Dexter's Dogs
daycare with a difference!
We offer a small, friendly, and highly experienced dog care service.
John and I are a brother-sister team and have both fostered, rescued, and taken care of a wide variety of dogs over the past eleven years.
Our guests are with us 24-7 and are never, ever left alone.
They are welcome on the sofas and beds and are part of the family: we offer a home-away-from-home in all respects.
We are very lucky to have miles of beautiful parkland right on our doorstep. The rolling fields and woods of Red Road Park are a canine paradise! As we have been walking there for years, we know the best routes and trails and our guest dogs absolutely love having all this space to enjoy and explore :)

All potential guest dogs are invited for a no obligation meet and greet. This lasts for one hour and is so I can start getting to know your dog - and vice versa :)
After the meet and greet, if we are all happy to move forward, we will ask you to bring your dog for the day. Your pup will enjoy at least one lovely long walk and will meet a few of our regular guests.
We recognise that dogs are all individuals, with their own likes and dislikes. It's fine if they prefer not to play, but they must be comfortable sharing sofas and space with our other guests.
We send regular photo updates throughout the day - so you can see who your dog is with and what they are getting up to!
We want your dog to have a wonderful time, and for you to have total peace of mind.

Dexter's Dogs is licensed by Hertsmere Council, and we have specialist pet insurance.
I also do ongoing training with the Institute Of Modern Dog Trainers (IMDT) to ensure I am up to date with the most kind and effective training methods and approaches.
Please note: we are not able to offer care for dogs who:
- exhibit resource guarding (intense possessiveness over space, sofas, people)
- dogs who are highly fearful around other dogs
- any dog with a history of aggression towards either other dogs or towards people
