Dog Walking and Daycare in Primrose Hill
Primrose Hill, NW1, is one of the loveliest places in London to live, and the hill itself is a beautiful, well-kept park. Your dog deserves a change of scene too, so we drive a little further.

Ashley heads for the Heath Extension when a dog needs to stretch out: long clear sight lines, room to run flat out and stay in view. Jack takes the wired ones onto the dense, wooded West Heath. Never more than four dogs.

Doggy daycare in Primrose Hill

Who’ll walk your dog in Primrose Hill
Ashley
4 yearsFour years with us. Clients warm to him straight away, and he’s quick with photos and videos from the walk.
Jack
6 yearsHis West Heath is the wilder end of Hampstead Heath: left far more natural, with a circular path to follow or trees to dive into. Far fewer people up there, too.
Warren
16 yearsSixteen years in and still out every day. Daycare is his: he collects every dog himself and drives them out to the woodland.
“My dog loves Ashley so much and it’s great to receive regular photos of the dogs having the best time!”
We keep things calm
Every dog has an energy scale. Zero is fast asleep by the radiator, ten is absolutely wired. We aim to have your dog out at a three or a four on that scale, because a dog down there meets a wound-up group calm.
We also cover St John’s Wood, Hampstead and West Hampstead.
