Home Care

Dogs are wonderful companions. They greet us with wagging tails after a long day, snuggle close when we’re feeling down, and fill our homes with love, laughter, and often a bit of mischief. Their loyalty is unwavering, their joy infectious, and their affection unconditional. This is why, for millions of households around the world, dogs are more than pets—they're family. We feed them, care for them, walk them, and even talk to them as if they fully understand us (and sometimes, we’re convinced they do). This deep bond we share is built on trust, routine, and mutual affection.

In 2006, Kate MacDougall was working a safe but dull job at the venerable auction house Sotheby’s in London. After a clumsy accident nearly destroyed a precious piece of art, she quit Sotheby’s and set up her own dog-walking company. Kate knew little about dogs and nothing about business, and no one thought being a professional dog walker was a good use of her university degree. Nevertheless, Kate embarked upon an entirely new and very much improvised career walking some of the city’s many pampered pooches, branding her company "London's Number One Dog Walking Agency".

Yet we love them still.
