Who's caring for your dog

Experienced care, North London through and through.

I love being around and interacting with dogs, and I love walking too. I live five minutes from Trent Park, a huge park full of forest, streams and open meadows that's perfect for dog walking. While I love giving cuddles, I can be strict when it's needed, and I'm experienced at keeping an eye on several dogs at once while out on a walk. I've handled everything from young, bouncy dogs to older ones who need a slower, gentler pace.

Every booking is backed by a written care contract and a free meet & greet, so you know exactly what's agreed, including costs, routine and pick-up or drop-off details, before your dog's first visit. Every walk gets a short note and photos through WhatsApp, so you know how the day went before you're even home.

  • Canine first aid certified
  • Written care contract for every booking

Where we walk

North London's parks, on foot.

All day care and walking includes a trek through one of these three North London parks.

Trent Park

Wide-open meadows and woodland trails across a former country estate, with plenty of room for a proper run.

Dollis Brook

A green, tree-lined route that follows the brook, offering a calmer, steadier amble for every kind of dog.

Hadley Wood

Quiet, shaded ancient woodland trails that are a peaceful favourite on warmer days.

Good to know

A few common questions.

Always. Every new client gets a free, no-obligation meet & greet, so your dog can get comfortable with us before any booking is confirmed.
Yes. Every client signs a simple care contract before their first booking, setting out services, costs and pick-up or drop-off details, so there's no ambiguity for either side.
Park walks go ahead in rain as standard, with dogs towelled off after. In extreme heat or storms, walks are shortened and replaced with extra indoor play, and you'll always be told in advance.
Yes, tablets, insulin injections and topical treatments are all fine. We'll go through your dog's routine in detail at the meet & greet.
Day care can usually start within a few days. Regular slots get booked up during school holidays, so the sooner you get in touch, the better.
