Dog Day Care

COMING EARLY 2024

The day care is situated at the beautiful location of Valley Farm on Seaton Road in Uppingham and we are hoping to be open for business in early 2024. Valley Farm is already home to Unleashed in Uppingham. The day care will operate out of a refurbished barn, which will be insulated to protect against extreme weathers. The barn has direct access to a secure outside area and we will also have access to a fully fenced field where day care dogs will be exercised at least twice a day. Day care dogs will have structured but fun days with us, the plan for the day has been created with the help of a dog behaviourist and includes lots of playtime with like-minded dogs, enrichment, walks, cuddles, fuss and downtime when needed. The aim is to return dogs to their owners at the end of the day clean, tired and happy.

Dog Walking

dog walking

Living in Rutland we are incredibly lucky to be surrounded by beautiful countryside and as a family we like to explore this by finding new walks. We have a list of firm favourites which I would love to share with your four legged friends.

Walks are mainly in the countryside outside of Uppingham and you can choose whether your dog would prefer a group walk to enjoy time socialising with other dogs or a solo walk which will only be your dog or dogs from your household. We also hire the secure field at Unleashed in Uppingham for group walks, the aim is to give your dog a good variety of different experiences. You can also choose if you would like your dog to be kept on the lead or if you are happy for me to let them off. The length of walk booked does not include travel time.

Dog Home Visits

These are perfect for puppies not yet ready to walk far, elderly dogs who are enjoying a well-deserved retirement from walking or perhaps your dog is unwell or recovering from an operation and needs a bit of extra care during the day.

Home visits are normally 30-minutes long and can be completely tailored to your dog. Services typically include cleaning any mess, filling up water bowls, feeding, cuddles, playing, administering medication and a short walk if needed.
