great dog sitter. She has a true passion and love for dogs. My 6 year old pug had a nice time staying with Pearl and her puppy. She looked after him well and kept me posted with texts and pics throughout the day. Would recommend her to everyone who is looking for a good care for their furry baby.”

“Danielle looked after Shadow this week and did a great job. Would definitely recommend”

“Buse was absolutely fantastic with my little pooch hazel and friend teddy. When I came to pick them up they were so happy and excited, I just instantly knew they had a great day with Buse and Gala, thank you :)”
