About: Having had dogs throughout my life since a young age, I’ve developed a real love for them. My cocker spaniel, who came into our lives shortly before COVID restrictions, taught me the deep bonds that we develop with our animals, getting us through hard times and being the therapy that we need! Deciding to take my love for dogs even further, in 2024 I became a full time dog walker, offering drop in style visits for different kinds of animals; cats, dogs, puppies, turtles, Guinea pigs. I offer solo walks for those who need extra attention or who are a bit nervous, paired/groups for those that love a buddy to play with, puppy visits for those little paws that can’t go too far yet, cat visits for your feline friend, and visits for any other type of animal that you may have! Whether you’re going away or need a regular visitor to check in with your furry or non furry friend, then I am here and happy to help. As this is my full time job, I am available Monday to Friday for all services and available for drop in services over the weekend if needed. I will always come and meet you and your pet before a service begins so we can discuss all the measures that need to take place

Michelle H.
“Our dogs love Michelle (and so do we)! I wouldn’t trust anyone else with them, I come home to tired happy dogs every time. She really really loves them, and goes to every length to make sure they’re safe and happy. We’ve used the drop in service and the dog walks regularly. Somehow the dogs are always way cleaner than I can ever get them, everything is completely taken care of and I can rest easy knowing our dogs are getting exactly what they need, with someone who cares. She’s awesome ⭐️”
