Safety, trust & environment

I am fully insured. We do have two fenced gardens, but presently I am not boarding as we have a six month old puppy that is still settling in so I am only currently offering drop ins and walks. It's important to reiterate that i do not take my dog along on walks with your pets, they will have my full attention. I have experience with both large and small dogs and I currently regularly walk a variety of different breeds. I have looked after many anxious dogs and I'm pleased to say I have never not won any of them round and it's really rewarding to earn their trust and eventually see them eagerly waiting for me to go out on an adventure. I will only ever let your dogs of the lead with your permission and if that's something you would like me to do, I generally wait until we have been on a couple of walks and know each other a bit better. I have worked with dogs that are overweight for various different reasons and have provided lots of stimulation and exercise to help them back to a healthier weight range. I have worked with dogs providing multiple drop ins and walks per day when their owners have been on holiday and I've also administered oral medication when needed. I will always follow the owners lead and I am always open to answering any questions no matter what they are as I understand that trusting someone with your pet is not always easy.

Pets

All dogs cared for as if they where my own.

Pet care experience

Nothing gives me greater joy than taking care of animals. I have taken care of dogs for the best part of my life with over 25 years of experience. I am currently studying towards a level 3 diploma in canine welfare & behaviour. Looking after dogs is my passion and I am at my happiest around them, wether that be with our own family pet, a six month cockapoo called Sunny or your four legged friends. I currently offer walks and drop ins and all my walks are 1:1 with your dog or dogs so I can give them my undivided attention. I want you and your fur babies to feel as comfortable as possible so I offer a meet & greet if you feel you would like that in order for me to get to know your pet and any particular needs they may have followed by a free introductory short walk to give your dog or dogs the chance to get to know me. Or if you know your dog is comfortable around new people and you'd like me to just get straight to taking your pet out that's absolutely fine too, I'm happy to just have a conversation on here to get to know your pets needs and cover some basic information such as is your dog reactive, anxious, do they have any triggers etc and most importantly are they allowed a treat whilst out and about! I am fully insured.

We couldn’t be happier with David! Our dogs absolutely adore him, and it’s clear he genuinely cares for them. He always takes the time to ensure they get a great walk, often going above and beyond with extra time and attention. We love the photos he shares from their adventures, it’s so reassuring to see them happy and having fun. Reliable, kind, and truly passionate about what he does, we highly recommend him to anyone looking for a fantastic dog walker!

David is superb. Attentive, kind, clearly delights in caring for Peggy and came early and well prepared. So very happy to have found him.

Peggy clearly enjoyed her walk with David. He was easy to book with and arrived early having texted twice with info. Seems a natural with dogs, definitely recommend and will be booking in with Dave again soon.

David was absolutely great! Provided great and clear communication prior to the walk. David arrived early and even had Taeko out longer than planned. Couldn’t be happier with the service provided by David!
