Pet care experience

Loving, reliable and passionate pet care services

Hi, I’m Rhys, a dedicated dog walker with a lifelong passion for animals. Growing up surrounded by pets, I developed a deep love and understanding for animals of all kinds. I’ve turned that passion into a career by helping busy pet owners give their dogs the care, exercise, and attention they need. Whether it’s a playful puppy or a senior dog, I tailor each sit/walk to suit their unique personality and needs. Your furry friend’s happiness, well-being and safety are always my top priorities! My dogs have always been my best friends and I will treat yours exactly the same, if not better! I aim to provide the best experience and service for you and your pets. I currently have a 9 year old Shih Zhu called Milo, he’s great with small and medium sized dogs but he gets little doggy syndrome around big dogs and likes to bark at them until he realises they are not a threat. I have extensive experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, personalities and temperaments, including dogs with separation anxiety. I am currently studying dog behaviour as I one day to aim to provide both sitting and training services. I provide constant care services for all dogs under my care so dogs are never unsupervised. This is both for safety and because I throughly enjoy spending time with animals. I do not feed dogs under my care anything that isn’t instructed by their owners. Dogs out on a walk are never off leash (no exceptions) but I do have long, strong leashes for dogs that like to exert a bit more energy. As standard, I normally send out 3 updates with photos throughout the day (usually morning, dinner time and bed time) but I can send more if you’d like me to! I have a questionnaire available that is designed for me to better understand your pets routine, needs, habits and personality. Meet and greets are required for boarding as Milo likes to meet dogs before they enter our home.

I couldn’t recommend Rhys enough! He’s genuinely passionate about dogs and it really shows in the amazing care he provided for Pippin. It was our first time leaving Pip but Rhys really helped ease our minds with plenty of updates throughout his stay.

Ralph had the absolute best time with Rhys, so much so he didn’t want to leave! Ralph was very well loved and looked after and the regular texts, photos and videos really put my mind at ease. Thanks Rhys, I know Ralph will be happy to be back again soon.

My pups had another fantastic adventure with Rhys while we enjoyed a weekend away. Both my extra-anxious dog and my super-friendly dog just love Rhys. He always takes them on nice, long walks and they love playing in his garden and then cuddling up for a long rest. Thank you Rhys!!

I cannot recommend Rhys enough! Chester is always so excited to stay with him and gets a real holiday of his own in Rhys’ care. Thank you again!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a decent sized fully insulated house, which makes it warm in the winter and cool in the summer! I have a decent sized fully secure garden that dogs have full access to. I have plenty of toys, beds and activities to keep your dog comfy and entertained. My house is also situated right next to my local park (a couple of minutes walk away) which is ideal for dogs that love their walks and social interactions!

Pets

A typical day

Typically starts with a walk around the park for exercise, toilet and socialising. When at home I have various selection of toys to help keep dogs stimulated, from kong toys to balls to ropes.

Let me know if you dog has any special needs and I will my best to accommodate them. For daycare and boarding dogs (bigger dogs in particular) I will not take aggressive dogs and they have to be well trained and friendly due to the safety of other dogs. Whilst I have crates it’s not my intention to keeps dogs in them all day.
