About Duncan's Dog Co.

Built from a love of dogs and the outdoors.

Duncan's Dog Co. was founded in 2011 by Duncan and Jess. The DDC journey began simply, walking the dogs of South West London and spending their days on Wimbledon Common fulfilling their outdoorsy dream.

After some time, it became apparent that there were very few facilities in the UK offering genuine quality care within a secure, enriching environment. That gap inspired them to set out on a mission to develop a daycare environment like no other.

Over the years, their children Harley and Ayda have been part of the journey too, helping to care for the dogs at every opportunity and creating a truly special bond between their family and the dogs who are part of DDC.

What they have achieved could not have been done without their dedicated team of staff. Read below to meet the integral members of the DDC family.

The Team

The people your dog loves.

Most of the team have been with us for years. They know the dogs by name, by habit and by personality.

Duncan from Duncan's Dog Co.

Duncan

Co-Founder

Since 2011

Growing up, Duncan's mum's best friend was a German Shepherd trainer, so he was always surrounded by incredible dogs. He was known as the 'crazy dog man' — and that early connection turned into a lifelong passion and a business he's proud of.

Jess

Since 2011

Jess grew up surrounded by German Shepherds and horses, which sparked a lifelong love for animals. That passion has shaped the way she connects with and cares for every dog at Duncan's.

Daycare Manager

After years in events and a stint running a brand roadshow for Nestle Purina, Becks discovered her love for working with dogs and went on to study canine behaviour. She joined DDC in its early days — back when it was just a field and some waterproofs — and has helped shape everything since.

Holly grew up with a Springer Spaniel called Peppa and has always loved dogs. She manages all boarding at DDC, making sure every overnight guest feels completely at home — and she'll tell you it's nothing like a typical 9-5.

Carlton from Duncan's Dog Co.

Carlton

Driver & Carer

Carlton spends his time off exploring woods and parks on his mountain bike with his dog — so working at DDC is a natural fit. He doesn't have a favourite breed; every dog has a different personality and he loves them for it.

Our standards

What we stand for.

Premium care should still feel personal, grounded and honest.

All breeds welcome

No breed discrimination. We look at the individual dog, their temperament and whether daycare is right for them.

Not kennels

Sleepovers are designed around familiar care and known dogs, not rows of runs or a kennel block.

Open 365 days

The team supports families across weekdays, weekends, bank holidays and busy seasons.

Collection across Surrey and SW London

Routes are planned carefully from Cobham across selected local catchment areas.

Puppy pathway

Puppies get gentle introductions, age-appropriate socialisation and steady support as they develop.

Clear communication

We keep owners in the loop and encourage honest questions about behaviour, routines and fit.
