Dog Walking & Outdoor Daycare in Nine Elms

4 Paw Friend is a local dog walking and outdoor daycare service covering
Nine Elms (SW8) and the surrounding streets. Group walks, solo walks and structured
outdoor daycare, seven days a week, with collection and drop-off from your door.

Dog walking in Nine Elms

Nine Elms has changed beyond recognition in the last decade, and a lot of the new riverside flats come with dogs but not much outside space of their own. We walk in and around Vauxhall Park and Nine Elms riverside walk, and we plan routes around the
time of day — quieter side streets at school run and rush hour, longer open stretches
once things calm down.

Every walk is with the same small team, so your dog is handled by someone who knows them.
You get photos and an update after each walk, and you can follow the walk in the app while
it is happening.

Group dog walks

Small, carefully matched groups — usually Vauxhall Park or Battersea Park. Good for sociable dogs
who get more out of an hour with company than an hour on their own. Dogs are grouped by size,
pace and temperament, never just by postcode.

Solo dog walks

One to one, at your dog’s pace. This is the right choice for puppies still learning,
older dogs, dogs recovering from injury, and anyone who is reactive or simply prefers their
own company. See how our walks work.

Outdoor daycare for Nine Elms dogs

Our daycare is outdoor daycare — your dog spends the day out and
active with the team rather than shut in a unit. We collect in the morning and bring your dog
home the same day.

• Half-day outdoor daycare — roughly four hours out, ideal if you are
  in the office part of the day.
• Full-day outdoor daycare — a full working day covered, with walks,
  rest and play built in.

Collection and drop-off in Nine Elms

We collect from your address in SW8 and bring your dog back the same day — we do
not board dogs overnight. Collection times are agreed with you, and we confirm the actual
time the day before so you are not waiting in.
