They are caring and give very good individual care, I really feel they care for my dog and understand her needs.

Sarah has been great with our very enthusiastic young labradoodle, which others had found a bit of a handful! She was Incredibly reliable and flexible when needed - would definitely use again

Sarah has been walking our dog Chester for a year and he absolute loves his walks with her! She is brilliant with him, provides a fantastic service and has been able to squeeze in extra walks on an ad hoc basis as well when we’ve needed it. We could not recommend her enough.

We have a very energetic and inquisitive Husky Cross. After trying our pup with a few different dog walkers, we came across Sarah from Ollie’s Ark, and she has been a godsend! It's so hard to find someone who not only knows the breed but also understands the quirks that comes with looking after a rescue dog who’s manners are still a bit of a work in progress. Sarah walks Kota in the daytimes during the week whilst we're at work, and sends updates and lots of pictures after each walk. We are always so happy to know that she is in safe hands and is having a fantastic time out on so many great doggy adventures. I honestly don't know what we’d do without Sarah's help, she is fantastic! More...

Sarah has been walking out staffy duke for 6 months now and he absolutely adores her. She's so reliable and takes him to a variety of places which he loves as he can explore different places. She's so trustworthy we would 100% recommend, we love her daily pics showing us what duke has been up to More...

Sarah has been walking Cody for a couple of months now and we are so pleased that we were given her name! She is so caring with Cody and has been available at short notice when we have needed additional walks. Sarah always sends photos of Cody’s walk which is so lovely to see, although I can tell Cody is happy just by the way she reacts when she sees Sarah as well as how content she is when I get home. Would definitely recommend Sarah to look after any of your animals! We are so lucky to have her walking Cody! More...

Sarah seems to be a very nice person and loves dogs, very caring and wanted all information about this dog.

Sarah has been walking our cockapoo Maya since the very first beginning, she is very professional, sent us pictures everyday from her walks with our puppy and telling us stories about the day. Maya, our puppy, absolutely love her. We will recommend Sarah to anyone who wants to have a professional service with love and care for our little hairy friends. More...

Sarah has been excellent with our cockapoo puppy. Always doing her best to be flexible with our requirements and absolutely loved by our dog. She sends photos every afternoon of the walk and tells us where she's been (and any funny stories). She is always in communication if needs be, which we have found very useful. Would recommend Sarah to anyone :) More...

Sarah was brilliant, she took such great care of our two cats while we were away and went above and beyond to care for them. They can be a bit nervous of new people but warmed really quickly to Sarah which is always a good sign. She sent lots of photos and updates which we appreciated, and our girls were happy, healthy and relaxed when we got home. Thank you Sarah! More...

I went away with peace of mind and returned to two happy cats who have been well cared for. The photo updates were great to see and it was evident that the cats reacted well to Sarah's visits - even grooming each other, something they never do when I am around! I am sure she is a cat whisperer! Their bowls were cleaned and dried food all topped up. I can't recommend you highly enough. More...

After leaving Bella at a catery last holiday (and her hating it) we looked to other options this time and were really happy with Ollie's Ark. We felt completely at ease whilst away for a 2 week holiday and got regular pictures and updates. We will return for all future holidays! More...

Thank you for looking after Bella so well and making us feel at ease while we were on holiday. The regular photo updates were great and it was lovely to see Bella so relaxed. A much better option than using a cattery- very professional and friendly service. Will definitely be asking you to look after her again when we next go away! More...

Thank you Sarah for helping out with Arthur at the last minute. Was great to be able to go out for the day and relax, knowing he would be visited and taken care of by you! Lovely to get a text and pic to see how happy he was! More...

What do you love most about your job?
I have always loved animals and what better job can I have but one that lets me be in the company of animals, ensuring they are content and happy while I am with them.
What inspired you to start your own business?
My children are now grown up so I have more time. I have two rescue dogs and 3 cats - this job now allows me to enjoy more time with my own pets as well as provide professional care to others.
Why should our clients choose you?
I am professional, DBS checked and fully insured. I can offer flexibility and will keep in close communication with you regarding your pet's needs. My aim is to keep your pet happy, not to be focused on purely having as many pets as possible on my books. I will be honest with you around availability or any concerns I have regarding your pet.
Dog Walking
Ollie's Ark offers specialised one to one dog walks for dogs who need that extra level of care and cannot cope with large six pack group walks. This may be due to behaviour, age, recovery from surgery or other individual needs. Walks are in our beautiful contryside, heaths and open spaces. They are safely transported in the Ollie's Ark vehicle in cages which vary in size dependant upon the size of the dog.
Walks are a full hour or half hour and the dog is picked up and returned to the home address.
Photos are taken daily and forwarded to the owner later in the day so they can see the fun their dog has had on their walk.
Pet Sitting
Ollie's Ark offers 15 minute pop ins, half hour and full hour pet sitting for your pets. This is offered for all small animals and dogs and can include feeding, playing, stimulation, letting out into the garden, litter changing and giving lots of cuddles!
Photos are taken daily and forwarded to the owner later in the day to show what their pet has been up to!
Pet Taxi
Ever needed to get your pet to the vets and the local taxi services refuse to transport animals? No transport of your own?
Ollie's Ark can transport your pet (and owner) to the vets or groomers or collect from local kennels.
