Doggy Day Care West Mersea

About: I have had dogs for the last 10 years. I have a very close bond with them and love spending my time with them. I also walk, feed and bathe them. I have taken care of friends dogs from time to time as well as both cats and dogs through Rover! I currently work remotely meaning I am able to spend lots of quality time with your pets at the same time as working! I often go for a walk with my own dogs around lunchtime. I have a large fenced garden next to a beach and two friendly dogs of my own! They love new company and having adventures together.

“Bella had the best time with Annabel and her gorgeous daxies... the pics were incredible and she clearly was very happy there. Looking forward to her next visit already. Thank you so much for minding our girl so well.”

“Dylan had a fantastic day with Michael! He was so well looked after, with lots of playtime. The location is perfect, with a large and secure garden, plenty of space inside and a fun walk nearby, away from roads. Highly recommended!”

About: My aim is to make sure your dog is happy, loved, entertained, walked and fed in the same way as if they were at home. I work from home so am here all day to look after your dog as I do my own gorgeous golden retriever, Stan. I wake up early (06:30) to say hi, provide breakfast, and let Stan and your lovely dog out in our safe garden followed by a cuddle. Then we’re out for a walk in the lovely open spaces on our doorstep. If it’s the weekend - and your dog is keen - we’ll go to the beach for a swim or paddle! Otherwise happy to stick to our lovely countryside walks :) Chill time then playtime in the garden followed by another walk later. Then dinner and an evening play and chill whilst we cook dinner and relax at home with Stan and his pal :) I have my own 7 year old golden retriever, Stan who is very chilled and gets on with all dogs and humans! We have a spacious home with a fenced garden. There are lots of lovely walks on our doorstep and we like to go to the beach for a swim or paddle too! Stan is my third child! I have two grown up kids at uni. Freddie, 22 and Poppy 20. I will look after your dog as if he were part of our family.

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and have always loved caring for them. I grew up with many cats, and since I was little I’ve helped look after them, including taking in stray cats during my childhood. We also always had family dogs, and I loved spending time with them, playing, and taking them out for walks. In total, my whole family 5 dogs overall, so I’m very comfortable being around different breeds and personalities. I also have personal experience caring for a small tortoise named Frankie, so I’m used to looking after pets with different needs and routines. Animals have always been a big part of my life, and I genuinely enjoy giving them attention, care, and companionship. I’m currently not working, so I have plenty of time to give pets the attention they need. I’m available for dog walks, home visits, boarding, and overnight stays, and I can be flexible to suit your pet’s routine. I’m happy to help with whatever is needed to make sure your pet feels comfortable and well cared for. I live in a small two-bedroom house, and although I don’t have a garden, there is a small nature reserve area just behind my home that’s perfect for dog walks. There’s also a bigger park about a 5 to 10 minute walk away, so there’s plenty of outdoor space and nature nearby for exercise and fresh air. I make sure pets are supervised, comfortable, and cared for in a calm, safe environment.

“Hannah was brilliant with our 7 month (old very energetic) Staffy X puppy. Super accommodating and very experienced - gave us huge confidence leaving River in her care. Also offered a great ‘meet and greet’ before our first booking as well to make sure the pairing was a good fit. Already booked in for some more dates. Thanks Hannah!”

About: As a proud dog mom to a sweet Golden Retriever girl and a lovable Pug boy, caring for dogs is part of my everyday life. I understand firsthand how important it is to find someone you fully trust with your pets because I’d want the same for mine! Living with both a large, active breed and a smaller, personality-filled breed has given me experience with different energy levels, temperaments, and care needs. Whether it’s long walks and playtime for high-energy pups or extra attention and gentle care for smaller or more sensitive dogs, I adapt to what each pet needs to feel safe and happy. Pet care fits easily into our routine because one of us is always home. This allows for consistent supervision, regular potty breaks, scheduled feedings, walks, and plenty of playtime and attention. Your dog will never be left alone for long periods and will always have loving company throughout the day. Safety and comfort are our top priorities. Our home is clean, calm, and dog-friendly, with a secure fenced garden for safe outdoor play and fresh air. We carefully follow each owner’s instructions for feeding, exercise, medication, and routines. With experience caring for both large and small breeds, we understand different energy levels and personalities and make sure every dog feels safe, loved, and at home.

About: I have grew up with a Labrador who I was mainly taking care of by myself. In recent years I have been helping my friends and family with looking after their pups. I have some experience with rescue dogs and also looking after four dogs at once. I am working from home with a fair amount of flexibility so I can look after your pup all day weekdays and weekends as well. I am living in a flat with no garden, however only 2 mins walk from a big park. My home is pet friendly as I do often look after dogs of my friends and family.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs all my life, from German Shepards to Jack Russels so am used to training most sized breeds. I currently have a Schnoodle who loves her walks and interacting with other dogs. I am a member of the DWSA and have a qualification with them also which includes first aid training and dog behaviour I work from home and my job is flexible so I can offer walks and dog boarding at short notice. I also work weekends to cover all my clients needs I have an 80ft garden which is fully enclosed and a bungalow so account for all aged dogs. I always meet the dogs before taking on any clients to make sure the dog and family are happy. I’m fully insured and have a DBS check

“Paul provided a perfect relaxed atmosphere for my cavapoo Denny and I’m definitely booking again!”

About: For as long as I can remember I've always loved Dogs, and all animals for that matter. I've been taking care of dogs for friends and family as well as having my own dogs all throughout my childhood. Now I have my own little dog called Meeko who is the sweetest thing and want to be able to open my home to care for others dogs when needed. I permanently work from home on a flexible basis, so whatever the dogs need, they get! I have my own dog and we take regular breaks throughout the day to play and go for beautiful walks. I have a fenced secure garden and already have a dog of my own which loves playing with other dogs. We don't crate our dog but if your dog is used to being crated and you can supply the crate then we are happy to do so.

“Briony was amazing with Gigi - knew exactly what to do to settle her - really grateful for the suggestions and flexibility. Gave a super quick response and kept us updated throughout - would highly recommend/use again!”

About: I had two dogs for 16 years who were so loved and cared for. Unfortunately they have both passed away now so I have a dog shaped hole in my heart. I am one of those people who sees a dog and just smiles. If I look after your doggy I can promise you I will care for them as if they were my own. They will be very welcome to share the sofa and there will be lots of tickling of the tummy! I love going out for walks with dogs and just really treating them like part of the family I have just retired from work so I have plenty of time. I do go out and about though so won’t necessarily be at home for the entire day. I have a fenced garden with grass. I live next to a large field where many people walk their dogs. My house does not have a road outside so it is very secure.

About: Hi! I’m a reliable, caring, and enthusiastic animal lover with a genuine passion for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I understand that pets are family members, and I treat every dog in my care with the same attention, patience, and affection I give my own. Whether your dog needs a fun walk, companionship while you’re away, feeding, playtime, or overnight care, I provide a safe and loving environment tailored to their individual needs. I am attentive to routines, exercise requirements, and any special instructions to ensure your pet feels comfortable and happy. What I Offer Dog walking Pet sitting at your home Feeding and fresh water Playtime and exercise Medication administration (if required) Regular updates, photos, and messages Basic grooming (brushing, wiping paws) Why Choose Me? Dependable and punctual Calm and patient with nervous or energetic dogs Comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes and ages Strong focus on safety and wellbeing Excellent communication with pet owners I look forward to meeting you and your furry friend and providing the care, attention, and exercise they deserve! Pet care fits really naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I’m self-employed and currently only working one full day a week with a few shorter commitments on other days, so I already have plenty of time and flexibility built into my week for walks, exercise, and general care. On a day-to-day basis, I’m already used to structuring my time around being active and outdoors, so fitting in regular walks, playtime, and attention throughout the day works easily alongside my routine. I’m consistent with early mornings, daytime availability, and being around in the week, which makes it easy to stay reliable with care. Weekly, my schedule is already quite open and flexible, so I can comfortably adapt to different dogs’ needs and routines and make sure they’re getting steady, dependable care. In a pet owner’s home, I follow the dog’s usual routine so they feel comfortable and settled in their own environment. I stick closely to their feeding, walking, and care instructions, making sure everything stays consistent, calm, and familiar for them. I also pay close attention to their behaviour and needs so they feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for while their owner is away. If I’m caring for a pet in my own home, I have plenty of space for them to feel comfortable and relaxed. I make sure they have a safe, clean, and calm environment, and I keep their routine as close to normal as possible, including feeding, exercise, and rest. They’re supervised and given plenty of attention throughout the day, with regular walks and playtime built in. For dog walking, I focus on safe, enjoyable walks that suit each dog’s energy and personality, always making sure they’re secure and well looked after from start to finish. Overall, I prioritise keeping pets happy, comfortable, and cared for, whether I’m in their home or they’re staying with me. I also have a cavapoo your dog can socialise with. If you are not keen on this my dog Is able to stay in a separate section of the house with my parents! :)

“I left my anxious senior chihuahua with Amadeusz yesterday as a practice run for a longer stay - he was very understanding of her stress and was able to make friends with her and get her to settle in. He checked in throughout the day to let me know how she was doing & even sent a few pictures. I will book with him again!”

About: I have a 4 year old Pomeranian called Pablo who loves other dogs so it would be a pleasure for us to look after your small fluffy friend. Pablo is my baby and I would look after your dog with same care & affection. I work from home part time, so I have plenty of time to spend with your pups. Me & Pablo go for at least one hour walk once a day and often explore new places for walks such as the local beach and woods. I never leave Pablo alone, he comes everywhere with me, we often go to starbucks to work from there & he gets a pupachino! If I do need to leave him to go to the shop or appointment etc, my mum lives down the road and will look after him, she also has a big garden Pablo loves to run around in. Pablo adores other dogs but only small dogs, so I can only cater for small dogs. I would like to do a meet and greet first to check both pups get on. Pablo is a bit spoilt and is allowed on the sofa and sleeps in the bed however he was crate trained so I have experience in that too.

About: I've always had dogs or cats throughout my life and I currently am a cat mum. I thoroughly love animals and care for them a huge amount. I am currently working full time from home. But I have a flexible schedule, so happy to workout timings with you when a care is needed. I can not have animals in my home as I have a cat and I don't think she would like any visitors unfortunately and it wouldn't be fair on her.

We sadly lost our Barney boy in April 2021, the house feels very empty without him and I have so much love and care in me my cat is getting annoyed!

You can expect a clean and welcoming home with a fenced and secure garden, access to garden at all times, every pooch in my care is my priority, I can accommodate to most specific needs so please do not hesitate to get in touch!

“Thomas was great with our puppy Peggy. Arranged a meet and greet in advance and was very reassuring as this was to be Peggy's first ever doggy daycare. We got messages and pictures at various points during her stay and she obviously made herself quite at home. Would happily rebook.”
