Establishment service Dog walker

👍👍 My dog Bennie loves his dog walks with the Dogfather. Dom and the team are always very professional and Bennie is always so happy when I come home after he's been out and about in SW London. When I've gone away for a few days or have work functions that keep me out late, I always get a text message...

    My dog Bennie loves his dog walks with the Dogfather. Dom and the team are always very professional and Bennie is always so happy when I come home after he's been out and about in SW London. When I've gone away for a few days or have work functions that keep me out late, I always get a text message stating Bennie has been dropped off and fed and occasionally some photos too. I'm really happy we found the Dogfather UK as it has been instrumental in my settling into London as a young, single professional with a dog.

    The Dogfather provide a great service - reliable and clearly keen dog lovers. My dog is a lively Sprocker so has plenty of energy to burn off, & comes back from his walks on Wimbledon Common or Richmond happy! Never a backward glance as he runs to the car! I've used The Dogfather for over 2 years, both for regular dog walking and for occasional day-care and weekend stays. He loves most of the team (especially Joe) and I have happily recommended them to friends.

    I’m so happy to have found The Dogfather family! My dog, Mack, has been attending daycare, doing afternoon walks and boarded with Nicki and Rob. I’ve had a hard time finding reliable dog care and for the first time I’ve been able to go on holiday and not have to worry at all about Mack’s care. Everyone at The Dogfather is so friendly and genuinely loves dogs and I can’t recommend them enough!

    We have used the Dogfather for walking and boarding since our Sprocker Daisy was a puppy. All the team are fantastic and love the dogs. The day care centre is amazing facility and I always know Daisy will have a great time playing with other dogs there. They also take amazing action shots that they should frame and sell! Thank you Dom and team.

    My dog attends daycare twice weekly and has done for over a year. We are really happy with the service and know our dog is safe, exercised, socialised and well cared for. A huge plus is the dog boarding service, my dog has stayed with people he knows who work at the Dogfather and is really settled...he has a holiday too! Highly recommend.

    My dog loves going to the Dogfather; although she doesn't go there regularly, she always feels at home on arrival and loves the staff there. I get daily updates on her day, with photos.

    I paid for a session with Tia the dog trainer. She cancelled and to date despite contacting Dom by email and voicemail I have heard nothing. Hugely disappointed at the lack of response. I paid money in good faith. Would not recommend this service to anyone. Alison

    Opie loves The Dogfather and we are so glad to have found them. He always looks like he has a great time and all the team are so friendly.

    Dom and the team have been fantastic with our dog. We've used their dog boarding, daily walks and daycare services and are always very happy! Any miscommunications are quickly resolved and the team are loving and caring. Thank you!

    Great. Humphrey loves his weekly day out with the Dogfather. He can’t wait to get out whenever Laia rings at the door, and best of all he conks out in the evening.

    Dom & The Dogfather team are fantastic. We started using them for our pup about 6 months ago, and have used a number of their services--day care, half-day care, weekend walks, and overnight boarding. After meeting with a number of local (and non-local) walkers & companies, we decided Dom & team were the best, and haven't regretted our decision. My dog waits patiently at the door for her walker to show up every day, and then goes bananas when she hears them arrive. The Dogfather offers amazing flexibility--the client portal is very convenient and easy to use, and I can book/cancel services really simply. The daily updates and photos are a nice perk, and let me know she had a great day out with her pack. Our pup has some specific requirements (for example she needs to be kept on lead, and fed when she gets home), and the Dogfather walkers happily comply with these requests. In the past when she was permitted to be off lead and she rolled in something stinky, the walker would give her a bath--which is excellent customer service. If issues do arise--a minor injury or upset tummy, for example--these are always flagged and followed up. On the very rare occasion I've discovered a problem myself, I've always received immediate attention and a fix. I love coming home to my tired and happy dog. She is definitely living her best life with The Dogfather!

    We’ve been sending our dog to daycare at The Dogfather since he was a pup,. They collect between 9 and 10 and return him between 5 and 6. Unlike other daycare services you can book your dog in ad hoc and are not tied into fixed days every week and this flexibility suits us perfectly. They also send photos and sometimes a report of his day so you get to seer what a great time he’s had. If you”re looking for flexibility and a day of fun for your dog - you’ve found it.

    The Dogfather’s service is outstanding. I would recommend Dom, Grace, Joe and the rest of the team to anyone who is looking for a doggy day care service that is flexible and one that puts your mind at ease. The dogs are picked up together & play together all day. Roley comes back worn out and happy. The carers send you regular updates and photos of what your pup has been up to. They are always flexible and accommodating of my ever changing schedule. We’d really struggle without them!

    The Dogfather have been super reliable for walks and daycare. We’ve also used their home boarding for our 2 year old Shiba Inu twice with Laia who has been amazing and deserves a special mention, Laia always keeps us updated daily while we are away with brilliant photos &/ videos of our dog enjoying daycare and running around with dogs. She clearly cares for all the dogs she looks after as individuals and has our total trust. Would highly recommend!

    Simply perfect dog care centre! Was recommended to their service by a dog owner in the park and I don't think Bacon can live without it anymore. The team is very flexible and true dog lovers. Would highly recommend it to anyone !

    Dom and his team clearly all love dogs and that makes such a difference with my nervous dog rescue dog. She always has a wonderful time. I have used The Dogfather for many years now, with different dogs (- all very different characters) and they all love going with the Dogfather. The booking system is wonderfully simple and flexible and they're always very helpful with any special issues. I have used them for walks, day care and home boarding - brilliant all-round. Thoroughly recommend them.

    My puppy Ralphie loves The Dogfather and it is such a treat for him to have a day out of London running around with all his buddies. It is a friendly and professional service and all the dog walkers I have met are great. It is super flexible as well which helps so much during these uncertain times. I would highly recommend using The Dogfather.

    Dom and his team at The Dogfather have been taking care of my Chug Oreo since 2017 and I highly recommend them! I use their services for dog walks and boarding. The Dogfather team are excellent, extremely professional, trustworthy and knowing that Oreo is in safe hand and always well looked after. Above all, i feel Oreo is treated with love, like a family member <3

    Finding a reliable, friendly and flexible dog walking service in London is really difficult. The Dogfather is an incredibly well run service where everyone LOVES dogs and take fantastic care of them whether its a daily walk, day care or dog boarding. Their internal portal is easy to use and they run really good comms with the owners as well. Thank you!
