Dog care services at Delaval Daycare

Booking starts with a quick chat, so just get in touch through our contact page or give us a call and tell us a little about your dog and what you need. We will then arrange a free assessment so we can meet your dog before any regular care begins. Once we have met and you are happy, we will confirm dates, times and everything else when you book.

Yes, the assessment is completely free and there is no obligation to book afterwards. It is a relaxed meeting where we get to know your dog, see how they get on with our team and a small group, and show you around. It also gives you the chance to ask anything and decide whether we feel like the right fit for you and your dog.

We are based in Seghill, NE23, and welcome dogs from across the wider area including Cramlington, Seaton Delaval, North Tyneside and the surrounding parts of Northumberland and the North East. Many of our families travel a short distance because they are looking for small group, personal care. If you are not sure whether you are close enough, just ask and we will let you know.

We keep our groups small and matched by size and temperament, so your dog gets genuine attention rather than being one of a crowd. Our team is first aid trained, we are fully insured, and we have outdoor play space and calm rest areas so dogs come home happy and tired. With a 4.9 star Google rating from local families, our focus is always on a safe, friendly, home from home feel.

Daycare is a structured full or half day of play, walks and rest while you are out, and boarding is an overnight stay in the same familiar home setting. Dog sitting is the flexible option for shorter absences or irregular hours, and can be one to one or in a small group. Unlike a traditional kennel block, every option with us means familiar faces, a proper routine and company rather than long hours alone in a pen.

Yes, we are a fully insured business and we take welfare and licensing seriously, because your dog's safety always comes first. Dog boarding is licensed by the local council under animal welfare regulations, and we are happy to talk you through how we meet those standards. You are always welcome to ask about our cover and how we run things before you book.

Yes, our carers are first aid trained and experienced in reading canine body language, so they notice early when a dog needs a rest, some space or reassurance. Keeping numbers small means there are always enough eyes on the dogs throughout the day. If you would like to know more about our team and how we supervise, just get in touch.

We ask that every dog is up to date with their core vaccinations and, because dogs mix in groups, the kennel cough (bordetella) vaccine as well. We will check your vaccination record before your dog starts, so please bring it to the assessment. If anything is due, get it arranged in good time so it has taken effect before the first session or stay.
