Doggy day care at the sitter’s home

Day care for while you are away
A doggy day care sitter will provide day time supervision and loving care for your dog in their home.
Daycare is a perfect choice for giving your dog additional enrichment during the day. Our sitters can also offer puppy daycare to give your puppy additional socialisation while they are young.
The personalised experience our sitters provide means that your dog can enjoy their day in a relaxed and safe, home environment. This is a much better alternative to crowded commercial dog daycare centres.

Finding a good pet sitter is easy — someone who feeds your dog, sends a few updates, and keeps things running smoothly. But finding a great pet sitter… that’s different. A great pet sitter becomes an extension of your dog’s world, someone who genuinely cares, engages, and loves your pet as if they were their own. That’s who Cherie is. We’ve been with Cherie for the longest time, and looking back, I can honestly say it was a blessing in disguise that we found her. My dog quite literally lives her best life whenever she’s with her — from the endless engagement to the thoughtful TLC she receives. You can see it in every photo and video Cherie sends: the little moments, the funny expressions, the play sessions, the quiet cuddles. Nothing is ever rushed or transactional. Everything feels genuine. Cherie and her partner have gone above and beyond in ways that are hard to put into words. They’ve treated her like family — buying her toys, helping to prep her meals, and keeping an eye on her wellbeing with the kind of attentiveness only true animal lovers have. Over time, they’ve become more than just sitters. They’ve become her godparents in every sense of the word… and along the way, we’ve become friends as well. If a good pet sitter gives you peace of mind, then a great pet sitter gives your dog a second home. And for us, that’s Cherie. I couldn’t be more grateful.

We had such a wonderful experience with Jeremy & Lynn, and we couldn’t be happier with the care they provided for our golden retriever, Ergou! From the very beginning, they were incredibly friendly, responsive, and professional, which gave us great peace of mind. Ergou is usually quite attached to us, but he absolutely loved staying with them. It was clear that Jeremy & Lynn treated him like their own dog — with so much patience, attention, and genuine affection. They kept us updated throughout the day with messages and photos, which we really appreciated. Seeing Ergou so relaxed, happy, and well cared for made us feel completely at ease. What impressed us the most was how comfortable Ergou became in their home. When it was time to pick him up, he honestly didn’t even seem like he wanted to leave — which says everything! It’s rare to find caregivers who can make a dog feel that safe and loved in such a short time. Their home environment is also very clean, safe, and dog-friendly, and you can tell they have lots of experience handling dogs. Whether it’s for daycare or boarding, they go above and beyond to ensure every dog is happy and well looked after. We are extremely grateful to have found Jeremy & Lynn, and we will definitely continue to choose them in the future — for both daycare and boarding. Highly, highly recommended to anyone looking for trustworthy and loving pet sitters!
