Dog walker & Pet care service, Dishforth Hello, welcome to Rockys's Paws, my name is Amanda & Rocky’s Paws is my dog walking & pet check-in business.
(2)

It’s named after one of my own dogs, Rocky, who was a much-loved rescue dog that my partner & I took some few years ago (he loved water, as you can see from profile photo he had just been playing in the river). I set up my business after our dog walker left to move down south & it also gave me more time to spend with Rocky as being a rescue he needed a bit more care & attention. I have always had

a love of animals, dogs in particular, as they fascinate me! Rocky passed away a few years ago (old age) & we still miss him now. We have another collie, Zak, who is very much loved too & he joins in on some of the walks. I am based in Dishforth & I grew up in Dallowgill in the Dales next to a farm. Over the years I have been lucky enough to have many pets including rabbits, guinea pigs, Yorkshire terriers & border collies; one very tame guinea pig was best friends with the Yorkie & visitors were always surprised that we had a guard guinea pig! I always want the best care for my dog & I know what it’s like trying to balance a hectic lifestyle with keeping family pets. I aim to help with your dog walking and pet sitting requirements. Having a pet, whatever variety, as part of your family is very rewarding - that lovely happy face waiting for you when you open the door from a busy day at work, never judging you & always pleased to see you. Walks are fun, stimulating, invigorating, entertaining & great exercise for your dog (and me!). I aim to walk no more than 4 dogs at any one time to ensure your pet gets the utmost care & attention. I take dog walking seriously & your dog’s welfare is my top priority. Dogs are walked for a full half an hour or hour (whichever you prefer) as travel time is not included in the time I charge for. Upon returning from our walks it’s time to clean paws (and muddy tums if needed!), fill up water bowls, give your dog a treat (if permitted) and then I will leave your tired, trusted pet to have their well-earned snooze. I am CRB checked & insured. Please be assured that any information I keep on clients is securely locked away & any keys held are marked up in a coded system, not marked with any address details. Whatever your dog walking or pet minding needs please give me a call to discuss your requirements; I will try my best to help where I can.

Rocky's Paws is 10 years old this week😄Wow, where did all that time go! 10 years ago I gave up a job I loved to start my Pet business & I absolutely love it 😍🐶🐱🐭🐹🐰🐔.

I am so proud of my little business. It is hard at times as any small business owner knows. and to last more than 2 years is an incredible feat. I will never make a million but I love what I do 😄

I am very lucky that I have such wonderful customers (and owners 😁). Thank you to all of them & to you all, as without you I would not have made it to 10 years😘

Happy 10th Birthday Rocky's Paws!

Bank holiday weekend & we have seen a bit of Sun 😄Summer is on its way! Not long to the school Summer holidays when folks will be heading off on well earned breaks. Don't forget to book holiday care for your pets 😃. I offer pop in visits for cats, guinea pigs, rabbits & other small furries 🐱🐹🐭🐰 (sorry I don't do dog boarding).

For any new customers I would need to pop round to visit you & your pet/s in your home before any booking is confirmed & this takes place a few weeks before your holiday so don't leave it to the last minute.

I am already fully booked for October half term week Sat 26th October to Sun 3rd November.

A Happy Easter to everyone! I am out & about looking after cats & chickens this Easter while their owners are away on their hols. Dog walking as usual too of course 😃🐶🐱🐔

14/01/2024

2024 here we come! Looking forward to walking in the cold crisp & dry weather that we are due to have over the next few days 🐶.

The cold dark nights are making people think of booking holidays. Don't forget to book for your pets too. I offer "pop in" care for cats 🐱, rabbits 🐰, chickens 🐔, guinea pigs & other small furries 🐹🐭 . (Sorry I don't do dog boarding or dog day care). I mainly cover Dishforth & Rainton.

Please remember to book well ahead as I would need to do a meet & greet introduction visit to you & your pets at your home before any bookings are confirmed.

Christmas is nearly here 🎄! Thank you to everyone for your custom & continued support 🐶🐱🐰🐔🐹.

I will be finishing for the Christmas holidays on Friday 22nd December & then will return to work on Tuesday 2nd January 2024.

Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year 😄🎅🎄

Autumn already, where have the last few months gone, time has indeed flown! Looking forward to autumnal walks with all the pooches in the cooler weather.

Rocky's Paws turned 9 in July! Wow, the years really have flown!

Half term is not far away & I am booked up for holiday cat pop-in visits, which I am looking forward to. I already have quite a few pop-in visits booked for next year so don't leave it too late to book for next year.

18/06/2023

Please see new price list active from July. You will see that I have introduced 3 different time lengths for customers to choose from for my "pop in service" visits. After discussing with a few customers & my experience of visits over the years, I found that not all customers want/need half hour visits, so hopefully the new range of time lengths will be helpful.

06/06/2023

Summer is here......I think!! Bit cloudy & cold today!

My Pop in service for dates over the school summer holidays are filling up. This service is where I pop into your home to care for cats, rabbits, guinea pigs & other small furries while you are away on holiday. (I am fully booked for the last week of July & first week of August). I cover Rainton & Dishforth village.

Don't forget that for new customers I would need to arrange to pop round for an intro meeting. This is a meet & greet session for owners, pets & I to meet each other & to discuss care details. This is arranged at the time of booking & is usually done a few weeks before holiday date (there is no charge for meet & greet session). After the intro meeting, if everyone is happy to go ahead, then the booking can be finalised & a date/time is arranged for me to pop back to collect key (usually a few days before holiday).

Happy Summer Holidays ahead!

I am filling up too for pop in visits over the school summer holidays for cats, rabbits, guinea pigs & other small furries so please don't leave it too late to book holiday care (limited spaces left for last week in July & last week of August). Sorry I don't do dog boarding.

Now that 2023 is here & we all start to think towards Summer hols, don't forget holiday care for your pets too.

I offer a service for cats, rabbits, guinea pigs & other small furries. This service is where I pop in to your home to feed & care for your pets while you are away. I can also water plants, open/close curtains, put bins out/in, gather up post etc to give your home the lived in look too. (I am already full for Feb half term 11 to 18 Feb & have limited slots left for Easter school holidays).

Where has this year gone, time is flying, nearly October already! It's been a busy few months. Lots of lovely dog walks and cats, rabbits, guinea pigs & chickens to look after while their owners have been away on their holidays.

Rocky's Paws celebrated its 8th birthday in Summer. Here's to many more! It has certainly been a challenging summer finding new ways to keep pets cool, calm & happy during the heat waves. Looking forward to all the Autumn walks.

I am still full for dog walking at the moment.

I am full for dog walking at the moment.

If you are going on holiday this Summer, I still have a few dates available for cat/rabbit & other small furries pop in visits. (Don't forget that for new customers an introduction visit needs to be arranged before you go on your holidays, so please ensure you allow time for that to be done).

Sorry, I don't do dog boarding or doggie day care.

🐶I have a Mon to Fri hour walk slot available for a socialised dog to join in our lunchtime group walk (Dishforth/Rainton). If you are interested please message or call me.🐶
