Take The Leads was set up initially because I could never find a dog boarder I would be happy to leave my dogs with! Our bespoke, home from home, doggy staycation is exactly what I would have loved to have found for my dogs. I am fully insured and fully licensed for Home Boarding!

This was the first time I left Kiko with Louise. Louise was amazing taking care of my boy and sending me regular updates. I had peace of mind knowing he was in good hands. I'd have no hesitation using Louise's service again in future. Thanks you Louise. More...

Louise is absolutely incredible, dependable, kind and passionate. I’ve been going through a lot of unseen personal issues and she has been a complete weight off my shoulders and my pup adores her. Win win. Thanks so much Louise.

Our dog Petra, a Yorkiepoo, stayed with Louise and her daughter for a week while we went on our cruise. We received daily photographs and even a video. They really put our minds to rest. We have never left her before but know now we can plan more trips after finding Take The Leads. They said they provide a ‘home from home’ experience and that’s exactly what we got. Thank you so so much and see you again soon. More...

Louise provided a true home from home to our Boston Terrier puppy Indie while we were on holiday. She sent regular picture & video updates and we could see the love & dedication provided. Thank you Louise 🥰

Pet Sitting
We booked Louise for a walk & play with our puppy. She came round and met us prior to this and took down detailed information on our puppy which was more than reassuring that he was in safe hands! Highly recommend!

I am delighted to have found Take The Leads, Lou is professional, kind, funny and knows all about animals! Her qualifications prove her dedication.
If Lou can’t have my dogs then I will wait until she can.
My two pit bulls are like putty in her hands 👌🏼

Louise walks Darcie for us 3 times a week and is never late no matter what the weather. Darcie our black Labrador loves the puddles yet she is always returned clean as a whistle. Would highly recommend.

What do you love most about your job?
Job? It’s not a job! It’s what I’m good at and I love it! ?
What inspired you to start your own business?
There was no one I could leave my dogs with without worrying that they were ok! I know that what I offer ticks all my own boxes and I hope it will for you too!
Why should our clients choose you?
My accreditations prove I am fully qualified, I am fully insured and have a full ‘Home Boarding’ Licence - CB/LANW/23/000427. I will go above and beyond to ensure the health, safety and comfort of your pets.
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
No, I can take all the details and offer a quotation over the phone but I will need to do a meet and greet to ensure compatibility.
What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
My premises are cleaned after each boarder leaves and before the next one arrives.
Dog Walking
I can walk your dog(s) for any length of time.
Half an hour -
45 minutes -
1 hour.
Puppies and elderly dogs can tire quickly so a short walk followed by playtime and cuddles is best 🐾
Home boarding
I offer a bespoke, home from home staycation for your dog, they can bring their own bed, blanket, bowls etc.
They have two walks a day and become a part of our family during their stay.
Drop in service
I can come and feed cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, birds, fish, hamsters, rats, mice, gerbils, chinchillas, tortoises or any other small animals or reptiles you may have!
