We look forward to staying with you for a week very soon Merlin 🤩💙 you have progressed AMAZINGLY, and you let your family leave the room yesterday to see how you’d do.. it’s safe to say, you have done us immensely proud. 🥹 We remember how scared and anxious you were but just look at you grow 😊

Today was our last day with the wonderful Betty!

Normally, Betty is quite reactive around other dogs.. but this evening she surprised us! She actually became best friends with him! His name is ‘Frisby’ what a cool name! 💙🥰

We received permission to take these photos as Frisby is very well known to the local Care Home!

We will miss you Betty! Until next time 🥰❤️
It has been the BEST week!

Here is a huge welcome to one of our newest pawsome clients 🐾🐶

We had a great time with you the other day Molly and we look forward to spending more time with you in a few days!

You are such a well behaved girl 🐾💗

We’re keeping Dottie cool 😎 for the summer ☀️

Please please please - if anyone has a little paddling pool for their furry friends, put it in the shade, fill it with fresh cold water and let them enjoy it in their own time ❄️

Dottie stopped panting as soon as she had water on her! We will be having a walk later tonight as the sun is too hot today to walk her ❤️🐾

We are at the moment, alternating between two different doggies, so we are kept on our paws ourselves!

Remember guys - you can also make some doggy safe frozen popsicles, or simply freeze some of their favorite meats by popping them in ice cube trays with a little water and freeze!

Anyone who feels they would benefit from advice by ourselves, please do message us 🥰

We love Betty sooo much 😍

We are absolutely besotted!

You’re such a little darling to look after! We love the snuggles at nighttime too!

Message us to book your pooch’s spots in 🤩🐾

It’s not everyday you find a little frog in a client’s home whilst staying there..

We named her Morpheus 😂

It took approximately 10 mins to catch her, but she got released straight away and is apparently a regular!

Just wanted to put a smile on all you lovely peoples faces 🤩🐸

We have two weeks here with this beautiful girl and we so cannot wait for some adventures together! 💕

⚠️ DOGS IN EXTREME WEATHER CONDITIONS ⚠️

Please think before taking your dog out in this heat!

We have witnessed quite a few people taking their dogs outside during the temperatures of 27 degrees to 30 degrees and it’s NOT okay! We know when we get too hot, we have shoes on our feet to avoid burning from the pavement, we get drinks whenever we feel thirsty, we can wear hats and suncream to avoid severe burning, we can wear less clothes to feel less hot. Dogs cannot do any of these things. Either take your dogs out during the morning up until maximum 11am, or from 5:30 / 6pm in the evening onwards. It is not fair to put your dogs at a life threatening risk where they cannot tell you they’re in pain. The moment you realize they have heat stroke, it could be too late.

Please take the time today, to read through what we have posted down below, and remind yourself of the requirements needed to avoid heatstroke. You wouldn’t want to walk barefoot on a burning pavement with fur all over you, so why should they?

Here is a little insight to Dottie’s agility course training which she just loves to do on almost every dog walk! Dottie is so happy to show off her cool jumping tricks. This is really beneficial to a dog’s cognitive abilities as well as being fun! Be sure to treat them afterwards! 😊

31/07/2024

Here are some pictures from our weekend stay with Dottie 💕

Dottie did so well with her training! She is very reactive to cars, but soon learnt that we are safe people, therefore she did as we asked whilst being given small healthy treats! Her recall is absolutely amazing and her owners were kept up to date everyday on their beloved Dottie’s progress!

We cannot wait for our next adventure with you Dottie x

You’re such a lovely boy Rolo 🐾💙

*The second photo is after his morning walk today.. 1 walk out of 3 as this boy has ENERGY 🤣

22/07/2024

It’s safe too say, I believe I have one VERY pleased Rolo..

Whilst Rolo’s mummy and the rest of the family are on holiday, we are looking after this absolute treasure 😇

Rolo is very reactive to other dogs, hence the muzzle. We do not judge here! Just look at that big smile! He couldn’t hurt a fly 🥰❤️

I cannot wait to have you for this week Rolo, we both can’t!

Hiya everybody!

We’d like to introduce you to Merlin the frenchie 🥰 and his owner Lorna 😁

Well well.. what can we say? We have only met Merlin two times.. now Merlin is an extremely anxious dog and always has been. He is not a dangerous dog, he is just super aware of his surroundings.

We highly expected Merlin to bark at us and warn us away the first time of meeting.. much to our surprise, Merlin did extremely well with positive reinforcement of treats and was soon sniffing our hands, taking things into his own safe stride! Proud was an understatement!!!

Our second meeting, Merlin knew exactly who we were and knew we were the ‘safe people from last time’. The only time he tried to warn us away was when Kurtis put his sunglasses down due to the sun - this was a very good thing Merlin did, he did not know Kurtis’s identity when he had half of his face covered, therefore Merlin protected his mum. (Of course after they were off we had lots of sniffs again)

This week, we will be introduced to Merlin’s garden whilst he is on the lead (this is more personal to Merlin) whilst next week, it’ll be off the lead in the garden and the fifth visit will be in the home on / off the lead! We are visiting Merlin every week in the run up to us looking after him in his own home next month. By doing this, we gain Merlin’s upmost trust and confidence!

Let’s see what this week brings Merlin! 🥰

Hiya everyone!

We have been back from our holiday in Spain for a few days now, we have settled back into routine and are ready more than ever to get back to work and see our doggy friends 🥰

We are getting very booked up! We love having continuous appointments with our customers, this is most definitely the best awarded job for us 🐶

If you are in need of a dog walker or a pet sitter, please don’t hesitate to let us know. We walk dogs for however long you need, we do daily drop ins whilst you are at work, and we pet sit in your own home which also benefits your pets especially nervous ones!

We have extended experience with dogs, my partner has trained several rescue dogs who were once too terrified to look at humans - who now know several tricks and are extremely well behaved and trained! We offer training for free, if you have already booked in dog walking with us / pet sitting etc.

Our contact details are:

•The business page messenger
•Tell: 07502136065
•Email: [email protected]

We do have business cards which we regularly put in shops, or post about the area, we also offer receipts after payments / deposits.

We do urge, if you know anyone with a disability especially, or anyone elderly / anyone with kids who are busy or work full time etc, then please do refer them onto us. We are here to help ❤️

Good Afternoon Everybody!

As stated before, we are back in business from the 7th July!

Even though our time away was highly needed, we are eager to see all our regular faces again 🐾❤️

We have been getting quite booked up in regards to pup - sitting at our client’s own homes, so if this is something you would like us to do for you, even if it’s for a last minute holiday, then please don’t hesitate to message us. Remember, if you’re booking a week with us, we will take away £30 for you.

Dog walking can be booked in block bookings via bank transfer / cash, or you can pay on the spot, however it is easiest for you 🙂

There are two of us here, so there is no job too large or too small! We’re here to help anyone no matter your circumstances.

If you know someone who is in need of a regular dog walker, or someone who needs us to stay in their home while they’re away, or needs us to pop our heads in whilst they’re at work for the day, then please please do forward our information on to them.

Here at Palmer’s Paws, nobody gets judged!

Please note: whilst we are having this beautiful hot weather, doggy walks will either commence in the morning, or in the evening to prevent risk of heatstroke during the peak hours of the day. A doggy water bottle will still be brought on the walks.

We hope everyone is enjoying the sun, and we look forward to seeing old and new faces! 🐾❤️

Thank you.

Thank you for your understanding and patience! 🐾
