We love Whitley Bay Doggy Day Care. They are great bunch of happy, caring and friendly staff. Our dog , Henry, is an older dog but loves the attention from the staff. I would highly recommend this service.

Aoife loves her time at Daycare! As a girlie on the more hesitant side, we were worried she wouldn’t ever take to going, but with the help of all the lovely lasses who take care of her she’s gaining so much confidence! On her first day, Liv took the time to let us know she had settled in so we weren’t worried, and it was so appreciated. It’s an amazing option to have a mental break while we raise our lovely girlie to be a well rounded and socialised pup, and I’m sure she’d kick up a fuss if we stopped taking her! Thanks so much folks 🧡

We were nervous to take Max to Doggy Daycare as we had recently adopted him and knew he was a little nervous and anxious but the staff at Whitley Bay were fantastic, keeping in touch with us throughout those first few visits so we felt reassured that he was doing ok! The updates on social media also helped, was great to see him looking quite at home there!! Thanks to all the staff but especially Ebony who has spent lots of time improving Max’s confidence and keeping in touch with us – so pleased we found you guys!! X

Our dog Woody is so happy here. He comes home full of joy then promptly falls asleep after his day of fun. All the staff are lovely and friendly and the instagram updates brighten my day at work. Couldn’t be happier.

The staff at Whitley Bay are amazing, it’s the best thing I have done for Daphne aka “Chicken”….she absolutely loves spending time with her friends (both human and doggy) and has improved so much over the last year since she came to live with me. She is so excited when she arrives and has the best time. It is clear to me that the staff put a lot of time and effort into making every dog feel happy and safe (from following their day on social media) their days are about having fun but there is also structure and training.
Originally I brought Daphne out of necessity as I needed her to be looked after while I went to work, but she loves spending time here so much that even if I didn’t work I would still bring her….

I’m so grateful for the amazing staff making Nora and myself feel so comfortable with the whole experience of navigating day care with an 11 week old puppy! The feedback and information is great and the photo and video updates online are such a lovely touch. Special mention and thanks to Ebony and Emma during enrollment! You are all awesome.

Fab daycare, my 3 year Old cockapoo loves it, staff are brill, I never worry about her because she’s in safe hands. Lots of stimulation and socialisation, sleeps soundly when she gets home after a day of fun! Just joined Whitley Bay branch but she has gone to Pegswood since she was 16 weeks old, highly recommend DDCC !

Dougie loves going to doggy day care. I think he’d live there if he could!
All of the staff are so lovely and genuinely love the pups, it’s been so great for his confidence and socialisation. Amy, Ebony, Chloe and Ciara are all great, along with the rest of the team! Love seeing all the pupdates on instagram too

I am so beyond grateful for everyone at Whitley Bay Doggy Day Care Centre, we rescued our pup from Romania and she was a very timid and nervous girl, I was so worried that she wouldn’t settled but within a few hours of being at the centre, they let me know she had settled and when I saw the posts on their page, she was like a different dog in the best way possible. Her confidence has grown so much and I couldn’t be prouder. The girls are amazing, giving her the 1-2-1 support she needed and making her feel so welcome!🥰🥰🥰

What an absolute wonderful find this place is! Our dog Peggy loves it and so do we. The staff are all friendly and clearly love dogs. They are patient and caring. The photos and videos are a fantastic added bonus. They brighten our day and reassure us that Peggy is happily settled and enjoying her day.

Fletcher loves his days with his friends at daycare, the staff take so much care and are real dog lovers which makes it so much easier knowing he’s in good caring hands. He comes home in the taxi service which again is faultless. I can go to work knowing that our boy is getting looked after and is happy playing with the other dogs.

Fantastic service, lovely staff and a happy dog!

Shoutout to Chloe who Fletcher has been with from day 1, his tail looks like it’s going to wag off when he sees her, lovely girl with a love for dogs and for our boy, thank you.

The team at Whitley Bay Doggy Daycare are superb. They accommodate my people-loving, dog-tolerating pup. She gets playtime, agility time and, her favourite, cuddle-time. And my family love checking out her progress over Instagram!!
I get delivered a happy, knackered puppy at the end of the day ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Can’t recommend Whitley Bay doggy day care centre enough – our puppy Pod absolutely loves it he pulls like a steam train to be in every morning. We really struggled to find a day care that wouldn’t expect Pod neutered by 6 months but the doggy day care centre had other measures in place that allowed him to join the day care and be assessed as an individual which was amazing.

These guys really understand dogs and dog socialisation and always make sure that each dog is getting what they need from their daycare experience. The staff are absolutely lovely and their regular social media updates are super cute but also allow you to see what your pets have been up to throughout the day.

Shakira my 10 month old puppy absolutely loved her first day at doggy day care, the girls are all amazing with the dogs, you can keep an eye on what you pup is up to throughout their day by regular updates on facebook and instagram. She even painted me a picture and brought it home! She was shattered when she got home after playing with her new friends (bonus! 😂) I have booked her in for regular slots now, and cannot recommend them enough.

,Rosie has only been going a few weeks and her social skills with other dogs has come on so much ,she now loves playing with other puppies.The staff are amazing and always seem overjoyed to see Rosie when I drop her off. The videos and pictures you get also is such a good idea and I can see how much fun all the dogs are having. Would recommend and have recommended to other people .The option for half day of full day is another good idea .

Highly recommend the doggy day care centre in Whitley Bay, Eddie has been going since a tiny pup and we have peace of mind that he’s being taken good care of while we’re at work. All of the staff are really friendly and it’s clear from the photo/video updates that Eddie has a great time.

Rhubarb is our 6 month old high energy and friendly golden retriever. Whitley Bay doggy day care centre have been excellent and easy to access – she always comes back knackered from playing with her friends! They are in touch a lot and post lots of updates so I know my pup is having the best time. Will start making use of the pet taxi at work which fits perfectly around our schedule! The team are always friendly when I drop off/pick her up and over the phone. Thanks guys!

Our dog Jess is very nervous of people and new environments but has started attending Whitley Bay Doggy Daycare today and she’s just had the best day! Staff are so supportive and clearly have a real love of animals. The photos of her bounding around, playing with other dogs were so reassuring. I can’t recommend this place enough! 5* ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

Contacted Whitley Bay Doggy Day Care Centre before our weeks holiday there to see if they would have our Labrador Molly for a couple of days while we visited a couple of non dog friendly places.
They couldn’t have been more helpful. Communication was great and everything set up before we arrived.
Molly had the best time and we were constantly kept up to date with txts and pics and videos on social media.
The staff were amazing and so friendly.
Can’t recommend the place highly enough.
Thanks again. Steve,Annmarie and Molly.

We put our 3.5 month Labrador pup in daycare here yesterday as we were both working and because we wanted to get her socialised and used to new environments, and I’m so glad we did. We did some research for other local daycares and this is definitely the best one! They were really flexible with pick up and drop off times whereas other daycares ask you to drop off at a specific time on the dot. When I intitially rang to book Clover in the lady on the phone was so friendly and you could tell she genuinely loved her job. She was really reassuring and explained everything and answered all of my questions so I knew Clover would be safe and happy there. Clover had a morning session first to settle her in, she made lots of friends and even created a piece of art! I think this us such a lovely, friendly and pawfect place to take your dog. She was very well looked after and was worn out when she got home so must have had lots of fun!

What can I say but the staff are lovely and with me not having a car the pick up and drop off has made my life so much easier and my dog Kovu is a very happy boy and value for money as well.
Credit to all staff at Whitley Bay and long may it continue X

We were a little bit nervous about leaving our pup for the first time as she was only just starting to socialise with other dogs. She went for her “trial run” and loved it! Lots of playtime with other pups and cuddles from the staff. She clearly enjoys it judging by the waggy tail when the gate opens upon arrival!

Took my pup to Whitley bay doggy day care to give her a few hours to play and socialise with other dogs. I was so impressed with how easy it was to book in and also change my booking time- the staff were really flexible about this! When she was there, I received a text to let me know how she was doing and saw regular updates on their Facebook page which were just adorable! My girl came home tired from an afternoon of play. Will definitely take her back again!

Henry had his first full day today he has settled great, was a little worried we decided to put him into doggy day care so he could socialise and mix with other dogs as he can get anxious and can be nervous. He has had a great day making new friends 🐶

I felt so confident leaving Cove, our 13 week old puppy with Doggy Day Care and they kept me consistently updated throughout the day with texts and adorable social media posts. Cove came home so confident and we definitely saw an improvement with other dogs! Thank you so much for making our girl so comfortable!

My toy poodle is extremely anxious so I wanted him to meet other dogs and people so I signed up for doggy day care at Whitley Bay. The staff were very helpful and gave me tips to help train my dog as well as them coaching him during the session. I definately saw a difference when I picked him up, I booked him in for another session straight away as he seemed more confident. Great place.

Our puppy has been going to Little Legs Club for the odd day for the past few weeks when my husband and I are not working from home. It is a lifesaver! Chloe and the girls there are so good with him and he absolutely loves it there – he has so much fun and comes home very tired but happy. It has been a great way to socialise him with other young puppies. The regular video and photos uploaded to Instagram mean you can keep an eye on what your pup gets up to throughout the day too! You can really trust your dog is in safe hands there.

Completely put my mind at ease and would 100% recommend them to anyone thinking about put their dogs into day care! My pooch was very happy and made lots of new friends on her first day🥰

Doggy day was recommended and they didn’t disappoint! Lily had a great (& tiring) first day meeting new doggy & human friends. Staff were very friendly and informative before the visit , during and after. Instagram posts are great, I could see the fun Lily was having, which was great and eases any concerns you may have. Lily can’t wait to go back 🐾

After an exciting visit on open day, Doodicus has just come back from his first official stay at Whitley Bay DDCC. He’s absolutely shattered and he LOVED it!
All the team I’ve spoken with and met have been super friendly and helpful, and you can see from the posts on social media that they enjoy looking after the dogs in their care.
Opened at the perfect time for our new puppy, he’s already booked in for his next session. Thank you Chloe for looking after him so well 🥰
