I’m working from home, why do I need a dog walker?

This is a question that gets asked a lot, and rightly so but it’s important to remember that many dogs love a routine. Plus, with you working from home, your dog is relying on you for everything… interaction, socialisation, companionship the list is endless. With this constant reliance can come anxiety when you leave the room, pop to the shops which is more than likely to end in separation anxiety – Patter of Paws business owner, Laura had first-hand experience in this with her own dog, Spencer – Laura managed to turn this around in just a couple of months.

With Patter of Paws, a daily or even weekly routine can be maintained so your dog gains confidence when you’re not around. Your dog can interact and socialise with Patter of Paws and other dogs. Contact Laura at Patter of Paws, to find out more.

Mya

Laura walked Mya for us today and it was amazing! Laura is professional, organised, she planned ahead – Mya was exhausted after her walk and given she’s half Husky that’s not always easy to do! 100% recommended.

Arlo

Laura has been walking Arlo for a month now and she is just brilliant. Arlo is already coming on with his training and is starting to get better with his confidence and separation anxiety too. I would recommend Laura to anyone, and can’t wait to see how much more Arlo comes on over the next few months! just brilliant.

Ruby and Rita

Laura looked after our Border Terriers Rita and Ruby on our wedding day as part of her wedding chaperone service. Rita and Ruby were so well looked after and it was amazing to see them both escorted by Laura to our wedding reception. They were both clearly happy and settled with Laura as they were content to leave us to be with her. They also enjoyed their walks and cuddles with Laura from the pictures that were sent across. Both me and my husband could not recommend Laura enough. Thank you 🐾🐾
