“They are super reliable and always send us updates from their walks, it's such a joy to see our dog enjoying himself while we're at work. The whole team always maintains quick and clear communication, which we truly appreciate.”
“We have a reactive rescue dog, and was a bit nervous starting. But we are so happy that Sarah and the girls can see how lovely our Crumble is. We trust them so much and they have really gone above and beyond with helping him to get on group walks and be around other dogs.”
“We first started using Pads and Paws for their puppy visits and then onto solo and group walks. The ladies are all so lovely and communication is fantastic - we love seeing pictures and videos of our dog having the best time with her friends!”
“Rusty absolutely loves his walks with Steph, Sarah and Chloe. He is quite an anxious dog but when he gets picked up he doesn't even give me a second look before dragging Steph to the car. The team always send me pictures of him on his walks and his smile tells me how happy he is.”
“My Cockapoo has just joined the Tues and Thurs walks on a weekly basis, and it's clear he has the best time (he's always knackered when he gets back). The team send me lots of photos and videos of him having fun.”
“I am so grateful for the care and patience you've shown Penny. As you know, she can be a bit of a diva at times, but you've always met her exactly where she is and taken everything at her pace.”
