A SMALLER, MORE PERSONAL TYPE OF DOG DAYCARE
We deliberately keep our daycare small so every dog receives plenty of individual attention and becomes part of a familiar, settled group.
THE OPPOSITE TO A LARGE COMMERCIAL DAYCARE
Dexter’s Dogs is intentionally small. We offer cosy, home-style dog daycare - NOT a large field-based / kennel-style environment.
Our dogs become part of a familiar little group, with plenty of individual attention, walks, play and quiet time.
This is especially welcomed by owners of smaller dogs.
peace of mind for you - guaranteed fun for your dog
We all want the same thing for our dogs when we can't be with them - a safe pair of hands to care for them.
That's what we offer here at our friendly and highly experienced daycare in Borehamwood.
We are tucked away in a quiet cul- de-sac, and three steps from our front door are wonderful rolling fields and woods. It's a real paradise for pooches!
We offer all the comforts of home, with large squashy sofas and luxurious pet beds, plus a secure and private garden.
And as there are two of us, our guest dogs are never left alone.
We are both lifelong dog owners, and we have each fostered and rescued several times.
Over the past fifteen years, we have been privileged to care for many different types and breeds.
Most of our daycare regulars started coming here as young puppies and we have watched them mature into wonderful adult dogs.
Seeing the friendships that develop between them is a real joy to behold.
Any new members of the group are carefully vetted to ensure that only soft-natured, sociable dogs become part of the gang :)
We take the responsibility of looking after people's precious dogs very seriously.
Dexter's Dogs is licensed with Hertsmere Council, and insured with a specialist pet care company.

trusted by local dog owners
Our ethos is simple: we provide the type of care we would want our own dogs to experience.
And because we keep our numbers low, and there are two of us always here, each dog enjoys a level of attention that is unrivalled and really valued by our clients.
We tailor care to each dog’s needs, whether they thrive in gentle social play, quiet walks, or simply enjoying calm downtime - because no two dogs are the same.
It is this highly personalised approach that is so valued by owners from Radlett, Elstree and Borehamwood. We also have owners bringing their dogs to us from slightly further afield, including Stanmore, Bushey and Barnet.
🐶 Joining Dexter’s Dogs
To ensure that we are the perfect fit for all of our guest dogs, we offer the following joining process:
Initial conversation & onboarding form
Hour long meet and greet
Trial day - to ensure your dog is happy and relaxed
Most of our dogs attend on a regular weekly basis, allowing them to become part of a familiar, settled group.
We are best suited to dogs who enjoy social interaction in small groups.
Spaces are limited to maintain a calm environment; we keep numbers low intentionally.
small walking groups and recall training
Our daycare dogs enjoy wonderful walks and we do recall training with all of them, using both whistles and verbal cues.
Safety is always our top priority and we only allow dogs off lead once we have established a really solid recall with them.
Some of our dogs love a lively game of Frisbee!
We are blessed to have stunning parkland right on our doorstep and we spend a lot of our time there, enjoying gorgeous walks.
All dogs are thoroughly cleaned and dried afterwards.
