Luka, the owner and founder of Pawtopia Doggy Day Care & Hotel has always had a passion for dogs and grew up around dogs throughout his life, so after finishing working in investment banking it was natural for him to set up Pawtopia Doggy Day Care in 2015, which used his entrepreneurial skills to build a business that delivers the best in doggy care services in Essex.
Looking at what his competitors have done throughout Essex it was clear that there was a need for a home run doggy day care centre that could offer all the pros without the cons of so many others. Over the years, Luka has gone on to continually improve, upgrade and innovate his facilities and services, ensuring Pawtopia Doggy Day care remains one of UK’s leading dog day care service.
Don’t just trust our word on this take, as our local council have rated our dog day care centre as 5* and our dog hotel being awarded 5* as well. The top rating available. This makes us the only highest rated daycare centre in our district, as well as Essex’s leading daycare and homeboarding establishment that prides itself on always being ahead of the game in terms of our facilities and innovation in daycare.
