Jemma and the team are amazing. Last year we adopted a fantastic (but very challenging) 8 month old rescue puppy and they have been briliant helping us with training as well as walking and day care. They really go out of their way to tailor their service to his specific (and quite demanding) needs and helping to keep him calm. He is making incredible progress as a result! More...

Kathy from K9 Active has looked after my young labrador several times at our home and is always caring and attentive with her. Sunny loves her and is always excited to see her. Highly recommend. More...

Jemma and the team are really caring, knowledgeable and calm. The updates post walk are always really useful too. I would definitely recommend them.

Luna loves her walks with Michael. She has gone from being overly anxious around other dogs and misbehaving on lead, to calm in just a few sessions.

Jemma's helped to give our puppy the most excellent start, setting him up for a happy and satisfying life. He's learned loads and so have we! Through working with us twice a week from 4-6 months old, we have such a confident, well-balanced young dog. His basic training is all super hot thanks to her tailored programme, constant feedback and advice - all based on a deep understanding of both dogs and our puppy as an individual. She's positive, passionate and extremely knowledgeable on all the latest research. Couldn't recommend Jemma more and look forward to reaping the rewards for the rest of his life! More...

We used Every K9 to look after our 10 year old Havanese for 3 nights, 4 days. The admin set up works really well. From the start you can tell that they really care about the dog and treat each dog as an individual. Bonzo isn't great with people, especially new people, generally pretty anxious and can be fearful. Michael was excellent. From the first meeting until he left. Bonzo did more in 4 days than he does when we are at home. No request was too much trouble and we received regular updates, including photos. We were really really happy with the entire service and will definitely be using Every K9 again. Michael stayed in the house while we were away and was really respectful of the house and was a perfect house guest. Jemma was very good with the communication and was a pleasure to deal with.

Monty has been really enjoying his walks with Kathy and Jemma for the last few weeks and I couldn’t be happier with the service. They are really accommodating and friendly and really care about the dogs in their care. I love the way they incorporate training into a walk so we can be consistent with Monty. And boy does he need it! Would highly recommend. More...

Jemma looked after Max for a week during the summer, it was the first time we’d left him and he’s on medication which makes him generally unsettled. Jemma was very patient with Max and it was reassuring to know he was in good hands while his family were away. More...

Jemma looked after our dog when we went away and we were really happy with how it turned out - and so was the dog 😀

We needed some last minute dog sitting for the day and Jemma came to the rescue. Our 5-month old pup had a wonderful time. Michael was so patient with him. We came home hours later to a tired, happy puppy. More...

Jemma looked after our GSD 4 months old puppy for a day last week. She was brilliant! Our overly energetic puppy was very happy to spend time with Jemma and fairly exhausted (extra points for this) at the end of the day! Highly recommend.

Jemma and Micheal have been fantastic with our staffie Mylo . Mylo is adopted and can be too excitable around other dogs. Jemma started him with one to one walks , then gradually increased his exposure to other dogs . We’re still progressing and working within his threshold but he’s come so far with his training and socialisation . Recommend highly !! More...

I am so impressed with Jemma from day one, and we have been with Every K9 since January 2021. She is brilliant with my young Rottweiler and has a special bond with him.
I cannot recommend Jemma and Every K9 Active enough and have done to all my friends and family who have animals..
If there was an Olympic sport for Dog walking and behaviour training, Jemma would be awarded a Gold medal..! SHE IS AMAZING..!

Jemma has taken both of our puppies, a GSD and a labradoodle, for training walks. She knows both breeds and is able to tailor her training walks accordingly. Jemma is patient and firm when required. We highly recommend her. More...

Jemma looked after our rescue dog Bandit last month and I would highly recommend anyone to use her services! Bandit is a bit of a sensitive soul so takes a while making new friends but Jemma was really accommodating and took the time to do a couple of initial walks before staying round. By the end of the stay Bandit was so much more at ease and you could see he had had a lovely time from all the picture updates 😊 More...

We recently booked home visits for Jemma to check in on our pet rats while we were away and the service was fantastic! It gave us peace of mind to know they were being looked after by a professional and she provided us with daily updates and pictures. There is something to suit everyone in her range of services and I would recommend her to anybody looking for pet sitting in the area. Thank you so much, Mildred and Sheila had a lovely weekend!

Jemma has been amazing with my boy. He needed solo walks as he is too excitable around other dogs and Jemma is helping him to overcome this. She has successfully introduced him to several dogs and he is so happy to go out with her. Jemma also has excellent communication with me, always let's me know how he did on that days walk, has sent me videos and pictures of his adventures. Shes also been flexible with me when I've needed to change things around. I would definitely recommend her without a doubt! Thank you ❤🐾 More...

We are away in Italy this week and can’t express enough how relaxed we feel that our 3 precious dogs are in Jemma’s safe hands! Jemma came over for a pre-meet a few weekends before and we were impressed with her professionalism and the questions she asked to get to know our routine. She is house sitting for 8 nights, and every day she WhatsApp’s lots of photos of their walks and evening cuddles on the sofa and they look so happy! They’re actually smiling!! I would have no hesitation in recommending Jemma for housesitting, she is not only looking after our dogs in their own environment so they don’t miss us at all, but taking in deliveries and watering the plants and I feel the house is so much more secure with her there. A really lovely young lady who couldn’t be more charming to us and a new favourite to our 3 little sausages! Thanks so much Jemma - we can really relax knowing you’ve got this! 5 star recommendation from us More...

Would highly recommend gemma, i have a very hyper and active american bulldog who loves going on walks and she loves the attention and care that gemma gives whilst taking care of Nala. She is knowledgeable and is always able to help/give advice and is flexible when it comes to my awkward/changing of work shifts. More...

What do you love most about your job?
I love being around animals, getting to know their individual personalities. It's a joy to he around them and it impossible to be down when my job is caring for my friends - this job puts a smile on my face every day. Not to mention I throughly enjoy learning about Dog Behaviour and making progress with the dogs I work with. I love giving clients that piece of mind and freedom with their dog, by giving them the right tools for training.
What inspired you to start your own business?
My dogs - I thought well the knowledge would never go to waste I'll always have animals in my life why not learn how to at least best care for them and communicate with them. But from there I realised this was my passion, and never looked back.
Why should our clients choose you?
We are far different from the average pet care company. We take pride in our work and you won't see any of my staff running around like headless chickens trying to make ends meet. We care about the quality not quantity of work. Myself and staff do our due diligence when it comes to every dog. We also don't have training requirements for your dogs to join our services. We offer Dog Training, as well as a variation of dog walks to suit Every K9s needs.
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
I will look to this eventually, and can perhaps offer some trial online training sessions, however, it's always advisable for a trainer to see your dog in person, especially with issues around reactivity.
What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
We can wipe everything down using Covid Killing wipes.
Have our own leads.
Will social distance.
Have masks & sanitisers.
