Board & Training for Waltham Forest

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.

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

Getting to Paws from Waltham Forest

I’m based in Ashford, roughly 80 minutes from Waltham Forest via the M20, M25 and M11 outside rush hour. Most London owners have me collect and drop off, so your dog never needs a train or a taxi.

“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
