About

Dog Walking, Pet Stays & Socialisation - Brighton, Hove & Nearby Areas

Structured walks & exercise, cosy stays, and confidence-building experiences for every breed.

What we do

At Dogtor Appa, we provide structured walks, cosy stays, and socialisation for dogs of all breeds and temperaments. While every pet is welcome, we are especially experienced with dogs facing challenges such as reactivity, aggression, anxiety, or undersocialisation.

Using calm, desensitisation-based methods, we help dogs thrive physically and emotionally — while giving owners peace of mind.

Our story

Dogtor Appa began with our Akita, Appa, whose calm, balanced nature made him a natural stooge dog. Over the years, he’s helped hundreds of dogs across Brighton work through behavioural and socialisation challenges, guiding difficult dogs toward confidence.

His impact inspired us — Sanmi and Iliyana — to create Dogtor Appa, a service built on the same patience, structure, and understanding. Together, we continue to shape everything we do with a shared passion for helping dogs thrive and owners feel at ease.

Testimonials

Don't Take Our Word For It

“Sanmi is a wonderfully warm dog carer. Both of my schnauzers were so happy in his care. He sent lots of photos and videos and I know that they had a special holiday of their own whilst we were away. We would love Sanmi to look after them again in the future!”

Superb service from a highly skilled and friendly staff. They made sure everything was perfect and were always available to answer any questions I had. Highly recommended!

Excellent service! They were prompt, professional, and very knowledgeable. They handled everything with care and precision. I couldn't be more pleased with the service provided.

Impeccable service from a fantastic provider. They were professional, friendly, and really made sure I was happy with every aspect of their service. I've already recommended them to several friends!
