Dog and cat lover at heart

Pet care experience

We've had dogs and cats as family my whole life. I live in Ham with my husband and our 2 teenage children. My 15 year old son, J ackson, helps me with walks and day care. Our doggie buddy is Derby, who's an active 9 year old male Doberman, very well socialised with other dogs. I'm experienced with all breeds, including large breed, puppies and confident to look after those who may have behavioural issues, special needs or health conditions. We can also help with basic training. We will look after your furry buddy as if they were our own. We offer flexible availability and an animal friendly car if needed. We love waking through the local Kingston and Richmond area parks. After walks, your dog will be returned home to you with clean paws. We also offer all natural treats with your approval. Happy to visit your home and play with your cats too! We will do our very best to ensure they're safe and well loved whilst you're at work or away. April and Jackson

April was promptly on time and such a lovely kind lady. Lola doesn't take to strangers kindly however April knew how to handle her by not pushing the boundaries when first meeting her and slowly gaining her trust with confidence. She was very professional/knowledgeable and clearly experienced in handling dogs. April had asked lots of questions in advance as was well prepared. I was nervous to let Lola go given how tricky and nervous she can be but she was super happy on return and the two of them had a lovely long walk with no dramas. Lola was relaxed on arriving home. I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending April, we will be booking April again for sure. Thank you April, there are not many people that can handle Lola so super pleased to find you.

April has looked after our dog, Ziggy, on numerous occasions and I would happily recommend her as a dog walker or dog sitter to anyone. Ziggy loves her and is always happy to see her. She even did some training with him when he was a puppy on one of the first times she looked after him. She is a natural with dogs and is very caring, trustworthy and super reliable.

April is wonderful with dogs, even dogs that don’t trust people. She is confident and in control but caring and fun with them. She even does some lead training when she takes my 1 year old pup out which is very helpful. I have a lot of trust in April and would highly recommend her to look after your pup.
