Doggy Day Care in Croydon

“Andrew did a fantastic job with our dog. He was the incredibly flexible with times and provided food when we forgot to bring it. We are really happy with the care that our dog received and would love to go back to him when we require more doggy daycare. Thank you Andrew!”

About: Pavel (my partner) and I love dogs, and I’ve also discovered that I truly enjoy working with them. In the summer of 2024, a friend entrusted us with her energetic and reactive four-year-old Cockapoo. I took several courses and worked closely with a professional dog trainer to teach him to leave things on the ground, walk nicely on a leash, settle down when needed, greet guests calmly, tolerate grooming and drying, get ready for walks without stress, and stay calm at home. While we saw real progress, it was inconsistent, and after four months, Pavel and I realized we weren’t ready to live in constant stress over Yosi’s setbacks long-term. Yosi found a loving new home, and now we’ve embraced the joy of hosting dogs temporarily — giving them love, attention, and care while their owners are away. I’m currently looking for remote work, so I have plenty of time to play with and keep a pooch entertained when they’re awake and want attention. BEFORE THE STAY Before each stay, I always meet you and your pup so everyone can get comfortable. We’ll take a little walk, see where we’ll be going for strolls, and let your dog explore our home — that way, the first day feels familiar and stress-free. SETTLING IN During the first few days, I stay home full-time so your dog can settle in calmly. If your pup has separation anxiety, I’ll make sure they’re never left alone. CARE & COMFORT I’m happy to follow your dog’s usual routine — feeding schedule, brushing, medications, supplements, or any little rituals that make them feel secure. If your dog gets anxious around brushes, clippers, or harnesses, I can gently help them get used to those things using only positive reinforcement. WALKS, PLAY & ENRICHMENT At first, our walks are all about exploring, sniffing, and getting to know the neighborhood. Once your dog feels safe with us, I add more fun and challenge — fetch, tug games, trick training, and scent games for mental stimulation. I always walk dogs on a long leash (never a retractable one), and if you don’t have one, I’ve got one ready. When your dog reliably responds to my voice — and with your permission — we can enjoy some safe off-leash time in the park. ESSENTIALS FOR YOUR PUP 🛋 Dog sofa 🦮 5-meter leash 🚰 Water bottle for long walks 🧴 Duoxo S3 shampoo for safe clean-ups 🧩 Lick mat & Kong to help your dog relax ❄️ Cooling mat for hot days 🚗 Car hammock & safety belt (for harness use only) for comfortable rides out of town

“Padure was fabulous with our young staffie x. She really understood the needs of a bigger younger dog. We have previously been in touch on an urgent occasion where dog care got cancelled on the morning of and Padure was more than happy to help showing how reliable she is. Thanks again!”

“Sam and Andrea were amazing looking after my 1 year old Mini Dachshund puppy Forest, he ran into their flat after he’d met them a few weeks before and quickly made himself at home. They updated me throughout the day with messages and lots of pictures, took him out for the day and for a run in the park. He looked so happy and was obviously very comfortable with them both. He passed out as soon as I got him home - a sign of a very enjoyable day! Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them for your doggies. Thanks both!”

Laura M.

“It seemed like Finn had a great time with Gosia and her pooch! Can't recommend her enough, and would absolutely leave Finn in her care again if she'd have him”

Dan W.

“Bofrot had such a wonderful time with Lishan. She not only took amazing care of him but also went above and beyond to make sure he felt comfortable, played and rested well throughout the day. As a first-time puppy owner, I really appreciated how patient and knowledgeable she was. She shared genuinely helpful advice and updates that made me feel completely at ease. It’s so clear that she truly loves and understands dogs. I can’t recommend Lishan enough. Bofrot came home happy, relaxed and full of tail wags!”

“This was MJs first time with Lenia and Constantina . He is a very friendly and sociable dog but still young and can be a bit hyper if he is in a new situation or anxious . They both looked after him so well with lots of updates and photos to let me know how he was getting on . He was so happy and calm at the end of the day when I collected him and I’m sure he had an amazing time . They are such lovely people and obviously love dogs . MJ had a fab time and will definitely want to come and stay again - Jas & Vaneeta x”

About: Hi! I’m originally from Australia and have had dogs my entire life, growing up with both Boxers and Border Collies. I’ve been living in England for the last three years and really miss having a dog around.

Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles or simply keeping them company, I’ll make sure your dog feels safe, happy and loved. I’m a teacher with a flexible schedule outside of school hours and during holidays, giving me plenty of time to dedicate to your pet. Whether it’s walks, playtime, drop-ins, or simply keeping your dog company, I’ll work around their usual routine to ensure they feel comfortable and well cared for. I have a secure fenced garden and always prioritise your dog’s safety and comfort. I’m happy to follow your pet’s usual routine, including feeding schedules, medication and crate training if needed. I’ll also send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and well looked after. 🐾

About: I've been surrounded by animals my whole life, currently a mom of two cats and a lovely dog. From a young age, I’ve naturally taken on the role of pet caregiver, feeding, walking, bathing and even administering basic medications when needed. I’ve always been the one friends and family turn to when they need someone reliable and loving to look after their pets. Whether it’s keeping a puppy entertained or making sure older pets are comfortable and well cared for, I do it with genuine affection and attention to their individual needs. I work from home full-time, which allows me to give your pet the time, attention and companionship they need throughout the day. My routine is flexible, so I can accommodate a variety of schedules, whether that’s early morning drop-offs, midday walks, or overnight stays. I’m happy to care for pets in my own home, where I’ve created a calm and pet-friendly environment, or I can come to yours if your pet is more comfortable staying in their familiar surroundings. Since I work remotely, I’m always nearby to give cuddles, toilet breaks, and playtime whenever it’s needed. When your pet stays with me, they’ll be welcomed into a safe, loving home with a securely fenced decking, where they can explore and play freely. I have a gentle and well-socialised dog who gets along brilliantly with others, and I always introduce pets slowly and mindfully to make sure everyone feels at ease. If I’m looking after your pet in your home, I’ll bring my dog with me, and I’ll make sure both pets are comfortable, supervised, and settled. I’m happy to use crates if needed, and can follow any routine you have in place, whether that’s feeding schedules, medications, or special instructions. My dog is crate trained and very well behaved, I am experienced in training dogs tricks and good behaviour. Your pet’s wellbeing and happiness are always my top priorities.

“We love Salemne so much! Fred has the best time there. He’s always wiggly-bottom-happy to see her when he’s picked up. She sends videos and pictures throughout the day. She always picks him up on time and is very accommodating with awkward times and days.”

Vanessa H.

“Alex and Mykal could not have been any more accommodating of my little dog - asking all the right questions even before the Meet & Greet (she has medical needs) where they made plenty of time for us, paired with frequent updates during her stay, I’m always reassured my dog is in very good hands. Taking great care of introductions and day-to-day care, they’re very diligent and super kind and personable pet lovers, a great fit for us! Thank you 🙏”

About: At the age of 8 I had my first dog, an English Springer Spaniel and continued to have dogs until just a few years ago when my last beloved passed away. I have loved and cared for dogs nearly my entire life including puppies and senior dogs. I hand reared 5 orphaned puppies and raised them to adulthood. I have vast experience with large breed dogs with mine having been German Shepherd and Dogue De Bordeaux Mastiff crosses. I have experience with administering medication and muzzle training with reward based training. If doggy day care is required, your dog will receive 2 walks within the day. I am at home daily and my child will be at school weekdays, so your dog will have my undivided attention. If overnight boarding is booked I will provide up to 3 walks per day. I will generally only need to be out briefly for school runs and groceries during weekdays. I have a good sized fenced garden with lawn and I live right beside a park. I prefer to keep dogs on leads but let me know what your dog likes and dislikes regarding walks. Are they reward based trained? (treat trained). Do they react to other dogs, cats or people? I live with my child and husband so it is essential that the dog is calm and not reactive if they are to be boarded. Meeting a dog beforehand must be arranged so the dog becomes familiar with who I am and I of them.
