Paws & Pause | Dog Day Care | Brixton, Herne Hill

About

This social enterprise dog daycare facility operates in South London, providing structured daily programs that combine enrichment activities, supervised play, and scheduled rest periods. The facility maintains a 1:5 staff-to-dog ratio and features purpose-built spaces including quiet retreat areas and active play zones designed for canine wellbeing and development. The daycare operates on a personal handoff system without van transport, offering drop-off from 7:15am and collection until 11pm, including Saturday availability. Dogs are grouped with consistent companions each week, and owners receive regular updates throughout the day about their pet's activities and behavior. Beyond standard daycare services, the facility runs a six-month training program that provides work experience and mentoring opportunities for individuals rebuilding their lives, combining employment development with animal-assisted support. This dual mission approach addresses both professional pet care needs and community development goals in the local area.
