Description

I operate as a joint trader with my husband and believe in providing a service on a 1:1 basis or 2:1 if there are two pets or more . Our service provides care in their own homes or solo dog walking. I do not board in my home but can pet sit in animals own homes. Have many clients who are very happy with these arrangements. Will carry out up to 2 hours dog walking depending on age, size or needs of the dog.
I established my business over 3 years ago and recently taken up partnership with my husband, Neil but throughout our lives we have looked after my own precious pets. We have been proud owners of a 10 year old greyhound called Paddy who we adopted just over 4 years ago from The Dogs Trust. He has been a racer and with care and patience we helped him settle into his “retirement home”! Sadly he passed away in October 2024.If you look on my photos you will see how he settled to home life. We have recently adopted another retired greyhound called Ronald who has settled nicely into our home. His photo is also on my profile. We have also owned a beautiful Staffordshire Bull Terrier who sadly passed 5 years ago.I have also owned two mixed breed terriers and a German Shepherd cross with a Border Collie. When I was growing up we always had dogs. This has led to my love of dogs and to follow my dream of setting up a Dog Walking and Pet Sitting business. I have recently passed my Diploma in Pet Sitting and Dog walking and am working towards a certificate in Pet First Aid. My husband also holds this certificate.
Due to a growing business I am considering employing an assistant. I have employed my Husband Neil Sinclair and my son Andy and are fully covered by my insurance. They are both fully experienced in dog walking ,Sitting and care of dogs.

came across Bark.com, whilst looking for an alternative dog sitter, as I had been let down by Rover.com dog sitter. After putting in the details of my dog, Margaret’s details popped up. I liked her reviews. So I messaged her. Literally, from messaging Margaret, I felt she knew my dog, as she too had a Staffy and we exchanged photos of our dogs. So I booked Margaret. We continued messaging each other for a meet and greet. Margaret is calm, but got excited when she saw my dog, … AND most importantly, my dog attached to her and her husband instantly, very reassuring. Then I booked Margaret for an hour walk. Our dog was happy with her walk and continued to play with Margaret when she got home. Margaret arrived on time to look after our dog for the week. Our dog was very excited to see her. Each day I got photos and videos and messages ensuring me our dog was fine. I would 100 percent recommend Margaret and I too would book her again.
