Board & Training for Barking and Dagenham

Your dog stays with Tom and gets daily one-to-one training, then comes home with a handover session.

Door-to-door from East London

Flats and busy streets can make it hard to find a sitter in East London. Tom collects from your door, via the Blackwall Tunnel or the Dartford Crossing, and brings your dog home afterwards, so there’s no train or taxi with a nervous dog.

Barking and Dagenham is one of the East London areas Tom covers, alongside Tower Hamlets, Newham and Havering.

“Our golden retriever, Maverick, absolutely loves boarding with Tom – he greets Tom with pure joy every time he sees him! Tom always does such a good job taking care of Maverick and keeping him engaged, and we always come back to a happy and tired dog.”
Delle Chan · Kent · Maverick (Golden Retriever)
“We met Tom through dog training and he was honestly the best trainer ever. He would send us 5-minute videos showing exactly what he was doing with Bisous, whether it was lead pulling, recall, or even things like sit and stay, and coached us through everything.”
Freddie Berridge · Kent · Bisous
