About Us
Hi, I’m Tracey, and Luna’s Doggie Den is the dream inspired by my furry bestie, Luna.
Luna is a spirited Labradoodle who came into my life in October 2022, thanks to a chance conversation with a friend and everything changed. Her joy, loyalty, and boundless energy on our daily countryside walks reminded me what really matters: canine companionship, time in nature, meaningful connection, and plenty of fun.
After a year of long commutes and too many missed adventures, I reduced my office hours to focus on the things I love most — dogs, countryside walks, the outdoors, and creating a safe, welcoming den where our pack can enjoy both outdoor adventures and cosy time indoors for cuddles and play.
Luna’s Doggie Den is a cosy, home-based daycare nestled just minutes from the fields and woodlands of Riddlesdown Common and our local park, Sanderstead Rec. Whether your dog is with us for the morning or the whole day, they’ll enjoy a peaceful routine of walks, rest, supervised play, and cuddles.
I’m trained in dog walking and canine first aid, have completed the Level 3 Daycare and Boarding course with the Institute of Modern Dog Trainers (IMDT), and am a proud member of the Modern Dog Walkers Association (MDWA).
We’ve now successfully completed our daycare licensing inspection where we received verbal approval, and are awaiting the arrival of our official licence. It’s been a big step for Luna’s Doggie Den, and we’re really looking forward to welcoming our first daycare guests very soon.
Exciting news March 2026! 🐾
Luna and I have been enjoying it so much that I’ve restructured my work to focus much more time on Luna’s Doggie Den. From mid-June 2026 we’ll be available daily for all the fun stuff — countryside walks, playtime, cosy rest breaks and lots of care and attention.
We’re ready to welcome more four-legged friends to Luna’s Doggie Den for days filled with adventure, fresh air and happy tails.
If you’d like to arrange a meet & greet so your dog is Den-ready to join the pack, please do get in touch.
Why Choose Us?
What sets Luna’s Doggie Den apart in South Croydon?
Our unique location, my passion for dogs, walking, and cooking and Luna’s inspiring story.
For Luna, our beloved five-year-old Labradoodle, the Den isn’t her first home or even her second but one thing is certain: it’s her forever home.
She came to us just before her second birthday a whirlwind of energy and excitement. With love, structure, and consistency, she blossomed into the calm, gentle doodle she is today. Some of you may even recognise her from our regular commutes into London, where she became a much-loved office dog, winning hearts with her affectionate nature and relaxed temperament.
In 2025, Luna was approved as a Pets As Therapy (PAT) dog something I’m incredibly proud of. Her gentle, reassuring nature now brings regular joy to residents at a local care home, a reflection of the calm and loving environment that helped her thrive.
At Luna’s Doggie Den, we offer that same nurturing approach: calm, consistent care in a relaxed home setting helping every dog feel secure and shine in their own way.
We keep our numbers small so each dog gets the attention and care they deserve and so you can build a trusting relationship with us too.
With the right mix of routine, companionship, exercise, and stimulation, our Enrichment Sessions gives your dog everything they need to thrive, while being kinder on your wallet than a full day of care.
For pups who’d benefit from extra company and calm companionship, we’re currently offering our Retreat Day at the Den which combines our Late Riser Enrichment Session with a full afternoon of companionship and gentle care. Availability is limited as we continue to shape our routine, so early booking is recommended.
