Jack’s Pad Dog Care was founded in 2014, along with the real boss and inspiration behind it all—Jack the dog.

I know how tough it can be to leave your dog with someone else. They’re not just pets, they’re family. That’s why I’ve created a home-from-home environment where your dog will be cared for as if they were my own. Whether you’re at work, away on holiday, or just need a bit of time to yourself, you can relax knowing your dog will be having a great time—making friends, getting plenty of exercise, and, of course, lots of love and attention.

Based in Crouch End (N8), North London, I offer a boutique yet personal service, including daycare, walks, and boarding. I’m fully insured and pet first aid certified, so your dog is always in safe hands.

During the week, I head out for small, friendly pack walks in Trent Country Park. and other lovely green spaces in North London.

On weekends (for my boarding guests), I like to mix things up with trips to Highgate Woods, Queen’s Wood and Hampstead Heath—because who doesn’t love a change of scenery?

Pack walks and early socialisation play such an important role in a dog’s happiness and development. Being part of a small, balanced group helps dogs build confidence, learn positive behaviours, and enjoy healthy interaction with others in a safe, structured environment. For younger dogs especially, early socialisation can make a big difference in shaping a calm, well-rounded adult. Daycare and regular walks are also a great way to break up your dog’s day while you’re at work—helping to reduce boredom, ease anxiety, and keep them mentally and physically fulfilled.

I’m a small business and like to keep things that way. By limiting the number of dogs I care for each day, I can give each one the time, attention, and care they truly deserve.
