Doggy Day Care Waverley

“Terence is evidently a professional, experienced dog handler and I had every confidence that he would care for our busy Parson Jack Russell for the day last week. He kindly accepted my booking at very short notice which was particularly appreciated. Rural location. Would highly recommend.”

About: Hello! I’m a passionate dog lover who understands just how much our pets mean to us. Last year I sadly lost my beloved Cane Corso, who was a huge part of our family. While I’m not quite ready to welcome another dog permanently just yet, I would love the opportunity to care for and spend time with other dogs until the time feels right to rescue again.
I have experience caring for large breeds as well as dogs with different personalities and needs. I know how important it is to leave your dog with someone who will treat them as if they were their own, and that’s exactly the level of care and attention I provide.
I live in a loving family home with my 2-year-old son, who has grown up around dogs and is extremely dog-savvy, gentle, and respectful of animals. For everyone’s safety and comfort, I do ask that any dogs staying with us have had some previous positive interaction with children and are comfortable being around them. We enjoy long dog walks in the woods on a weekend together. I am happy to follow your dog’s usual routine, whether that involves long walks, playtime, cuddles on the sofa, medication, or simply lots of companionship. I understand that every dog is different and will always take the time to learn about their individual needs and preferences.
For the health and wellbeing of all pets in my care, I only accept vaccinated dogs. I am also happy to provide regular updates and photos throughout your dog’s stay so you can relax knowing they are safe, happy, and well looked after.
I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! I am a stay-at-home mum, which means I am home for the majority of the day and can provide plenty of company, supervision, and attention to the dogs in my care. Most of our days are spent at home or in the garden, giving dogs lots of opportunities to play, relax, and be part of family life. My son and I attend a class on Monday mornings and another on Saturday mornings, but we are rarely away from home for more than an hour at a time. Outside of that, we spend most of our time at home. If we do pop out for a coffee, walk, or family outing, I am happy to bring dogs along where appropriate and if they enjoy being out and about. This means your dog will receive lots of companionship throughout the day and will never be left alone for extended periods. I provide a safe, loving family environment where dogs are treated as part of the family. Our home has a secure enclosed garden, and dogs will have access to plenty of supervised playtime, exercise, rest, and affection throughout the day. Having previously owned a Cane Corso, I am experienced with large breeds and understand the importance of routine, consistency, and positive handling. Following the loss of my beloved dog, I have chosen to open my home to other dogs while I take time before rescuing again. I have a gentle and dog-savvy 2-year-old son who has grown up around dogs and understands how to interact with them respectfully. For this reason, I ask that dogs staying with us have had some previous positive experience with children and are comfortable in a family home environment. I only accept vaccinated dogs and will always follow owners’ instructions regarding feeding, exercise, medication, sleeping arrangements, and any special requirements. I am also happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can enjoy peace of mind while your dog is in my care.

“I left Meggy with Rosanna for 6 hours' day care on 2.2.24 at short notice. She was very accommodating and I felt Megs settled in almost immediately. She had an hour's walk at lunch down towards the park/woodland and playtime during the day. A quiet, calm household with a small rear garden all of which suited our Jack Russell well at that time. Without hesitation, I would certainly use Rosanna again.”

About: Hi, I’m Marta, I grew up caring for my parents’ Labrador, taking responsibility for feeding, walking, playing and basic training. Now, with Piper, I’ve gained full hands‑on experience in puppy training, building trust, managing routines and supporting an anxious dog with consistency and affection. My home is on a quiet road with an enclosed garden and plenty of safe walking options nearby. Although I originally planned a “no sofa” rule, Piper has happily convinced me otherwise — dogs are welcome to relax and feel at home. I’m affectionate, outdoorsy and genuinely love seeing dogs enjoy themselves. I want to become a sitter to help other owners, enjoy more cuddles, and give Piper the chance to socialise and have fun with new dog friends. I work from home on certain days, and those are the days when I’m available to care for dogs. My office days change week by week, so having an idea of your needs in advance really helps — it allows me to see whether I can flex my schedule to accommodate you. On my WFH days, I follow a calm and structured routine: morning toilet break, breakfast, and then quiet rest time until lunchtime. At midday we go for a walk, and once my workday finishes, we head out again for a second walk. I vary pace, routes and sniffing time so no two walks are ever the same. I’m flexible around my home‑working days and happy to accommodate bookings when I’m available. I I never put dogs in situations where they could be unsafe. My home has a fully enclosed, fenced garden where dogs can explore securely, and I always supervise outdoor time. On walks, I choose safe routes and adjust pace depending on each dog’s comfort, confidence and energy levels. I’m calm, patient and experienced thanks to raising my own cockapoo, Piper, from puppyhood. I’m comfortable with small to medium dogs and can administer medication when needed. I also take the time to learn each dog’s individual routine — feeding, toilet cues, walking style, rest needs — and I do my best to fit those into my own dog’s schedule so both dogs feel settled, understood and supported. My priority is always to make dogs feel safe, relaxed and cared for.

“Lilly was lovely - She didn't even bat an eye when the first thing my puppy did was come in and pee on her floor! Thank you so much for covering Lilly you're great!”

“Lucy and Somah are absolutely amazing. Our pup, Poppy, absolutely loves spending time with them and it’s really great to know she will be happy and safe with them.”

About: I am highly attentive and can fit in with your dogs preferences. I work from home, have a secure garden and enjoy lovely walks from my doorstep. My husband and I have had Toby since a puppy who is now 2 years old. 🐾 I am available over the weekends and during the week. I enjoy heading out for a dog walk from my doorstep throughout the day and offering playtime. I have cared for dogs of all ages including puppies and older dogs. My home is calm, safe and dog proof with a secure garden for toilet breaks.

“Hebron was great, good communication. Willow really enjoyed her two weekend days at doggy day care! Hebron was flexible to my busy schedule. Would book with again :)”

About: I've had dogs in my life since I was born and currently have 3 Vizslas and am a KC approved breeder too, so am more than comfortable with puppies too. I have a few small businesses that I run from home & home educate my teenage son so I have time to fit in pet care with my routine I'm more than happy to pop in and feed /play etc with your pet while you're away or out, take it for a walk if necessary (depending on the type of pet!). I'm comfortable with most pets and if I were to agree to pet sit during the day or overnight at my own home, I have a large fenced garden with plenty of space and my pets to keep yours company

“Ellen and Joel are absolutely fantastic! Bruce was welcomed in and had a fantastic day out exploring. He came home relaxed and tired so I know he had a great day. Their dog Olive is the sweetest little play mate for your pup 🐶 cannot recommended more 🥰”

About: Thank you for checking out my profile! I'm Clare, a caring, reliable and very experienced pet owner (and lover of animals of all shapes and sizes), and I'd love to help with looking after your furry or feathered friends while you're away. I've had animals my whole life and love giving them the best car, including plenty of cuddles. I've always had dogs as pets, but also cared for different types of dogs including foster dogs with a range of temperaments and issues, reactive dogs and working dogs. This has included training puppies. I also grew up with cats and have had a number of other pets that have been a big part of the family, including chickens, ducks, hamsters, rabbits (both house and outdoor buns), guinea pigs, hamsters, gerbils, tropical fish, budgies, and even mice once upon a time - an underrated pet! I completely understand how it feels to leave your pet in the care of a stranger, and will work with you to ensure you feel as comfortable as possible, with frequent updates and check ins as often as you'd like. I am currently on maternity leave and as well as my baby, have an almost 3 year old who is extremely gentle with (and enamoured by!) animals, and a very capable assistant putter-down of food bowls and provider of treats. I'm currently on maternity leave, so have plenty of time to play and snuggle with your pets! I drop my eldest at nursery at 8am and then my parents can look after the baby while I pop in at any time of day. I can feed, walk, top up water, do a little grooming - whatever your furry friend needs! We can chat about what you'd like me to do with your pet aand I'm more than happy to accommodate their needs, whether that be for playtime, meals, a leg stretch, or just some cuddles. I can easily crate pets if needed or let them out for some fresh air while keeping a close eye on them. With dog walking, I have experience of dogs that are strong on the lead and those that are reactive. I'll always give lots of updates on how your pet is doing, and send plenty of pics as I'm sure you'll be missing them!

About: We are the proud owners of our lovely little whippet boy Frango 🐶 we have both had the pleasure of being surrounded by family pets of different breeds throughout our lives as seen from our pics. We have deep knowledge and experience of looking after (and playing with) dogs and are happy to accommodate to specific needs. I work from home full time so can attend to any specific needs almost immediately, my partner who does shift work will also be on hand to help whenever he isn't working. We have a small fenced patio garden and live very close to the park and fields which we use twice a day to walk our whippet and your doggo!

“Our dog had a wonderful time with Jane! Jane obviously loves dogs and you can rest assured knowing that your dog will be taken great care of if they are with Jane. Would 100% recommend!”

“Barbara was very kind and careful with my rescue dog who suffers from separation anxiety and needs one to one care. Barbara was very understanding and I will certainly ask her to look after Ruby again. Many thanks Barbara.”

Ros N.

“Charlotte took Angus for the day on very short notice and something we were very grateful for. He loved his short stay and came back to us a very happy boy!! Thank you!! Andy & Ben”

Andy B.

“Nitya is a very communicative and friendly sitter. She and her partner provided our pup Arthur with so much care and attention and provided us with regular photos and updates. We picked up a very happy pup afterwards! Highly recommended and we will definitely be booking Nitya and her partner again! Thank you!”

“Jessica looked after Jojo recently so it was an easy decision to book her again- we knew our dog would be in best hands and indeed Jojo settled in and relaxed in no time. Jessica sent regular updates so we were never in doubt she was having a great time.”

Sabine K.

“Ellie was brilliant with our Jack Russell and they clearly got on really well - at the end of the day he was really reluctant to leave and kept looking back over his shoulder for her! She kept us up to date with how the day was going and sent pictures. We'd be happy to book with her again! 10/10 would recommend.”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs and have always had them in my family home. Caring for them has been a big part of my life, and I’ve always loved taking them on walks, playing with them, and making sure they’re happy and well looked after. Since moving out, I’ve regularly looked after my family’s two Shih-Poos, either by house sitting or having them to stay in our home. My partner and I also frequently care for their family’s dogs, including a senior Spaniel and a Spaniel puppy, so we’re experienced with dogs of different ages, energy levels, and needs. We have our own dog, who we’ve had since she was a puppy, so we’ve spent a lot of time training and socialising her. We recently moved to a home with a larger garden and beautiful nearby walking routes, as spending time outdoors with our dog is one of our favourite things to do. Your dog will be treated like part of the family and given plenty of love, attention, and exercise while they’re with us. I work full-time, Monday to Friday, and work from home every day. My partner also works from home with me at least three days a week, so there’s always someone at home for the majority of the day. At weekends, we enjoy getting out and about, but we typically choose dog-friendly activities so our dog can come along with us. We always walk our dog at least 1-2 times per day, depending on the weather and schedules. We have a fully fenced, secure garden where they can play safely, as well as our dog to keep them company if they enjoy being around other dogs. We’re happy to accommodate your dog’s usual routine and can provide space for a crate if that’s what they’re most comfortable with. If we need to leave the house for a short period, the dogs stay in our spacious kitchen/dining area. We also have a Ring camera so we can keep an eye on them while we’re away. If your dog prefers their own space, we’re able to keep our dog in a separate area of the house.

“Lovely sitter 😊”
