doggy day care Buckhurst Hill
Looking for a trusted doggy day care in Buckhurst Hill? At Eddie’s Doggy Daycare, we provide dogs with something far better than just supervision during the working day. We give them structure, exercise, social interaction and a genuinely fun environment where they can thrive.
Most dogs don’t want to spend the day waiting by the front door for someone to come home. They want to run, explore, play and be part of a pack.
That’s exactly what we’ve built.
For over 11 years, we’ve cared for dogs across Essex, Hertfordshire and East London, becoming one of the longest-running licensed daycares in the area. We’re also highly rated by Epping Forest & Broxbourne Council, giving owners confidence that their dogs are being cared for safely and professionally.
A Better Routine for Busy Owners and Happy Dogs
Dogs need more than just a quick walk and a food bowl top-up. They need movement, stimulation, social interaction and consistency to stay balanced and happy.
Our doggy day care near Buckhurst Hill is designed around those needs. Throughout the day, dogs enjoy supervised outdoor play, enrichment activities and dedicated downtime, helping keep both their minds and bodies active without becoming overstimulated.
For many owners, the difference becomes obvious very quickly, calmer evenings, happier dogs and far less boredom-driven chaos at home.
Over 6 Acres of Outdoor Space
One thing that makes Eddie’s different is the amount of room dogs have to enjoy themselves properly.
We have over 6 acres of secure outdoor play space, making us one of the largest daycare environments in the district. That means dogs can run, socialise and explore naturally rather than being restricted to small indoor areas.
Some dogs love zooming around with their friends all day. Others prefer slower walks, sniffing every blade of grass like it contains important information. Both approaches are absolutely welcome here.
Safe, Structured and Carefully Managed
Good daycare isn’t random. It’s carefully managed.
Every dog joining our daycare completes an assessment first so we can understand their temperament, confidence and play style. Dogs are then grouped with compatible companions based on size and energy level.
This creates calmer, safer social groups and helps dogs feel more comfortable throughout the day.
We also prioritise regular attendees, meaning dogs see familiar dogs and handlers each week. That familiarity helps build confidence, routine and stronger social bonds within the group.
Experienced Team Who Know Dogs Properly
Our fully trained team works with the dogs every day, allowing them to genuinely understand each dog’s personality and needs.
Staff receive ongoing training in canine behaviour, group management and safety, ensuring every dog receives attentive, knowledgeable care throughout the day.
It’s not just about supervision. It’s about understanding what helps dogs feel comfortable, settled and genuinely excited to come back.
Free Pick Up and Drop Off from Buckhurst Hill
We make daycare easy for owners, too. Our service includes free pick up and drop offs from Buckhurst Hill, helping fit quality dog care around busy schedules.
We collect directly from your home and return your dog after a full day of activity, socialisation and rest.
Everything is also managed through our petcare system, including bookings, vaccination reminders and collection logs.

WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS SAY ABOUT US
"Where to start, Eddie’s daycare has been part of my life for at least 4 years. I had 4 dogs at that time, and they went twice a week every week.
Over that 4 year period my dog family has grown and I now have 9 !!
Eddie has always been helpful and professional but also a friend. The staff are fantastic and my dogs absolutely adore them. They truly care and make sure all the dogs have a wonderful fun filled day.
It’s been great for them to mix with others in a safe environment...If anyone is thinking about a wonderful place for their dog to meet and play I fully recommend you go to Eddie’s."

"I love Eddie's Doggy Daycare, and so does Rusty my mini dachshund. He has such a fun day and I really enjoy seeing the pictures of his smiling face. He is usually so tried afterwards that he just crashes out, in a happy sleep! The friendly team pick up from home, whether you are in or not, and do everything to let you know your dog is back home safe :)
Would highly recommend to anyone who has a flexing work schedule - we do 1-2 days per week, which varies and there is never an issue with this (unlike other daycare's that want you to commit to the full week).
Eddie and his staff are the best!"
