Safety, trust & environment

Happy to make multiple daily visits to care for your dog in your own home, or to house-sit your pet if that’s what you prefer. My own dog was not suited to kennels when we went away, and wasn’t himself when he’d get home (he’d sulk for days). I can’t overstate the benefits of pets being able to stay in a familiar environment, meaning you can relax and know they’re more likely to be happy, even if they’re missing you.

Met Rachel for the first time at short notice and knew there was going to be no issues straight away as had a great conversation when she did a visit to meet us both. All comm's were great including report, photos and vids. Will definately be returning in the future as both dog and I were very happy. Thank you.

Rachael walked our two dogs whilst we attended a funeral. She took time to come and meet them before the day of the walk. The both had a great long walk and she even took the time to wipe there feet before leaving them when they got back as it had been a bit wet and muddy. I would highly recommend and would no hesitate to book her again.

It was great to meet Rachel before she started. It really put us at ease. She's lovely. We've arranged for her to come in twice a week to walk Myrto, although we aren't sure Myrto will go, but the offer will always be there 🤣 The first week was great, Rachel sat with her on the first day, a 'get to know you' session and on the second day attempted a walk, but Myrto voted with her feet, straight out of the harness and back to bed 🤣 Rachel said she'll persevere but we are just so happy to have someone we trust popping in and spending time with our stubborn, loveable little madam. Thank you Rachel 🥰

Thank you so much Rachel for looking after Stella and keeping her so comfortable. Rachel is experienced with reactive dogs which meant she was able to calm Stella quickly and give her lots of fuss while we went out. We really appreciate your help at a short notice. Would 100% recommend Rachel to anyone 🥰

Schedule

Hiring a dog walker is an investment in your dog's well-being and peace of mind, so continuity & reliability matter. That why professional Dog Walking & Pet Care is my full time job, and not just something I do ‘on the side’. I’m available for walks or drop in care, seven days a week. I’ll vary the routes on your dog’s walks so that they get plenty of exercise, mental stimulation and serotonin! I can also care for guinea pigs, rabbits, hamsters & rats.
