Doggy Day Care Witham

About: I'm an experienced dog owner and now really enjoy looking after dogs which I've been doing for friends and family for many years and now looking to do it more regularly. I work from home so dogs will rarely be left on their own for longer than an hour at a time. I work for myself at home so I can be very flexible to your dog's needs and will be happy to stick to your dog's routines. I have a large fenced garden laid mostly to lawn and access to lovely off road dog walks close by for as many walks as needed.

“Bailey had a lovely day with Joanna he came home exhausted as he had lot's of fun playing with Bramble he will definitely go back again. 😃”

About: I’ve had dogs all my life, so caring for them has always been a big part of my day-to-day life. I regularly look after dogs for family and friends and treat every dog that stays with us as if they were my own. Most recently, we looked after my sister’s dog, Bailey, for a week while she was away. Bailey settled in really well and had a great time with us, with plenty of walks, playtime, cuddles and attention. I’m confident caring for dogs with different personalities and routines, and I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable and at home while they’re in my care I work from home so plenty of love to give, lots of walks & cuddles. I have a cockapoo too who loves other dogs and would love the company. We have a fenced garden totally safe and big to run around, plus a very loving home that they are free to roam wherever they would like.

“Cherry absolutely loved her stays with Amalia and Bri, she was happy and tired when I picked her up which was perfect for me, and Amalia was very understanding around me having to do awkward drop off and pick up times, highly recommend and would definitely use again!”

“I cannot thank Charlotte enough for this. Completely personalised amazing care. My puppy was picked up and dropped off. When she came home, she was well exercised and satisfied. Honestly an amazing sitter who treats my dog like a beloved member of the family.”

“Alys kindly arranged a quick intro so we could meet her and her dog before booking a day care session with our lab, Goose. She and her husband wanted to know details of our usual routine and house rules so they could replicate that whilst Goose was with them. They kindly sent a few pictures and updates throughout the day and we could tell that Goose had a lovely time staying with them. Alys and Dan are friendly and professional and we will definitely be booking with them again!”

About: Does your dog find busy environments, other dogs, or kennels overwhelming? You're in the right place. I specialise in caring for anxious, nervous, and sensitive dogs in a calm, dog-free home; just your dog, no others. There's no competition for attention, no unpredictable dog dynamics, just a quiet, relaxed space where your dog can settle at their own pace. Ex-teacher seeking a quieter pace after years in Central London. Lifelong dog owner and trusted sitter for friends’ pets, and very much the type who gravitates to the dog at any gathering. Calm, reliable, and attentive, offering walks, home visits, and sitting with plenty of care, routine, and companionship. I am actively job hunting at the moment, so cannot commit to bookings too far in the future. I’m currently very flexible after leaving my Central London teaching role and while working on my MSc. I have plenty of time for walks, visits, and sitting across weekdays and weekends, and I can easily fit around your dog’s usual routine. I grew up with dogs and have long been the trusted sitter for friends’ pets. I live with my husband in a calm, dog-friendly house with an enclosed garden on the edge of fields for safe outdoor time and long walks. We have no children or other pets, so visiting dogs receive quiet, focused attention and can relax comfortably. I follow routines closely and prioritise safety, supervision, and secure environments at all times.

“Poppy had an amazing day and made two new best friends. Holly did a great job, felt like Poppy was in safe hands and had a lovely day”

About: My husband I have always loved dogs and had them in our lives since childhood. We are early retirees and able to offer outstanding care for your beloved pet/s. Our own beloved family member, Alfie, a Cocker Spaniel died in 2018 and we have since then lavished all our love on our granddog Duke, a Golden retriever, who lives in LA, whom we have helped raise since he was a puppy. We are early retirees and when not travelling, are able to offer 5 star care for your dog/s in our home, which is a good size, clean and very safe. We are both young, mid 50's and very active with access to walks around the lovely countryside in Bocking, Braintree. Having been on Rover for nearly a year and with a bit more experience, we offer a high quality service limited to just one dog at a time, or two dogs from the same family. We will not mix your dogs with any other dog, at any time during the stay. We wish to provide the best care possible and for us, we realise it's best if we concentrate on a single dog, or a pair of dogs, from the same family to maximise, safety, care and attention on your beloved pet/s. We are recently retired and therefore able to prove maximum time and attention to any Dog that stays in our home with us. We are also able to visit your home for walks or drop-ins. We have a fenced in garden, which is dog friendly and safe. We have a spacious home, very safe and clean and a perfect loving environment for your pet. We live very close to the Fennes, giving us the best walks in Essex, perfect for us to exercise ourselves and your pet. We are both mature and responsible adults with lots of time on our hands. We are only looking to look after a maximum of one dog, or two dogs from the same home, at any one time, as we are looking to provide high quality and maximum attention to a small number of dogs, so we can enjoy the experience of having dogs, rather than providing care for financial reward alone.

About: Hi! I’m a reliable, caring dog lover who works from home part time and spends the rest of the week as a stay at home mum, so your dog will have plenty of company, attention, and care throughout the day. My toddler is with me most weekdays (he attends nursery two days a week, increasing to three days from September), so I’m looking after dogs that are friendly and comfortable around young children. He has been brought up around dogs and is always supervised, ensuring everyone stays happy and safe. We have a lovely open plan downstairs where dogs can relax and feel at home, along with a secure, good sized garden for outdoor play and toilet breaks. We’re also lucky to have beautiful local walks nearby, as well as secure dog fields just down the road that I can book, giving dogs a safe space to run, play, and burn off energy. Every dog is different, so I’ll always follow their usual routine and give them the care they need, whether that’s long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply a quiet place to relax. I’ll treat your dog like one of the family and keep you updated with regular photos and messages, so you can enjoy your time away knowing they’re in safe and loving hands. I’m a stay at home mum to my toddler and work part time from my beauty room in the garden, so I’m home for most of the day and have plenty of time to give your dog attention and company. I occasionally do freelance work, but this is only on odd dates and isn’t regular, so I can usually be very flexible with bookings. I’m available for plenty of daytime care and can work around your dog’s usual routine as much as possible. I have a secure, fenced off garden and an open plan downstairs space where your dog can feel comfortable and at home. I have a lovely, friendly dog who enjoys having a playmate but is also very happy to relax and snooze in the sunshine. We have some lovely walks close by, so there are plenty of opportunities for walks, playtime and exploring. I’m happy to follow your dog’s usual routine and give them lots of love and attention while they’re with me.

“Chelsea and Rico were amazing to Cotton. She was visibly so happy on her time there. Long walks definitely made her happy. She has been so calm since I picked her up. Thank you for the patience with her, she is just a puppy and Rico has been a good influence on her for sure.”

About: I have a big love for animals and have spare time so want to help others and look after their loved animals and care for them. I look after my friends and families cats and dogs on a regular basis so have experience with different breeds and want to help others have the opportunity to go away on holiday or going to work and relax knowing their baby is getting a home from home experience in a relaxed environment. I work from home most days and if I need to go into the office I have a flexible timetable so would be out the house for no more than 4 hours but also happy to accommodate to your timings of each pet. I am also happy to take them out to places with me if this is something your pet is familiar with. I live in a house with a private fenced/brick wall garden. I have a park next to my house and multiple walks around my area with a mixture of fields, grass and pavement environments. I also have a car so am happy to take out with owners permission I also send photos and updates to the owners to let them know there babies are in safe hands

“Katie and her mum are the absolute best. Bluey had such a lovely time playing with them and being in the garden. I was very nervous leaving him, but she made me feel at ease and sent lovely pics. Will definitely book her again!”
