21.10.26 Oakley and Petal, 90 minute group

A lovely group walk for Oakley and Petal today! ๐Ÿพ๐ŸŒณ We explored Patching Woods and were pretty lucky with the weather too. The pair had lots of fun playing together, and both went home happily worn out after their adventure. โค๏ธ

16.10.26 Barney, 90 minute solo

Barney wasn’t a fan of the wind today! ๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿพ Bless him, he still enjoyed his walk, though, especially being cheeky along the way! โค๏ธ

14.10.26 Oakley and Petal 90 minute walk

Petal has a friend! ๐Ÿพโค๏ธ Oakley and Petal enjoyed a sunny beach walk together. They walk amazingly well side by side and love to play together – a little Wednesday group walk is definitely forming! โ˜€๏ธ

10.10.26 Max and Leo, cat drop ins

A lovely way to finish the week with Max and Leo ๐Ÿพ Always a pleasure looking after these two when their family are away. The sweetest cats ever! โค๏ธ๐Ÿฑ

07.10.26 Petal, 60 minute solo

A lovely 60-minute solo walk with Petal today! ๐Ÿพ๐Ÿ’— The weather certainly gave us a bit of a shock after all those beautiful blue-sky days โ€” the rain finally arrived in full force! ๐ŸŒง๏ธ But it didnโ€™t stop us enjoying a lovely walk around Angmering Estate. Petal is always an absolute joy to walk โ€” sheโ€™s completely nuts in the best possible way, with the most amazing personality! ๐Ÿ˜‚ Sheโ€™s so loving, and I think she really enjoyed having some one-to-one time today, especially all the games of ball! Petal is now looking for a buddy to join her for future 90-minute group walks, so if your dog would love a fun-loving walking companion, get in touch! ๐Ÿถ๐Ÿ’•

05.10.26 Max and Leo, cat drop ins

Max and Leo both enjoyed a lovely 30-minute drop-in visit! ๐Ÿฑ๐Ÿพ Max was definitely making the most of the extra attention, although I always make sure to divide the fuss equally! Plenty of love, strokes and a good brush, along with fresh food, water, treats and clean litter trays. ๐Ÿ’™

04.10.26 Blue, Ferring/Goring Sunday loop

Another lovely Sunday walk with my partner and Blue! ๐Ÿพ๐Ÿ’™ This week, we headed out on a loop around Ferring and Goring, making the most of yet another beautiful day of blue skies and sunshine. Blue was very happy to enjoy some time on the beach too โ€” sandy paws and all! ๐Ÿ–๏ธ๐Ÿถ

03.10.26 Blue, Petworth Park visit

A beautiful Saturday walk with my partner and our gorgeous Blue! ๐Ÿพ๐Ÿ’™ We always love visiting Petworth Park โ€” such beautiful grounds and plenty of space to explore. And, of course, lots of deer for Blue to stare at while she debates whether sheโ€™d like to be best friends with themโ€ฆ or chase them! ๐Ÿ˜‚๐ŸฆŒ

02.10.26 Barney, 90 minute solo

Another lovely walk with Barney! ๐Ÿพ Itโ€™s hard to believe itโ€™s October when weโ€™re enjoying beautiful sunshine like this. We made the most of it with a 90-minute stroll, plenty of sniffing and a few water breaks along the way for this little man! ๐Ÿ’™

26.09.26 Afternoon first aid course

A great day spent completing an in-person canine First Aid course! I learned things such as how to perform CPR on dogs (and cats!), recognise signs of illness, deal with burns and poisons, bandage wounds, and even how a dog’s gum colour can give important clues about their health.

25.09.26 Barney, 90 minute solo

Barney enjoyed his first walk with me, and I think it’s safe to say we both loved every minute of it.
He is so stinking cute!! โค๏ธ
