Doggy Day Care in Islington

About: I grew up around dogs and have loved and looked after them my whole life. As a teenager I walked and cared for local dogs in the area during my summer holidays. My most favourite part of adulthood has been getting and caring for my own dog, Sweeney, who is now nearly 4 years old and my best pal. I’m good at looking after and training puppies, as well as providing companionship to older dogs. My family dog had epilepsy so am used to administering medication and looking after dogs with additional needs. I also have a car if need be, and I live a stone’s throw away from Hackney Marshes so am always taking Sweeney for adventures on the other side of the river! I work evenings at the moment and am looking to do some dog walking/sitting during daytimes. I currently work some evenings and occasional afternoons as I work in the theatre industry. I have lots of daytime availability during the week at the moment so am looking to do some dog walking/sitting in the Hackney area. I can do local visits/sits or take your dog out with my own dog, Sweeney. I have a small fenced garden with grass and a friendly dog Sweeney who loves other dogs and will happily share her garden! I have lots of dog toys, and dogs are very welcome to play inside/out or have a snooze on our sofa. I can also sort mealtimes/medication if needed.

“Pabu had a great time and we kept in regular contact :)”

“Thank you again for your care for pon, you are a vital ingredient of his well-being and i can't praise you high enough, god bless, best wishes”

“Merve was lovely and sent me lots of photo updates across the day. Eric clearly loved his day with Merve!”

“Danae is my cousin and I’ve known her since forever. Danae is the type of person who will be walking in the street and make 15 stops in order to pet every dog she will find in her way. She has grown up with dogs in her house, taking care of them, feeding them, playing with them and showing to them her tenderness and kindness. Her face gets brighter when she shares her love with her little furry friends!”

“Katrina creates a nurturing environment, treating each pet as if they were her own. You can count on her to provide the attention, affection, and exercise your pets deserve. I wholeheartedly recommend Katrina H. for her passion, reliability, and dedication to the well-being of our beloved four-legged friends”

“Amy was so helpful and welcoming on Barney's first daycare booking with her! She made sure Barney had plenty of walks (he can be a little stubborn/ nervous) and updated us with lovely photos throughout the day. We will absolutely be booking regularly! Thanks again Amy :)”

“Paula was walking my dog Cassie. Cassie is a white shepherd and has quite some energy and needs long walks. I was glad Paula could help out and take care of her for a couple of hours when I had to go to the office. Cassie loved her! Can recommend Paula’s service.”

“Michelle is absolutely wonderful. Our dog, Benji, is 8 and can be a bit anxious, but he just loves staying with her. He gets so excited on the way over, and he's always very content when we pick him up. In addition, communication with Michelle is always very fast and easy. The best :)”

“Stuart was very professional and made me feel at ease instantly. Kodi (my dog) appeared comfortable and calm when I left him and was already in play-mode with Stuart’s dog. I will be leaving Kodi with him again as I am happy and confident in Stuart’s care. Thanks for keeping my baby safe 😊”

“Would highly recommend Brittany, she is lovely and Pocky was well taken care of!”

“Lara loves every animal as if it was her own. She has grown up caring for dogs and has often looked after our own Golden retriever and spaniel . She is caring and trustworthy and if I am at work or on holiday ,I have complete peace of mind if Lara is looking after my animals .I would highly recommend Lara to anyone looking for a pet sitter.”

“"I recently had the pleasure of working with Alan for his dog walking and dog care services, and I must say I was thoroughly impressed. From the moment I met him, it was clear that he had a genuine passion for dogs and a deep understanding of their needs. He was incredibly professional, prompt, and always had a smile on his face. Not only did Alan provide top-notch dog walking and dog care services for my own furry friend, but he also helped me with my own dog walking business. He shared his expertise on industry best practices, offered valuable advice on how to grow my business, and even lent a helping hand when I needed it. During our initial consultation, Alan took the time to listen to my concerns and provided me with invaluable advice on how to ensure my clients' dogs' health and happiness. He took detailed notes on each dog's personality, quirks, and preferences, which he used to tailor his services to each individual dog's needs. I was thrilled with the care my dog received while in Alan's hands, and my clients were equally pleased with his services. He was attentive, loving, and made sure each dog got plenty of exercise and attention. He sent daily updates and photos, which put both my and my clients' minds at ease knowing their dogs were in good hands. Overall, I cannot recommend Alan enough for his dog walking and dog care services. He is a true professional, and his passion for dogs shines through in everything he does. Whether you're looking for someone to care for your own furry friend or need help with your dog walking business, Alan is the way to go!" Emilio Cardoso @emiliodogwalker”

“You Absolute Superstar!!”

“Radley enjoyed his stay with this lovely family. He had a fun day playing with Cookie and was very well looked after.”

“If I could give 10 stars I would!! Leah really helped out with a last minute request - excellent communication, flexible, sent a lovely photo of Polka having a fun day, and most importantly, picked up a relaxed and happy pup. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Leah to others and will certainly hope she might be free to look after Polka again! Thanks Leah! X”

“Eszter looked after our dog whilst we were at work one day this week. She was super flexible and picked him up and dropped him off right on time. She sent us updates throughout the day and our dog was very happy when he came home. Thank you!”

“Ruby has looked after our Cockapoo for periods of time since he came to us in January 2018. She regularly feeds, bathes, walks him and cleans up after him. She is very gentle and loving towards him and he is happy to be looked after by her. She would make a good dog sitter as she has lots of experience with our dog.”

“Alice is amazing and I highly recommend her services! Being put into a situation where you have to work and worried leaving your dog at home alone. I’ll be honest, I was skeptical and anxious and leaving my dog with a stranger, but the moment I met Alice, my concerns were put at ease. She updated me on how my dog was settling in, even sent me a video of her playing with my dog and caring for her. Thank you for looking after my dog today and I will definitely be using you again. ☺️”

About: I love all my furry friends but I think dogs are the kindest, most pure creatures on earth!! I really enjoy spending time with them and making sure they are living their best lives. My furbaby/love of my life is TJ, he's a tiny maltese pomeranian. I've looked after many of my friends dogs before (pomeranian, dalmation, corgi, bichon) and would love to meet yours! I'm very flexible, friendly and easy going. I'm very active, full of energy and like to keep myself busy. I work from home. As I have flexible working hours, I can take your pet on walks when needed and will make sure they are never bored. I am available during the week and most weekends. Pets are and will be treated like family! My dog is 15+ years old, I've had him since he was 7 weeks. I am familiar with excited puppies as well as senior dogs.
