Trusted dog daycare, tailored for small groups

At Muddies, your dog gets calm, personal, home-from-home care in a carefully managed small group. We are based in Mitcham, close to Colliers Wood and Morden, and provide licensed, award-winning dog daycare for local dogs who thrive with familiar faces, thoughtful introductions, proper enrichment and plenty of individual attention. No stressful van journeys. No chaotic pack scenes. No one-size-fits-all care. Just a small family-run daycare where your dog is known, understood and happily tired by home time.

Officially The Best: Muddies Dog Daycare Wins Top London Award!

We are proud to have been named Best Dog Daycare of the Year – Surrey 2025/26 at the London & South East England Prestige Awards.

For us, the award is not about being the biggest. It is about doing the small things properly: calm group sizes, familiar routines, safe introductions, licensed care, enrichment, rest, walks and genuine relationships with the dogs we look after.
