Dog Walker

Our small, friendly team is expanding!

About us

House of Dog is a small but growing dog business in west London (Zone 2) with a service arm and a retail arm. We are known as the home from home your dog would choose and we like to do things a bit differently.

We walk in at least 10 different London parks and rarely do the same walk twice in a week. We head out of town whenever we can to explore the countryside. We encourage our dogs to play and dig and teach them how to swim.

We are passionate about sustainability and aim to keep our carbon footprint as small as possible. We want to spoil our dogs without spoiling the planet.

We pride ourselves on our professionalism and our agility as a business.
