Welcome to our Happy Place!

Joey's is a Doggie Day Care with a difference! We're dedicated to providing the ultimate happy place for dogs of all shapes and sizes. Somewhere safe to spend the day with friends, explore the natural environment and enjoy their favourite pawsome activities.

A whole day of fun!

Get paws moving, learn, play & make new friends. A great opportunity to engage in natural dog behaviours like digging, searching, sniffing and exploring. What could be better than spending the entire day with your besties!

Who is Joey?

Joey was our beautiful Jack russell terrier who inspired us to follow our dream of building our very own Doggie Day Care! His memory lives on with every belly rub, tail wag and snuggle - he's at the heart of everything we do.

Testimonials

  • Millie running in the grass at Joey's

    Rohan Scott

    Tom and Sara are fantastic! They have worked so hard to create a safe, fun and entertaining environment for dogs- and provide an amazing service. Nothing else in Dorchester like it! There are big outside areas for the dogs to play in, cabins with little bed areas and lots of things to keep the dogs entertained like the huge ball pool and interactive garden. The team are so kind and caring, and truly understand dogs. Thank you Joey’s!

  • Freda enjoying the sensory garden

    Zena Olney

    Peace of mind as an owner; happy, contented dog; stimulating, safe environment; positive socialisation and play are only SOME of the aspects of my own dog, Freda, attending Joey’s Doggie Day Care. Tom and Sara have created such a fab facility and I am 110% happy with all of their care, attentiveness and knowledge. Thank you for this provision (thanks too on behalf of Freda).

  • Erik smiling at Doggie Day Care

    Clancy Hammond

    Our boy Erik (Pointer) absolutely loves Joey's. We moved down from Maidenhead in December 19 and were looking to match the amazing day care he went to there & were concerned about him going to a “new school” but we needn’t have been. Joey’s is absolutely amazing. It’s like a Go Ape for dogs with beds for the dogs to sleep, showers, relaxing music, the list is endless. It’s a cut above. We trust them to look after Erik like he was their own. Couldn’t recommend more. Also Joey's is run by a fun young couple with loads of energy. They pick up and drop off, send you pictures throughout the day and before you join, they ensure that the right combinations of dogs are put together for the day so they get along. Totally unique service. 11/10!

  • Dog smiling at day care

    Ann Kirby

    Choosing day care for a lockdown puppy, who has never spent any time away from us, was a challenge. I had read about Joey's & loved the ethos, learning, structure & fun in a big open space. Little did I believe how wonderful the whole experience would be. Tom worked with our dog through separation anxiety, learning manners around other dogs & confidence. She receives limitless love, care delivered with humour, clear guidelines, knowledge & professionalism. Tom & Sara are an extension to our dog's family. She can't wait to be collected from our home & comes home shattered. A one in a kind doggy daycare. We would never send her anywhere else.

  • Mabel loves day care

    Kelly Haggett

    We couldn’t recommend Joey’s enough, wonderful setting and highly professional and caring staff. We’ve been so impressed with the service from the initial contact through to sending Mabel along to Joey’s. Every attention to detail is heartening. Most importantly, as soon as the Joey’s van pulls up in the morning, Mabel is super excited and cannot wait for cuddles with Tom. Says it all! Thank you to Joey’s for the joy you bring.
