Our services

We provide a variety of dedicated services to ensure your dog receives the best possible care, tailored to their unique temperament and needs. From invigorating walks to comfortable overnight stays, we’ve got you covered.

Solo dog walks

Our 30-minute and 1-hour solo walks provide your dog with dedicated one-to-one time with me, allowing their walk to be completely tailored to their individual needs, personality and comfort level. Solo walks are particularly beneficial for dogs who are nervous, reactive, easily overwhelmed or have specific triggers and sensitivities. With just one dog to focus on, I can carefully manage their environment, identify and avoid potential triggers where appropriate, and give them the space and support they need to feel comfortable and confident. Alongside physical exercise, walks provide valuable opportunities for sniffing, exploring and mental stimulation, helping to support your dog’s overall wellbeing. Whether your dog needs a calm, gentle stroll or a more active and stimulating walk, I can adapt each outing to make it a safe, positive and enjoyable experience.

Group dog walks

Group walks are a great way for sociable dogs to enjoy exercise, explore their surroundings and build positive experiences around other dogs. Walking as part of a carefully selected group provides physical exercise, mental stimulation and opportunities for appropriate social interaction, while also helping dogs develop confidence and good social skills. Every dog is different, so I carefully consider each dog’s temperament, energy levels, size, age, behaviour and individual needs when creating groups. This allows me to ensure that dogs are matched with suitable companions and that the group can be managed safely and comfortably. If I feel a group walk isn’t the right option for your dog, I may recommend a solo walk instead, ensuring that their wellbeing and safety always come first.

Pet pop-ins

Our pet pop-in service provides your pet with some much-needed care, company and attention while you’re away or unable to be there. Each visit is tailored to your pet’s individual needs and can include feeding, fresh water, toilet breaks, playtime, cuddles, enrichment and general care. Pet pop-ins aren’t just for dogs — I’m also happy to care for cats and other small animals, including rabbits and other household pets. Whether your pet needs a quick check-in, some companionship or their usual routine maintained while you’re out, I’ll make sure they receive the care, attention and reassurance they need in the comfort of their own home.

Dog Sitting

Our in-home dog sitting service allows your dog to remain in the comfort and familiarity of their own home while you’re away. We offer more than just overnight sitting — our flexible hourly service, with a minimum booking of 3 hours, is ideal for dogs who struggle when left alone, experience anxiety, or simply feel more comfortable with someone there for company and reassurance. It’s also a great option for young puppies who aren’t ready to be left for long periods, or for occasions such as family outings, events or firework nights, when your dog may feel particularly unsettled. Whether you need a few hours of companionship or overnight care, we’ll maintain your dog’s usual routine and provide plenty of attention, reassurance and care in the environment where they feel most comfortable.
For dogs who need support beyond overnight care, the hourly service provides at least three hours of companionship during fireworks, family outings or other times they may struggle to be left alone, while keeping them settled in their own home.
