A happy dog at Nativo LDN dog day care

NATIVO

Nativo started with a simple idea: that every dog deserves care that feels like home. Welcoming space built around real connection between dogs at play and the people who love them.

How it all happened:

Walks & park visits ๐ŸŒณ

We've been dog owners and dog walkers for years, so dogs have always been part of daily life. Our journey started with park visits.

Then, a surprise ๐Ÿถ

One day Ivo surprised Natalie with Luna โ€” friendly, sociable, never happier than when she's making new friends. A textbook dachshund.

Park friends ๐Ÿฆฎ โ†’ playdates

Park friendships became playdates. Playdates became regular sleepovers. Before long we were looking after other people's dogs as a little business.

A small home in Fulham ๐Ÿ 

Today we run a small, home based daycare. Ivo leads the day to day care, Natalie's hands-on alongside him, and Luna is still very much in charge of greeting every new guest at the door.

The three of us.

What we offer

Care that feels like home for small to medium dogs, all day or just for a stretch of it.

Why owners trust us

A real home, never a kennel

Your dog stays in our cozy home in Fulham, never a row of cages. We only ever host two or three at a time, so the day stays calm, not chaotic.

The same faces, every time

The same small team every visit: Ivo, Natalie and Luna. No rotating staff, no strangers. The people who meet your dog on day one are the ones who look after them throughout.

A free meet & greet first

Come round for a free meet & greet before you book a thing. No commitment, just a chance for you and your dog to see the home, meet us, and decide it feels right.

So sweet with Milo, kept him comfortable the entire time and sent me lots of videos and pictures! He was very happy the entire time.

Ivo was absolutely amazing with Monty! Monty also absolutely loved spending the day with their sweet Luna and can't wait to go back. Super communicative and trustworthy.

Ivo took such great care of our two pups. He treated them just like they were family and included them in his daily routine and social outings. I wouldn't hesitate to ask him to look after them again.

Ivo accepted my last minute request for daycare and was such a great fit! Very knowledgeable and patient with my dog. He sent photos throughout the day and I could see how happy my little one was. Will definitely book again!

Ivo (and Natalie) were amazing and so easy to deal with! They looked after our dog Teddy for 3 days whilst we were away on a family holiday. We got photos everyday and they took Teddy everywhere with them. Ivo even met my sister in law from the station to collect Teddy. Teddy also got on so well with lovely Luna. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend! Thank you!

Ivo was great, communicative, and prompt. Mila clearly had a fun time by the photos he shared. I would recommend him to a friend.
