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

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

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

'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

‘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

' 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

As an outdoorsy person, spending my days surrounded by dogs is the perfect job for me. I love getting to know each dog’s unique personality and enjoy working with all breeds, although German Shepherds and Ridgebacks will always hold a special place in my heart. I’m currently studying for a Level 3 Diploma in Canine Care, Behaviour and Welfare, which allows me to further develop my knowledge and passion for canine wellbeing.

Syd

'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

'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

I have been with Dog Days Adventure for over a year now and can honestly say I have enjoyed every single day! There are so many wonderful 4 legged characters within our day care family who bring plenty of fun and diversity; each day really is an adventure. The team are incredibly passionate in caring for all the pets and a good time is had by all. 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. I have shared my home over the years with a variety of dogs, including a Rottweiler, a Collie X, Labrador, Dachshund and currently Stan, my cheeky Jack Russell, who I have had now for 14 years. I feel at home here and seeing how the dogs thrive and interact reflects the benefit of spending their time with us

Abi

Working with dogs everyday is the most rewarding job. From their excited wags and wiggles every morning, playing and running around during the day to getting all of the cuddles during down time.

I am the social media manager at DDA and LOVE creating all of the dog centred content, making funny TikTok’s, creating our photoshoot backdrops and taking the cutest photos to share with our clients. It’s the part of my job that brings me so much joy!

My favourite breed seems to always change but I tend to sway towards the more intelligent breeds. I love how they know what you’re saying and can do all of the fun tricks. I also love that they usually have a cheeky side as they use their intelligence to outwit you!

I have a 11 year old Jack Russell cross at home who fueled my initial love for dogs and have recently added a sprocker called Stevie to the family who joins me at daycare for all of the fun.

Dominika

'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

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

I’ve always loved being around dogs and enjoy getting to know all their different personalities. Working in dog daycare allows me to combine that passion with hands-on care, making sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, happy, and loved while they’re away from home. I enjoy spending my days supervising playtime, building trust with nervous dogs, and helping energetic pups burn off steam in a fun and positive environment. There’s nothing better than seeing dogs excited to come in each day and knowing I’ve helped make their time enjoyable.

Joanna

I have always loved dogs and being outdoors so this is the perfect job for me. The dogs have so much fun at daycare and we’re lucky to be able to take them swimming in the summer. With so many breeds with different personalities it’s hard to choose my favourite but it’s a close call between bulldogs, cockapoos and labradors.

Sarah

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

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

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

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

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

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.
