About Us

Doggy Day Care is a family run business spanning three generations where we all do our bit.

I’ve been surrounded by an array of animals all my life, however I have a natural affinity and passion for dogs. From having my very first childhood pets I knew wanted to work with these intelligent amazing creatures

I’m very lucky that I have turned a lifelong dream into an amazing career.

From the very first dog I looked after at home, to the present day Bespoke Day Care Centre. I originally started Home Boarding for dogs while their owners were away on holiday, a complete home from home service where their dogs became part of our family, sharing our home.

I loved every minute of it, whilst my children were growing up. It was an unforgettable time of my life. Transpiring into a wonderful vocation.

Doggy Day Care was born from me doing what comes naturally – Loving My Dog.

The expansion was a natural progression as soon as my son Sam left school. He is equally as passionate about animals as I am and it was the obvious path for us both to work together and create the ultimate Doggy Day Care Centre without losing the personal caring reputation that has been built over many years.

I have always been a dog lover, from since I can remember. I have been brought up around dogs my whole life and from being a young child developed a passion for being around them. Being a part of Doggy Day Care is something that comes naturally to me, after a childhood surrounded by dogs, I Joined forces with my mum Maria at the age of 16 and for the last 7 years I have worked with hundreds of different dogs each with their own unique personalities, and helped to work and build Doggy Day Care into what it is today. Gathering an incredible amount of invaluable experience along the way. I love waking up for work each morning, and have built up a fantastic bond with each and every dog, getting to know all of their unique little ways, along with creating friendships with their owners built on years of trust. I feel extremely privileged to be able to spend my days working alongside all of these wonderful characters.
