Doggy Day Care Reviews
These reviews come from real dog owners across Chelsea, Kensington, Fulham and the surrounding areas. Some have been bringing their dogs to us for doggy day care for years, others have only just joined the pack.
Here's what they have to say.
FUJI
"Fuji has 2 homes: one with mummy and one with MBFKC. They are the best daycare in London by far. My dog gets more excited to see the MBFKC team open the door to pick her up than me, and that is the only proof of the treatment she's getting I will ever need. She comes home happy, tired, socialised and ready to do it all over again!"

LIllie
"There are not enough words to describe the amount of heart, care and dedication Emma and her team put into making the most perfect doggy day-care! Not only does Lillie have so much fun, her confidence has also skyrocketed since joining the pack. We cannot thank them enough for their care, training and attention to detail."

PIPPIN
"We have been using MBFKC for a few months now and it has been a fantastic service. The team are clearly animal lovers and it shines through. The service is second to none. Collection and drop off every day is a breeze and at the price point they are offering, they go above and beyond. Would highly recommend!"

RAMBO
"I'm not sure if there are words for how amazing this daycare is! The team absolutely love the dogs as if they were their own. Our little pomsky, Rambo, can be hesitant to leave mum and dad but not when it comes to going to MBFKC! If you are looking for a daycare, this is the place to go!"

CHIBI
"MBFKC has been the most amazing experience for my nine year-old dog. I was in a soup when my dog sitter for nine years left with a very short notice. Where would I find someone who I could trust and also whom he would warm up to? While I was looking for places, I spoke to Emma and she explained the ethos behind the place, a safe haven for dogs where they would be cared for just the way they would be at home. My dog has now boarded with them, tried their doggy daycare services and their weekly walking services. He is so happy with them and the moment they pick him up, he greets them with a smile and trots off happily without looking back!"

Cavapoo brothers
"We are so incredibly happy we found Man's Best Friend for our two Cavapoo brothers. We started sending them at 4 months old, and one of them is quite anxious around most dogs, so we worried about how he'd cope. From day one, the team took the time to introduce him to the other dogs slowly and at his own pace rather than rushing the process. Every single member of the team is so kind, patient and caring. Knowing there's also an on-site vet gives us even more peace of mind. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of our boys!"

Darcy
"Every morning when one of those lovely ladies turn up at our door, Darcy would jump off the bed, without as much as turning back to say goodbye, and she's off for doggy day care! Her eagerness in taking leave gives me that much more peace of mind that she is happy. I love that she is constantly kept busy running, playing, doing some agility with a pack of doggies. And she comes home still full of energy, happy, and then she's off snoring in her bed. And an equally happy mum because her paws are rinsed off and she never comes home muddy."

Why owners keep coming back
A few themes come up again and again in these reviews: a team that knows each dog by name, the reassurance of watching the day unfold on camera, and dogs who are genuinely excited to be collected rather than dropped off.
Owners often mention the paddling pools, agility courses and dog beach club too. You can take a closer look at our doggy day care facilities, or explore the service areas across London including Chelsea, Kensington, Fulham, Westminster and surrounding parts of London.

"We first heard about MBFKC from some of our dog's friends. They all reported that it was the BEST daycare ever. The priority for us is Roxy's safety and wellbeing and it's so comforting to know that not only is she having fun, she's in safe hands. Thank you so much for doing what you do!"

"Jax has been a proud member of the pack since he was 4 months. Recently, they've increased the already luxuriousness of the service by adding a "beach", pools, more staff per dog and huge safe fields for them to play in. MBFKC are by far the most elite daycare service in K&C. I highly recommend them to anyone who loves their pup."

"Find yourself a daycare team like MBFKC that carries your dog from the parked van into your flat just because it's raining and the pup doesn't like the wet! Never experienced something so full of love, care and professionalism. I can't express how much I trust the team and really mean it by saying they are the BEST!"

★★★★★
"Man's Best Friend Kensington and Chelsea is the absolute best! Our dog Roger is always so excited when the team members come to our door to pick him up and comes home absolutely exhausted. The team is so attentive and kind, constantly updating us on Roger, responding in a timely manner and you can really tell how much they love these pups. I would 100% recommend them!"

"Emma and the girls provide a fantastic service, and it is clear to see how much they care about the dogs they look after! They are warm, friendly and very knowledgeable - and the best part is that they constantly update their instagram stories so I can see exactly what Ziggy and his friends are doing all day... and, no matter how much fun Zig has had rolling in the mud, he always comes back in great condition after a nice shower from them! I couldn't recommend Man’s Best Friend more – your pup will be in the best hands!"

"So glad we've found Man's Best Friend to take care of Bailey for her weekly day care and walks. Professional service through and through with good pick up and drop off time. Bailey had a great first day and updates were provided to know that she's had an eventful day. She came home content and happy (very sleepy!)"

"My dog launches himself to Mandy when she arrives to pick him up. His excitement is palpable and he cannot wait to go off with Mandy in her van. Mandy is always reliable and has a lovely cheerful personality and a big smile. You can really tell she loves her job and the dogs she cares for too. Looking at the Instagram stories makes my day and when my little fur ball comes home he is exhausted with gratitude for a wild day of pure play and joy with his fellow dogs. I highly recommend as I have to so many of my friends who now send their dogs there too!"

"I can't recommend Man's Best Friend KC enough! My puppy Rocky recently spent the day at their daycare, and I could tell right away how happy and well cared for he was. The staff are incredibly friendly, attentive, and clearly love what they do. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing Rocky was in such good hands. He came home tired, happy, and excited to go back."

"If you're like me, you hate being away from your furry best buddy, but when you work long hours or travel out of town, having someone as great as Emma care for your precious pooch takes all the worry out of being apart. She and her assistant have been so wonderful, so patient, and so caring with my gorgeous boy, Monte. He attends daycare at least three days a week and often boards when we're travelling. It is a relief to know that Monte is in such good hands when we're not with him."

Dog Walking Reviews
Not every dog needs a full day at daycare. Here's what owners say about our dog walking London service.
"I was over the moon with the outcome of Bugsy's dog walk. He was so happy and had the biggest grin on his return. I met Emma, the owner of the company, who picked him and dropped him off, she was an absolute delight and so lovely. Bugsy fell in love with her immediately and so did I. If you're looking for a trusted, professional and super friendly dog walker who will care for your dog as much as you do then this is the place."

"Best dog walkers ever. My pomeranian can't wait for his walk with any of the team from MBF and always comes back so happy and well exercised!"
