Doggy Day Care Southwark

About: I've had a lot of experience looking after my friend's dogs over the years. I've been dog sitting since I was 15 and looked after a range of breeds. I also have my own miniature dachshund called Piglet. He's a very friendly and well-socialised dog who loves the company of other dogs! I work from home twice a week and I'm available at weekends to spend quality time with dogs. I am available early and late, and can be flexible with overnight stays The dogs would have space to roam within my flat (with enclosed balcony), in a shared courtyard and garden, with a large park nearby for fun walks and playtime. I would be around at all times to ensure they are safe and well cared for.

“Muumi was in good hands whilst we were on holiday! Muumi was a little bit unwell when we left but Stacey made sure to take care of her well so she could regain her full health and energy. Stacey was very responsive and accommodating throughout the doggy care/boarding. Muumi also seem to have enjoyed playing her favourite game tug of war with Stacey’s dogs. Thank you 🙏🏼 ”

About: From long walks to cuddles, I love spending time with dogs of all shapes and sizes. I have looked after puppies and senior dogs over the last 20 years and my friends and family often call on me when they go on holiday to cover pet care. Being around dogs is a joy for me. For dogs that enjoy it, I'm happy to give them a careful brush! I have looked after healthy dogs, as well as those who need extra assistance and even some who are post surgery. If they are a little fussy with food - I'm happy to hand feed! As an actor, my work can be sporadic. During term time I am at drama school, but in the holidays I'm free as a bird. My partner works in the same industry too so one of us are usually home. Getting out and about for walks can be something I can de-prioritise, but having a friendly dog around, means that I'm always motivated to go out, walk and play. Having grown up with dogs throughout my life, I have often been told I treat them like siblings as opposed to pets. I like to talk out loud to dogs so they can understand what I am doing around the house or as we are preparing to leave. They are more than welcome on my bed or sofa (so long as the owner is okay with that). I think I am fairly intuitive and observant around dogs and I was even the first to spot an issue with my family dogs knee, which meant he could get it seen to before it deteriorated! Generally, I try to look after 1 dog at a time (unless they are from the same household), so they can get my full attention.

“Albie loves going to Jamie-Lee .. he races to get there and is super-excited to see her. I always feel confident that he’ll be well looked after.”

About: I come from a dog-lovers family and was surrounded by dogs my whole life. I started by looking after our family’s pets (Mini Yorkshire Terrier and a Wire haired Dachshund), and now have a dog of my own. Yurei is a 2 y.o. American Hairless Terrier whom I have trained since puppyhood. I have also looked after many of my friend’s dogs and cats, and my friend’s praise led me to setting up this Rover account. I also volunteered at Wimbledon Greyhound Welfare charity as a dog walker, which gave me an experience of working with nervous and large dogs. I have trained my dog, Yurei, from a 4-month old pup, and people always compliment how well-mannered he is. I believe in positive reinforcement principles and follow the principles of Steve Mann and Karen Pryor. I also hold a K9 First Aid certificate so rest assured your pup will be in safe hands. I am happy to look after your puppies, middle-aged and senior dogs. It is important to note that Yurei is quite energetic and might not be every dog's cup of tea. Please feel free to message me and we can arrange a meeting before booking anything in! I am currently studying for my Master’s degree and I am home full time. My partner is home some days as he is on a flexible schedule so he is able to keep your pup company as well, especially if they need to burn some energy through play. My dog Yurei is extremely friendly and high energy pup. He is a small American Hairless Terrier and loves to play and run around! He is a small sized dog (7.5kg) but he loves a company of bigger dogs. Yurei is neutered and gets on with vast majority of the dogs he meets. Rest assured I will be supervising the dogs at all times and manage their interactions. I am experienced in redirecting problematic behaviours, and my 3-bedroom home is big enough to keep dogs separated if need be. Please message me in advance if you have any concerns. I live in a terraced house and have a private garden with tall fences and a doggy door for pup’s easy access should they need a potty. I have plenty of toys for your pup should they need them, and will be happy to give them any enrichment or chews that you provide. We live next to smaller Bird in Bush park which has an enclosed dog exercise area, and bigger Burgess Park for longer walks.

About: Hi, I’m Francisca! Originally from Chile, I work as a curator and writer now based in South East London. While I love the arts, my biggest passion outside of work has always been animals—especially dogs! Growing up surrounded by pets, caring for them with patience, affection, and intuition is second nature to me. Now settled in Nunhead / Peckham, I’d love to lend a helping hand to local pet parents. Whether you have a bouncy puppy who needs active play, a rescue dog who needs a calm touch, or a gentle senior who prefers long naps and quiet strolls, I treat every pup in my care as if they were my own. COVERAGE AREA & SERVICES I'm based in Nunhead/Peckham (SE15) and travel everywhere by bike, covering nearby neighbourhood areas within a cycling distance (including Peckham, Nunhead, Camberwell, New Cross, Brockley, and East Dulwich). - Dog Walking & Exercise: Fun, safe neighbourhood walks tailored to your dog’s specific age, energy level, and mobility needs. - Drop-In Visits & House Sitting: Feeding, fresh water, medication administration if needed, continuous companionship, and plenty of belly rubs while keeping your home safe and tidy. - Tailored Attention for All Ages: Experienced with everything from high-energy puppies to delicate seniors and anxious pups needing a gentle, quiet presence. - Your dog’s happiness and safety are my absolute priorities. - Daily Photo & Video Updates: I will send regular photo and video updates with every booking so you never have to wonder how your pup is doing. - Free Meet & Greet: I always insist on a free, no-obligation Meet & Greet prior to any booking to learn your dog’s unique personality, home routine, and medical/dietary needs. Send me a message with your neighbourhood and dates—I’d love to meet you and your four-legged bestie! Im a Master's student at Goldsmiths, so I have a few lessons per week, this allows me to have a calm lifestyle, waking up early and organising my days depending on diverse work/research/writting paces. I have a luminous flat where I spend most of the time, as I work from home. With several parks nearby, I have good access to many green areas.

“Morgan is really easy to communicate with, and responds quickly. Homer was comfortable in her company immediately, she has a really good understanding of dogs needs, and we’ll definitely use her again!”

Debs R.

“David is an absolute superstar with Mancha! He is so caring and made sure he understood all of Mancha’s needs before the sit. Communication throughout was great, lots of photos and updates through out the day. She clearly enjoyed lots of cuddles and lovely walks! I would definitely recommend David!”
