A family, not a kennel.

Oak & Paw is run from our family home in Potters Bar. We keep numbers small, so every pet gets proper attention and a routine that matches home.

Who we are

We've looked after dogs of every size and temperament for over five years, including large and reactive dogs, and plenty of French Bulldogs. Cats are welcome too, for stays with us or visits at home.

The whole family helps at home, so your pet is never short of company. You deal with us directly, every time.

They'll be in good hands with us and never short of attention.

How we look after them

  • They live in the house with us, never in a kennel or a run
  • Lots of walks and attention through the day
  • We keep to their routine: food, walks, sleep and medication
  • Photo and video updates every day
  • Happy to meet first if you'd like, but it's never required

Insurance

We're insured through Protectivity Pet Business Insurance, including Public Liability and Care, Custody & Control cover for dogs while they're with us.
