It was enjoyable and supportive. A new dog is always challenging and Siân is doing a great service for all puppies by training their owners!

Absolutely fantastic puppy training. I feel that I now understand how to motivate Molly so she wants to do what I ask of her rather than me making her do it. Sian has a real passion for dogs and a great understanding of what makes them want to learn. Molly loved the training sessions and I have a very calm happy puppy More...

Dog Walking
Brilliant service and exactly what I was wanting. I needed help walking my dog last minute while she stayed with my sister. Sian was very knowledgable and provided me with all the information of her DBS, insurance certificate and first aid certificate when we first met. She was on time each visit and I would use again if needing any help. Highly recommended. More...

Thanks so much for your lovely review Kimberly! It was an absolute pleasure walking your lovely pup and I'd always be more than happy to help if you ever needed a dog walker in future.

Sian is a very reliable and trustworthy person. She is very knowledgeable about dogs and it is clear she cares about them and looks after them as if they were her own. My dogs really look forward to their walks with her. More...

Could not think of a nicer, more responsible and trustworthy person to look after my much loved pets. Siân has an affinity with animals, making the most nervous feel at ease in her presence. Her services mean that I can go on holiday with the peace of mind that my pets are being loved and well looked after. Nothing is too much trouble and she is completely dedicated to those animals in her care. 5 star service ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ More...

Sian is the most caring person, she’s very thorough in everything she does and always gives her best. The way she cares for her own two dogs is just amazing she dedicates a lot of time for caring for animals and making sure they’re all happy and well. Would 100% recommend

What do you love most about your job?
Working with animals and really making a positive difference to their lives, whilst also helping clients to feel confident that their pet family members are being cared for, kept safe and are happy.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I never fitted into the corporate moulds, I had tried for 10 years to find a way... I've always had a love of animals since I was young, especially dogs. I also loved being outdoors (I imagined walking for miles whilst staring out of the window from my computer desk in my corporate jobs!)
Working for myself and treating the people who worked with me as people rather than assets or numbers were added bonuses.
Why should our clients choose you?
We treat every animal as an individual sentient being, we know they are your pet family and so want to do our best to take care of them. Our tailored approach ensures your pets feel comfortable and safe in our care. Our walks aren't just walks - we have group treks of up to 4 dogs, solo saunters for dogs who prefer their own company, and we offer add-on services to make life easier for you.
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
We can offer online training sessions via Zoom, so they can be completed in the comfort of your own home at a time that suits.
What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
Masks are worn if someone is home and handovers cannot be done outside, we also use our own leads and ensure we carry sanitiser at all times. We take lateral flow tests regularly and ask that anyone who has symptoms of Covid-19 to let us know ASAP so that we can still help but safety is key for everyone involved.
