Pet care experience

1 to 1 Long Or Short Walks

I have experience with dogs of all sizes from my 2 Staffordshire Bull Terriers ( sadly passed in 2023) to family pets of Yorkshire Terrier, Lhasa Apso and Jack Russell as well as Romanian Rescue Mix breeds. My current only Pet is my Cat Ledra who appeared at a time I wasnt expecting to adopt another animal however she had other ideas - I was on holiday in Crete and the Hotel had a family of stray Cats living there. On the first evening the Mother cat who was now tiring of her growing kittens decided to jump up onto our balcony and into our room where she quickly found a soft space to fall into the deepest most relaxed sleep, something it seemed she hadn't experienced much of in her life on the streets. She stayed close to us and decided I was to be her human. I managed to find local fosters who came and looked after her while I arranged with a rescue charity to have her flown to the UK where she was re united with us and has been pampered ever since.

Russell has been a god send with my 2 dogs. He has looked after them on several occasions and is always so kind and gentle with them. My dogs are overseas rescues and can struggle when meeting new males but they can clearly sense how lovely Russell is as we've never had a problem. Russell has taken them on beautiful long walks and knows how to read them to ensure they feel safe and secure. He is great at keeping me updated and sends the sweetest pictures of my dogs enjoying the countryside. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending Russell to care for and walk other peoples dogs, he really does treat others dogs like they're his own.

Russ has looked after my cat most recently, however he has also previously looked after my wee dog prior to his passing. Russ is very trustworthy and caring and I could not recommend him enough to look after your fur babies.

I felt very confident leaving Russell to look after my yorkie, she was walked every day, fed as per instructions and she made a huge fuss of him when he visited again. Absolutely 100% happy to leave my dog in his care. My home was well looked after.

If you have a dog that requires a longer walk and who prefers to be solo rather than in a larger group then they would fit right in with my routine. Senior dogs who also prefer a gentle solo walk can also easily be catered for. I have plenty of time that I want to dedicate to my love of walking and animals. I used to walk my 2 Staffies miles each day and now they have sadly passed I still love getting out for long walks and would love to have your dog along to join me. I will walk your dog 1 to 1 on lead and ideally will be going for long walks around the Trimley Nature Reserve or the Felixstowe Coast

I prefer to walk 1:1 for an hour plus so dogs that require a good long walk I would love to hear from. We can discuss any particualr needs and requirements you may have to ensure you are happy and your dog is well looked after.
