Dorchester’s first ever day care centre built just for dogs!
Be part of the pack at Joey’s and your dog can enjoy the day exploring our adventure park with their friends. Take a dip in the splash pool, relax in the sensory garden, jump into the giant ball pit or simply have a snooze in one of our air-conditioned cabins. The team provide constant supervision, plenty of cuddles and treats as well as regular games and activities throughout the day.
STRICT ENTRY ASSESSMENT
The well-being of our canine guests is our top priority. This is why we visit all new dogs at home before they are invited to join the pack. We’ll complete a comprehensive behaviour evaluation to ensure only friendly, sociable dogs that are suited to day care are accepted.
SET IN ACRES OF COUNTRYSIDE
Our specially designed environment will provide a safe place for your dog to explore whilst providing lots of fun, social interaction, play & development. Fully secure with air conditioned cabins, splash pools, ball pits, sensory garden, platforms & games throughout the day.
PICK-UP / DROP-OFF SERVICE
Our Doggie Bus offers a safe, comfortable & convenient Pick-up & Drop-off service to ensure maximum play time at the centre. No need to worry about muddy paws on the sofa either, our on-site shower means we can provide a warm wash & towel dry before heading home.
FULLY TRAINED STAFF
Our dedicated team are committed to providing the best possible care for your dog. All staff have certifications in Canine First Aid as well as Dog Behaviour. Our relationship with a number of Local Veterinary Practices ensures a veterinary professional is always on hand.
We understand that dogs are not just pets...
Set in the glorious West Dorset countryside, a specially built canine paradise, where all friendly dogs are welcome; no matter how big or small.
Hectic work schedules and busy family lives make it increasingly difficult to find the time to provide your dog with the right balance of exercise, play & socialisation.
That’s exactly why Joey’s Doggie Day Care was built, to offer not just a walk in the park but a whole day of fun.

All staff complete dog behavior and canine specific first aid certifications
Excellent Staff-to-dog ratio
Even when fully booked, we never exceed more than 10 dogs to every carer
Strict Entrance Criteria

Purpose built for dogs
Fully secure, heated log cabins, quiet areas, splash pool, sensory garden, agility & daily activities
A FULL DAY PACKED WITH FUN

Please note - All new dogs will be required to pass an initial behaviour assessment. This is to ensure only friendly, sociable dogs are accepted and also provides the opportunity to understand their personality and whether your dog would be suited to day care. The enrolment assessment costs £20, please visit the 'About Us' section for more information.
Day Care Costs
A minimum one day per week commitment is required. We operate on a fixed monthly membership fee which guarantees your dog's place on a regular day/s per week. As we are closed between Christmas and New Year, this fee is calculated over a 51 week period and divided into equal monthly installments. All prices include a Pick-up & Drop-off service and VAT.
