Pricing

In reviews, some owners describe WagWorks as on the pricier side, while also saying the combination of care, structure and on-site services can feel good value for what is included.

Absolutely incredible! I looked at lots of daycares and nothing came close to WagWorks. Bella runs from the station everyday and never wants to leave. She is so well behaved and socialised. Couldn’t ask for a better team!

Finn has been going to WagWorks since the day they opened, and I truly can’t recommend them enough. He’s a very friendly, high-energy dog who needed to learn better “dog manners” and how to engage appropriately without overwhelming others. What sets WagWorks apart from typical daycares is that they’re not just supervising play — they’re actively helping dogs grow. They take the time to understand each dog individually, and Finn’s progress has been incredible to see. One of the biggest things they’ve helped with is teaching him how to self-settle. They recognise when he’s ramping up and gently guide him to pause and reset, so he doesn’t just build and build in excitement. That kind of thoughtful coaching is invaluable — a more stable dog is a happier dog. They balance physical exercise and socialisation with enrichment and mental stimulation, which Finn responds to so well. Because he lives alone, having a safe, structured environment for him to socialise and learn in is so important to me. I know he’s supported every minute he’s there, and I love receiving updates and seeing in the photos how much more balanced and confident he’s becoming. The team is also just genuinely lovely — kind, professional, and clearly invested in every dog. And their opening hours (from 7am on weekdays and open Saturdays!) have been such a game changer for me. Finn is ecstatic every time he arrives — and slightly less enthusiastic about leaving! I’m so grateful we found them.

I couldn’t love Wagworks more - I can’t tell you how much our dog Hank loves going there - he runs in every day and barely says bye. It has completely taken the pressure of finding dog care when we can’t be at home for the day. The team are amazing and it’s such a clever concept. Thank you Wagworks!!!!!!!!

I’m so happy I found WagWorks. I was a little unsure before joining, as I questioned whether my dog should be spending more time outdoors. But I have no regrets. He gets a walk outdoors, indoor play and indoor quiet time. My dog is so excited to go and the staff are wonderful. I love that they give report cards and that their in-house behaviourist works with the owner if there are any challenges the dog is facing. Also love the convenience of an in-house vet and the hours they operate (including Saturdays). It may seem costly, but I think mid- and top tiers work out well for what you’re getting. I would very much recommend. For reference, I’ve been a member for two months.

We honestly couldn’t recommend WagWorks Islington more highly. Our cocker spaniel puppy, Rolo, absolutely loves it there and the staff are truly incredible. The team went above and beyond for us when I unexpectedly went into labour and we urgently needed support with Rolo — something we’ll never forget. We also love the app (the updates are such a comfort), and the on-site vet care and grooming services make everything feel so easy and well looked after. Yes, it’s on the pricier side, but if it’s within your budget, it’s 100% worth it for the care, kindness and total peace of

The team are absolutely lovely, and you know they love every single dog. They’re so attentive and I completely trust them when I drop Stanley off as they clearly care about him. (And he is always excited when we get there) We know Stanley has such a good time whilst there, we get updates throughout the day on what he is up to, and this ranges from, training, agility, scent work and who he is playing with.

WagWorks is absolutely amazing! Our little border terrier loves his time there. They are so good at keeping him entertained! Thank you!!
