David and his wife are very friendly and obviously knowledgeable about dogs. Our dog Ruby has spent a happy week with them with lots of photos and updates provided. Will definitely use service again and recommend to others. More...

My dog, Peanut is very well cared for and I really appreciate that his paws are wiped when returning home. I have received photos of Peanut on his walks, having a great time, this is a great touch and puts my mind at ease. Thanks David for being punctual and flexible. More...

David was easy to deal with, quick to reply and flexible when we had to cancel our initial booking. He looked after our dog and home very well, brought his whippet Woody who was no problem and very well behaved. I would recommend him and hope to use his services again!! More...

Michele Baker
Dog Walking
I needed a dog walker as I had recently had hip surgery.I met David and David met my whippet Archie.
David came once a day and took Archie out for an hour ,come rain or shine.
This was a short term arrangement, but my goodness,what a difference it made knowing my dog would get exercised until I was back on my feet.The charges were reasonable and it was worth it for peace of mind.
Thank you David...until the other hip is done 😀😃

Archie is a lovely Whippet, only 2 years old and full of energy but we got on great straight away. He is a good lad on or off the lead and great fun to walk. Thanks Michele, if you need me in the future just get in touch (but hopefully your other hips fine!)

Pet Sitting
It was comforting to know that my dog would be well looked after and she was. She enjoyed the walking and the company. David had a good understanding of her. I was worried she might not want to return home More...

I couldn't recommend David highly enough, he took the time to understand Hendrix's unique requirements and has been friendly and responded promptly to any enquiries I've made.

Many thanks Dom, I really enjoy walking Hendrix and can see he looks forward to his walks with me. He's a lovely dog 😊
Claire
Dog Walking
David understands sighthounds well, having a whippet of his own, and it’s a great reassurance to know my greyhound has a break in the day when I’m at work. David sends update pics, and is flexible with days and hours. Would recommend David as a dog walker More...

What do you love most about your job?
I love dogs first and foremost. I enjoy being with and around dogs, caring for them and walking them. It gives me pleasure knowing that your pet is being well cared for whilst you are away from home.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I have recently retired from my 9 to 5 job and was looking for something that I enjoyed, was part time and that enabled me to work from home if possible. Dog care was the natural choice and ticked all my personal boxes.
Why should our clients choose you?

Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
I can can communicate online or by smart phone. Dog walking/sitting/boarding is by arrangement and will differ with individual requirements.
What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
I regularly use anti bacterial wipes/gels and will wear a face covering when required to minimise the risk of spreading infection.
I am also fully Covid-19 vaccinated.
