Top cities for doggy day care in United Kingdom

For pet parents, one of the hardest things about going to work each day is wondering what your dog will get up to while you are gone. At Pawshake, we understand that dogs need activity and interaction during the day, so why not book your dog with one of our trusted sitters in St Albans for a home day care service? You can drop your dog off at the sitter’s home on the way to work or organise with your local St Albans Pawshake sitter to pick up and drop off your dog for you.

Pet day care is a great way to keep your dog mentally and physically active during the day so that you can come home to a happy, relaxed dog. Pawshake’s home day care service is great for young dogs who need constant supervision: puppy daycare allows your pup to maintain a consistent routine, which is important during the toilet training process. It’s also a great option for dogs who need extra care and attention, or those who are extra active.

Our sitters who offer home day care and puppy daycare services are more adaptable than your average big day care centre. Numbers are kept small and some Pawshake sitters will only take in one dog at a time. This means they can work around your timing and any special requirements your dog may have. So, let your four-legged best friend enjoy their day with a fun and loving St Albans sitter who will shower them with love and dedicated attention. On top of that, you will also get photos and updates during the day so that you can follow your dog’s day care adventures!

Every day care booking also comes included with The Pawshake Guarantee, which includes veterinary coverage, customer service support 7 days a week and more.

Hi, I'm Rita.
Caring for animals has been part of my life since I grew up on a farm. From an early age, I learned patience, responsibility and that every animal has their own personality, needs and way of doing things.
I've cared for dogs and cats of my own, volunteered with the Animal Welfare Trust in Watford, and looked after dogs through the BorrowMyDoggy App. I'm also DBS checked. These experiences have given me valuable hands-on experience with pets of different ages, breeds, personalities and routines.
I provide dog walking, drop-in visits, daytime care in your pet's own home and overnight house sitting for both dogs and cats. I adapt my approach to each pet and always take the time to understand their usual routine and what they need from their care.
Dog Walking
Dog walks are available for 30 or 60 minutes, depending on your dog's needs. Every walk is tailored to their age, fitness and personality. Whether your dog enjoys an energetic walk or prefers a slower pace with plenty of time to explore, I'll make sure they receive the exercise, enrichment and attention that's right for them.
I generally walk dogs from one household at a time, allowing me to give them my full attention, although I'm happy to walk multiple dogs from the same family together.
Drop-in Visits
Visits can include feeding, changing water, companionship, playtime, garden breaks, litter tray cleaning and plenty of attention if your pet enjoys it. Some animals need lots of interaction, while others are happier with a calm and reassuring presence. I always let pets get to know me at their own pace and follow your instructions carefully.
Daytime Care
For dogs who need company during the day, I can provide daytime care in their own home. This means they can stay in familiar surroundings while having someone there to keep them company, follow their normal routine and give them the attention they need throughout the day.
This can be particularly useful for dogs who don't enjoy being left alone for long periods, or for owners who need someone to care for their dog while they're away during the day. I'll spend time with your dog in their familiar surroundings and can include walks, feeding, playtime, garden breaks and companionship as agreed.
House Sitting
House sitting allows your pets to remain in the comfort and familiarity of their own home while you're away. I'll follow their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, companionship and bedtime habits.
House sitting includes overnight care, with your pet's routine and the arrangements discussed with you in advance so that everything is clear before your booking begins.
I understand that I'm not only caring for your pets but also looking after your home. I'll treat both with care, respect and discretion, and handle your keys securely.
Good communication is an important part of my service. I'll keep you updated during your booking with messages and photos, so you can see how your pets are getting on while you're away.
If an emergency were ever to arise, I would contact you immediately, follow your instructions and seek veterinary care without delay if necessary.
I love getting to know each pet's individual personality and building lasting relationships with both pets and their owners. My aim is to provide thoughtful, dependable care that fits naturally into your pet's usual routine and gives you peace of mind while you're away.
I look forward to meeting you and your pets.&nbsp;


I grew up completely surrounded by animals &amp; pets and am a self proclaimed crazy dog lady!
I have a deep understanding of dogs, particularly sighthounds and their needs, sensitivity &amp; prey drive, as I grew up with 2 gorgeous whippets - Dolly &amp; Tommy. I also had 3 cats so I have a great knowledge of feline care.
I have worked in the Film &amp; TV industry for 6 years and have decided to transition into the pet care field, driven by my genuine passion for animals. I am fully available and flexible to accommodate drop in visits &amp; walking needs at very short notice. I also offer doggy day care &amp; overnight boarding for small to medium sized dogs &amp; sighthounds of any size. I’m fully available for meet-ups beforehand to get to know eachother &amp; make sure it’s a great fit, just drop me a message!
I have been offering my services since the end of last year through other pet care platforms. I also often undertake paid home visits for pets belonging to my friends &amp; family whilst they’re at work or on holiday. I am a very reliable, trustworthy and respectful person.
I love tailoring walks and activities to each dog and their needs. I’m able to provide great exercise for both bigger &amp; high energy dogs, and great exercise for smaller / low energy dogs. I am very well versed in a good game of fetch &amp; frisbee but also aware some dogs just want a good old sniff around during their walks!
Please let me know if your dogs have any particular needs or sensitivities you’d like to discuss. I am experienced with reactive dogs, rescues &amp; dogs with a high prey drive. I’m more than happy to arrange a meet-up beforehand to get to know each other make sure it’s a great fit!

I’m a proud cat-holic and lifelong cat lover, currently living with my 9-year-old cat, Mung Mung. Over the years, I’ve shared my life with three cats in total, and having loved and cared for them from kittenhood through to their senior years has shaped my deep respect for feline wellbeing. Cats aren’t just pets to me — they’re family, and I care for every cat as if they were my own.
My motivation to be a pet sitter comes from genuine passion. I love understanding cats: their routines, personalities, nutrition, behaviour, and health needs. I previously volunteered at a stray cat shelter and have over five years of experience as a cat sitter, caring for more than 20 cats with a wide range of temperaments and requirements. I have hands-on experience supporting cats with serious liver and kidney conditions, including giving oral medication, injections, and hand-feeding when needed.
I’m happy to feed, play, clean litter trays, and keep your home tidy while you’re away. I also enjoy taking cute photos to help owners feel connected and reassured. For boarding services, I only accept fully vaccinated cats to ensure everyone’s safety. If you have questions, worries, or just want to talk cats, I’m always glad to help.&nbsp;
