2. Paula M.
“Paula is just the best ! She has looked after my 4 cats for the last 2 years and they love her .I go away knowing that when I get back my house will be tidy, clean and my cats happy and well Her dedication and love for animals shines through .One holiday we were concerned as she had not seen one of the cats - without any hesitation Paula went home and got her outside wildlife camera which she set up at my house and within an hour we had seen the cat return . I cannot recommend Paula highly enough - she cares about the animals in her charge and spends time with them .She frequently shares her egg mc muffin with one of our cats whilst sitting in the garden watching the other 3 run around . When they are not out not running around she gets out the cat toy box and plays with them . I trust her 💯 - and sometimes feels she is looking after us as well ! I forgot I had left my heated clothes rail on and Paula found it and turned it off for me .The house looks and smells heavenly when we return - better than when I left it ! If you love your animals use Paula - she is the best !”

“Couldn't have been happier with Heather helping walk my dog whilst my husband was away working. I will definitely use her services again and am pleased to have found a reliable person locally that I can trust. Thanks Heather!”


4. Lisa J.

“We have only just started using Lisa for occasional dog walking. She is a very kind, caring person and clearly loves dogs! We will definitely use her again in future as she is reliable, flexible and very understanding with the dogs she cares for.”
5. May E.
“Highly recommend May for your future dog walks, I’ve used many dog walkers over the years and have always struggled to find someone reliable and who I’m comfortable handing over my dogs with. May is such an easy going, helpful young lady, she was on time, friendly and flexible to my hours. Both of my little shi tzus were very comfortable with her and I could tell that they had a lovely walk (they were knackered bless them) will certainly be using May from now on.”


6. Haleigh J.

“Haleigh was great with Charlie! Extremely reliable and an excellent communicator. We very much appreciated her punctuality and the time she took to send us message and photos of Charlie daily. We would not hesitate to book Haleigh again.”


7. Eleanor M.
“I hired Ellie for a year to look after my two Shih Tzu puppies and I would recommend her to anyone who needs a dog sitter and dog walker! She always bathed them if they were mucky from the walking, and left no trace. She always left the house spotless!”


8. Anna W.
“I met Anna in 2010 when I interviewed her in relation to walking my dogs when my shift pattern prevented me from walking them myself. At the time I had Jack, Chuck and Ash, all cross breed Jack Russell and all rescue dogs. She came to my house and I could see immediately that she had an affinity to the dogs and all of them were happy in her company. She displayed a huge knowledge re dog care and was willing to cope with my strange shift pattern. She was able to look after the dogs in her own house when needed and has boarded them when I have been away or when my shifts called for that. All of them loved going to her house. Jack died when he was 13yrs old, followed by Chuck also 13 a few years later by which time I had George, another Jack Russell. Ash died at the beginning of 2023 aged 15yrs. During all the times (she still looks after George for me) that Anna has looked after them, she has been patient, kind, loving and completely dependable. She has treated my dogs as if they were her own. Her knowledge of dogs has helped me tremendously and I trust her implicitly. She is not just the dog walker but also a true friend.”


9. Courtney F.
“Highly recommend Courtney for anyone’s pet needs! She has looked after my dog on numerous occasions and my dog also suffers with a life long disease! Courtney manages to administrate my dogs medication with no issues and also always send me pupdates when I am away which always gives me reassurance!”


10. Amber P.

“Amber has been terrific walking our Cockapoo Mabel. She is very reliable, communicative and crucially, our pup really enjoys her walks with Amber. Would recommend 👍”


11. Rebecca L.

“I have been using Bex for the last 3 weeks and I’m really impressed with her. After our first meet in a local park my dogs were so excited each time she came round to take them out for a long walk or feed them. She sends video and picture updates throughout the day and my dogs are always knackered when I get home. This is the first time I have left the dogs for the day since getting them and she put my mind at rest straightaway. She goes over and above, cleaning up accidents and even hosing down the patio and my dogs after they had an upset tummy. She has been an absolute star and I will continue to use her services for as long as she’ll have us :)”


12. Jorja C.
“Jorja is a kind,loving person..her dogs are very happy and very well looked after.. they come to visit us sometimes and love running around playing..”

About: Hi We are a family who loves dogs! Parents to 14 year old twins Billy and Jack. We also have our own little dog a Bischon x Jack Russell called Mikey. Mikey actually stayed with us initially as a guest - unfortunately his owner could no longer care for him and he became our forever fur baby - he is the most laid back little man and our family is at last complete. We have been sitting all types of breeds the past few years , little sausages and crazy cockapoos , they really know our home as their 2nd home now! We work from home full time and also have my Mum, 'Nanny Bridie' stay with us three days a week, all the dogs love Nanny Bridie ( me thinks extra treats might play a part in this!) There's always a full house to keep your little ones company and of course lots of cuddles! We have a large garden which backs onto fields where we take the doggies for long walks and then they can snuggle up in front of our open fire. We are a warm, friendly house where your dogs will have a home from home experience and hopefully enjoy their holiday as much as you enjoy yours ! We hope your dog enjoys his time at the ‘The Only Way is Dogs’ 🐾 🐾 🐾 I am currently at home full time so can will be able to look after your pets day or night with long walks and cuddles infront of the fire. I have a fenced garden for your dog to explore and will feed and look after your dog to your requests. Your dog will enjoy a long walk in our local area which is open fields.


19. Klara S.

“Klara was very time efficient when walking Mutah, she arrived on time and was even willing to walk him in the pouring rain. My dog was very comfortable around her, and seemed very happy when he got home! I will definitely be using her service again in the future. Would definitely recommend Klara, as she is trustworthy and made me feel safe when leaving my dog in her hands.”
