Emily & Joshua
Your Dog's Second Best Friends! We are an animal loving couple offering reliable dog walking and drop-in services. Having both grown up with dogs from a young age, we have extensive hands on experience caring for a wide range of breeds, including German Shepherds, Labradors, Golden Retrievers, Spaniels, Jack Russells, and Poodles. Why Choose Us? 🐶 Service Dog Background: Emily grew up alongside active service guide dogs, giving her firsthand experience with highly disciplined routines, specialized care, and advanced canine behavior. 🐾 Kennel Volunteering: Emily also spent time volunteering at a local kennel, gaining a deep understanding of safe handling and attentive care for all temperaments. 🌳 Outdoor Lovers: We love being outside and understand how vital exercise, mental stimulation, and routine are for a happy, healthy pup. What We Offer Whether it's a high energy walk, playtime, companionship, or a quick check-in while you're away, we tailor our care to your dog's individual needs. 🦮 We Love Training! We genuinely enjoy working on dog training and reinforcement. Thanks to our background, we are more than happy to help maintain consistency and practice skills, like basic commands, leash manners, or puppy socialisation during our walks and visits! Above all, we care deeply about animal welfare. We treat every dog as if they were our own, putting their safety, comfort, and happiness first to give you complete peace of mind.

Schedule
Pet care fits naturally into our weekly routine thanks to our flexible work schedules. Emily works from home 4–5 days a week, allowing her to carry out local check-ins throughout the day as well as dog walks during lunch breaks and in the evenings. Josh works from home two days a week and is available for dog walks during mornings, lunch breaks and evenings. Together, we can offer reliable and consistent care throughout the week. We are also available on Saturdays and on many Sundays, depending on Josh's American football commitments.

- To ensure we provide the safest and most enjoyable care possible, it’s incredibly helpful to know your dog's unique personality quirks and triggers in advance. Please let us know their general temperament around other dogs or strangers, their behavior on a leash, and if they have any reactivity or fears (such as loud noises or specific objects). Because of our experience with service dogs and kennel care, we are highly comfortable handling specific medical routines, dietary needs, or strict training guidelines, just let us know what works best to keep your pup's routine completely consistent!
