We have used Lavinia for over three years to walk our Llhasa Apso Max four times a week involving her having our house keys to access the property whilst we are out at work. Without exception, we have found Lavinia to be honest, trustworthy, reliable and kind. We definitely recommend her to anyone who is considering employing a dog walker. More...

I have and would recommend Paws at Home to anyone. Lavinia's main strength is her reliability and the fact that she cares for the dogs she looks after.
My dogs love her!

Excellent Service
I always use Paws at Homes services for my cat when we go on holiday. Paws at homes go in to see her as many times a day as I need them to, making sure she has food, water and plenty of cuddles.
They also give me text and picture updates!

We have used Paws at Homes to walk our dog 4 days a week for 3 years. Lola is always really excited for her walks and will sit at the door waiting for Paws at Home to arrive. They take her for walks in different locations and she always loves going down to the river on hot days. I can recommend this service with confidence they are great with animals and are very experienced. More...

I think Paws at Home is the most personal and caring service! I have used them on many occasions to look after my cat while i was away on holiday or away for work. My cat Jessie was unwell when I was away for work one weekend. Paws at Home noticed it straight away, alerted me and took her to the vets immediately. She then increased her visits to 4 times a day to check in on my kitten while she was recovering. Lavinia really does care about the needs of the pets. Totally recommend Paws at Homes, Thankyou!

I asked Paws to walk my new spaniel puppy. I was really worried about leaving him while i was at work all day but Lavinia really made me feel at ease. She is trustworthy, reliable and very caring! She would go in to walk him at the times i needed her too, she would make his lunch - mixing in warm water, clean up any little accidents that Bobby made and would even do some training with him which really helped in his progress! What Bobby really loves is walking with Lavinia's puppy who is about the same age! Really happy with the service! Would highly recommend. Thankyou! More...

If you want a very personal service and someone who really cares for your pet I would recommend paws at homes. I could not be more pleased with the service! My dog is 8yrs old but still loves his walks and has plenty of energy. He is a bit weary with new people and has a few medical problems. However Lavina has been amazing with him, she has managed to socialise him with 2 other dogs that she walks and he is always so excited to see her. As a bonus Lavinia leaves little updates in a personalised book on how the walks went every day, whether Benji did any business and any other details. Really reccomend! More...

What do you love most about your job?
I have always loved animals from being a little girl, so being around them everyday makes my day.
I love to see the happy faces and waggy tails greeting me every day I arrive to take my customers dogs out. I love the cuddles with cats/ kittens/puppies/ bunnies etc when they are in my care.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I wanted to combine my love for animals with my work and this was the perfect way to do it.
I had also been studying animal behaviour as part of my psychology degree and feel I can offer a lot in the way of understanding the individuality of each animal in my care.
Additionally sadly my dog did not have a very good experience when being left at kennels while we were on holiday. I wanted to offer care that would mean that anyones pet left with me would always be returned safe, happy and content.
Why should our clients choose you?
I have a natural affinity with animals and have over 30 years experience in animal handling. I have links with dog trainers and vets if clients ever need any extra help.
I understand that pets are part of our family and I always strive to be the next best thing to my clients, so that their pets feel happy and secure in my care while their owners can't be there.
