Does your pet have any medical conditions or allergies I should be aware of? How does your pet typically behave around new people and other animals? Are there any specific triggers or situations that make them anxious or aggressive? Is there anything else you think I should know to make your pet's time with me as comfortable and enjoyable as possible?

My Solo Walks service is designed to provide your dog with a personalised and enriching walking experience. I understand that some dogs prefer the undivided attention and calmness of a solo walk, I cater to this need with utmost care. Each solo walk is tailored to suit the individual pace, temperament, and preferences of your dog, ensuring a comfortable and enjoyable outing every time. Whether it’s a leisurely stroll through the local area, a brisk walk in the park, or exploring new trails, I'll adapt to the specific needs and energy levels of your pet. This service is not just a walk; it's an opportunity for your dog to engage in a fulfilling and stress-free experience, with the added benefit of maintaining their routine and exercise regimen. Typical walk: - Dog walker arrives at your home. They spend a few minutes greeting your dog, allowing them to get comfortable and excited for their walk. The walker ensures your dog has a properly fitted harness and leash. They also carry fresh water, treats, and any necessary doggy bags. - The walk begins, heading to a predetermined route that suits your dog's preferences, whether it's a quiet neighbourhood stroll or a visit to a nearby park. Your dog enjoys a brisk walk, tailored to their pace. This is the time for exercise, exploration, and sniffing around, with the walker providing constant supervision and interaction. - Time for a short break. The dog is given water and a treat, and if they enjoy socialisation, they might have a brief, controlled interaction with other dogs or people. - The walk continues, possibly exploring a new area or engaging in a favourite activity, like playing fetch or practising basic commands. - As the walk draws to an end, the pace slows down, allowing your dog to wind down. The walker then leads your dog back home. Back at home, the walker ensures your dog is clean and comfortable, refilling their water bowl and giving them a final treat. - The walker departs, leaving a happy and well-exercised dog. The walker sends a 'pup-date' to you through Rover, detailing the walk, including any observations about your dog's behaviour, the route taken, and a photo or video of the day's adventure. My pop in visits service is designed to cater to the unique needs of your dog. During each visit, I'll engage your dog in essential activities like potty breaks, feeding, water top-ups, and playful interactions in the garden. The service also encompasses basic training and command reinforcement, which are crucial for fostering good behaviour and socialisation skills. I'll ensure a safe and nurturing environment for every pup, allowing them to explore and learn comfortably at home. The objective of each visit is not only to meet the basic needs of your dog but also to make these moments a delightful, educational and enriching part of their day.
