About 4 Paw Friend — built on a lifelong love of dogs
Our story
Built on a lifelong love of dogs.
4 Paw Friend was founded in early January 2025 by Joe and his business partner — two best friends and lifelong dog lovers — with a simple mission: to take the stress out of your day, and give your dog the time of their life.
★★★★★
“Joe and the team have been amazing with Hugo. He’s benefitted greatly from socialising with other people and dogs, and never has a bad day with 4 Paw. If I could rate them higher I would.”
— Michael Knott, South London
From just a website, Joe built a fully integrated booking system, followed by our iOS and Play Store app — making it easier than ever to book, manage and track your dog’s walks on the go.
Today, Joe proudly owns the business outright, and we complete over 250 to 300 walks every week for an incredible client base of over 150 clients across South London.
We don’t believe in contracts — you can book as much or as little as you want. It’s all about flexibility, trust and building long-term relationships with our clients and their dogs.
We have a fantastic team, three branded vehicles (with another new one in the pipeline), and big plans to expand further across South London in the coming months. Our long-term goal is to cover more of South, East and West London.
Our business is thriving, and at the heart of it all is one simple thing: the love and care we have for dogs.
