This absolute babe with a heart of gold and all her amazing doggies ❤️
Meeting less than two years ago but it’s like we have been friends for years ☺️
We have both made lots of new dog walking friends but ssshhhh you’re my favourite 🤫
Do we speak everyday, mmm yes 😂
It’s so nice to have someone to run things by, laugh with, moan with, discuss our highs, our lows and dramas of the days 🤪
Keep doing you and smashing it 🤸🏽♀️🥂 Four paws Dog Services

Older Dogs 👴🏻👵🏻🐶
I have a few older doggies and we keep an eye on them to make sure they are still enjoying the hour adventure walks.
We take some breaks while the younger ones run around doing their thing.
Some don’t want breaks and still keep going but we try to cater the walks so it’s not just full on walking for the whole hour.
All dogs are different depending on breeds, injuries, any underlining health conditions, aches and pains with getting older.
I mean I don’t blame them if they would rather be indoors with their slippers on especially in rain and cold 😋
Also it’s still lovely for them to come out if they want to ☺️
Ianto is still going to be coming out on a Wednesday but dropping his Thursday to chillax and recover 😴
Please don’t hesitate to contact me if any changes need to be made with older doggies as their welfare is the main thing ❤️

Why do dog owners use a dog walker?
Is it because they are in work?
I get asked this quite a lot…..
The answer is yes….and no.
Dogs come out on the walks for so many different reasons 🐾
- Owners are in work
- Working from home but have a busy schedule, meetings, calls etc
- Commitments after work
- Dogs come out on a weekly social walk
- Owner is unwell
- Busy with the children’s activities
- Group walks can bring on the dogs behaviour and doggie skills
- Owner has an injury
- Dark evenings
- Appointments
- Under estimated the commitment of a dog
- Recall often comes on leaps and bounds when with other dogs
- Owner doesn’t drive so doggies get to explore some new places
- So dogs can be off lead to have a good run around
- To play with their friends
- They aren’t very good if left home alone
- Owner is working away or on holiday and doggie either has someone at home with them or staying with a family member
- An adventure walk as a treat
- Just because they love it so much

Fly high gorgeous boy 💫🌈✨
These are always the saddest posts to write 😢
Such a shock to everyone, after an aggressive cancer was found which had spread, Tom Jones has been put to sleep 😭
Sending all of my love to Tom’s mum & dad, brother Ollie and and all of his family who loved him ❤️
As a rescue dog you have been given the best life he could have wished for 🫶🏻
I have had the pleasure of walking Tom for over 3 years starting off with the occasional solo walks with brother Ollie then moving onto the group walks for mainly a weekly social walk and holiday walks 🐾
What a little character, barking as soon as I arrived all excited to go, then barking the whole way to our walk and quiet as a mouse on our way back.
The most gorgeous nature and loved any doggies but just loved being out, playing with his ball, sniffing, having a swim, he loved the river….as I so well know after a rescue swim to get him 😂 gave the best cuddles 🥰
Tom had been his normal amazing self on the walks and at home just until the last week or so where he was being treated for a suspected chest infection 😢
So glad we had that last fab walk last week at Kenfig Nature Reserve/Sker Beach with you barking at me to throw the ball across the beach 🏖️
You will always be in our hearts and will be missed so much ♥️

Admin and Social Media 👩🏻💻📱📸🎥
When the days walks finish 🐶
It’s onto the next tasks.
Why do I post so much? 😋
The main reason isn’t to see my page grow, that’s at the bottom of the list these days, although its lovely to receive messages after seeing my posts ❤️
It’s so owners can see what their doggies have been up too 😂 where they have been for their walk, who they have been with and the happiness in their little furry faces ☺️
I try to keep in contact with everyone on a weekly/daily basic depending on the dog, type of walks, if set days or not, some people I see when collecting the dogs, some I don’t and so on.
Social media is great for everyone to access if it’s Facebook or Instagram, we are on both 🙋🏻♀️ with trying to make the posts as varied as possible with photos, videos and reels 🤘

Off leads vibes ✌️
Freedom 🤩🥳
I know it’s not for all dogs and there are reasons for leads but I do love dogs running around 😍
Long line leads (not flexi/retractable) are always a great alternative especially for reactive dogs and recall training to enable the dog to feel more free than they feel on a short lead.
My name is Nicola Smith, I am 39 and live in Brynmenyn with my husband Julian and our two cats, Sydney a black smoked Maine C**n and Lola a tabby. After taking redundancy from work in 2018 from my 9-5 office job, it sealed my decision to follow my dreams of working in the world of pet services. I am a true animal lover and have been putting my passion into action since October 2018 when Snap Happy Pet Care begun.
Growing up with my parents and two sisters I have always been surrounding by animals at home with dogs, Ben, Tess and Dora. Many cats with memorable names....Minstrels, Sammy, Winston, Tigger, Candy, Buster, Sooty, Tommy, Jenson, Bruce and many more. A rabbit, hamster and a budgie called Bobby.
I have had several years experience for friends and family pet caring and dog walking before I started Snap Happy Pet Care. I am a very active person who loves the outdoors, health and fitness.
Throughout 2018 when awaiting a redundancy date I sat several courses online - Diploma in Dog Walking, Diploma in Pet Home Sitting Professional and Animal First Aid and CPR. I then completed my Dog First Aid Emergency Canine Care in November 2018 and the IMDT two day course as a Dog Trainer in November 2019. I also volunteered in The Cats Protection Centre from October 2018 - February 2019 caring for the cats.
Since starting my business I have looked after nearly 100 pets. Dogs, puppies, cats, guinea pigs, gerbils and hamsters. I have my first reptile this month with a bearded dragon, I can’t wait! I look forward to meeting many more fabulous pets in the future ###
