Why Choose Acres 4 Dogs for Daycare?

Don’t ask us... See what our clients say

I have a very small 1.8kg puppy that will never get bigger than around 2.5kg as a fully grown dog. Despite being a very small puppy, I was keen he feel confident around other dogs from a young age, and that's where Acres4Dogs have been so crucial for me. Pick up and drop off works like clockwork, and Harriett (always the same driver) is lovely with tiny Tim. James and Sarah in the office checked in regularly with me during the first month, as Tim quickly became used to the day routine. During his first month at A4D, Tim become noticeably more confident around other dogs on our own walks, despite his tiny size. I loved that (during his first month there) A4D sent videos / photos of Tim in the grassy play areas, romping around with other dogs his size, so that I could see for myself how he was gaining confidence and interacting with the other dogs. Tim always comes home happy and tired. Very very pleased with my first month at Dogs4Acres. You get the sense A4D genuinely care for your dog's welfare and happiness. Thanks guys.
Can’t praise the Acres crew enough. Nelly can’t wait to get there and they keep me informed of her days. New owners so we were a bit nervous but the team keep in touch all along the way and always pick up if I need anything - especially as WFH dwindles 😏 Thanks all x
We've been using Acres 4 Dogs daycare for both of our dogs and have been very pleased with our experience. Our pups always come back tired, which tells us they've had plenty of playtime and exercise. Our dogs seem to enjoy their time there, and we feel comfortable leaving them in the care of the daycare staff. The management's communication is always prompt and clear, which we greatly appreciate. Overall, our experience has been only positive, and we're happy with the service provided.
Our Golden Retriever loves Acres4Dogs and seeing her friends! We have been very impressed with them since we first went to check them out. James was very patient with my many questions about the whole setting and staff qualifications / training / ethos. They followed up her initial settling in sessions with phone calls checking in on how we were finding it and letting us know she was getting on. Photos of her 'having her best life' are great to receive. I know they will call us if they have any concerns at any point. If she is unable to come any week (in season/ unwell/ we're away) we can ask to move a session to another day that week if there is space, or 'bank' it to be used within a month. This is a massive positive for us. So in summary, we are very happy to send our dog here and have been impressed with the whole set up!
Lovely staff and very caring. My 5 month old puppy has been going to Acres since August this year. She really loves all the play and it’s been a great start for her to have lots of interaction with other dogs. It’s a massive weight off my mind to know she is so well cared for when I’m out at work. Great communication and updates too!
We've been sending our young pup to Acres 4 Dogs for the past couple of month now, and I couldn't be happier with the experience! The pickup process is always smooth, and he clearly enjoys his time there—he's always excited to go and comes home happy and tired. The staff are friendly and attentive, and communication is always great. I'd highly recommend Acres 4 Dogs for anyone looking for a great daycare for their furry friend!
A really great daycare! Our pup Tui loves her days at Acres. The staff are all friendly, dedicated and more than happy to help. Really focused on the welfare of the dogs. The pick up and drop off service is also brilliant.
When the driver rings the bell every morning, Loki starts crying out of excitement for us to open the door so he can see his friend. We were unsure in the beginning if he would like to be away from his humans, but they’ve helped him adapt to the new environment and now he loves it!We super recommend Acres4dogs and Loki does too 🐶
Our young boy has settled in very nicely. He's now in with some bigger dogs as he's quite energetic and can cope with them and I expect they are teaching him some respect too! Acres is a great service for us too as it gives us a break from keeping an eye on what he's getting up to. Lovely people who care.
My golden retriever puppy has been attending for about a month now and he absolutely loves it.. he goes in with a very wagging tail and comes home and sleeps for hours after an exhausting day! The staff are all lovely and keep you up to date with he's progress and photos. He has become a lot more confident in himself with playing with other puppies and he enjoys the whole day. I cannot fault Acres 4 dogs for the care and attention they have given Buddy and recommend to anyone who needs doggy daycare!
Have had a great experience with our new puppy going to daycare here: having a great time, developing his confidence and making new friends. The staff are super helpful and friendly too - we know he is in good hands.
We have been sending our dog to Acres 4 Dogs for a few months now after having an issue with another local doggy day care. The site itself is lovely, very secure, clean and interesting for the dogs. He goes on the doggy bus each day and seems to thoroughly enjoy it. He is much more relaxed and happy when he gets home than before which is a good sign too. The team have been in regular contact checking in on how everything has been going and have been really communicative. We also get regular photos and videos from the days he is at the day care which is lovely to see. Would definitely recommend!
We are very happy with Acres 4 Dogs. Great pick up / drop off and the team is helpful, responsive and communicative. Our very energetic pup loves her daycare days and we love seeing the photos and videos of her having fun!
Acres 4 Dogs have been exceptional from day one. All staff members put you at ease knowing that your dog will be looked after. Colin has been going for over a month now and comes back tired and less anxious when left alone for a couple of hours. A very happy dog. Thanks to all the team, with a special shoutout to Lee.
Our puppy absolutely loves going to Acres, she has made many friends, loves the fun bus and we are thrilled with the service.
My dog, Daisy, has recently started daycare for the first time, and had been very anxious initially. As was I letting her go off for the day so that I could get back into the work office! The team at Acres 4 Dogs have been fully supportive and helped her to settle in and enjoy herself! Early morning pick ups and drop off in the 'taxi' van has been great, with the friendly staff helping to make Daisy feel at ease. Great communications and follow ups from the team throughout to share how things are going during the daycare, and easy to deal with changes etc needed with stay dates. Hoping to be able to try Daisy with the overnight stays soon now that she is comfortable and happy with the whole experience. Thanks!!
Having previously had our dog in another popular daycare we couldn’t be happier with Acres 4 Dogs and the team there! Our dog adores them, they are so accommodating and nothing is too much trouble. You can tell they love every dog like their own and make the biggest effort to ensure every dog has the best day every time. The booking and payment process with them is seamless, and they are always contactable and really responsive if you have questions. The drivers are always so friendly and it’s lovely to get to know them and know who your dog is spending their time with! We’d absolutely recommend Acres to anyone looking for a reliable and safe daycare that your dog will enjoy every minute at.
Acres for dogs is completely fantastic. Our show cocker spaniel, Sydney, had been at a smaller daycare and had been deemed too much for other dogs in that one, so we were really looking for a place set up for a high energy, high anxiety dog that needs lots of attention and enrichment while also being very playful and desperate to play with other dogs.Acres has lots of pens, set up to group dogs of similar ages, temperaments and energy levels.The fun bus, collection and drop off service adds to the convenience of the set up, and Syd is always so excited and hops right in when he is being collected to go to “school”.Their staff are incredibly friendly, knowledgable and calm. They are communicative and kind, and we feel lucky that Syd is in the hands of people who know how to, and have the size of facility to adjust the care to suit the dog they are looking after. We couldn’t recommend them highly enough.
Superb service from Acres for Dogs. I have total confidence leaving my puppy in their excellent care. Socialising with other dogs has made him more confident, he's learning boundaries and is so much better off the lead. Highly recommend.
We have a very anxious dog and were a little resistant to whether doggy daycare would be a good fit for him as he has always avoided other people and other dogs (he is a rescue). I called acres for Dogs just to enquire and was reassured that we could do a trial period and they quite often have other anxious dogs that attend who benefit. Our pup has now attended for 6 weeks and I cannot tell you how much this socialisation has benefitted him, he has gained so much confidence already in and outside of daycare and is really flourishing. The facilities are well kept and the staff are absolutely amazing, I cannot thank them enough! They are all incredibly friendly and helpful and you can see they genuinely care about every dog that goes to daycare. They take great care of the dogs and the communication is great with regular photos and updates. Thank you!
A little nervous at first, but Zara seems to love Acres4dogs now.The team have been great throug the whole process - pick up, drop off, pictures on Dropbox, and continued communication from James throughout.Would highly recommend.
Acres 4 Dogs has been a great experience for Isla, it has made her overall more confident and less anxious around other dogs in the park. At first she was very nervous but the carers were very gentle and reassuring and now she sprints to the door when they arrive. They have also been very flexible with arrangements, so that they suit mine and my hsuband’s working schedules which has been a life saver. Couldn’t recommend them enough!
Alfie loves his weekly outing - enjoys socializing with the other dogs and comes home tired but happy. Very impressed with the attentive and reliable service. Highly recommend 👍🏻
Our pup loves Acres4Dogs - always runs in happily! The facilities are fab with the outdoor & indoor space. Staff are always polite & friendly. Drop off & pick ups are always smooth. The communication has also been great and we love the photos they send to us where we can see our pups having fun, socializing & having a good run around!
Our whippet Wilma has been coming to Acres 4 Dogs for the past two months. She has absolutely loved her time there so far! She was initially so nervous about being left in a new place, but now she cannot wait to get to doggy day care. She is always so tired and content afterwards. We are delighted to have chosen Acres 4 Dogs and will continue to use indefinitely! James and the team are so friendly and helpful. Comms have always been efficient and so reassuring. Thanks so much!
Acres for Dogs has been a real positive addition to our weekly routine. Our 8 month old puppy leaves the house with a wagging tail and returns as happy yet suitably exhausted each time. She has gained invaluable social skills which I can really notice on our daily walks and in her interactions with other dogs. Acres are excellent communicators and seems so very happy to have her.
My 7 month old pup has the best time at Acres 4 Dogs daycare, his confidence has grown around other dogs and it has really helped with his socialisation. The facilities are great, and the staff are wonderful, you can tell they really care about the dogs in their care and enjoying being with them. Communication with the team has been great from the first enquiry, we would highly recommend to anyone looking for doggy daycare in the area.
Bruce has settled in really well at his doggy day care! The staff are fantastic - they're caring, attentive, and truly dedicated to making sure each dog feels at home. The place is very well organised, and the facilities are top-notch. We totally trust them with Bruce's care. Highly recommend!
Our puppy loves his time at Acres! Communication is fabulous and pick up/ drop off is seamless! We're so glad we moved to Acres and feel our pup is far calmer and happier in his new daycare.
We would not use any other doggy day care! The absolute best! James, Bryan, Becca and all the team are fantastic! Our nearly 3 yr old black lab absolutely loves her one day a week, her tail starts wagging as soon as she hears the A4D van turn up! The lovely team who collect her are super too, warm , friendly. Whenever we need urgent care, James responds immediately. Couldn’t do without this amazing team! Thank you A4D! ❤️
Such a great space for me to send my pup! The facilities are amazing and the staff are great, they regularly check in to make sure me and the pup are happy and I enjoy being sent pics and videos. Highly recommended 👌🏼
Our lovely Lulu couldn’t be happier! Fields, friends and food. Just what a dog loves!
Acres 4 Dogs have been very professional and welcoming to our pup Ziggy. They invited us all down to see the facilities and made sure we were comfortable with the set up. The facilities are very good with plenty of different spaces to make sure there is a field that your dog fits into. Everyone who works there appears capable, confident and pleasant. Ziggy comes home exhausted which shows what a good time he has. We could not be happier!
My dog has recently started going to Acres 4 Dogs, he is quite a nervous dog in new situations and as soon as he got there he was excited and not nervous at all. The people are lovely and really helpful that work there,they are also really good with Mylo and give me regular updates. Mylo absolutely loves it and comes back knackered after a day of playing. I would highly recommend to anyone :)
Vinnie my lively 2 year old Vizsla loves going to Acres for dogs and comes back absolutely knackered after his days there. Lee his driver is very friendly and you can see adores his passengers. Great facilities and people who work here are fantastic.
A lovely day out for my beloved girl. Everyone here has been lovely, and the pick up and drop off have been a huge help.My girl comes home happy and tired, just as she should be.I would definitely recommend these good people!
My yorkie Lily absolutely loves going to Acres 4 Dogs. She is a confident little girl so is in complete heaven playing with all her new friends. I don't even get a backwards glance now when I drop her off as she's so excited to start playing. I am sent super pics of her by email and am really happy that I found A4D. I would recommend them to anyone who is considering daycare.
My 1 year old goldendoodle has the best time at daycare. He's always exhausted the following day too which feels like I'm getting 2 days for the price of 1.The team at Acres 4 Dogs are very thorough too, calling regularly to make sure we are happy with the service.Highly recommendMy only suggestion: I would love if they did "pupdates" like some other places. I got photos of him when he first joined but I do love the occasional picture! (This is just a personal opinion, I know some people wouldn't want this 😊)Thanks James and team!
Our Labrador Jack has been going to Acres for Dogs since April and can't wait to get into the van when he is collected each time.Jack loves socialising with other dogs and photos taken show he has a really great time there. He always comes back happy and ready to chill after playing with all his friends.
Acres 4 Dogs is a fabulous doggy day care centre that we use on a weekly basis for our floof pup Mila. They have gone above & beyond to not only make sure Mila is comfortable and happy, but us as owners too. Their doggy bus service is great and we know from her snoozes post-fun that Mila has a fabulous time there! Would 10/10 recommend to a friend!
Very happy with Acres 4 dogs. Really good with our very nervous dog getting him into the van, running around all day and safely back! Would recommend to anyone.
Our little dog started going to Acres 4 Dogs a few months ago and seems to be loving it! She’s so excited when we drop her off and loves the staff who all engage well with her and treat her like she’s one of their own.
My puppy has been going to Acres for Dogs one day per week for a couple of months now and is starting to settle in nicely. The staff are really friendly and really care for the dogs well being. Marley has separation anxiety and the team have been really supportive. I can not fault their dedication. The facilities are well looked after and clean.
Our Cavapoo puppy Pip has been going to Acres4Dogs one day a week for a month and we would recommend it to anyone! Pip seems to be loving it, he happily goes off into the doggy bus (which has also cured his car sickness - bonus!) and is still happy and also tired when he comes home.The team are so good at answering my over protective dog mum questions and regularly send photos. I love that the team offer over night stays in their home - it shows how much they love what they do and our fur babies. Photos taken of Pip at Acres4Dogs.
Love Acres 4 Dogs! Our sweet Lagotto is a nervous pup, but with lots of love and attention from the team, she is settled in happily. She went from hiding upstairs to waiting impatiently for Curtis to arrive!! Cannot say enough positive about this group!❤️❤️❤️
We have been sending our golden retriever puppy to Acres twice a week for 4 months and couldn’t be happier with their service. It has been so smooth and they’ve been so helpful, responsive and accommodating. Our puppy is clearly so happy there and gets lots of activity and fun things to do (I really enjoy seeing it all on the Instagram even on days she’s not in). We feel that she’s really well looked after. We also love her driver who picks her up and drops her off each day - he’s so good with her, fills us in on everything and shows us videos of her in the paddock and he’s just a very positive presence.
Everyone is so welcoming and friendly!My dog absolutely loves going, runs straight in to see everyone and doesn’t turn back to say bye to us at all 😄
