Pet care experience
Belly-rub & ball thrower! 🐾
Hi there! I'm a genuine dog lover who believes every walk should be fun, safe, and tailored to your dog's personality. Whether your pup loves long adventures, endless sniffing opportunities, or a gentle stroll, I'll make sure they get the exercise, attention, and affection they deserve. Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and I currently have three of my own—two that I've raised from puppies and are now 6 years old. I also have a wonderful rescue from a puppy farm, who I took on three years ago when she needed lots of care, patience, and encouragement. She's now a happy and thriving 12-year-old lady, and the experience has taught me so much about understanding dogs of all ages, backgrounds, and temperaments. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your dog, so I'll treat your furry friend as if they were one of my own, keeping you updated with photos and messages along the way. 🐶❤️
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
I decided to try Dave as he was recommended to me by a friend. I have a 6 year old Cockapoo who up until she was 5 had only spent a few nights at a time away from me staying with a family member. Being a lock down puppy she is very wary of new people but I knew Dave had rehomed an ex breeding bitch from Many Tears so he understood it would take a while for Ruby to warm to him. We built the visits up gradually and now she pulls me to his door runs in and having jumped up at him for strokes jumps straight up on the sofa and doesn’t give me a second glance. She is clearly very happy there and Dave keeps me updated with photos/videos of their walks or just chilling etc throughout her stay which is great. I would highly recommend Dave
The love and level of care that Dave will give your dog knows no bounds. They will be treated like royalty and given the highest standards of care. Reliable, kind, caring and going the extra mile is second nature to Dave when it comes to our four legged family members. I would have no hesitation in recommending him and his services, your pooch will be treated like royalty.

Schedule
I am retired and am passionate about my dogs making sure they have at least one beach walk a day whatever the weather! If the weather is hot I get up at 4.30 ish so I can walk them in the relative cool. Second walks tend to be woodland with rivers as they do like to swim!

Safety, trust & environment
I have a fenced garden and three friendly cocker spaniels to keep any visitors company. I go out with the dogs in the garden to keep them company.
Pets
A typical day
A typical day starts with cuddles and breakfast followed by walkies, then back home for a brush and yet more cuddles! Rest time next, for the dogs that is, then before tea a shorter walk.
