Hello my name is Rachel, I am a trustworthy and reliable dog walker / Pet Sitter with a real passion for animals, their well being and their happiness and am currently studying towards a diploma in Canine Behaviour and Training.

Please find below a list of services I offer to keep your pets happy, healthy and well exercised :-

GROUP WALKS :- On my group walks, there is plenty of opportunity to play, run about investigating new environments, paddle or swim and just simply have lots of fun ! I love to interact with my dogs involving games like throwing balls, running with them and encouraging them to run and play with each other. I soon to get to know each dog's personality individually and tailor our walks to suit them as much as possible. After a full hour of fun your dogs are returned to their homes happy and tired. Paws are wiped clean and water bowls are filled.
I vary my walks every day and am very lucky to be based in an area with a fantastic selection of parks to chose form and a wonderful beach, so no two days are the same and will even send you photos and videos to your phone of your dogs walk daily so you can share in the fun !
Please note my group walks are kept to a maxim of 4 dogs per walk. I like to enjoy my walks feel relaxed and in control at all times and keeping my walks to smaller numbers helps me do this. Your dogs safety is my priority at all times.
Collection, transport and drop of time is not deducted from walks.

Doggy Day Care :- This option works out excellent value for money and is a fantastic option for those dogs that need that little bit more company during the day.
You dog will be picked up in the morning and spend the day with me coming on both morning and afternoon group walks and in between times they come to my house for a little rest to re charge or if still some energy to burn can have some garden play time with my two adorable dogs Amber and Alfie, they will of course have their own water bowl and comfy doggy bed to chill in and after a busy day will be dropped back home just in time for your return - please note pick-up and drop off times can be tailored to suit your working day.

BOARDING :- A home from home boarding service where your dog will be a welcomed guest living with us in the comfort of our house.

They will of course be made to feel part of the family, we have lots of toys, a big comfy sofa, dog beds. I live in a fantastic location with large garden area and park directly opposite. Whilst you dog is staying with us they will never be left alone for any long periods of time and will of course join us on our daily group walks and you will be given daily updates including lots of photos so you can go away and relax in the knowledge that your dog is happy and being well looked after in a safe environment.
