Dog Walking and Daycare in Cricklewood
Cricklewood, NW2, is just over the hill from West Hampstead, where we started sixteen years ago. Gladstone Park is handy for a quick loop, but for a proper walk your dog needs somewhere wilder, so that is where we take them.

Dog walkers in Cricklewood NW2
We collect from home, drive out to woodland and open heath, and walk a small group for a full hour, with the driving never counted in it. Same walker, same friends, same calm rhythm, so dogs settle into it quickly. Cricklewood is Stephanie’s patch: seven years with us, a maximum of four dogs, and walks on Hampstead Heath.

Who’ll walk your dog in Cricklewood
Stephanie
7 yearsShe would rather say no to a dog than put the wrong mix together, which is why her groups stay so settled.
Warren
16 yearsNot a name on the letterhead: he’s one of the six walkers, and runs every daycare round himself.
“Jack, Steph and Warren are wonderful – organized, reliable and nice. My dog is always very happy to see them as well as the pack of friends on my dog’s daily walks.”
We keep things calm
We would rather a dog came home settled than came home exhausted from chasing. Calm walks build calm dogs, and calm dogs are a joy to live with.
We also cover West Hampstead, Kilburn and Hampstead.
