Pet care experience

Experienced and accommodating - I love dogs!!

Hi!! I’m Bobbie! and I would love to walk your furry friend!! My husband, Gary, is also vetted, insured and licensed through Rover. He is indeed a great help and is happy to do the walking when I’m not available. Both of us love welcoming dogs into our home for boarding; in fact, we even offer a discount for stays longer than 6 nights! 🥰 Gary and I share a true passion for dogs and have been lucky enough to own and/or care for various breeds throughout our lives, both pedigree and mixed breeds. Together we have been the very proud owners of 2 dogs. Baxter was a 10 year old Irish Terrier, who sadly lost his battle with cancer and passed away. We adopted Baxter from a wonderful family in 2023. He was an extremely loving and friendly boy and we were lucky to have been able share our home with him for 2 years. Before this we homed a brood bitch Labrador for the Guide Dogs called Nan. We were blessed to have Nan as part of our family for 14 years. As a child, my first family dog was a mix of Cocker Spaniel and Chihuahua 🥰. She was quite a character! Snow, a white Spitz, and Schatzi, a black Pomeranian, joined my family when I was a bit older. Schatzi actually came to live with me when I was old enough to have my own place. When Schatzi sadly passed away, I got a rescue dog called Heidi, who we believe was a mix of Labrador and Whippet. Due to her rough start in life, Heidi needed a lot of training in the beginning, which I was able to do myself. Heidi was VERY fast, but thankfully after training, she settled down to be very loyal and obedient. Gary and I live in a rural location and very much enjoy our walks in the local countryside. We are in the position where we are able to give our love and attention to more furry friends. We would be more than happy to share our warmth and experience by walking and looking after that very special member of your family.

Doggy Day Care • Aug 27, 2026

Louie loved his stay with Bobbie and was so pleased to see her after previous visits. Louie can be very anxious and nervous, but Bobbie makes him feel right at home, takes him on some lovely walks and provides frequent updates and photos. We would highly recommend Bobbie.

Doggy Day Care • Aug 26, 2026

I cannot recommend Bobbie and Gary enough for dog day care! Wonderful, communicative, and sent photo updates all day long. I booked 2 half day after meet and greet to prepare my doggy for a longer stay which will happening next week. Choccy came home very happy and well-cared for. It is such a relief to find someone I trust completely. Thank you. Five stars!

Just the absolute best and we are so so happy to have found Bobbie and Gary! Our pug Eric has had such a brilliant stay- he made it quite clear he didn’t want to come home! He’s had so much fun with making new friends and we’ve loved having photo and video updates of his fun every day. Can’t thank Bobbie and Gary enough!

I am happy to walk your dog in the countryside, in parks or in the town; whichever suits you and your furry friend.

We will discuss most things at our meet and greet session, but these are some of the things I will need to know: Would you like me to walk your dog on a lead, or would you prefer me to walk your dog off the lead when it is safe to do so? Does your dog have any special behaviours that I should know about? Is your dog friendly with other dogs? Is your dog friendly with people? Does your dog have any dietary requirements? Does your dog need any special sleeping arrangements?
