Statement of Care

🐾 Statement of Care

Bristol Dog‑Walking & Pet Support:

At the heart of my work is a simple promise: your dog is treated with the same care, respect, and attention I’d want for my own. Every walk, visit, and interaction is guided by safety, kindness, and a genuine commitment to your dog’s well-being.

I am MDWA-accredited and fully insured, with a limit of indemnity of £1,000,000.

My Approach:

  • Safety First: I follow clear, consistent protocols around equipment, group sizes, lead use, and route choices. I never take risks with roads, recall, or unfamiliar dogs.

  • Positive, Gentle Handling: I use reward‑based methods only—no force, fear, or punishment—ever.

  • Respect For Individuality: Every dog has their own pace, preferences, and personality. I adapt walks to suit their needs, whether that’s a slow, sniff‑heavy meander or a confidence‑building adventure.

  • Consistency & Reliability: You can count on punctuality, communication, and dependable routines. I know how much trust it takes to hand over your keys and your dog.

  • Cleanliness & Wellbeing: I ensure dogs return home settled, towelled if wet, and with fresh water. I monitor behaviour, energy levels, and any changes that might matter to you.

  • Community‑Minded Care: As a Bristol local, I prioritise routes that are safe, enriching, and respectful of shared spaces, wildlife, and other dog walkers.

What This Means for Your Dog:

Your dog will be supported, understood, and genuinely enjoyed. They’ll be walked with intention, not rushed. They’ll be spoken to kindly, handled gently, and given space to be themselves.
