Full-day DayCARE
At Luna’s Doggie Den, our full-day daycare is thoughtfully structured to provide a calm, enriching, home-from-home experience. The day flows naturally between countryside adventure, enrichment, rest, and companionship, allowing dogs to feel settled, secure, and part of daily life—not just managed in a group setting.
This isn’t about constant activity or filling time. It’s about creating the right rhythm for the dogs in my care—ensuring they are mentally and physically fulfilled, while also having the space to relax and recharge.
Owners can feel confident that their dog is not only well cared for, but truly understood—heading home content, balanced, and happy after a full day at the Den.
Full-Day Daycare
Daycare, Tailored to Your Dog
We offer three carefully structured daycare options, each designed to suit different energy levels, routines, and personalities—so every dog enjoys a day that feels just right for them.
1 hour walk
Our countryside walks are at least one hour long, with each dog’s adventure guided by their individual pace and preferences.
Dogs are free to explore and enjoy the environment in a way that feels natural to them—whether that’s chasing Luna or their friends, playing ball, sniffing, digging, enjoying zoomies, or simply staying close by my side.
For safety and peace of mind, long lines are used where needed, and all off-lead time is discussed and agreed with owners in advance.
Enrichment at the den
Each day at the Den is carefully balanced to include enrichment, rest, and companionship—allowing dogs to settle, decompress, and feel truly at home.
- Day at the Den dogs* return after their morning walk to a peaceful, balanced environment with rest, relaxed play, cuddles, enrichment, and the opportunity for a proper sleep
- Extended Day at the Den dogs enjoy everything included in our Day at the Den service, including their countryside walk, enrichment activities, playtime, companionship, and plenty of time to rest and relax in a comfortable home environment. Their day then continues with extended care and supervision at the Den until their owners are ready to collect them at a pre-arranged time.
Activities are thoughtfully chosen to reflect natural canine behaviours and instincts, helping dogs to unwind both mentally and physically.
Rest, Relax & Reset
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.
From around 4–6 pm, our day naturally slows down again as dogs settle into a further period of rest and relaxation. After a day of adventure, enrichment, and companionship, this quiet time gives them another opportunity to decompress and enjoy the calm, home-from-home atmosphere of the Den.
During these quieter periods, I remain present, providing gentle supervision, companionship, and access to the garden for toilet breaks as needed.
This balanced rhythm of activity and relaxation helps ensure every dog feels secure, content, and fulfilled, heading home happy and ready to relax with you for the evening.
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 carefully scheduled around our morning and early afternoon walks, so dogs spend minimal time travelling and maximum time enjoying fun activities at the Den.
Pick-up times: from 8:30 am
Drop-off times: from 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 in Riddlesdown, Sanderstead, South Croydon, Selsdon, and nearby areas (within CR2).
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 pups — 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 have the opportunity to enjoy this in their 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.

"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!"
