Private Dog Care & Training in Your Own Home
Specialist puppy training, structured daytime care, and private live-in support for your dog for those special weekend getaways.
Suffolk’s one-to-one dog care & training service
Dognanny provides discreet, one-to-one puppy nanny and dog training services across Suffolk. We blend enrichment, structured exercise, and calm expertise to ensure your dog thrives.
Dog walking
Dog walking tailored specifically to your dog’s needs. We work with your dog, 1:1, to fulfil their exercise and mental stimulation needs. Whether you have a puppy, reactive dog, or a dog with training needs, or just want your dog to get their energy out – we can get you back on track with our signature personalised care.
Private 1:1 Dog Training
Does your dog pull on the lead? Or seemingly refuse to listen to you?
Our bespoke dog and puppy training service provides a bespoke 1:1 curriculum designed to get hound and human working harmoniously together using positive, welfare-led training methods.
Weekend holiday care
While you’re off enjoying your weekend spa break, or an evening out, we’ll pamper your pet with playful activities and cozy cuddles in their own home.
We can tailor the care they receive to include walks, training, sniffer games, or additional hikes for enhancing your dog’s wellbeing.
Puppy Nanny Service
Got a new puppy but need to head back into work?
Let us take care of your pup during the day. We’ll work with you on a bespoke schedule of feeding, napping, walking, training, and appropriate socialisation.
We can even potty train your pup for you if this is something you need.
Meet the Dognanny of Suffolk
Catherine ‘Cat’ Oliver is the founder and Head of Canine Care at Dognanny — a private, one-to-one dog care and training service built on trust, discretion, and exceptional standards.
With a background in education, advanced canine first aid training, and a lifelong dedication to animal welfare, she brings both calm authority and genuine warmth into every home she steps into. Her approach blends enrichment, gentle training, and emotional understanding to create dogs who are not simply exercised — but truly settled, confident, and understood.
Based in Suffolk and working within some of the county’s most beautiful homes, Catherine offers a refined, personal service designed for owners who want more than standard pet care. Whether supporting a young puppy through those crucial early months or guiding an adult dog to greater focus and calm, she works quietly, professionally, and wholeheartedly — building lasting relationships with both dogs and their families.
Whether you need training support or private canine care within your own home, book your consultation today.
What people are saying
“You should not hesitate to book Cat to care for your dog. She really goes above and beyond. Cat is the first person I have ever booked to look after my dog overnight and I was so nervous leaving him. I could instantly tell she had everything under control and was able to enjoy my night away! Her great understanding of dog behaviour meant that she was not put off by my dog’s history of reactivity to some other dogs. 5 star all round.”
Jessica, booked a premium overnight pet sit in her own home
“Cat jumped in to help us with our two greyhounds at very short notice; she asked all the right questions to make sure she understood our dogs’ complex needs, and gave them lots of love and attention, kept us updated and even did training exercises with them. Thank you so much – we will definitely book again!”
Katharine, booked a premium daytime pet sit, including two walks
“Fen is always amazingly well cared for. She gets days out, walks, stimulating hikes, and has had a massive leap forward in her training as a result of spending time with Cat at Dognanny. She has learnt new tricks and I know she gets all the mental stimulation that she needs. It’s just been the best thing for us.”
Catherine, repeat dog walking, training, and hiking customer
