Welcome to Rest & Relaxation Days, the ideal dog care solution for dogs who don’t need or enjoy traditional dog daycare but still benefit from professional supervision during the day. Whether your dog struggles to settle at home, feels nervous around other dogs, or is recovering from surgery and needs extra care while you’re at work, you can enjoy your day knowing they’re safe, comfortable, and well looked after.
We offer a range of cosy crate setups with blankets and fresh water, plus a dedicated relaxation room featuring calming music and aromatherapy, away from the bustle of most dog traffic. For dogs building confidence around other dogs, there’s also the option to observe daycare activities from a comfortable distance, helping them become familiar with the environment at their own pace.
Our experienced team monitors your dog throughout the day, provides regular toilet breaks, and can assist with feeding and medication requirements. That means you can focus on work or your daily commitments with confidence, knowing your dog is receiving attentive, supervised care tailored to their needs.
If you’ve been looking for a dog daycare alternative that offers all the care without the excitement, Rest & Relaxation Days could be the perfect fit. Contact us today to book your dog’s spot and give them a calm, comfortable day while you enjoy complete peace of mind.
In addition to our regular Rest & Relaxation Days, we also offer a half daycare, half rest day option for dogs who benefit from a balance of activity and downtime. This flexible dog care service allows your dog to enjoy the social, enrichment, and exercise benefits of dog daycare while also having dedicated time to relax, recharge, and settle comfortably throughout the day.
This option is ideal for dogs who enjoy daycare but need extra support winding down after the excitement, or for those who benefit from a calm transition before joining group activities. By combining supervised play with structured rest, your dog can enjoy a more comfortable and balanced day tailored to their individual needs, helping them avoid becoming overtired while still making the most of their time with us.
For owners, it means peace of mind knowing your dog is getting the right mix of stimulation and relaxation, rather than spending the entire day on the go. If your dog isn’t suited to a full day of play but you’re still busy with work or other commitments, this service offers the perfect middle ground—keeping them engaged, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away.
Contact us today to find out whether our half daycare, half rest day option is the right fit for your dog and reserve their place.
Not every dog enjoys or benefits from a highly active day. Some dogs prefer a quieter environment, while others may simply need a place to rest comfortably while their owners are at work or managing other commitments.
Our Rest & Relaxation Days are designed for dogs who don’t need the excitement of traditional daycare but still benefit from professional supervision throughout the day. Whether your dog struggles to settle at home alone, is nervous around busy environments, or simply enjoys a calmer pace of life, this service provides a safe and comfortable space where they can relax while being cared for by our experienced team.
For owners, this means peace of mind knowing their dog isn’t spending the day unsupervised and that their individual needs are being catered for in a calm, structured environment.
No. Rest & Relaxation Days are designed to provide a comfortable, low-pressure environment rather than simply housing dogs for the day.
Dogs have access to cosy crate setups with blankets and fresh water, regular breaks to toilet and stretch their legs, and ongoing supervision from our team (which sometimes includes sneaky cuddles). If you are uncomfortable with your dog being in a crate, we have comfortable beds on tether points for them to settle at instead.
There is also a dedicated relaxation room featuring calming music and aromatherapy, providing a quiet space away from most dog traffic. The goal is to create an environment where dogs can genuinely settle and relax rather than remaining constantly stimulated.
Many owners worry that their dog will be bored without constant activity, but for dogs that benefit from downtime, a calm and predictable day can be exactly what they need. Instead of returning home overstimulated or unsettled, owners can look forward to picking up a dog that has spent the day resting comfortably and being attentively cared for.
Yes. Rest & Relaxation Days can be a great option for dogs who are uncomfortable in busy dog environments or who prefer their own space. The service is specifically designed to provide a quieter alternative while still allowing dogs to be professionally supervised throughout the day.
For dogs that are building confidence around other dogs, there is the option to observe daycare activities from a comfortable distance. This allows them to become familiar with the environment at their own pace without being placed into situations they may find overwhelming.
Owners often feel torn between leaving their dog home alone or placing them into an environment that may be too much for them. Rest & Relaxation Days provide a middle ground, offering care, supervision, and comfort while respecting the individual needs and personality of each dog.
Many owners find themselves worrying about what their dog does all day while they’re at work. Some dogs pace, remain alert to every noise, or struggle to switch off and relax. Our Rest & Relaxation Days provide a structured environment where dogs can spend the day resting comfortably under professional supervision.
With dedicated rest areas, regular care, and a predictable routine, the service is designed around helping dogs enjoy a calm day while their owners attend to work and other commitments. Dogs often thrive on routine and predictability, and having a consistent place to relax can help create a more settled day overall.
For owners, this means less time wondering how their dog is coping at home and more confidence knowing they are safe, comfortable, and being looked after.
Our Half Daycare, Half Rest Day option is designed for dogs who benefit from a balance of activity and downtime. Some dogs enjoy the social and enrichment opportunities that daycare provides but also benefit from dedicated time to unwind and recharge.
This service combines both experiences, allowing dogs to enjoy structured activity as well as supervised rest throughout the day. For owners, it can be reassuring to know their dog isn’t spending the entire day either playing or resting, but instead receiving a balance tailored to their needs.
This option is particularly appealing for dogs who enjoy being involved but may benefit from extra support settling after exciting activities. The result is a more balanced day that prioritises both engagement and relaxation.
Yes. Our team can assist with feeding and medication requirements as part of your dog’s day with us. This can be particularly valuable for owners who work long hours or whose dogs require additional care and supervision during the day.
Knowing that your dog’s routine can be maintained while you’re away helps remove much of the stress associated with leaving them at home. Whether your dog requires medication, scheduled meals, or simply extra attention due to their circumstances, our goal is to provide attentive care throughout the day.
This allows owners to focus on work, appointments, and other responsibilities with confidence, knowing their dog is safe, comfortable, and being looked after by experienced staff.
The goal of Rest & Relaxation Days is to provide dogs with a safe, comfortable environment where they can genuinely rest and relax while receiving professional care. Owners may notice improvements such as a better ability to self-settle, calmer behaviour around people and dogs, greater comfort resting in a crate, and a dog that appears calm and well-rested after their day.
For many owners, one of the biggest benefits is the peace of mind that comes from knowing their dog has spent the day in a supportive environment rather than being left alone or struggling to settle. Instead of rushing home wondering how their dog has coped, they can collect a dog that has been supervised, cared for, and given the opportunity to enjoy a calm and comfortable day.
