Our Team

We make it our business to get to know your dog

We are super proud of our team chosen for their experience, qualifications and caring temperaments. As we are open 7.30am to 6.30pm, we run a morning and afternoon shift ensuring plenty of energy, nurturing and attention for the dogs in our care throughout the day.

Dog and staff safety is at the forefront of our business. 

All our team are Doggy Daycare Certified in dog socialisation, behaviour, canine first aid and CPR. Everyone goes through a 3-6 month induction and training is ongoing.

Our training includes:-

  • health and safety
  • standard operating procedures
  • canine body language
  • dog play styles
  • enrichment training
  • canine behaviour for safe socialisation
  • learning positive distraction to keep the dogs really safe and calm

Our vast experience working with different dog breeds, sizes and personalities ensures that your dog will be well cared for. If we feel they are struggling, we’ll suggest they attend confidence building sessions with our resident animal behaviourist, or join our training classes. The welfare of the dogs under our care is paramount!

Owners often comment on their dog’s improved behaviour and socialisation skills since attending regular daycare. With gentle guidance from our team and the other dogs, they are learning all the time they are with us.

Dog lovers all

Don't just take our word for it

"I have been using Doggy Daycare since my dog was three months old and he absolutely loves it! I think it has been so important to socialise him with other dogs from a young age and all of the staff at Rags & Bert’s are very helpful and friendly. He also stays overnight in the dog hotel on occasions which has been really useful. "

Alexandra Harris and Vincent

"Rags & Bert's is an amazingly friendly place where my dog loves to spend her days! Everyone really cares about the dogs and they put lots of work into making sure the dogs in their care are enriched and stimulated, while making sure they get rest."

Michelle Chismon and Auri

"As soon as we arrive, Dylan doesn’t look back for me - he has no hesitation about going in. His behaviour tells me he loves it there with Julia and the team. I never worry about him as I know he is loved and cared for just like he is at home. "

Hannah Doherty and Dylan

"Once we say ‘shall we go to Rags & Bert's?’ he does not leave my side! We know he is saying C’mon let’s go! He is as excited to meet his humans there as he is to meet his friends! Once home he sleeps like a dog who has had the ‘Best Day Ever’ every time. "

Amanda B. and Murphy

"The staff are wonderful, the environment is fantastic for socialising all types of dogs together in a fun environment with complete monitoring and engagement by the staff with the dogs and they come home happy and tired - just perfect."

Lynn Cordell, Alfie and Dexter

"We have a rather nervous dog who gets scared around new people and new dogs. We signed him up for Confidence Building with Tom who was incredible. He went for his first session of daycare recently and absolutely loved it. The staff were friendly and caring, listened to my concerns and reassured me when I needed it."
