Why Choose 4 Paw Friend?
Founded in January 2025 by Joe and Richard — two lifelong dog lovers — 4 Paw Friend has grown to over 85 amazing clients and continues to welcome new dogs every week. As a two-person team, we provide trusted dog walking and structured outdoor daycare across South London. We do not operate a daycare centre and therefore do not offer centre-based daycare. Instead, our structured outdoor daycare gives dogs an active, enriching day outdoors in parks where we are fully licensed by Lambeth and Wandsworth. We also offer home boarding only when licensed to do so, in full compliance with UK animal welfare regulations. We will always make our current boarding licence status clear to clients before confirming any booking. With us, care, safety, and happiness always come first.
Choose 4 Paw Friend for trusted, professional, and loving care. With over 85 happy clients, more than 3,000 walks completed in 2025, and a growing reputation across Clapham, Battersea, Vauxhall, Oval, Kennington, Camberwell, Peckham, and Nine Elms, Joe and Richard bring passion, experience, and genuine care to every service we provide.
From handling large breeds to managing complex care needs, we have the skills to ensure your pet receives the best possible care.
Life can be unpredictable, so we offer last-minute bookings and can accommodate urgent requests, ensuring your pet is always looked after.
Whether it’s a quick stroll, social playtime during our structured outdoor daycare, or house sitting, we offer a tailored range of services to fit your dog’s routine and keep them happy and cared for.
We are fully insured by AXA and registered with the local authorities in London, giving you complete peace of mind that your pet is in safe hands.

With over 7 years’ experience and more than 3,000 walks completed in 2025, 4 Paw Friend is South London’s trusted choice for dog walking, structured outdoor daycare, and house sitting — proudly serving Clapham, Battersea, Vauxhall, Oval, Kennington, Peckham, Camberwell, Nine Elms, and Waterloo.
With 4,223 dog walks completed to date, 4 Paw Friend is South London’s trusted choice for professional dog walking, structured outdoor daycare, and house sitting across Clapham, Battersea, Vauxhall, Oval, Kennington, Camberwell, Peckham, Nine Elms, Waterloo, and beyond.
Every walk is carried out with care, attention, and a genuine love for animals. We’ve had the privilege of walking and caring for hundreds of dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments — keeping them safe, happy, and well-cared for every step of the way.
4 Paw Friend is fully licensed and fully insured, giving every dog owner complete peace of mind. We are licensed by Lambeth Council and Wandsworth Council to walk dogs in their parks and green spaces, and we hold comprehensive public liability and pet business insurance.
This means every dog in our care is protected — whether on a group walk, solo walk, during structured outdoor daycare, or while we are house sitting. Our insurance covers accidental injury, loss, third-party damage, emergency vet transport, and key cover, ensuring your dog — and your home — are always safe and secure.
We operate to the highest professional standards across Clapham, Battersea, Vauxhall, Oval, Kennington, Camberwell, Peckham, Nine Elms, Waterloo, and beyond.
We hold full pet care insurance, including keyholder insurance — so if keys are ever lost, your locks are covered at no cost to you. Most importantly, your dog is fully protected under our insurance while in our care. From dog walking and daycare to boarding and house sitting, you can trust 4 Paw Friend to provide safe, secure, and professional care every time.
At 4 Paw Friend, we understand that every dog — and every owner — is unique. That’s why our care is fully flexible and built around your routine, not ours. Whether you need early-morning walks, lunchtime drop-ins, structured outdoor daycare, or one-to-one support for dogs who need a gentler pace, we adapt to what works best for you.
We know life changes — shifts, travel, last-minute plans — so we offer a service that can change with you. Need an extra walk? A different pickup time? Temporary schedule adjustments? We’ll always do our best to make it work.
From energetic pups to older dogs who prefer slower strolls, we tailor every visit with understanding, patience, and genuine care.
We also know life doesn’t always go to plan. Work runs late, meetings get moved, trains get cancelled – and that’s where we step in. Our team specialises in last-minute bookings and schedule changes, so you can relax knowing that your dog will always be cared for, even at short notice.
With over half of our clients choosing solo walks, we’re proud to be South London’s leading provider of one-to-one dog walking. This ensures dogs who prefer their own space, or who simply enjoy undivided attention, get exactly what they need.
From Clapham and Battersea to Vauxhall, Oval, Kennington, Peckham, Camberwell, Nine Elms, and Waterloo, we cover all of Zone 1 & 2 South London. Wherever you are, we’re just around the corner, ready to support you and your four-paw friend.
At 4 Paw Friend, our passion-driven approach is at the heart of everything we do. This isn’t just a business for us — it’s a purpose, a joy, and a way of life. Founded by Joe and Richard, two proud gay business partners with a lifelong love for dogs, 4 Paw Friend was built on the belief that great pet care comes from genuine connection, dedication, and heart.
We wake up every day excited to see the dogs we care for, to build bonds with new ones, and to support the amazing owners who trust us with their family members. That passion shows in everything — from the energy we bring to every walk, to the patience we give nervous or elderly dogs, to the big smiles (and muddy paws) we go home with.
Our commitment has helped us grow into one of South London’s most trusted dog walking and pet care services, with over 75 five-star Google reviews from clients across Clapham, Battersea, Vauxhall, Oval, Kennington, Camberwell, Peckham, Nine Elms, Waterloo, and beyond.
People feel our care, dogs feel our love — and that’s why families choose us, stay with us, and recommend us.
At 4 Paw Friend, passion isn’t a slogan. It’s who we are. It’s how we work. And it’s why tails wag when we arrive.
Together with our dedicated team, we provide tailored solo walks, group walks, daycare, boarding, and house sitting, always putting safety, enrichment, and happiness first. Every review reflects our commitment to going the extra mile — because at 4 Paw Friend, dogs aren’t just pets, they’re family.
