Welcome to our Doggie Day Care in Dorchester. We're a bit different from your typical day care service as we're not here simply to look after your dog, but to provide an amazing experience bursting with enrichment, adventure, education & love.
Whether it's our nap times with soothing music & cuddles, the fact that each playgroup stays consistent with the same friends, or the careful balance between active play, relaxation & training...

Consistent Play Groups
We believe having the same friends each week is incredibly important for the pups. Everyone in the playgroup gets to build trust, learn more about each other time & create long lasting relationships.

Individual Training & Advice
You're not just joining a day care, your becoming part of the Joey's family. This means we're there to provide expert advice, support your training efforts or even offer one to one sessions should you need them.


In-depth Assessment Process
This includes an initial phone consultation, a welcome visit, a behavioural test & a trial afternoon. This means we understand each dog's individual needs & can match them with the most suitable playgroup before joining the fun.

Natural Enrichment
Being surrounded by beautiful countryside & situated on a working farm, Joey's provides a natural sensory adventure like no other.
Dogs explore the world with their nose & we have a rainbow of new smells to discover.

Testimonials


Clancy Hammond
Our boy Erik (Pointer) absolutely loves Joeys. 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 Joeys 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!

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.

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.

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!

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).
