Why Choose Eddie's?
At Eddie's, every dog enjoys the perfect balance of play, socialisation, and rest. With structured programmes, expert carers, and personal attention, we create safe, engaging environments where dogs truly thrive.

Meet Our Carers
Our carer's are the face of Eddie's, the people who bring our values to life every single day. More than staff, they are passionate dog lovers trained in behaviour, enrichment, and canine first aid.
What sets them apart is the way they build genuine bonds. From the very first enrolment day, each dog is paired with a buddy carer who takes the time to understand their quirks, preferences, and personality. This individual attention means, every dog is seen, known, and understood.
At Eddie's, our carers don't just look after dogs. They nurture trust, encourage confidence, and create the connections that make every day feel special.
