DayCARE TO SUIT YOU
Traditional full-day daycare doesn’t suit every dog — many dogs don’t need a long day away from home. At Luna’s Doggie Den, our 5–6 hour Enrichment Sessions are thoughtfully structured around your dog's normal routine, providing adventure, enrichment, rest, and companionship in just a few hours.
Designed specifically for dogs living close to the Den, these sessions are ideal for local dogs who enjoy a balanced blend of companionship, exercise, rest, relaxation, and gentle mental stimulation, these sessions are designed to enrich your dog's day without the need for a full day away from home.
These sessions are tailored so that every dog's needs are met. Owners aren't paying for an afternoon of sleeping or overstimulation; they're investing in a meaningful, fulfilling experience that allows dogs to head home calm, content, and ready to relax in the comfort of their own home.
How it works
Our Enrichment Sessions are designed around what dogs genuinely need to feel happy, calm, and fulfilled.
1 hour walk
Our countryside walk is at least one hour long, and each dog’s adventure is guided by their own pace. Dogs are free to explore and enjoy as they wish — chasing Luna or other dogs, chasing a ball, sniffing, digging, zoomies, or simply staying close to me.
For safety and peace of mind, long lines are used where needed, and I always check consents with owners before off-lead fun begins.
Our Enrichment Session begins with a countryside walk, before returning to the Den for calm enrichment, companionship, and gentle activities.
Enrichment at the den
After our morning walk, dogs enjoy a calm period to rest, relax, and settle back into the home environment. This downtime allows them to recharge after their exercise, helping to create a balanced and enjoyable day.
During this period, I remain present, providing gentle supervision, companionship, and access to the garden for toilet breaks as needed.
Once everyone has had the opportunity to unwind, we move on to enrichment activities, play, and social interaction tailored to the needs and personalities of the dogs in my care.
This balanced rhythm of exercise, relaxation, enrichment, and companionship helps ensure every dog feels secure, content, and fulfilled throughout their stay at Luna's Doggie Den, so that they head home relaxed, content, and ready for a well-earned nap.
Local pick-up & Drop off
Local pick-up and drop-off are included, making the experience simple and seamless for owners.
Pick-ups and drop-offs are scheduled around our morning walks, so dogs spend minimal time travelling and maximum time enjoying fun activities at the Den.
Pick-up times: from 8:30 am, 10:30 am
Drop-off times: from 2:30 pm, and 6 pm
Please note: “from” times indicate the start of our collection and drop-off routes. Exact timings will vary slightly depending on location and route planning.
Our local transport service covers clients living within a half mile radius of the Den (CR2 9JU).
For regular clients, a key-holding service is also available for added convenience.
Dining at the den
Dogs are fed separately — either in different rooms or using barriers across open-plan spaces — ensuring each dog receives the correct portion and preventing any potential conflicts. Owners provide their dog’s meal, which is then fed at the Den at the appropriate time.
For safety reasons, we recommend that dogs — particularly our more active early risers— are fed after their morning walk, as exercise within 2–3 hours of a meal can increase the risk of bloat (GDV). Owners should provide their dog’s usual meal, which will be fed at the Den at the appropriate time.
Luna enjoys a daily home-cooked breakfast, and Den Dogs — along with their owners — have the opportunity to sample a portion of her breakfast. With prior agreement, a small amount may be incorporated into later enrichment activities. These snacks are optional and are not intended to replace your dog’s regular diet.
I have a keen interest in canine health and nutrition and have completed the IMDT Canine Nutrition course, continually building my knowledge through trusted recipes and expert resources.

Need a little longer, or live a little further away?
Our Enrichment Sessions are perfect for local dogs who enjoy a few hours of adventure, companionship, exercise, rest, and gentle enrichment. However, if you live a little further from the Den, or need care that extends later into the day, we also offer full-day daycare options.
Ideal for owners working longer hours, or for dogs who prefer not to be left home alone, our full-day sessions provide everything included in an Enrichment Session, along with additional companionship, relaxation, and supervised care in our comfortable home-from-home environment.

"I ran my own dog walking, day and boarding business for 5 years and Tracey is the only person I’d leave my setter and lurcher with (other than my mum!). They absolutely adore her and she really does love them like she does Luna. Highly recommend her"
Sarah
"We feel so lucky to have found Tracey for our dog Rocky. She began with puppy pop-in visits when he was just 12 weeks old and has gradually moved on to walks at his pace as he’s grown.
Tracey always checks in about how we’d like things done, so we’ve felt completely comfortable and involved throughout. Her communication is fantastic, and her updates are regular and reassuring.
She’s also gone above and beyond with helpful advice and guidance during our early weeks as new dog owners. It’s clear she genuinely cares about Rocky and his development. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her!"
Jo
"Tracey came highly recommended by another local dog walker and has been invaluable to us. She has been very welcoming to our dog who loves going out with her, as evidenced by Tracey's video updates from their walks. Tracey has been informative about her business so we know our dog is in very safe hands. Thank you!"
