We offer dog walking, doggy day care and dog boarding. We also offer half-day doggy day care (morning/afternoon/evening).
How do I enrol my dog and what is the process?
Please contact us by either using the contact form or by email at [email protected] and let us know which service/s you are interested in for your dog.
Don’t forget to add your postcode so we can see if you fall inside our catchment area for collecting/dropping off dogs.
Once we have established with you the days/times, we will ask you to fill out an enrolment form to gather some information on your dog before arranging a charged trial service for them. This will be to establish how they will fit in and then we can take it from there.
What area do you cover?
Dog Walkers London is based in the London Borough of Camden.
For dog walking, we will check your postcode when you enquire to see if you are within the catchment area for dog walks which are usually done in Regents Park, Primrose Hill and occasionally Hampstead Heath.
For Doggie Day Care and Dog Boarding, please get in touch.
Can you take my dog for walks/daycare on a regular or ad hoc basis?
We can cater for regular and ad hoc requests.
We will always try to be as flexible as we can for you, even if it is a last minute request.
In order to guarantee a booking though, it is advised that you aim to provide at least a weeks notice.
How many dogs are walked at any one time?
When first getting to know a dog, we charge for a trial walk to assess the dog and see how they will fit in with the dynamic of the other dogs and pack. We walk in very small packs of no more than 4 dogs per walker.
How do you arrange picking up and dropping off the dogs?
We will collect and drop off your dog from your place at the arranged time either by car or on foot.
Are you insured?
Yes, we have full public liability insurance provided by Pet Business Insurance.

How do I pay for my walks?

What do you do in case of an emergency?
When we enrol your dog, we take your dog’s vet details in case of an emergency. In the unlikely event of an emergency, we will immediately call and notify you. If veterinary assistance is required, we will take your dog to your nominated vet or to the nearest possible one depending on the circumstances.
Will you walk my dog off lead?
We will ask you to sign an off lead form giving permission for your dog to be walked off lead. We will then assess the dog to make sure that we are confident that your dog is within our control.

No, we only offer dog boarding.
Do I need to pay an upfront deposit for dog boarding?
