Noah's Bark Dog Day Care in Croydon

Noah's Bark is a dog day care run from the founder's home in Upper Norwood, near Crystal Palace. Emma started it in 2009, and the team includes a driver who was previously a dog warden. It is licensed by Croydon Council.

Dogs spend the day in a large garden with an air-conditioned log cabin, ball pits, paddling pools, agility equipment and scent work, and are never left alone. Groups are kept small and matched by size and energy, and puppies get rest time.

Noah's Bark also offers home boarding for up to two dogs at a time, group walks of three to five dogs, and puppy care. The Doggy Bus collects dogs from several south-east London postcodes.
