Is this right for your pet?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
If your dog, cat or small pet needs something a bit different, I may be a good fit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I often help with:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- dogs who react on walks<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- dogs who struggle around other dogs<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- rescue dogs still settling in<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- dogs who do not cope well in group settings<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- cats who are happiest staying in their own home<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- rabbits and small pets who rely on routine<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- pets who do better with familiar surroundings and steady handling<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Some of the dogs I work with could not leave their street calmly at first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So we start small and build from there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

for dogs who need calm, one-to-one care<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Every walk starts and ends at your front door.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I keep routes local and familiar, and I adjust the pace to suit your dog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There is time to sniff, decompress and take the pressure off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The goal is not to clock up miles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is a calmer dog who feels safer outside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Solo dog walks are often a good fit for:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- rescue dogs settling into a new routine<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- nervous or reactive dogs who need more space<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- older dogs who prefer a gentler pace<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- dogs in training who benefit from consistency<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- larger dogs who do better with calm, sensible handling<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

Rescue dog specialist support<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
For dogs who need space, routine and understanding<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Rescue dogs often need more than exercise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They need predictable routines, calm handling and time to build confidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I offer one-to-one support walks designed to help dogs feel more comfortable in the real world, at their own pace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That might mean:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- quieter routes<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- more space from other dogs<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- shorter, steadier outings<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- realistic expectations<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- support that works with the dog in front of you<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
If your dog is newly adopted, nervous outside or finding everyday life a bit much, this is a good place to start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

House sitting in your home<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
for dogs who don\u2019t cope well with kennels<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Some pets do much better when they can stay at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
House sitting keeps everything familiar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I stay in your home, follow your routine and keep things steady while you are away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is often especially helpful for:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- rescue dogs<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- older pets<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- dogs who do not settle well elsewhere<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- multi-pet households<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- pets who rely heavily on routine<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Many pets cope better when they can stay in their own home and stick to what they already know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
