# Puddle & Pumpkin
Puddle & Pumpkin is a specialist dog daycare service based in Kennington, London, dedicated to small and medium-sized dogs. Founded by Amanda, an experienced dog care professional with over eight years of industry experience, the business pivoted in 2022 to focus on daycare rather than walking alone, following a health reassessment that prompted a shift towards more sustainable, enriching dog care practices.
The business caters to London dog owners in and around Kennington, Pimlico, Elephant Castle and Lambeth who need reliable daytime care for their dogs. Amanda specialises in understanding individual canine personalities, managing group dynamics and tailoring experiences to each dog's specific needs—particularly valuable for dogs with allergies or behavioural sensitivities.
What distinguishes Puddle & Pumpkin is its science-backed, behaviour-focused approach. Rather than basic exercise provision, Amanda employs techniques rooted in behavioural science, including clicker training, shaping and mirroring to build confidence and reinforce positive behaviour. Days combine structured routines with mental enrichment activities, instinctual play and calm decompression time, creating a holistic wellness experience rather than simple supervision.
Amanda is fully qualified and insured, with a demonstrated track record of client satisfaction reflected in strong reviews. Her dog-friendly home environment and intimate knowledge of local London parks ensure dogs receive personalised attention throughout the day, from early morning pick-ups to late afternoon drop-offs.
