For anyone of my dog owners that use this, take note

29/07/2024

So everyone is aware this week is due to be hot so it will be garden visits rather than walks if the weather predictions are correct.
Pavements & roads get very hot on your dogs paws. Remember to keep hydrated yourself included. Enjoy the sunshine ☀️
Do not leave dogs in cars
Keep water available at all times
Early morning & late evening walks are best.
Use a wet towel for your dog to lie on to help keep it cool or even an ice gel mat.
Ice cubes in their water
Frozen treats are a great way to help them keep cool
Stay safe & enjoy 😊 🐾

Merry Christmas & Happy New year to all my old & existing customers.
It’s been a busy year for me and I appreciate all of you who trust me with your animals.
Thank you for your continued support.

All of our dogs are on garden visits over the next few days! It’s too hot for them to be out walking. So please bare in mind if your walking your dog go out early or later & keep them hydrated. Missing a lunch time walk won’t kill them but walking on hot pavements & overheating will! Enjoy the sun ☀️ and be cautious.. don’t forget to keep yourself hydrated too! 😊🧊💦

The amount of people that think owning/running a business is easy and that you should be 'loaded' cos you own your own business !!!!

Or that it’s just a hobby and not turning up for an appointment is no big deal 🤷🏻‍♀️

Running a business is really hard. It can be very rewarding but also very challenging and can come with a lot of pressure.

What they don’t tell you is that it can cause severe stress and anxiety, and drains you mentally to the point of depression in even the most laid back people.

People will talk about you, compare you to others, use you, they will view you as a service and not a person anymore.

Friends and family will expect discounts and people will value you and your hard work less than a big chain store.

You have to worry about if you forget to email/message someone back, are they going to think it was on purpose? Did you disappoint them? Will they hold that against you? When in reality you just can’t get to everyone’s messages and emails.

Starting up and running a successful business puts incredible strain on personal lives and relationships, many of which fail because there is just often no work life balance. You need to be the director, the worker, the admin, the marketing team, the accountant, the cleaner..... All whilst being a parent, a husband or a wife, family support, friend... it’s one of the hardest things you will try and balance

There’s a reason you don’t see many people succeed in businesses after 5 years. If they are successful they are overwhelmed. It takes a toll. It’s freaking exhausting. Especially the past couple of years when so much has been out of our control.

Here’s a small reminder that we are just normal people trying to earn a living with hectic lives. Be kind, be patient, support businesses…….and hopefully more of us will stick around!

I copied this from another business owner.

A year and half into my venture and I certainly wouldn’t change it. 🐴🐾

Claire 🐾

Thank you to everyone for your recent enquiries ref dog walking. If you’ve enquired and said you’ll come back to me please do so as soon as possible. I can’t always guarantee the times we’ve talked about will still be available.
As days pass these slots are being booked up and I’d hate to disappoint anyone or not be able to help you with your pets. Thank you 😊 🐾

Hi everyone, If any of you have ever used me to walk your dogs or look after your pets/animals please could you leave me a review. It will be helpful for any future potential customers to view! 🐾 Thank you 😊

Hope everyone is doing ok? With the look of the lockdown easing people are starting to book weekends away, summer holidays and overnight stays with families they’ve missed over the past few months! So if I can help please let me know. We have some horses booked in for 2x daily visits whilst owners are away. Also one family are taking their dog to relatives while they are away but have asked me to walk their dog from this home instead.
One off walks, a week or regular help all this can be arranged to suit you.
I look forward to hearing from you & I hope we start to get some normality really soon. Take care & stay safe 🐾🐾
