“True Care When You Can’t Be There”
Pet care experience
Here at Happy Tails Pet Services we know how precious are fur babies are to our customers. I know myself when working full time how great it was to have someone walk my boy and know that he wasn't alone all day. So when I became redundant I used my money to set up Happy Tails. I haven’t looked back since. Even though we are still a new and growing company, we have no lack of enthusiasm towards are fur clients and their individual needs. So if your worried about leaving your beloved pet, we would like to reassure you that they will be seen and treated as of our family and will enjoy all comforts of home, down to cuddles, walks and playtimes. We also realise that some of our pet clients don't always like to interact with others so we do offer a quite area where they can have their own space but still be with us. We work from my home which is a good sized house with a large wall in garden. So your fur babies can run around as they want. We are also in the process of converting the garage into an other space for those who need their own space or need to have a bit of down time from others but where we will only be a few steps away from them as we will never leave them. We do ask that all dogs are fully vaccinated and have updated vaccination cards for us to copy and keep on record. This is to ensure your dog and others safety. I'm afraid that at the moment we cannot take un-neutered male dogs for boarding but we can do home visits and walking, but please just ask.
Reviews
I have been using Mel for about 4 years after meeting her as my dog trainer; I chose her as she was really friendly, very kind but most importantly loved my dogs and they love her. She has amazing knowledge of all breeds of dog, and is confident with walking/training them. Day care is an added bonus as the dogs have a really good time with fab facilities for them. Shes reasonably priced, and having used other dog walkers who struggled with my 2 50 kg shepards I can honestly say I've never had any concerns about my dogs safety with the team. Also they get to know your dogs really well so will let you know if they think the dog is a bit under the weather, and I have been able to message her for advice if needed. The team go over and above to accommodate.
Nellie had a lovely day and is shattered from all the fun. Definitely recommend and use again.
Our whole experience with Melissa has been great, very friendly and our 3 cockapoos had a wonderful time, they were well cared for and treated like family.
Melissa is fantastic! You can see that she is a person who really loves dogs. We were welcomed well, she kept in touch throughout all the stay, sending pictures of our Nego. We totally recommend it!

Home
Information Melissa A. would like to know about your pet
We always like to know as much about your dogs personality as you can give us, the good and the bad. We will consider most dogs and set them with other dogs that would compliment them. but this is always looked at, as we always insist on a trial date before any definite extra bookings.
A typical day
A typical day with Happy Tails will begin with a good one hour walk were your dog can play with other dogs, or a good solo walk if that is what they are better with. Then we will go back to Happy Tails home and there after a refreshing drink they can either rest or get toys from the toy box or if they need some quite time they can lay on sofa or dog bed that are around for everyone, they can play in garden with are other dog friend while one of the Happy Tails family watches that they are playing nicely. In the summer months there is a little dog pool and a sand pit where the winter months there is a tunnel, ball game and other games that are played inside in wet weather
