Perhaps what denotes a good walk for me is one scarce tread with the people you love and a dog or two in hand.

It's perfect, it couldn't be more perfect.

Life is a series of journeys with a splash of opinionated commentaries.

Look I'm not here to make out I'm any better than any other sitter, because theres some amazing sitters out there and as for you dog walkers your incredible.

I will however always be transparent with you about how my life looks with dogs and pretty much any other animal I've owned.

I'm not looking to fill my books with a myriad of clients but rather share my time with folks who align with my often philosophical and relaxed approach to guardianship of their pets.

My beloved pony Jake drunk from my cup and we often shared an apple. (Tears rolling down my face as I write this)

My friend Cay the Keeper of Hearts (pictured) eats from my fork, drinks from my cup, always travels shotgun and is my world and one I fear one day will leave me for the eternal sky.

So there's nothing you can ask of me regarding your pets that will shock me, in the bed, on the bed or beside the bed. I'm that kind of man.

I've often said it's the little things that make life as a Pet Sitter even more enjoyable...

Footwear is absolutely no exception, let's face it we walk, we walk quite a lot.

Until a few years ago I had always been a Hunters Wellington boots fan until I discovered the French brand Le Chemeau which translates 'The Camel' since then I've never looked back.

Yes they are a little more pricey than your Dunlops but I've yet to find slippers as comfortable as these wellies.

So here's my recommendation, while there on sale grab yourself a pair of Le Chemeau.

Many canine experts would simply argue canine behavior as genetic adaptions bought on by
psychological and environmental and learned influences

I however rightly or wrongly and with no air of professionalism choose to interpret things on a much more simple level.

While I would not begin to suggest that certain behaviours are defined by evolutionary genetics and certain behaviours are indeed learned.

I believe the affections between man and dog are best understood in terms of discourse of the heart.

There is without doubt a conversation that exists between both the heart of man and a dog.

I love my dog and my dog loves me.

My adoration for dogs started as a youngster. I remember with great fondness we had 2 poodles called Bruce and Ross and a beautiful retriever called Pepe.

My parents worked closely with the National Canine Defence League and independently with other dog rescue organisations, often we would have 20 dogs about the house.

I believe this is where my connection and deep adoration for canines started.

As many of you know when the time came to start my own life with the my darling wife Sam it didn't stop there. Aswell as dogs over the years we also welcomed to the family horses, ponies, sheep, cows, goats, chickens, turkeys, geese and even 2 rats called Ivy and Irene.

Moving forward some years the idea was conceived to start 'The Au Paw' an opportunity to pour some of that deep routed love into other people precious pets.

I'm happiest best in the company of a dog or few, I often feel recharged.

We had by this time been running our cleaning business for over 17 years. One of our much valued clients spoke to me with regards to getting a dog which I encouraged no end. This is him 'Cerbe' and this is where it all started.

Since then I have been privelaged beyond words that can do such favourable justice and heart that's full to have met some incredible dogs.

When we officially launched The Au Paw to Facebook back in early 2023 we never expected to see business growth like we have done. We've always been passionate about animal and raised our children with horses, sheep, chickens, pigs, goats, dogs and cats to name but a few. Our business model had always been and still is not specifically about the quantity of sits or the volume of work; but to create a valued group of clients with whom which we can establish ongoing relationships and continuity of service. You will see when you visit our page that we don't seem to have many reveiws, fortunately for us almost all of our clients repeatedly call upon us to care for their pets and their home... Our meet and greets are relaxed but completely focused on how we can deliver the absolute best for you, your pets and your home. Who knows we may have to start a waiting list... Here's our latest review from Carol Radford. Extending my thanks to all my customers (but mostly your pets) for making our vision a reality. 🐾
