The Happy Paws Gang

About The Happy Paws Gang

I have over 20 years of experience caring for dogs of all breeds, ages and personalities, and my motivation to be a pet sitter comes from a genuine love of animals and a strong belief in calm, kind and responsible care. I have supported friends, family, and local clients with regular walks, feeding routines, and pet pop-in visits, always tailoring my care to each pet’s individual needs. I focus on safety-first care, small groups and on-lead walks, which helps dogs feel secure and relaxed, especially those who may be nervous, older, or easily overstimulated. I take time to understand each pet’s personality — whether they are energetic and playful, quiet and cautious, or somewhere in between — and adapt my approach accordingly. Some dogs benefit from gentle encouragement and structure, while others thrive with enrichment, sniffing time and calm interaction. I am confident in handling unexpected situations and always prioritise a pet’s wellbeing. In the event of illness, injury or an emergency, I follow owners’ instructions carefully, act calmly, and seek veterinary advice where needed. Clear communication is very important to me, and I make sure owners are kept informed and reassured at all times. I am reliable, patient and attentive, and I aim to provide care that gives owners complete peace of mind while they are away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and work hard to ensure each experience is positive and stress-free. For the safety of all animals in my care, I only accept vaccinated pets when required and always closely follow established routines and guidance.
