Sandy Paws & Waggy Tails

Dog walking, 5* home boarding rating (Licence number 22/00009ANIMBO) & pet services. Introducing Sandy Paws & Waggy Tails.
(13)

Providing adventures for your best friends. Sandy Paws & Waggy Tails is run by a true dog loving family in Exmouth. That is me, Lee Salter - with a bit of help from my mucky spaniel Alfie. I am not a franchise or big business with multiple employees, I spend time building relationships & bonding with your dogs (& their humans). I am based in Exmouth, but provide dog walking, dog trail running, dog

home boarding, puppy, cat & other small pet services throughout Exmouth, Budleigh Salterton, East Budleigh, Woodbury, Otterton, Yettington, Lympstone, Exe Estuary villages, Clyst St Mary, Topsham & Newcourt. I can offer home boarding to a wider area than my dog walking services - serving home boarding needs across the wider East Devon & Exeter areas. With over 30 years of dog ownership, I understand that your dog is part of your family, and that using a dog walker requires a large amount of trust. Your dog’s welfare and happiness, and your own home security is paramount. I am DBS (formally CRB) checked, and I have received training and certification in canine handling and first aid. I have suitable public liability insurance. I am licensed by the council for home dog boarding. I understand the demands of busy work schedules conflicting with happy dog ownership, so I offer flexible services to suit your requirements - I can help you whether you work 'non standard' shifts, or a regular '9 to 5' job. I have a safe, secure air-cooled van to transport your beloved pets in comfort and safety. I never exercise more than 5 dogs at a time - usually less (and this includes Alfie). Before walking your dog, I will meet with you and your dog to discuss your needs. I will only exercise your dog off the lead in a safe environment and if agreed in writing by you (subject to satisfactory recall and temperament). I am a responsible dog walker who always respects other users of the trails, and I alway clear up dog mess. I have experience with walking older or overweight dogs and can adjust exercise to meet your needs. I walk and run in the rural Exmouth area - mostly Woodbury Common, the beach and coast path. I aim to provide a stimulating, fun exercise environment, and I am happy to reinforce any basic training requirements with your dog while out. I aim to return your hound tired and happy. I will towel down any mucky paws to the best of my ability. I offer group or individual walks, puppy playtime home visits and toilet visits. I can also offer home toilet or feeding visits for cats or other house pets. For fitter and more energetic dogs that need extra tiring out, I also offer up to an hour of off road trail running where I cover around 7 miles - with a maximum of two dogs at a time when running (individual needs can be discussed). I understand the demands of balancing a busy work life with happy dog ownership, so I also offer a last minute ‘stuck at work service’. If any of my customers are unexpectedly held up at work, and unable to get home in time to tend to their pet, then you can phone me, and I will visit your home for a last minute toilet visit or walk. Please see the ‘services’ section for full list of services and pricing. Prices reduced by 50% for second dogs in the same household.

**** I offer a 10% discount on all services for emergency services staff (police, fire, ambulance, RNLI & coastguard), as well as armed forces and NHS (on production of valid identity card)
I also offer a loyalty scheme for ALL customers, where for every 9 walks or runs purchased, you get the 10th one for FREE! This continues on an accumulative basis for every 10th walk / run. ****

Please do get in touch if you have any special requirements that are not listed, or if you are unsure if I can cover your area. Contact me online or by telephone any time to discuss your needs or any questions. I hope to see you and your happy hounds soon.

Home boarded Spike is enjoying a family weekend away on Exmoor in the van with Team Sandy Paws (with the full consent of her humans of course). We are very lucky ❤️

Home boarded Pretzel & Marvin seem to have become best friends on sight ♥️

If any of you lovely humans have any old / spare dog beds, toys, blankets, food, bowls or any dog gear at all that you can spare then I would be very grateful if you could donate them to this charity via me. Mrs Sandy Paws is collecting items in the next few days to take there next week as they are struggling with demand & funding & they have gone above and beyond to rescue dogs in horrendous conditions that you would struggle to comprehend.
Thanks so much.

Two happy, tired home-boarded hounds. Sookie & Pretzel are always perfect house guests. I think their long walks today have worn them out ❤️

‘If I stare at the door hard enough you might come back from the bathroom immediately’. Mrs Sandy Paws is a secretly a little put out that Ghillie adores me so much & follows my every move. She usually gains ‘points’ by giving extra late night sofa cuddles with the dogs after a late shift when I’m in bed… *Although she wasn’t quite so impressed earlier when she was trying to use the bathroom in peace & had 3 loving dogs (2 x spaniels & a lab) scratching at the toilet door because she dared to shut it)*
We wouldn’t change it for the world. Our home is their home ❤️

18/11/2023

After some very energetic walks this morning, the Sandy Paws house is all quiet with very tired dogs. Here’s home boarded Teddy & Sookie enjoy their cosy beds & the fire. It’s such a pleasure having your hounds in our home ❤️

Just a reminder to all my awesome humans that I have changed my bank account this week. I’ve emailed you all previously with my new bank details & your next invoice will have them on too. If you are unsure just shout. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Homeboarded Spike is very happy stretched out in front of the warm fire. I swear she’s smiling.

A tangle of limbs on the sofa tonight. Comfy there Pretzel? Duggie is curled up on his favourite arm chair & Pretzel seems to have got tangled up. A house full of happy sleeping hounds & cosy humans ❤️

It’s been a busy summer for Sandy Paws, we’ve loved having your dogs in our home, whether it’s been for long holidays or long weekends, they’ve had cuddles on the sofa & joined us on trips away in the van. They are part of our family & we are very lucky ❤️

18/06/2023

Keeping water loving dogs cool & tired is always fun. We’ve been busy with Spaniels, Labs & a Hound staying this week. Good dogs ❤️

05/06/2023

I welcomed two new hounds to the Sandy Paws family today… Meet Maggie & Pippa. Two gorgeous dogs who fit in perfectly on our adventures. Good girls (& yes, that’s one more spaniel to add to my collection)! I’m definitely earning the name of ‘crazy spaniel man’!

15/05/2023

Comfy there Pretzel? ❤️
Homeboarded Pretzel is only a pup, but she’s an absolute superstar. Homeboarded regular Duggie reluctantly shared Mrs Sandy Paw’s lap & the sofa with her ❤️

18/02/2023

Beach playtime for home boarded Charlie & Buddy (& Mucky Pup Alfie).
When your dogs stay with us then they become part of the family, relaxing on the sofa, joining us on the beach, in the pub or curled up in front of the fire ❤️

Three tired, happy dogs sprawled out on front of the fire. Home boarded Ruby & Charlie have been an absolute pleasure to have in our home

Merry Christmas to all my awesome hounds & humans. Thank you all so much for your very kind words in your cards & your very generous gifts. It’s an honour to spend my days with your dogs.

It’s a spaniel’s life. Watching Christmas films in front of the fire. Home boarded Duggie has the arm chair & Mucky Pup Alfie makes a good rug on the floor.

More late night sofa cuddles with Mrs Sandy Paws. Last time Ginny boarded with us she was teeny. Look at her now, what a beaut.
* homeboarded regular Duggie wasn’t a fan of sharing his cuddles with Mrs Sandy Paws - but he was an awesome tolerant boy & eventually managed to share - come on dogs don’t give Mrs S-P a big head, there’s enough love for everyone *

So after nearly 4 years of being my apprentice, Blossom now has a new full time job - school!! Thank you so much to all your dogs who have provided her with the perfect environment and companionship for the first few years of her life. She’s been very lucky. I’ve decided I’ll have to start paying her during the school holidays though.
Her first day of full time dog walking (aged 6 months) v today her last day (4 years). Alfie & I look somewhat more grey!!) 😂

24/08/2022

Look who joined us on her first walk! It’s the awesome Pretzel pup. We were all very sad when the wonderful Bagel passed away & she forever has a place in our hearts, but this gorgeous girl has brought some new joy into her family. Good girl Pretzel. We can’t wait to have you stay in our home 🥨❤️

18/07/2022

Weather update: I have noted the amber heat warning, & as always your dog’s happiness & welfare is my priority, however local temperatures are not looking excessive. For those who want it, I will sticking to my usual adapted ‘hot weather’ walks (shady wooded areas, plenty of water play, less running around & plenty to drink - shorter time if needed). As usual if anyone wants to cancel your walks due to heat then that’s completely fine just let me know.
🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾

The beautiful home boarded Spike. She’s a nervous girl but has become so confident in our home & now brings toys to the sofa for us to throw for her (& Blossom has become her new favorite ball thrower). Good girl Spike ♥️

Happy Easter from George, Pedro, Twig & Bimble.
I’m very lucky to spend my days with your awesome pups.

A stunning morning for playtime on the estuary for home boarded George, Cooper & Mucky Pup Alfie. Good boys.
