​
Do you offer home boarding & pet taxi services?
Unfortunately I don't offer either of these services currently.
​
Do you have any dog walking equipment prefences?
I will use whichever equipment your dog is used to & comfortable with, but due to the safety and/or welfare issues associated with them I will not use choke chains, pinch collars or e-collars. I am happy to use extendable leads on medium or small dogs but only if used on a harness & I request owners provide a suitable short lead for roadside walking.
​
Do you walk dogs with behavioural issues?
I will accept dogs with behavioural issues, depending on severity, on a case by case basis.
​
What if I need to cancel a dog walk or pet service?
I ask to be given 24hours notice in the event of needing to cancel any of my services.
​
Do you allow dogs offlead?
Not to begin with, however in time if your dog has reliable recall & we are in a secure location they may be able to enjoy offlead time on their walks.
