About Marcia

*******We only board small to medium dogs, house trained and must be friendly with other pets🙏 
Meet and greet first is essential 😊🤝*******
In our home🏡💞🐶🐶🐾 your dog will be happy and well looked after so you can rest assured to enjoy your holidays, day out or whichever reason of absence.

I've been taking care of dogs and cats  all my lifetime. I am kind, calm and caring. My other half and my son (young adult) also love dogs and both are happy to help me. One of them, usually my son, comes with me to the park for the daily evening walk, so I have this extra pair of hands to keep your fur baby and mine safe whilst outdoors.

I work from home on my laptop at steady pace with a few breaks along the day. 

We have a good size, fully fenced, secured backyard, I'll let our and your dog out every 2 hours for a bit of fresh air, toileting and exercise. 
Our Cockapoo Lily🐶 loves to play with our furry guests, chasing around the garden and has got so much energy to run a several laps on every break. 
In the evenings we all go for a nice walk to one of our two local parks about 5-10min away. 

I'm very aware of your feelings as a pet's parent and aware that separation anxiety can happen to both, to comfort I will send a few pics or a short video from your pup EVERYDAY, during the entire time he/she's under my care : ) 

I take this responsibility seriously so won't go out if my husband or our young lad aren't at home to watch them for me. In our home your pup will be under supervision 24/7 🐶👀👀😁. 

We've got a box full of chewing toys and big bones to keep our and your pup busy 🦴🦴🦴🥎⚾🥏🧩🐻🪅🪇🎉

* If sleeping over, please remember to bring:
- Your dog's own bed (important to help him/her to get settled for the night ) 

* Sleeping over or daycare:
- Enough food for the entire booking
- Favorite toy, bone or both
- Doggy raincoat (if you don't have one at moment, no worries, I have plenty of them at home in all sizes) so they still can go out for toilet and exercise in all weather even when is raining, I'll throw the ball to them under my umbrella ☔😁 so they'll run a few laps around the garden chasing it 🥎👀🐕🐕
- Vet's name/address and an emergency contact please, as a precaution. I'm sure everything will be fine but always better be safe than sorry 😊🙏

Our dog sleeps in her big crate but doesn't need it on daytime, she's fully house trained. If your pet does have a crate routine or currently sleeps in one, please bring it as well, I'm happy  to follow your choices and schedules. 

I have oral medication training. Able to also apply insulin pen if required. 

We have a baby tall safety gate to our upstairs so no 🐶🐶🐱🐱 allowed in our carpeted area, neither fussing in the laundry basket😂 However, downstairs there is plenty of space for them to play freely, 2 well sized living rooms, conservatory and a very spacious backyard garden ☺️

Our 2 kitties🐱🐱 are 100% dog friendly, they just don't bother about dogs anymore😂 King and Queen of their 2 high cat trees, only getting down when I'm around or when they already got used to the furry guest🐶 but would get stressed with other felines in our house. 
I love kitties😍🐱🐱🐱 but I am able to provide only drop-in visits for cats (Derby area - only 30min visits and at maximum 🚗5miles away from our postcode)🙏

Many thanks for considering our home a good place to kindly take care of your furry baby 🐶💞 
If you drop me a booking request I'll check it on my availability in order to arrange a visit as per meet and greet for you with your pup🐾🐶💕 xx

Doggy Day Care
Megan, 2024-10-11

Marcia is a brilliant, thoughtful and knowledgeable dog sitter - she looked after my little Nala so well and sent me pictures throughout the visit.

Marcia gave me suggestions as to how best to help Nala in situations where she’s anxious/unwell.

Marcia’s house beautiful and catered to the animals that she takes care of, I’m so grateful for your help Marcia!

Thank you so much, I will definitely be booking again very soon❤️
