About Me
I am a 45 year old man with a wife, two adult boys, two cats and our border collie/springer cross Riley. After over 20 years of working in the building trade in Lincoln and Sheffield I decided a change was as good as a rest!
I have always been around dogs from a young age and have spent years walking our four legged friends for family, neighbours and myself. The logical step forward when I realised I wanted a career change, was to take my combined love of dogs and the great outdoors, put them together and try and make a living out of it-so here i am! Nearly six years later I'm happier than ever with several carefully selected packs who have all been chosen to walk and play together.
I also have several puppies who are still too young to be walked outside so until they can join one of my happy 'gangs', i will spend time with them in their own home or garden playing and helping to train them whilst you are at work (not forgetting their feeding and toileting needs) At the other end of the scale, i have the strength to handle even the biggest and most boisterous of our four legged friends as some of my regular customers can testify too!
I have full CRB clearance and I am fully insured for dog walking both on and off the lead- documents to prove this are available to be checked and I will always bring them along to our first meeting.
Having worked in people's homes for my whole adult life, I am more then aware of the need to be trust worthy, discreet and respectful at all times.
I NEVER WALK MORE THAN FIVE DOGS (PLUS MY OWN) AT ANY TIME.

Travel in Style!
The safety of your dog is top of my priority list which is why I have stripped and re fitted my van with nonslip rubber flooring and several high quality and easy to clean crates. The van is air conditioned for the summer months and can be heated in winter if needed. Because there are no windows, even the most nervous/travel sick dog can relax and rest due to the lack of visual stimuli.
I will meet you and your dog in your home and we will agree a plan and walking schedule to suit your dog's needs. Older dogs and younger puppies may only need one or two half hour walks on the lead a day, whereas a bouncy adolescent may need an hour off lead somewhere they can run, play and swim!
The time we agree will be the time your dog is walking and will never include traveling time. I can even text/ring you when I'm out if it reassures you that you and your dog are getting exactly what you are paying for.
