Amy - General Manager
Dog history?
I have worked with dogs of all shapes and sizes for around 6 years now and I absolutely love working in day cares. This is where dogs have the most fun and we are lucky to get to witness it.
Best moment at Capital?
My best moment at Capital so far is an ongoing thing really; I love how many dogs’ lives we are a part of. I look after these little fur babies like they are my own and they play such a huge part in my life.
Fave breed?
Husky. Silly, bouncy, noisy, big cuddles, super energetic. Plus, I own one!
Which breed of dog are you most similar to?
Golden Retriever. Outgoing, trustworthy and with a happy approach to life!
Interests outside of work?
I spend a lot of time with my Husky, Ghost, as he makes me so happy, but when I’m not out and about with him, I’m either at the gym or seeing friends.
Charlii - Day Care Assistant
Dog history?
I have always been around dogs since my family adopted Tycho the Staffie pup when I was little. Since then, my parents have been fostering many dogs and I have worked at 2 doggy daycares, growing a love for so many breeds and fluffy personalities. Plus now I have my own dog, Bear.
Best moment at Capital?
My favourite moment at Capital has been during the Summer when we get the paddling pools out and the dogs go crazy for it.
Fave breed?
Hungarian Pumi – They are clever and adorable!
Which breed of dog are you most like?
Pomeranian – Small and energetic with a high pitched bark!
Interests outside of work?
Outside of work I like to go on long walks with my dog to new places – we live on a boat so are able to explore the canal networks and find hidden gems!
Eleisha - Day Care / Admin Assistant
Dog history?
Growing up I spent a lot of time on my Auntie’s farm, and she always had dogs running around! She’s a dog behaviourist and would often take me to her appointments. These days we have a Romanian Rescue pup in the family that I adore. I am also studying for a Level 3 qualification in Animal Care.
Best moment at Capital?
It’s hard to pick a specific moment but every time I arrive at the field and see friendly doggy faces, I feel happy!
Fave breed?
Lurchers! They love to explore but are super docile and loving at home. I am guilty of loving Cavapoo cuddles too.
Which breed of dog are you most like?
I would say a Labrador. I’m a friend to all and always up for a sociable occasion. I’m easy going but have bundles of energy!
Interests outside of work?
I absolutely love to travel; I aim for one long haul trip a year! Stomping around the countryside, spending time with friends (pooch friends too) and rock concerts are also my jam.
Gemma - Site Manager
Dog history?
My family have always had dogs; I grew up with a rescue Lurcher who I was glued to throughout my childhood. I would love another but – until then – that gap is filled seeing all the dogs every day!
Best moment at Capital?
Snow day, seeing the dogs go crazy rolling around in the snow was amazing, especially the puppies that hadn’t experienced it before.
Fave breed?
Viszla: Super smart, hilarious characters and absolutely crazy!
Which breed of dog are you most similar to?
Dachshund: Small, noisy, energetic and love nothing more than wrapping in a warm blanket.
Interests outside of work?
I love to go on long hikes and travelling. I’m also a big gamer.
Jacie - Day Care Assistant / Social Media Manager
Dog history?
I have worked with dogs or around 5 years. But my passion started through my family, who are avid agility fans, rescue volunteers, and partake in dog shows.
Best moment at Capital?
In the summer when the big pool is out, helping all the dogs splash around
Fave breed?
Retrievers, Salukis, Sausages, Brussel Griffons – you name it !
Which breed of dog are you most similar to?
A Doberman- big and scary on the outside but a big old softie.
Interests outside of work?
I am a keen runner and figure skater! You’ll probably catch me in Finsbury Park doing the park run.
Jake - Day Care Assistant
Dog history?
I grew up with a Border Terrier and Jack Russell x Border Terrier. I’ve also done dog walking and sitting over the years before joining Capital.
Best moment at Capital?
Getting to spend everyday with these pups, especially when the sun is out!
Fave breed?
Would have to be a Border Terrier or Staffordshire Bull Terrier.
Which breed of dog are you most similar to?
Irish Wolfhound. Calm, tall and Irish.
Interests outside of work?
Anything creative! Art, fashion, music, film.
Kayleigh - Deputy Manager
Dog history?
Before I joined Capital, I was a dog groomer. I’ve always loved working with animals, making them look adorable and seeing the smiles on their owners faces after a big transformation haircut was a bonus!
Best moment at Capital?
Arriving at the fields every morning and being greeted by all the excitable dogs who are so happy to see me and can’t wait to run around with their friends all day!
Fave breed?
I think it would have to be Cavapoo! They’re affectionate, always want cuddles and are as cute as a button!
Which breed of dog are you most like?
Corgis. I’m not the most athletic in the bunch but I’m outgoing, full of character and love being friends with everyone! Not to mention, just like Corgi’s, I’m always hungry!
Interests outside of work?
If I’m not gaming or reading a book, I love relaxing with my feet up on the sofa with a good film and takeaway.
Liam - Day Care Assistant
Dog history?
I grew up with four Boxers (not at the same time; that’d send anyone insane) and my mother worked with dogs. So I had a childhood surrounded by them.
Best moment at Capital?
The best moment is continuous. I get to spend my days with dogs, how can any single day be beaten?!
Fave breed?
Definitely Boxers. They’re just absolute clowns and the perfect family dog. Picture a whirlwind of wiggles and slobbery kisses, wrapped up in a package of pure goofiness.
Which breed of dog are you most similar to?
I’d have to say an Afghan Hound… purely due to my long luscious locks.
Interests outside of work?
I’m a big music fan, and musician. I’m also a big Manchester United fan much to my own detriment.
Megan - Day Care Assistant
Dog history?
Before joining Capital I was a dog walker alongside my other job. Spending time outdoors with these furry bundles of joy was always the highlight of my week, and I feel so lucky that I now get to do this every day! We’ve always been lucky enough to have dogs in the family, with the most recent addition being our loveable rescue Sasha!
Best moment at Capital?
I find it so hard to pick one particular moment as coming in always puts a big smile on my face! But if I had to pick one I’d say it was seeing everyone dressed up in their spooky Halloween costumes – cuteness overload!
Fave breed?
Airedale terrier! They’re super outgoing, fun and loveable dogs with heaps of energy and a LOT to say – although I might be slightly biased as we do have two in the family!
Which breed of dog are you most like?
I’d say a Staffie – friendly and loyal with a gentle and protective nature. I’ve also got lots of energy!
Interests outside of work?
Anything outdoors and I’m in my element! I love to go hiking and camping whenever I get the chance, and I’m a big music fan too.
Seb Byrd - Proprietor / Founder
Dog history?
I grew up with family dogs and then volunteered in a dog sanctuary which led to me – inevitably! – adopting 2 unwanted pooches. I stepped out of the corporate world to start Capital way back in 2009; a way of combining a job with a real passion. The novelty has never worn off.
Best moment at Capital?
Undoubtedly founding the company. Doing so has enabled me to care for fantastic dogs of all shapes and size, and to work with some great people.
Favourite breed?
Working Labradors. Granted, I’m honour bound to say this as I have one. Peekay is genuinely the world’s worst retriever, but he is a lovable beast, and he never fails to make me laugh.
Which breed of dog are you most like?
Beagle. Friendly, outgoing, wilful & occasionally noisy!
Interests outside of work?
Running Capital and being a family man does not leave much time for anything else!

Saad Akbar Khan
He goes every Tuesday now and always greats them happily when they come to pick him up and comes back also tail wagging, happy and exhausted. Feel good about sending him there - he lives his best pup life at Capital! They sent lots of pics of Leo having a ball in the first day and continue to do so.
Annie Wyn

Charley Logan
The best doggy day care out there!! Our dog Maple has the best time at Capital Dog Care, her tail starts wagging with excitement when she recognises the pick up van. We know she’s very happy and very looked after with them.
Katie Huggins
Capital Dog Care is absolutely fantastic; from the simple booking system and morning pick up (where Biscuit runs like a greyhound to Jake with his tail wagging enthusiastically), to the mid-day photos of him and his new friends, and the super easy drop off.
Francesco Luigi Giardiello
Amy and her team have been great with Oz, always extremely flexible and responsive. Oz has a great time in the fields and always comes back nice and clean and super tired.
Chris J
We were initially a bit apprehensive about how our (very anxious) puppy would get on, but the team were very reassuring, and he now has a great time. They are all lovely, as well as being prompt, reliable and communicative. Could not recommend more highly.
