CUSTOMER REVIEWS
My 2 dogs, Albie & Mabel, stayed at The Dog Club for 3 weeks last summer and they had the best time! It was lovely going away knowing that they are in the safe hands of a true dog expert with lots of space to run around & play with other dogs. Albie & Mabel were very happy on their little doggy holiday & built a great relationship with Jessica & co which was very clear when I picked them up but also in the photos and videos Jessica would send me whilst I was away. Highly recommend!
Parker has always thoroughly enjoyed his ‘holidays’ with Jess and family, and just spent the Bank Holiday weekend with The Dog Club in their new premises. When he is away, we always have total peace of mind knowing that he is happy and settled, with someone who is a complete expert, who understands his needs and can keep him safe and entertained! We get lovely pictures of him at different points in the holiday and can see what he is up to. Although he’s happy to see us when we get back, I’m pretty sure he’d stay longer if he could! I would totally recommend Jess and the team and will continue to send Parker off for his staycation whenever we’re away, secure in the knowledge that he’s being lovingly cared for. I would thoroughly recommend The Dog Club to anyone looking for top professional care for their dog, either on a daycare or holiday boarding basis.
Our dog Buffy stays at The Dog Club with Jess whenever we go on holiday – it’s her holiday too and she loves staying there! We never worry about leaving her and Jess sends us photos and updates to assure us that she’s having fun. Very highly recommended!
Elsie and Jim have a wonderful time when they stay with Jessica and Steve at what I would call a holiday camp for dogs. We have the peace of mind the dogs are safe and looked after in a great environment where they get to do what dogs love to do under the watchful eyes of the team who know the dogs characteristics and ensure the dogs needs are met. When we get the dogs home we know they have had a wail of a time and enjoyed their holiday as much as we have enjoyed ours.
I have known Jess and Jess for many years and have been very impressed with them both. They have great knowledge and experience of working with animals and especially dogs. The facilities are spotless, all dogs are given the utmost care. They treat all dogs in their care as members of their own family. My own dog Megan has stayed with Jess several times and without fail, she goes in wagging her tail and is very relaxed. Megan loves her time with Jess and her doggy friends. I cannot say enough really but the main thing is that your dog will be in great hands with The Dog Club Maldon.
As a natural worrier, I was always concerned about holidays and dog cover. Not wanting to put our dogs in kennels limited our options still further ….. until we met Jess. Jess, Steve and the team offer an exceptional service. Our dogs love their “holidays” and “away days” with them and we have total piece of mind, knowing they are in safe and capable hands. Their passion for what they do shines through. All aspects of the dogs needs are catered for. I cannot recommend highly enough and would not leave our dogs with anyone else.
The Dog Club has been created after many years of our family working with and living around our own dogs and others. We were always the first call when anyone we knew needed care for their dogs. As demand for our help grew, word spread, and the Dog Club as we know it was born. Shaped by the need for loving, knowledgeable care, combined with our understanding of what a dog needs to be happy, relaxed, and safe, our facilities have been designed solely to benefit every dog’s needs. From wide-open spaces to run off-lead and play, to homely sofas and cosy sleeping areas to relax.
In 2022, we decided to open up to the public and start offering the dogs of Maldon a chance to come and play, learn, and have fun with us. Fast forward and the dog club has grown into everything we hoped it would and more – as well as forming a community of loving, supportive and happy local owners and their dogs with endless positive, raving reviews and such wonderful feedback. Our dream of creating a dog-haven has been achieved and we continue to develop and improve our services – adding grooming, training, extra dog walking and home boarding.
The first step to joining The Dog Club is getting in touch with us to arrange in induction for your dog and for you to have a look around at what we have to offer. You can do that easily by booking online, alternatively we can have a chat and talk you through booking in at a time that suits you.
The Puppy Club is a specialist puppy socialisation and training club for all puppies between 12 weeks and 12 months – providing them with the tools to grow and develop into balanced, confident, and social young dogs. They will eventually graduate Puppy Club once they reach 12 months, over a 4-week process, into our main Dog Club which is fully equipped to integrate with all dog types.
The Puppy Club will teach your pup the skills they need to equip them for all aspects of life, above and beyond their time with us here. They will grow into confident, happy and social adults.
Jo G12 June 2024 Jelly has been attending Dog Club since she was a tiny pup and it's honestly her favourite part of the week! We wouldn't trust anywhere else with her and not only are they brilliant looking after her in the day, their groomers are AMAZING and we've always been pleased with the overnight boarding too! The team are so caring and they've helped Jelly go from a tiny anxious puppy, to a confident playful teen dog! Amanda Harbrow-Harris15 May 2024 My dog has been going here since February and loves it. We have noticed a marked improvement in his socialisation with other dogs. We have absolutely no doubt that he is well cared for and loved during his day at The Dog Club. I particularly enjoy looking at their instagram stories to see if I can spot my boy. He was spoilt rotten on his 4th birthday recently which was sweet. Georgi Eagle6 May 2024 My dog, Evie, has been going to the Dog Club a couple of days a week for almost two years now. She absolutely adores all the staff and the other dogs and always has the best day. There are always lots of lovely picture updates which show all the fun she is having. The Dog Club also offer grooming services and Evie always comes home looking and smelling gorgeous! When we pick Evie up she is always sent home with a report card and a treat which is a lovely touch. I would recommend the Dog Club to anyone who is looking for doggy daycare! Rebecca Beech29 April 2024 The best daycare for my puppy. So professional and all the staff clearly love their job! George always runs in excitedly and comes out exhausted. Would highly recommend. Jo Bagridge20 April 2024 Wow !! We love The Dog Club Maldon. From the time I contacted them to enrol Hendrix I knew we would love it. Jess was so friendly and passionate about it. On the trial day we were put at ease and showed where the dogs play and exercise. The barn is amazing, just like a living room to make the dogs all feel at home. Hendrix goes Wednesdays and he knows Wednesday morning that he is going. He gets so excited and runs round the house up and down the stairs like crazy. He can’t wait to get in and see everyone, especially his favourite four legged friend Moose and favourite 2 legged friend Eleanor. When he comes home he is usually asleep by 6.30 and sleeps a lot Thursday too. I don’t know what we would do without dog club !! We use the grooming service and have used the training service too. Both are brilliant. Emma Hart16 April 2024 Bella absolutely loves going to the dog club. She really comes out of her shell, plays with her all friends and is incredibly well looked after. The team are very caring, attentive and provide regular updates through instagram and the report card. Which is such an added bonus. Joanne Cridland11 April 2024 What can I say but we love the dog club .. we so struck gold when we found it .. my bichon waits by the door when he knows he’s going As a family we love seeing the photos of all the dogs having fun and we also love reading his daily report card .. thanks again team love all off us 😍 leah Drew11 April 2024 The dog club is a fabulous setting with so much space to keep woody happy,safe and entertained. The staff are kind, helpful and passionate about insuring he has the best day! I can always know he is going to come home being loved and cared for and completely shattered from having lots of fun. Abby Cooke10 April 2024 My dog Benny visits the dog club once a week. Benny loves the it, he spends all day playing with his doggy friends and getting lots of treats and cuddles from the staff. He has been going since he was a puppy and we can tell he knows when it’s a dog club day, he’s too excited to even eat breakfast! I love being able to watch the instagram stories and see what he has been up to each time. The staff are great and love all of the dogs. They are sent home each day with a report card and a treat, and even something special at certain times of year!
