The Team
Cindy
Owner
Dog Days Adventure was started in 2011 after 8 years of dog walking experience, and a lifetime experience of growing up with a menagerie of animals!
Setting up and developing the daycare centre has been amazing! It is great to see so many breeds and sizes of dogs socialising together and enjoying their day care days with us. Our team are fantastic and are always around to make sure each dog gets individual attention throughout the day and they (and we) think it’s a pretty cool place to work.
Living in Surbiton with two rescue dogs, Lexi (Kokoni cross from Cyprus) and Chico (Chihuahua), as well as 3 rescue cats. This leaves just enough room for a husband and two sons!... and don't forget about the horse, Fleur!
Always being asked "which is your favourite breed... I have to say "Rescue" or "dog". Although I am quite partial to smaller breeds as they are the cheekiest, Chico being no exception!"
Heidi
Daycare Supervisor and Team Leader
Heidi is our Day care Supervisor.
'I love working at doggy day care as no day is ever the same. Always surrounded by lots of great dogs with different personalities and doing different activities with them. It’s great seeing how dogs develop in confidence and form friendships.
At home I have one dog, Poppy - a Lakeland x Patterdale terrier.
My favourite breed of dog is the Collie for its intelligence and loyalty'.
Christine
Area Manager Woking
Christine is our Area Manager in Woking and is responsible for all our lovely dogs in Woking, Send and Ripley.
She has a magic touch and brings order into everything we do at daycare!
‘It’s great playing with all the dogs and seeing what a lovely time they have. Where else can you go to work and get such a warm welcome with all the dogs running to see you! I love labradors but have a soft spot for spaniels’
Ian
Team Leader and Driver
'I love working with dogs young and old, it's so rewarding. All the breeds, whatever their size develop, play and gain confidence. And being outdoors is great.
My favourite dog is the beagle, for their lovable but naughty and independent nature.'
Owen
Driver and Daycare Assistant
‘I have worked for Dog Days Adventure for quite some time and am always amazed at the different breeds that come to day care. They all have their quirks and distinct personalities. I have a labrador called Woody and must say they are my favourite breed!’
Ben
Driver and Daycare Assistant
' I love dogs and always have done. At Dog Days Adventure I am part of a brilliant team who ensure that every dog who spends the day is well looked after. The dogs always find a way to raise a smile and keep me on my toes. My favourite breed is the Weimaraner as they can be goofy'.
Leanna
Driver and Daycare Assistant
'I’ve always been an outdoorsy person, so getting to spend my days outside with dogs is a dream come true. I love how every pup has their own quirky personality and adore all breeds for their unique charms—but I have a soft spot for German Shepherds and Ridgebacks!'
Syd
Driver and Daycare Assistant
'I love working at daycare as all dogs have such unique personalities and have so much love to give. Seeing the dogs have so much fun makes even the rainy days full of sunshine. My favourite breed of dog is the German Shepherd as they are so loyal, but I have a soft spot for rescue dogs as they are very loving.'
Alex
Driver and Daycare Assistant
'Dogs have always held a special place in my heart! I'm genuinely passionate about connecting with every dog, no matter their breed or size, and discovering their unique quirks and personalities. My own dog, Ruby, often joins me and loves to meet and make friends.'
Lezanne
Driver and Daycare Assistant
Having left veterinary practice after more than 35 years, joining Dog Days Adventure was the perfect opportunity for me to continue working with dogs; my favourite animals.
The variety of dogs we see each day, with all their different personalities and traits, makes every day a pleasure to be among them. It’s a real privilege to be able to spend my days among a fantastic group of pets and an amazing, passionate team who clearly have a real love for their job; shown in the excitement the dogs show when they are with us.
I have shared my home over the years with a variety of dogs, including a Rottweiler, a Collie X, Labradors, Dachshund, and currently Stan, my cheeky Jack Russell, who I have had now for 13 years.
Abi
Driver and Daycare Assistant
'I've always had a massive passion for dogs. This was solidified when I took my dog to agility classes for years. Working at Dog Days, I really enjoy meeting all of the different personality types of the dogs, especially finding the quirky ones!
Working with dogs is my dream and I'm very lucky to be a part of such a great dog-loving team. My favourite breed is a Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever, but this always seems to change!"
Dominika
Daycare Assistant
'Working at day care is the highlight of my week. I don't have a favourite dog breed, I love them all as I think that all breeds have their own special personality and characteristics. I capture dogs in my artwork and there's always a constant source of inspiration.'
Blaine
Driver and Daycare Assistant
I spend my days caring for and playing with a wide variety of dogs, making sure they feel safe, happy, and well looked after. My role includes supervising playtime, helping with feeding routines, and giving each dog the attention they need to thrive while they’re away from home.
What I enjoy most about my job is building trust with the dogs and seeing their personalities come out as they grow more comfortable. There’s nothing better than being greeted by wagging tails and excited faces every day—it makes the work incredibly rewarding!
Zoe
Driver and Daycare Assistant
'Dogs are the best thing in the world! I love watching them play and interact and they are such happy little individuals (some not so little!).
Every day at DDA is different. I work with a fantastic team - all dedicated to the dogs and their care.
I have a crazy toy cockapoo called Figgy and a cuddly cavapoo pup, Nugget. Both absolutely love it at Dog Days!
I grew up with a standard poodle, which would explain my love for all things doodle. They are incredibly intelligent and loyal - and get bonus points for not covering the house in fur :)'
Joanna
Driver and Daycare Assistant
'I love collecting the dogs every morning to drive to daycare, they are always so excited to be spending the day running around with their mates. They all have such different personalities and are always up for a cuddle. My faves are bulldogs, terriers and cockapoos'
Sarah
Driver and Daycare Assistant
I have always had a huge love for dogs and love spending time with them. I love getting to know each dogs individual personality making sure they are happy, safe and cared for while they’re with us. Working with dogs is incredibly rewarding and I’m lucky to do something I love every day. I enjoy seeing the dogs having fun, making new friends and watching their confidence grow!
Leo
Driver and Daycare Assistant
I have worked with dogs for many years and I have my own golden retriever called Olive! I love working with dogs, they just love you no matter what! It is a very rewarding job and it never feels like a job!
Steph
Driver and Daycare Assistant
After swapping the whistle and sports hall for wagging tails and muddy paws, I’ve taken my skills from the classroom to the world of doggy day care. As a former PE teacher, I spent years motivating students, organising controlled chaos and keeping everyone moving—rain or shine.
They say you should never work with children or animals… so naturally, I built a career out of both.
A lifelong dog lover and dog mum of yogi, an Australian Labradoodle, I’ve always felt most at home surrounded by four-legged friends. Yogi has only strengthened that passion, inspiring me to turn what I love into what I do every day.
Now working as a doggy day care driver, I spend my days transporting a lively crew of furry passengers to and from their adventures—safely, efficiently, and with plenty of personality along the way. It’s less “quiet at the back” and more “who’s a good dog?” over a soundtrack of happy barking.
Same skills, different crowd—just furrier, muddier, and, most of the time, better listeners.
Rosie
Driver and Daycare Assistant
I’ve always loved dogs. At home I have a cockapoo called Ruby (who can be super needy). The best part of the job is collecting the dogs as they get so excited to see me and get to daycare!
I love working with dogs as when I was little I dreamed of becoming a vet, so working at Dogdays has fulfilled that dream to work with dogs and it’s fun getting to know all their different personalities.
Becca
Daycare Assistant
I’ve never met a dog I didn't want to befriend! Dogs have always been my favourite animal since I can remember. They are so unique and funny in their own ways! I love working at Dog Days as I get to see all types of dogs and their personalities. I love seeing them come in and run off to find their friends, it’s truly amazing! I have a beagle called Patch who adores coming to work with me!
Katie
Daycare Assistant
I’ve always been the biggest dog person and have been around them all my life. I love every dog breed but my favourite has to be Labradors. I love working at DDA since no dog is the same and all have different personalities. I love the welcome you get in the morning from all the dogs no matter rain or shine. I am so lucky to work with an amazing team of people and of course all the dogs.
