🌼 Springtime means sunshine, flowers... and pesky fleas and ticks! 🦟

🌷 As Spring blooms around us, it's time to embrace the sunshine, greenery, and... pesky parasites! That's right, along with the warmer weather comes the resurgence of fleas and ticks, ready to party on our furry friends. 🦟 But fear not, pet pals, for we've got some handy tips to help you keep those blood-sucking freeloaders at bay!

🔍 First up, daily flea combing is your new best friend. Spend a few minutes each day giving your pet a thorough once-over to ensure they're flea-free and fabulous. It's like a mini spa day for your fur baby, minus the cucumber slices!

✨ Grooming isn't just for looks – it's essential for your pet's health and happiness. Regular brushing removes loose hair, dirt, and prevents those dreaded tangles. Plus, it's the perfect opportunity for some quality bonding time with your furry companion. Who knew grooming could be so glam?

🪒 When it comes to tackling fleas, simplicity reigns supreme. A flea comb is your secret weapon – affordable, effective, and guaranteed to keep those critters in check. Don't have one? No problem! A trusty nit comb from your kid's stash will do the trick just fine. Resourceful pet parents, unite!

👀 Don't forget to pay special attention to those flea hotspots – the base of the tail, armpits, groin area, and ears. These sneaky parasites love to lurk in the shadows, but with a keen eye and a diligent combing session, you'll show them who's boss!

🛑 A friendly reminder: while your dog walker may be a superhero in many ways, flea detection isn't their superpower. It's ultimately the owner's responsibility to keep an eye out for these pesky intruders. Remember, fleas can hitch a ride from anywhere – grass, bushes, woodland areas, or even your own back garden! So, let's all do our part to keep our furry friends flea-free and fabulous this Spring.

And remember, blaming other dogs for catching fleas is like blaming the neighbour’s cat for stealing your socks – it's a bit far-fetched! 😄 So keep those furry detectives in check, and let's outsmart those sneaky parasites together! 🕵️‍♂️🦠

• RALPH •

Yep, I know exactly what you're thinking... how cute are Ralph’s teefs! 😁 We paired him up with Tillie today for some socialisation, and let me tell you, he matched her cocker spaniel energy perfectly—just as mad and full of life!🤣 Ralph can run like the wind, and he's got the sweetest personality. 🍬 Plus, he's definitely a fan of treats, so we hit it off right away. Riding in the car with all the windows down, he was in his element, enjoying the cool breeze. 🌞 What a pleasure, Ralph! 🐾

Rosie is thriving on her walks! 🐾 We've been showered with compliments about her friendly and social nature. She's a true social butterfly, making friends with everyone she meets. 🦋 We had a blast playing in the grass and soaking up the delightful spring scents together. 🌷☀️

• TAROT •

🐱💤 Did you know? We don't just care for dogs, but cats too! Meet Tarot, the epitome of feline charm and coziness. Every time we pop in, he's fast asleep until the sound of his food being prepared wakes him up! 🤣Tarot adores affection and attention, and we love showering him with it. Such a gentle soul! We always look forward to our visits with him. 😻💕

Winnie, who I recently pet sat for, has officially joined us on walks at ReLeaf! 🐾 We paired her up with Tillie to test the waters and see how she'd do walking with another dog and experiencing some socialisation. Well, let me tell you, she absolutely loved it (and so did Tillie)! Winnie didn't stay white for long, but surprisingly, she didn't mind a wash down afterwards. She enjoyed running through mud and exploring with her new buddy. Such a good girl! 🐶🐾💚

Pairing nervous dogs, those lacking socialisation, and even those just looking for new adventures is a fantastic way for them to make friends and step out of their comfort zone. Tillie plays a crucial role in these pairings; she's neutral and adapts her energy based on the other dog's needs. Whether it's initiating play or giving space to those who prefer it, Tillie's got it covered. Here's to more fun-filled walks with our furry friends! 🌟

Now introducing the upgraded big 12L Mud Daddy & Hygienic Prewash to all dogs attending walks with ReLeaf. That's right, we've upgraded from the 5L to the 12L, because why settle for less? You know I'm all about that presentation, so it's fantastic to see our furry friends living their best lives and getting a good clean afterwards. I understand that not all dogs are fans of paw washing, so rest assured, I'll always do my best to make them feel comfortable while keeping them tidy. Drop us a message for all dog walks and pet sits, and let's ensure your pup is loving life to the fullest while you're busy or at work! 🐾✨

Happy Saturday everyone! I hope you're all enjoying the weekend so far 🌼🌻🌤️

I just wanted to address something quickly. If a potential customer reaches out or if I message a customer based on a recommendation and I have availability to walk your dog, I'll certainly try to accommodate. However, what I don't appreciate is when I've suggested a meet and greet before walking your dog and the potential customer doesn't reply. I interpret this as a sign that you no longer need your dog walked, and it's not up to me to chase after you. In the past, I've held slots for dogs after dogs, only to never hear back from the owners again. This is a significant time waste for me and affects my ability to serve other clients who urgently need the cover.

I've recently seen a status from a lady claiming her "dog walker has let her down big time." However, if you haven’t replied to my message regarding a meet and greet I see that as a sign you no longer need one. I’m not a mind reader. I won't be guilt-tripped into walking your dog and this goes for any potential customer.

Running this business involves scheduling meet and greets, advertising, walking, pet sitting, and more. It's non-stop. Additionally, my dad is recovering from cancer and major surgery, but I've never used that as an excuse to bring my personal problems to work. My clients who already know this have been a massive support and is so compassionate.

I've never been one to address issues publicly, but I feel it's important to address this and it’s actually made me really upset even though it’s something so small I always always try my best and go above and beyond as I’m a massive people pleaser.

I am not "just a dog walker." I am a person trying to make a living providing for my young daughter, and I have feelings too. I sometimes feel taken advantage of because I go above and beyond for people.

I'm also trying my best.

I want to extend a massive thank you to every current and past client who has shown such kindness and support. Without you, I wouldn't have been able to pursue this dream and be as happy as I am now. Thank you so so much 💚 ###

Today was a successful (and slightly stressful 🤣) day introducing the gorgeous Nell to our group walks. As the youngest, it was important to ensure she had a great first experience for socialisation. She warmed up quickly, with Otis taking her under his wing. She even tried playing with Tillie's ball, though it was too big🤣, and Pippin couldn't believe how small she was. We worked on her recall with treats but had to end the walk with me picking her up when she ran over stingy nettles (call me soft lol). I imagine she'll sleep well tonight! 🐾😴

Well done Nell 💓🐾🌼

• ROBYN •

Say hello to the pretty Robyn! 🌸 Such a gorg girl with a fab temperament. We made the most of our half-hour together playing ball, lots and lots of treats, and lots of petting and cuddles. Worst guard dog ever as we became instant besties 🤣. Can't wait to see you soon, darling! 🐾

This is Jax’s unimpressed face 🤣 it’s always so hard to get a photo of him, he’s not interested whatsoever 🤣 ONE DAY we will 🙃🤣🐾

“Sooooo you gonna kick the ball then or what?” 🤣🐾⚽️

Sorry, but what happened to the weather today? 😂 The weather is as indecisive as us girls! 🌦 Hailing, snow, rain, or shine, it doesn’t stop us from getting up and getting out on our walk. Tillie and I enjoyed a lovely afternoon in Tredegar House NT/YG Tŷ Tredegar watching the ducks, some major stick throws, and getting muddy 🦆. Just what me and my sidekick like! Always a pleasure with you, my gorgy girl! 🐾💕

• NELL •

Say hello to the most gorgeous puppy, Nell! 🐾 Officially the youngest puppy at ReLeaf, she was a delight on the lead, attracting attention throughout the walk. 😍 The great thing about puppies is how quickly they pick up commands! 🐶 I cannot wait to see how Nell blossoms with her training as she gets bigger. 🐾 I'm now officially known as the cocker spaniel gal, and I love it! 🥰 See you next week, sweetie! 🍬

Isn't wet weather the perfect time to get your dogs out to play? 🌧️ Koda enjoyed a quiet walk along the field and canal this morning. 🐾 The second pic describes him perfectly - looks like someone's bored of me taking pictures! 😂

• ROBY AND MAVERICK •

Say hello to the adorable duo, Roby and Maverick! 🐾 These boys were an absolute delight to walk. Roby couldn't get enough of the water, and Maverick was right by his side, following his brother's lead. 🌊 We spent the hour-long walk building trust with lots of treats and exploring all the wonderful sniffs along the way. Can't wait for our next adventure together! 🐶💙

As a dog walker, ensuring the safety and happiness of the dogs in my care is my top priority. 🐾 On Saturday afternoon, I had the pleasure of visiting a secure field with my family to see if it was suitable for my business. My cockers absolutely loved running around the 3-acre field, enjoying the obstacles, and giving me peace of mind that they couldn't escape, eat anything harmful, or encounter other dogs or owners. It was also a great opportunity for my daughter to enjoy quality time with our dogs, knowing she was safe. 🌳

Moving forward, I'll be using a secure field for every group dog walk providing numbers of dogs that want to attend. A secure dog field is an excellent environment for socialising with other dogs, providing a controlled space free from distractions. This allows us to focus on teaching commands, reinforcing good behaviour, and addressing any training challenges. It also gives the dogs in my care, who are usually on a lead, a chance to enjoy some freedom off-lead without the worry of them wandering off due to distractions.

Please get in touch via Messenger or 07544552996 if this is something you’d like your dog to be apart of 🐾

• WINNIE •

Meet the adorable Winnie! 🐾 Tonight, Winnie had some company, braved a wet and windy walk, and then enjoyed more companionship with me. We did our utmost to keep her pristine white coat spotless, but hey, a little mud adds character, right? 🤣 Winnie has been an absolute superstar throughout! ✨🐶

22/02/2024

Literally 🤣

I think this sums it up nicely! 🤣
