Doggy Day Care Wheldrake

“Vanessa and her family were lovely with Maya and she has come back happy, and ready for bed! Vanessa sent lovely photos of Maya and her home felt a safe welcoming place to leave my lovely dog. Will definitely take Maya back there. Thanks!”

“We were over the moon with Cariana and the way she looked after Ziggy for the day! She kept us updated with plenty of pictures and I just knew Ziggy was being very well looked after. She was a very happy pup and we really appreciated the care Cariana provided. Would highly recommend! Thank you Cariana!”

“Kay took great care of Freddie (a Frenchie) when he was booked in for daycare. He was taken for a walks and felt relaxed enough to have a snooze in the sun when he was there too! Kay went the extra mile to get to know Freddie and I received updates on how he was doing, which was appreciated. She was also very understanding when the car I was travelling in broke down, causing me to be later than planned. I’d recommend Kay and hope to book in again soon.”

“Hendrix came back happy and healthy.. puppies are super energetic and I felt bad Hendrix just wanted to play all the time he was there and didn’t rest (as he slept in the car on the way) Very appreciated Octavia-Louise, thanks for looking after him!”

“Lesley was wonderful, thankyou so much for looking after Buster. We needed day care to attend a funeral in York at last minute. Buster was settled as soon as he saw Lesley when I dropped him off and a very happy chappy when I picked him up. He would clearly have stayed with her without hesitation. Great to get a fully detaiked report on his day too. Wouldn't hesitate to book Lesley again.”

About: As a lifelong animal lover I started caring for dogs at age 15 when a new neighbour moved in with a beautiful black staffy. Since then I've taken any opportunity I can to walk and care for dogs. Through travel I've had the opportunity to look after dogs in various places and enjoy the companionship and home like feel that furry friends offer. From walks in nature, play sessions, and caring for their needs, every interaction I have with dogs is filled with care and attention. I've cared for dogs through their highs and lows, nurturing them back to health after surgeries and offering love and joy. I understand the reliability and trust needed when finding someone to care for your dog. I am DBS checked (certificate available to see upon request) and I offer a flexible approach and an attentive nature. I work from home and plan my own work schedule so I can be very flexible and always present when walking or caring for your pet. I have a fenced garden that's completely secure. I also have plenty of space and home comforts inside for your pet to play, lounge, sleep, or eat.

About: I’ve loved and cared for dogs for most of my life. Growing up, my family had a female Pomeranian who was with us for over 10 years, followed by a female Husky. Caring for them gave me experience with dogs of different breeds, sizes and personalities. Now I live with my partner and our spayed female Cockapoo, Loopy. Looking after her has taught me the importance of understanding each dog’s individual needs, routine and personality. I’ve also looked after friends’ dogs, including a large Old English Sheepdog, whom I bathed and cared for, as well as several Cockapoos. One of my friend’s Cockapoos even stayed overnight in our home for a week, so I’m experienced in helping dogs settle into a new environment and feel comfortable. I genuinely love spending time with dogs. I enjoy taking them for walks, visiting parks and going on countryside walks together. I always pay close attention to their behaviour, comfort and wellbeing, and I’ll care for your dog with the same love and attention that I give my own. As a freelancer, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give dogs plenty of time, attention and companionship throughout the day. Caring for dogs is already a big part of my daily life, as I share my home with my partner and our lovely Cockapoo, Loopy. As a Cockapoo owner myself, I understand the energy, affection and attention this breed needs, and I’m always happy to adapt to each dog’s own routine and personality. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playtime or simply relaxing with people, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved and at home. Your dog’s safety, comfort and happiness will always come first. I have a friendly, spayed female Cockapoo who enjoys the company of other dogs. I introduce dogs gradually and never leave them together unsupervised until I’m confident they’re comfortable with each other. I’ll carefully follow your dog’s usual routine, including feeding, walks, medication (if needed) and any special instructions. Every dog is different, so I take the time to understand their personality and make sure they feel relaxed and secure. My goal is for your dog to enjoy their stay just as much as you enjoy your time away.

“Would definitely recommend Christianne, she looks after Ted who struggles with separation anxiety once a week. Updates throughout the day and takes great care of him and his needs.”

“Jaye and Jonny were lovely and welcoming, and from the pictures they sent, and Juno's attitude when we returned, we could tell she had the most wonderful time. We'd happily leave Juno in their care again.”

“Mika did the most fantastic job looking after Poppy. Very responsive with all messages, it was all really easy to organize. Very clear communication the whole time, very carefully preparing for and looking after Poppy. Lots of photos and updates. Highly recommended. Thank you so much, Mika!”

“Eva took care of my dog Wanda for an afternoon. Everything went great and Wanda had a great time with Eva. I would definitely leave my Wanda with her again, she spent a great afternoon with lots of treats and cuddles.”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Jack was fantastic, and I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. This was the first time I’d ever left Duggie with someone, so I was understandably a bit nervous — but Jack put me completely at ease from the very start. He’s friendly, calm, and clearly someone who genuinely cares about dogs. Communication was great throughout, with regular updates that really helped me relax knowing Duggie was happy, comfortable, and being very well looked after. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Jack again and would happily recommend him to anyone looking for someone they can truly trust with their dog.”

About: I’ve taken care of numerous dogs, aging from pups to seniors. I have maintained training programmes, as well as managing nervous and aggressive dogs. My experience in care work means I am exceptionally attentive and empathetic. I have a flexible schedule as a student. I am looking for part time work, and I am happy to work around pet owners requirements. My approach differs between cats and dogs. Cats: I keep a calm, quiet environment with no loud noises or surprises. I like to give the cat the space it deserves, and allow it to approach me when ready for cuddles or playing. Dogs: My fenced garden means easy access to outside. Lots of playing, goofing around and mental stimulation.

“I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Communication was spot on from start to finish- I got regular updates and loads of adorable photos that really put my mind at ease. Louie was clearly having the best time, especially when he got to go to the pub (his favourite kind of outing!). It’s so lovely to know he was treated like one of the family. Highly recommend and will definitely be booking again, I can tell why Melanie has had so many repeat bookings!! :)”
