Doggy Day Care Waverley

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.

About: We have a 1.5 year old dog who would love some doggy company, he is a well trained and very friendly cocker spaniel called Gus Between myself and Jack there is always someone at home as we both have flexible working arrangements. We take Gus out for two walks a day and have a garden too, so having another dog would slot in well to our routine. We have a fenced garden which is perfect for outside playing - it is secure with part patio, part grass. Indoors we have a stair gate to block off the upstairs but are happy for the dogs to be anywhere in the house with us - wherever they are comfortable!

“So re-assuring to leave Mr J with Tamas and Andrea. He always sleeps away the rest of the day - sign of a very happy, tired dog!... Thank you!...”

“Laura was great and very patient as Loki is a bit of a monkey to begin with but she understood straight away when i explained things..... the photos soon came of Loki walking happily alongside her own dog. Would defiantly use again should i be in the area.”

“I would definitely recommend Geoffrey. He sent us pictures of truffle & told us he's never thrown a ball that much ! He looked after our dog very well & will use again.”

“Jenny took amazing care of our puppy and we felt completely at ease. She’s incredibly friendly, communicative, and clearly loves dogs. We would absolutely book with Jenny again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter. 🐶✨”

“Anna took excellent care of our doggy Maple and was really considerate of her nervous nature. Anna was happy to accommodate Maple’s routine and she came home tired after having a great day with Anna and Percy! Will definitely use Anna again :)”

“Beth took excellent care of Baxter, from a positive and very friendly meet to a full day of doggy daycare. Beth has outstanding grounds for dogs to run around and be themselves. We will be using Beth again the future.”

About: I've worked professionally with animals (competition horses) since my teens & always had big dogs myself from German shepherds to mountain dogs. I'm calm & professional & the space has a lovely garden. I don't have my own pets currently or any children so your pet really will get undivided attention. I work for myself so can be flexible & at home when I have sits. I'm happy to have dogs 1:1 or if you're going away with family/friends & want your pups that already know each other to stay together, I am happy to cater this. I'm confident tailoring needs for old or injured/rehabing dogs, & am also an active runner - so if you have one that needs extra stimulation, I am happy taking them for canicross fun too. I work for myself so can base at home as much as needed around dog sits. Occasionally, I look after horses so if suitable the dog can join me for a fun half day outside. I am active so will take the dog fun places to explore if they are happy to travel & if they like to run they can join me for some extra exercise. I teach yoga 2 evenings a week locally meaning the dog/dogs would need to be ok left for 1.5hours. With my own dogs I've always taken them everywhere with me & have a dog-friendly friendship group so I am happy taking your pup for social walks & pub visits too (when appropriate for the dog). I have a fenced garden. I let the dogs in all the rooms so they can be with my while I work. I tend not to let them on furniture but if it is something they are used to, I can put some dog towels on the sofa for them to settle.

“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 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

“Trudy had a lovely day with Somah! It was a super hot day and they took such care to keep Trudy cool, and comfortable. Love getting little updates throughout the day! Trudy will be back to visit soon!”
