Our company's founding story started with a deep love for dogs.

Muddies, located near Colliers Wood in Mitcham, South West London, offers a nurturing environment where your furry friends thrive. Launched in August 2023 by Kiri with support from her husband Emile, Muddies evolved from their previous venture, Doggy Two Shoes, which began in 2018.

Kiri, a retired oncology nurse specialist, left nursing to raise a family and establish Muddies. Emile, experienced in raising working dogs in South Africa, shares Kiri’s deep passion for dogs. Their commitment and ability to work from home enable them to provide exceptional daytime doggy care.

Inspired by their love for animals and sustainability, they founded Muddies to meet the growing demand for eco-friendly, quality dog care.

Kiri, the founder of Muddies, is standing at the entrance of Muddies Dog Daycare, smiling and holding leashes attached to several dogs. The dogs include a Border Terrier in the foreground, a Beagle, a Border Collie, and a large black-haired German Shepherd named Max. The warm, welcoming atmosphere of Muddies is captured in this image, highlighting the friendly and caring environment Kiri has created for the dogs.

The scene captures a moment of family togetherness and connection with their environment, reflecting the values and atmosphere of Muddies Dog Daycare.
