Local experience since 2013
Personal care, higher standards and a familiar face.
Doggy Chums carefully interviews carers and looks for a loving home, safe environment and genuine enthusiasm for dogs. We would rather decline a booking than accept a match we are not confident about.
You meet the proposed carer before confirming. Boarding is home-style with no kennels, and our carers are vetted, DBS checked and covered by insurance.
Doggy Chums has been running since January 2013, after owner Damien spent three years boarding dogs in his own home. The long-term aim is to use the success of loving, home-style care to support animal conservation.
Local areas: Muswell Hill, Crouch End, Highgate, East Finchley and surrounding North London. Ask us to confirm your postcode.

Frequently asked questions
Will I meet the carer before booking?+
Yes. You meet the proposed carer first, discuss your dog's routine and make sure the match feels right before confirming.
How are prices worked out?+
Dog walking starts from £17. Day care, house sitting, boarding and training are quoted around your dog's needs, dates, frequency and the available carer.
Which areas do you cover?+
Our local focus includes Muswell Hill, Crouch End, Highgate, East Finchley and nearby North London postcodes. Send your postcode and we will confirm availability.
What should I tell you about my dog?+
Share their routine, temperament, exercise needs, dates and anything else that helps us judge the right service and carer.
Are all dogs suitable for home boarding?+
No. Home boarding is intended for friendly family pets. We discuss temperament, training, strength and routines before suggesting a carer, and we will not confirm a booking unless the match is suitable.
What do I need to bring for boarding?+
Bring up-to-date vaccination records, your dog's usual food, bed and lead, plus any medication with clear written instructions. We will confirm the full list before the stay.
How does payment work?+
A 50% non-refundable deposit secures a boarding booking, with the balance due 14 days before the stay. Your confirmed quote explains the payment schedule for the service you choose.
Is my boarded dog walked every day?+
Boarded dogs are walked twice a day on a lead. Off-lead exercise is only considered when requested on the booking form and agreed in advance.
