Information John D. would like to know about your pet

✅ Name, age, and breed • ✅ Personality & behaviour traits (e.g. shy, reactive, playful) • ✅ How they get along with other dogs or people • ✅ Favourite toys, treats, or games • ✅ Any fears or dislikes (e.g. loud noises, other dogs) • ✅ Medical needs (allergies, medication, injuries, etc.) • ✅ Feeding routine & toilet needs • ✅ Emergency contact details

A typical day

☀️ Morning: • We pick up our furry friends and head straight to a local park, woodland trail, or open field for a fun group walk. • During the walk, we play games like fetch, tug-of-war, and sometimes even puzzle sniffing games to keep their minds busy. • We always make time for cuddles, belly rubs, and lots of praise for good behaviour. 🐶 Midday: • After all the exercise, it’s time for a little rest and hydration. • For solo visits, we offer one-on-one enrichment time, whether it’s a short walk around their favourite route or some indoor playtime for puppies or older dogs. • We also make sure pets are fed, given any medication if needed, and are feeling happy and settled. 🌳 Afternoon Adventures: • We go on another walk or garden play session — perfect for dogs who need an energy boost or just love company. • Sometimes we do basic training games, like sit, stay, and recall, always with positive reinforcement. 🎉 Fun Activities We Love: • Nature trail walks and woodland sniffari (where dogs explore using their nose!) • Paddle time on warm days – shallow streams or splash pools • Agility play with pop-up tunnels, mini jumps, or weave poles • Doggy social time (for dogs who enjoy company) • Seasonal photo days with cute bandanas and props! 🐾 End of the Day: • We drop each pet home tired, happy, and well cared for, with a little treat and a note or photo update for their owner.

John is very caring and he provides a safe, healthy, fun environment . My French Bulldog Ivy loves walks with John and gets excited as soon as we ask if she wants to go see John and when we get there she is so happy she pulls us up to driveway to get into the house.
