Dog Walking and Daycare in Highgate
Highgate, N6, has some of the prettiest green space in London, and almost all of it is kept that way on purpose. Trimmed, tidy, managed. Lovely on a Sunday. A bit thin if you are a dog.

Dog walkers in Highgate N6
Highgate dogs go out with Nick and Emma, and they do not walk them in Highgate. They collect around here and head out to Arrandene Open Space in Mill Hill: proper woods, hardly anyone about on a weekday morning, and groups of six are permitted, so a dog gets a real pack around it.

Doggy daycare in Highgate
Muntjac deer live out in our Secret Woodland. They are shy, secretive little things, and you only ever see them where people do not go, so seeing one is proof of what kind of place it is.

We keep things calm
A calm dog makes good decisions. A dog wound up all the way to the park will meet whatever is coming at full pitch and make a poor choice. So we do not excite them, ever.
