Early walks, water and shade are in order for the crew this week.
All done and dusted, home and settled before we hit the high temps.
One day I’m gonna get in with them 😂

Welcome back, Nova!
Today was Nova’s first walk back with us after a few years away, due to changes in her family’s work commitments.

She’d been part of the crew since she was a puppy, and we’ve really missed her — it’s such a joy to have her back!

To help ease her in, we had a gentle 1:1 session filled with swimming, sniffing, and lots of tail wags. It honestly felt like she’d never been away. We’re so excited to have her joining us regularly again and can’t wait to see her reunited with her old pals!

How lucky are we to have this beautiful country park right on our doorstep?
It’s easy to forget we live in a thriving, growing town when we’re out walking in surroundings like this.

It has everything we need for the perfect walk:
🌾 Open fields for zoomies
🌳 Wooded areas for shade
💦 Streams and ponds for a cooling dip
🥾 Beautiful trails for exploring

Cranbrook really is the best place to live and work.

Because Walks Are About More Than Just Steps… ☀️🐾

Today’s toy breed group enjoyed more than just a stretch of the legs — they got a dose of enrichment, fresh air, and plenty of tail-wagging company too!

We took a gentle stroll to the orchard, where we found the perfect shady spot to relax, sniff the breeze, and watch the world go by. This peaceful pause wasn’t just for rest — it offered great mental stimulation as the dogs took in new sights, sounds, and smells, all while socialising in a calm, relaxed setting.

A lovely little adventure that ticked all the boxes: movement, enrichment, mental wellbeing, and of course… good friends. 🌳🦴🐶

🐾 Wednesday Walkies Alert! 🐾

Just look at this gorgeous crew soaking up the sunshine! 😍 We’ve got some rare space available this week for Wednesday group socials – perfect for friendly faces who love a good sniff, run, and tail wag with their pals! 🐶☀️

These spots will soon be opened up permanently, but right now I’m only offering them to dogs already in our pack. 🐕💛

If you’d like to add an extra adventure for your pup this week, just pop me a message! ✉️

🎉🐾 Happy 2nd Woofday to the fabulous Eddie! 🐾🎉
This little fluffball popped by the Cranbrook Colour Run to celebrate in style—and obviously came straight to me for birthday cuddles! 🥰💜

I may have been a bit too colourful post-run… and now, so is Eddie! 😂🌈
He didn’t seem to mind though—he wore his new look with pride. Just look at that pink pup face! 💕🐶

Hope your day was as bright and joyful as your fur, Eddie! 🥳🐾🎂

“Can you handle big dogs?”
It’s a question I get a lot — especially from owners of strong pullers.
Here’s one of my biggest and most enthusiastic groups: mostly labs and large mixes, all full of energy and not shy about using it! 😅
But with a bit of technique (and a lot of core strength!), we keep things calm and controlled.
No one’s dragged me over yet! 💪🐾

📢 Summer Holidays – A Little Heads Up Goes a Long Way! ☀️🐾

Hi lovely clients!

Just a quick heads-up that we will be on holiday the week of 25th August, so there will be no walks or visits during that time.

As we move into the summer months, I’d also really appreciate it if you could let me know as soon as possible about any holidays or days off you have planned for your pets. This gives me time to advertise any available spaces and helps avoid last-minute cancellations. I am planning on finalising our schedule for the whole summer up till September so I can see exactly what spaces we have available.

As a small, family-run business, we really do rely on our regular income – unexpected cancellations, especially at short notice, can have a big impact. Your consideration means the world to us and helps keep everything running smoothly. 💛

Thanks so much for your support – and I hope you all have a fantastic summer! 🌞🐶🐾

We don’t usually work Sundays, but Bear -with the great hair -made a special request 🐾 His human was off doing something wild and wonderful on two wheels (apparently it’s called the Nello 🚴‍♂️🤷🏼‍♀️), but Bear suspects it was just a cover to send him out for extra walkies, cuddles and compliments. Mission accomplished, Bear. 💁‍♂️❤️

A peaceful, slow-paced walk with this gorgeous crew before my Nanna’s funeral yesterday.
I could have taken the day off — and I know you would all have understood — but I needed this time with them to ground myself before what was always going to be a very tough day.
Your dogs mean the world to us in so many ways, and we feel incredibly lucky to have both them and you as part of our pet care family.
Thank you, truly.
Wishing you all a lovely weekend 🧡🐾

This is such a great blog post about what to look for in a good dog walker — and we’re proud to say we tick all the boxes! 🐾

It’s why, when we advertise spaces, we get a steady stream of enquiries. We don’t just take on any dog — they need to be a good fit for our current crew and routines. Group dynamics and welfare are always top priority. 💛

We’ve got a couple of rare spaces coming up, so if you think your pup would enjoy being part of our friendly, well-balanced pack, get in touch — we’d love to hear from you! 🐾🐾

I am asked for dog walker recommendations a lot. There’s a lot of dog walkers around, with so many new ones popping up regularly. I thought it would be more useful for me to share my dog walker & #8…
