We used the dog walker leading up to a holiday and then for twice daily visits while we were away. Our dog walker was Michelle and she was lovely. Completely trustworthy and very flexible. Our dog has some anxiety issues and Is not used to strangers so it was crucial for us that whoever walked her was able to build a relationship with her and continue our routines. We had every confidence that Michelle would do this and it was such a weight off our minds to know we could go away and all would be well. Thank you Michelle

Tara seams to really like her walks with Richie and I would recommend Richie wholeheartedly to walk your dog. He has walked our Airedale for several years and in this time he has been 100% reliable and trustworthy with keys. He understands our dog well and has a good bond with her, he never has let me down also he is very professional and fair to deal with and he loves dogs! I feel happy entrusting him with our dog.

I could recommend Richie to look after any dog. He is reliable, caring, honest and a real genuine guy. He can always help me when I require help even at short notice. My dog now knows Richie and is always very happy to trot off with him and even jumps into the van straight away. He has also stayed at their house and was very well looked after. Dogs are the best judges!!.

Thank you very much Ian for providing a good service: reliable, trustworthy and friendly. I was able to relax knowing that Tyke was in very good hands; he has enjoyed his walks with you--- he told me so! He took to you easily which is always a good sign. Doggies know best! I will highly recommend you to other dog owners.

Lorraine came to our rescue when Roy ruptured his Achilles tendon and was unable to walk Jack & Sam who are two lively Rough Collies who love their walks. We have received many positive comments from dog walking friends of how really friendly and professional Lorraine is. We also would like to emphasise how flexible Lorraine has been at responding to last minute walk requirements. We would recommend Lorraine to all dog owners as a professional caring animal lover.

I have Lorraine who comes Monday to Friday every week to walk Tyson. I rely on Lorraine for this as I can't walk him myself due to illness. My dog listens for her coming and enjoys the walks, he also gets to meet other dogs and learns to socialise with them. I have also found that if Tyson needs a visit to the vets Lorraine has been there to take him. Also due to hospital appointments and staying in hospital overnight Lorraine has kept Tyson overnight and brought him back the next day. Lorraine has my full trust concerning Tyson and his wellbeing and that is something I do know I have peace of mind with

Richie has been 100% reliable even on a rainy day! I have no hesitation in recommending him, I believe his security is well thought out (regarding keys etc) He is very safety conscious with Borris and he will definitely miss him!

I just wanted to say thank you so much to Ian for looking after my little George over the weekend, I don’t leave him usually because of his heart problem but you gave him his medication and looked after him in a most caring and efficient manner. I would certainly recommend you Ian as a most helpful and trustworthy person to any other dog owners who are going away and need to board their dogs with you.

I recently used the The DogWalker for my furry friend Bob’s stay, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. The service was fantastic, and I felt so at ease knowing that my dog was in such great care. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. They made the entire process so easy, from drop off to pick up. They were also very accommodating with my dog's specific needs. Overall, I highly recommend the The DogWalker. The service was exceptional, and I felt so comfortable leaving my furry friend in their care. If you're looking for a top-quality boarding for your dog's stay, look no further!

Richie is the best dog walker one could wish for. Reliable, trustworthy, friendly, animal lover and dog walker extraordinaire. During the time we lived in Boston Spa he walked Milo without fail come rain, shine, snow or hail. I honestly don't recall him missing a single day. Milo loves him to bits and we miss him now that we've moved. I wonder how we can tempt him to move down South?

From my perspective, Richie's flexiably is very helpful and he makes time to walk Olive even at the shortest notice, he has an excellent relationship with our dog and, to my knowledge has always been extremely kind towards her.

We didn't want to put our two greyhounds, Dolly and Marvyn, in kennels when we went on holiday so a member of the family came to house sit and we arranged for Lorraine to walk them. From the moment Lorraine met the dogs, we knew she'd be great with them. We are now looking forward to boarding them with Lorraine when we go away next time, because we know they'll be safe and happy. If you're looking for someone who loves dogs and knows how to work with them, Lorraine's the one!

The service is completely reliable and professional and I feel totally relaxed knowing my house keys are in safe hands. They are really flexible with dates and can accommodate last-min requests if you need to change arrangements at the last minute. I would highly recommend them to anyone who is looking for a dog walker or home boarding - it's a real joy to know your pet is in the safe hands of someone who so obviously loves dogs!

We're so pleased that we've found The Dogwalker for our labradoodle. It makes such a huge difference to us to be able to go to work knowing that Dodger is being well looked after and gives us peace of mind. Dodger is besotted with his new friend and loves going to stay for a mini holiday if we have to go away for the weekend as they also offer home boarding..
