Welcome to my page
Let me introduce myself:

My name is Mandy and I am a friendly, honest and reliable animal lover who has had pets all my life. Smithy enjoys coming out on some of the our walks and playing with the friends he has made. I was made redundant from my city job at the end of 2013 and decided I would like to spend my time doing something I love....working with animals. Mandy'

s pet services was set up in 2014 and I have been looking after the lovely dogs, cats, chickens, guinea pigs, gerbils and tortoise in the local area since then. I offer dog walking services from 15 minutes to an hour. Dogs can be walked alone or in groups for social interaction. I also offer pet visits which can be tailored to your pets needs. Whether you require me to let your dog out, feed your cat/rabbit/guinea pig etc, change litter trays or just give lots of fuss and attention. If requested I will also take in post and water plants. I am DBS checked and fully insured and I am accredited to NARPS UK (national association of registered pet sitters and dog walkers)

Whether you need my services on a regular or occasional basis, give me a call, message me or email me to discuss your requirements.

What amazing clients I have!

Thank you to all my clients who have trusted me to look after their fur and feather babies.
This last nine years have gone by so fast. I always felt like I was on a sabbatical and would need to return to the real world at some point. Suppose this is that point!

I will miss you all🥰

Looking ahead to this week's weather....it's continuing to be "El scorchio"🌡️🥵☀️
So, it looks like some adjustments will need to be made to keep the dogs safe and healthy.
For the dogs home alone I may need to change walks to garden visits.
There may be cancellations for others who have human company but I will let everyone know as soon as I can determine the appropriate action.

Mandy’s Pet Services will be closing its doors and hanging up its leads on the Friday 30th June.
Thank you to everyone who has supported me in this wonderful adventure.
I will miss all the dogs, cats, hens and other wonderful creatures I’ve had the honour and privilege to look after.

Mandy

A fellow dog walker had this on their page.
It's so accurate I had to post it too☺️

Secrets of a Dog Walker

1. It's a lifestyle, not just a job. If you're in it for the money you've made a big mistake because a) you're never going to be rich, end of story; and b) you won't survive your first winter if that's your only motivation. We see these people come and go from time to time.

2. We talk to each other more than you might think. About the best walking boots, what clothing we are wearing for today's weather, our financial struggles, the traffic, dodgy men in the woods, fallen trees, etc. It's a lonely job but we have each other's backs from a distance.

3. We don't physically have eyes in the backs of our heads but we know so well the sound of every jingle of every ID tag, and every dog's individual footfall on the ground behind us, we may as well have.

4. We can't physically see round corners either, but we know so well each leading dog's body language in reaction to an oncoming person and/or dog that we may as well be able to.

5. We hear "Are they all yours?!" and "Wow you've got your hands full" at least twice a day, but we always smile and say "They keep me on my toes". Every. Single. Time.

6. It actually breaks our heart when a dog moves out of our area, and we thoroughly investigate our replacement for our own peace of mind, even if the client hasn't asked us to. Let's not even talk about when they pass away, we feel every bit of grief too, more than owners might think.

7. If you peel back a few layers of clothing (depending on the season) you will find bruises, scratches and scrapes covering the whole of our bodies. Don't bother asking where they came from, we have no idea.

8. If you see a dog walker looking vaguely presentable on a weekday, you should send help, something is not right.

9. We love our clients' dogs as we do our own and will sometimes lie awake at night worrying about their injuries, illnesses, and behaviour problems. We can't help it after spending so much time with them.

10. Despite the financial uncertainty, the harsh winters, the blood, sweat and tears, it really is the best job in the world!

Dogs find comfort in having a routine

If you are currently working from home but will be returning to the office in the future, why not start preparing your four legged fur baby now.

When their home routine does change they will already be familiar with their walking routine, making the transition easier for them...and you.

I currently have space available.
Please give me a call or message me to discuss your requirements.
