Man’s Best Friend

It’s true dogs are Man’s Best Friend. Loyal, faithful ,loving , caring and supportive. We humans get so much happiness from the companionship and safety of dogs give us they really are our best friends. I’ve owned dogs most of my adult life Ella the Rottweiler Bolly Weimaraner Max the Doberman Pepper a mini Schnauzers and Alifir a little Bichon. I started my recent dog journey after corporate life during the pandemic and simply did volunteering to assist owners with Poppy the Frug, Maxwell and Lily two lovely Lurchers. 🐕‍🦺🐾 and Bear and Zeus a pair of German Shepherd dogs . I had too time on my hands . So I volunteered, So much satisfaction and such a rewarding thing to experience within your community. I decided to turn my hobby and love for jobs a little more seriously,

Dog Walking • Jul 16, 2026

Outstanding dedication to working with animals can be seen by David’s exceptional service. He made my dog and myself feel very reassured. She usually is very nervous when meeting new people and other dogs. Within moment she was wagging her tail and I could tell she felt safe in his hands. I couldn’t believe how she bonded with other dogs with his professional and devoted care. His service is really a point of difference and does things very differently to other dog service providers and I couldn’t recommend him anymore. Thanks David from the both of us, was an absolute pleasure!

David was absolutely amazing with Kobe! I’ve never used rover before so I was a little nervous and I booked in a little close to the date I needed him to be looked after but David managed to make it work. He put us at ease straight away with how he was with Kobe. He gave us regular updates on what they’ve done through their day, which was so nice to see what he was up to and how happy and comfortable Kobe was. I couldn’t recommend David enough and he is now going to be our go to person for when we need any doggy care 🐾

Lola and Lily, our 2 Frenchies, had a great time with David while we were away on holiday. David sent daily updates, photos and videos of their adventures! This completely put my mind at ease. We picked them up yesterday morning and they are still exhausted. Would highly recommend David and will definitely use him again in the future.

Lola and Lily had a lovely time with David, they came home absolutely exhausted! David was very thorough and followed any instructions I gave him. Following their settling in session, I am reassured they will be in very safe hands when we go away on holiday.

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a clean spacious apartment which is professionally cleaned after every boarder. Quality equipment and products are used to ensure a hygienic environment. There’s plenty of windows for your doggo to stare outside! My environment is a clean and fresh one with a nice breeze.My office is the outdoors in the park with one of your dogs or perhaps two that’s where I’m happiness as l form a magic bond with your best friend and now mine too. Indoors your dog can rest or play. I have the Biggest day bed you will ever see 👀 and I’m just 2 minute walk to the park and the lovely village of Port Sunlight . In terms of safety i only let dogs off the lead with your permission and when I’m comfortable doing so as I won’t put your dog at Otherwise all walks 🐾 are on leads including pavement and roads plus let me know about reactive dogs in these situations. Trust between the client, myself and your best friend Man’s Best is key to our long term relationships. I build relationships with clients who are open and honest provide feedback. To ensure that we can focus on your dog requires me to manage time and resources efficiently. I ask all new clients to be genuine and only send requests that are for your dog and not superficial.Additionally i appreciate friends and family options being explored prior to your enquiry being made ensuring i am able to provide a customer experience

A typical day

Sniffs and smells are all part of the walking experience so whilst we spend our walks in the park and the garden centre is a great place to go for a sensory experience for a water stop and also for a snack and some natural treats. Dogs needs socialisation and. parks are great for this and is meet other local woofers. Please let me know any specific breeds your dog may be scared of. For noise awareness and movement I can take your dog on MerseyRail trip to the beach a bus trip to Liverpool waterfront or the local sports field to watch the grammar school play rugby to build their confidence. When I’m dog admin, I can easily spots bogus and superficial enquiries pleas don’t waste your time in addition for all enquires progressing to appointment please ensure friends and family options have been closed off before progression with an was appointment

Please let me know about any chicken allergies , special diet your dog has , and or any food intolerances such as grains or wheat. Tell me about fruit and veg they like ? I check if they are allowed treats as I supply. Please make me aware of Nervous and anxious dogs and why they demonstrate this. Your dog must be socialised not bit human or dog and this is assessed at the meet and greet . I usually have a day care dog with me so we can look at compatibility indoors and outside . I ask flea worming and your vacs are upto date. Do not send enquiries where your want your dog to be the only dog as they demonstrate anxious such as fighting and biting behaviours as they will be declined during a meet and great if there’s any as aggressive behaviour you will be asked to leave. Common sense I do not take banned breeds. Dogs that don’t comply with legislation or a rude human being . Additional human are hired in to help out at busier times and if ur dog requires one to one walking rather than a group of say 3” or 4 please mention in your booking notes We will resource stand alone regular booking appointments too with a dedicated dog assistant.
