Padifoot Pet Care has been running for over 14 years but I have worked in the animal industry for 22 years- yes since I was 11. The experience alone has taught me so much. I have BSc Honours in Animal Behaviour (Qualified with 2 degrees). I am licensed with 5 stars with Sevenoaks Council for all of my services.

Louise and her team have been amazing with our puppy, Winnie. We live in Greenwich, but are often in Chelsfield to stay with family, and they have been so flexible helping out whenever we need daycare / boarding. She loves to go and comes back exhausted, so we are happy! Prices are very reasonable, too. Would highly recommend. More...

I was reasonably happy with padifoots. The walkers are very good and they were always happy to provide updates on my dogs walk when I happened to speak with them. Found the owner to be slightly uncommunicative and forthcoming with information or responding to queries but as my dog loved the walkers i was ok with this. Just been told at 10pm on Sunday that I have 5 days to find a new dog walker as she has moved and will no longer be providing a service to dartford, to say I am fuming is an understatement and I know of other dog owners in my area in a similar position. Moving does not happen overnight and the lack of communication is disrespectful to a loyal client of nearly 3 years. I would not recommend them because of this as you never know when the "goal posts" will change More...

Padifoot Pet Care are the best in town! You only need to open their front door to see how happy the good boys and girls are, all wagging their tails. As a Home Board, the dogs get the absolute best treatment you could wish for when compared to standard kennels. The dogs are spoilt with lots of toys to play with, sofas to lay on, a garden to run around in, a wooden agility course within the garden, a paddling pool in the hot summer months... the list goes on! The dogs have such an active day, every day, with multiple walks in the local fields and woods, and non-stop playtime with their doggy friends during day care. Padifoot offer grooming services too if your pooch is in need of a wash, dry and trim. The owner has worked with dogs for over 15 years, so really knows what she is doing with the animals, how to take the best care of them, and how to properly deal with any troublesome situations. Your pet will be in the absolute best hands with Padifoot, guaranteed. I would recommend them to anyone. More...

My little guy Archie is a 1 y/o maltipoo and has been going to doggy daycare here twice a week since he was 6mths. He LOVES it. He has a great time with his doggy friends and adores the staff who take great care of him. He is completely exhausted when he gets home from the day's adventures. I also get him groomed here; he's not a fan so it's nice that it's done by people he knows and trusts. Highly recommend Louise and her team! More...

Louise and the girls have helped Buddy so much after I rescued him at 7 months. They put so much love and care for him which is incredible. I always know that he is in safe hands and will have an amazing time. He is always wagging his tail when he knows he is going to day care! =) Thank you Louise and the team =) More...

We have relied on Padifoot for over 3 years now to watch our two kitties, and we've only had good experiences. We recently had to fly out of the country for over 2 months straight, and Padifoot jumped in to keep our kitties feeling safe at home. Louise and her team do a phenominal job, and I highly recommend their service to anyone looking for pet care in the Swanley area! More...

Louise and her team have always been very caring and very helpful to all the animals. She goes the extra mile and rarely lets anyone down. She is an amazing dog trainer, Blitzen is just proof of how good she is and that is due to her training him. She is expanding her business with the new extension and everyday she is always actively making the place better for the dogs. There will be air conditioning next Summer!! Her service is definitely 5 stars all the way. More...

We’ve been using Padifoot’s services for almost 2 years now and would definitely recommend for someone wanting a reliable, friendly dog sitter and/or daycare. Our dog loves going to daycare and it’s great for us knowing he’s getting the attention, exercise and socialisation that he needs while we’re at work. Prices are really reasonable, staff are friendly and Louise always does her best to be flexible if our plans change. A big thank you to everyone at Padifoot! More...

They are amazing! Was so difficult trying to find the right people to take my puppy for walks when I’m busy but they are all so lovely. He loves going with them and I like that they do doggy day care, grooming, etc.. so your dog always stays with the same people he trusts! Highly recommend! More...
Elvira
Excellent pet care. Louise has the perfect setup. A living room just for dogs - with access to a garden, so they feel right at home. She looked after our dog for 2 weeks, and prior to that we had him stay with her so he would get used to it. And he loved it! Also we've used 4 different groomers, but Louise cuts our Cockerpoo best of all. He doesn't look to poodley, which doesn't suit him. 5 out of 5 stars! More...

I have been using Padifoot for over two years now and I cannot rate them highly enough. Louise and her ladies Chris Hayley Katie and Vicki are all fantastic and Holly and Madi absolutely love their time with them. My dogs are my world and I wouldn’t just let anyone look after them. Whether they are on their daily walks, booked in for sleepovers or being groomed I am happy as I know they are in fantastic safe professional hands. I must also point out they have taken such care since the start of lockdown, sanitising, bringing their own leads and ensuring social distancing at all times. They will never let you down and I promise you will not be disappointed. Recommend 100%. More...

Absolute life saver of a pet boarder/walker. If it wasn’t for Louise and Padifoot I would never go on holiday. Nothing too much trouble and they genuinely love and care for the dogs. Boarding is like a 5 star doggy hotel, mine balked at coming home! 1000% recommended. More...

Louise is wonderful. Our dog Rocco is hard work, Louise has always been patient with him and willing to work with us and him. Rocco attends 5 days a week and has a super time. Would recommend 100% for all your boarding and dog walking needs . Fabulous service. More...

Louise and the girls are amazing. Our dog has been walking with Padifoot Pet Care daily for 10 years and we use Louise for home boarding when we go away. She is super flexible with our weird last minute help request. More than everything else she truly cares about dogs and their welfare. She is knowledgable and patient (you need to with my crazy beagle!). Could not recommend a better team to look after your pet. More...

Great service, gives you a peace of mind your dog is in a family home from home environment and well looked after with the company of other dogs. More like a doggy holiday for them. Competitive rates. I wouldn’t use anyone else (now just need to book a holiday!) More...

Padifoot Pet Care is the only place I will ever leave my two mini Schnauzer on holiday or for day care! And I have tried many! ! The team's attention to detail and level of care goes above and beyond what I expect! Have been using their services for years and never had a problem ever (that says a lot for consistent level of service!). My pups come home super happy and that is a level of piece of mind that no money can buy! More...

We left our 3 year old crazy Cockapoo with Louise for 2 weeks this August and she did an excellent job looking after him. Louise has set up an amazing space for the dogs . They basically have their own living room, complete with sofas and blankets which opens up to a back garden where they can play and run around. To get our dog used to staying with someone other than us we had him go to doggy daycare too. Where he'd go on walks and play with other dogs. Louise provided lots of pics and videos of him having fun and looking happy. This meant your kids stopped worrying and enjoyed their holiday. Padifoot also does grooming and Louise knows her stuff on that front too. our Cockapoo has never looked better. More...

What do you love most about your job?
Being with animals. It’s been my
Long term passion to work with animals and would never give this dream up.
What inspired you to start your own business?
Miss treated in previous job working in kennels. I was there for 10 years. So I wanted to do my own thing, even though I was super shy at first!
Why should our clients choose you?
I have 23 years experience, I am a qualified animal behaviourist, DBS checked and license with Sevenoaks Council. I am serious about my job and will continue running my business for a very long time.
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
No this is not something that can be done online. This is a physical job and is based in my home and surrounding parks.

We have a special spray that we use on dogs from infected homes. We have hand sanitizer stations around the work place. We use our own leads where possible. Wear masks in homes that are infected.
Dog Walking
Dog walking in a group is a great way for your dogs to do what is natural for them- to play, run, have fun in a pack etc. We go to different parks and we make sure they are always safe whilst in our car. Fully DBS checked and insured. Also a licensed business to walk up to 6 dogs in Bexley, Swanley and Dartford and 4 dogs in Orpington. We know group walks are not for every dog so we do accommodate solo walks too.
Group walks include up to 4/6 dogs. £15 per hour for 1 dog. £25for 2 dogs.
Solo walks £25 for 1 dog. £35 for 2 dogs.
Doggy Day Care
Doggy day care is a fun filled day full of playing, dog walks and also a little bit of napping. This is based on my home where they will be dry in the winter as I have heating, towels and shower room for dogs. And in Summer the back doors are open with the fans on, TV blazing, paddling pool to play and get cool in etc. It is such a fun day for them.
I only take 8 dogs a day, so am a very small Day Care and we give a more personalised care, and 1 to 1 attention.
Very popular service and on high demand!
£28 from 7.00-5.30
