A Pawfect Time - Dog Walking & Pet Visits

A Pawfect Time - Dog Walking & Pet Visits Reliable and caring dog walking and pet visits. Fully insured, DBS checked and Canine First Aid. I'm always happy to answer and in a timely manner.

Hi, I'm Zeta and from a small child until now, I've always had a passion for animals, nature and the great outdoors. In fact, I cannot remember a time where animals haven't been a part of my life. Because of that, it's what makes my job so enjoyable and rewarding. Being outdoors in the fresh air, seeing happy dogs, hearing happy clients and getting to watch some dog's journey of progress with you.

.. you cannot put a price on that. Every dog is different and they all have different needs and characters which makes catering to these differences very important to me. Each and every dog should be comfortable when out walking, whether they like playing with others, just having a good sniff or feeling at ease if they're a little nervous. I strive to keep walks fun so not only do I walk dogs, I also spend time interacting with them, so if you happen to come across what might look like a mad lady running around with dogs, making silly sounds and having "funsies", don't worry, it's likely just me goofing around with my "Pawfect" gang. I offer a range of services that include group and solo dog walking and also short pet visits/drop ins. All these can be found under Services on my page so feel free to have a look at them and their pricing. You can also view Recommendations by others that have/use my services. Lastly, please feel free to drop me a message if you have any questions, be it big or small.

A warm welcome to this gorgeous girl, Missy, the Husky mix that has joined us for solo walks. Missy absolutely nailed her first walk (apart from rolling in stinky fox poo because what's a first walk without keeping your new dog walker on their toes 😅). We both had a lovely walk together with great interaction throughout. Well done, girl! 😃 🐾

Winter walkies with the Pawfect crew! Honestly, we've had some rather rubbish days weather wise. Some of the dogs have been "Oh hell yeah bring it on!", while some others have been more of a "Why, why must we endure this?!". But we've tried to have fun regardless while also stopping to huddle over some dogs like an umbrella to take the brunt of nasty hail and what have you 😅 But hey, spring will be here before you know it, right? Right? 🤔

And we're now officially off until January 2nd! We just want to say a massive, massive thank you to all our lovely clients for their wonderful Christmas gifts. We have been showered with such generosity and while it's never needed, we're entirely grateful and feel rather spoilt.

So from Zeta, Nyssa, Sonny and Kala, we hope you all have a truly lovely Christmas and a fantastic New Year. See you all soon! 🌲❄️ ❤️

The Pawfect crew! How could you not love these beautiful pups and kitties? We've all enjoyed some lovely walks. Also, a warm welcome to Milly the Beagle that has joined us for walkies. She's such a lovely girl.

16/09/2024

Whew! Finally a post from us! June, July and August have been very busy months for us, so we do apologise for the lack of posts. Just trust that we have been working hard taking care of your lovely pets.

And in all the craziness, everyone's favourite Daxie came back to us in August after spending 6 months in London. We're all delighted to have him part of the crew again!

Things are starting to return to normal now so here's a post of some wonderful pups, kitties and friends 🥰

01/07/2024

The Pawfect crew slaying their summer walks! For the most part it's been a fairly mild summer which we're all very much loving. We've had a few days where it's been a bit on the hot side, but as per usual we always follow our hot days protocol. Nothing too bad yet to cancel walks, but of course summer isn't over yet so who knows what could be around the corner.

We've also welcomed Charlie and Sophie that have started with solo walks. Charlie has super enjoyed his walks thus far and is doing really well. And dear Sophie, a rescue that is scared of just about everything is slowly slowly starting to make some progress with being outside ❤️

Then there's the awesome news that Davy the well loved Standard Daxie will be back in town in August!

Things are increasingly getting busier and busier for us as we get further into summer. Lots of dog walking, pet visits and overnight sits so I regret to say we can't really fit any more pet visits/sitting in during the summer and unfortunately we only offer pet sitting for existing clients where their dog walks with us regularly 🐾 🐕‍🦺

06/06/2024

We're finally in the summer months and while we haven't had any troubling days of the weather being too hot, we'd just like to put out our hot weather protocol and how walks will be tackled for when those days do arrive.

🚗 Transportation To & From Walks

1. Our van is fitted with solar powered air ventilation.

2. All crates and free areas have cooling mats.

3. We have fans clipped on to crates with sufficient air flow.

🐕 Dog Walking

When days start to get warmer, any of the following (or a combination) will be implemented.

1. Dog walks will only be done in shady areas which most likely will be in the woods where there is also running water to have a paddle and a good slurp. Alternatively, this could also be a gentle lead walk around some cool and shady country lanes for the overactive dogs.

2. We always carry water with us in a non plastic flask so that the water is nice and cool for the dogs to drink.

3. Walks could be cut down to around 40-45 minutes depending on how warm it is and we will look to keep exertion levels low. What this means is that if a dog is a particularly active dog and likes running around a lot, we may have to walk them on a lead for a bit so that they don't overdo things.

4. Walks may be brought forward and thus start earlier to avoid the hotter parts of the day.

5. If any days start to look like they're going to reach some very high temperatures, then in the best interest of the dogs, late morning/early afternoon walks will be cancelled, but a pop in service will be offered for those that are not home instead (garden time, play, toilet break and general fuss). Pop-ins are around 30 mins and charged at a rate of £10. We will contact you the day before to inform you of this and check what you'd like us to do.

It's important to remember that not all dogs are the same. Some dogs handle warmer weather better than others and there are many factors that come into play regarding how much a specific dog will be affected. For example: big dogs, young pups, elderly dogs, double coated dogs, black dogs, brachycephalic dogs, obese dogs etc

We know that some of the above things may not be ideal for some people, but we just ask you to bear with us and trust that we have your pups best interest at heart. And if we do have to cancel any walks due to extreme heat, please know that it's because we care. Cancellations also affect our income, but at the end of the day, we only want the dogs in our care to be safe and comfortable and that must come before anything else.

We really do have the best bunch of doggies and cats 😍 Another week done and much zooming, sniffing, rolling, sloshing and cuddling has been had!

On another note, we'd just like to take the time to say a really big thank you for all the recommendations, the chocolates, the wines, the flowers, the walking gear etc! We're just doing our jobs, but you guys are ever so kind and we're entirely grateful for such generousity ❤️

A big Happy Birthday shout-out to big boy Jet that is 1 years old today! Jet doesn't walk with us on Fridays, but how could we not give him a birthday walk and a present?! He had the best time running around and playing and I'm utterly convinced he will be spoilt rotten. Here's to many more fun birthdays ahead, Jet! 🐾

16/05/2024

Harley and Mango met their other walking group yesterday and much fun was had! Everyone was actually calmer during the video 😅

10/05/2024

Double trouble? Nah! But double fun! A warm welcome to two new girls Harley the Frenchie X Pug and Mango the Cockapoo that apparently forgot to take on any of the poodle 😅 Both girls did amazing on their first walk and much fun was had by all!

Bluebell the Silver Labrador did much better today getting into the van. Yay Bluebell!

It's been a really nice few days of dry weather and while we're not there yet with those really high temps, as usual we're already making sure all dogs are comfortable.

In other news, I actually didn't realise there was a posting limit of photos, so if there's not as many photos of your pups, it's because of that and I do apologise. I'll look out for that in the future 🤦‍♀️

Have a great weekend all! ❤️ 🐾

19/04/2024

And who's this pretty girl? A warm welcome to Bluebell, the Silver Labrador! Bluebell has now joined the Pawfect crew for regular walkies. Although she was a bit reluctant to get into the van at first (which is totally understandable), she absolutely nailed her first walk today! Great recall and loved a bit of fuss from us. One happy dog indeed! The only downside? I might have got accidentally whacked a few times with that big stick she was carrying 😂

15/04/2024

Who's this handsome lad? 😀 A very warm welcome to the Pawfect crew to Jet, the young Silver Labrador! Jet had his first walkies with us today and pawsitivly loved it! His introduction to his new walking group went great and much running around was had. Unfortunately he didn't get to meet Clover as she's on holiday, but that's something to look forward to next time. Well done Jet! 🐾

09/04/2024

What a lovely, if not a bit windy day! As much as we love the outdoors, I think we're just a little bit over the wet weather and dare I say so are some of the dogs 😅 Of course, Spaniels, Retrievers and the like never care about the rain and the mud! Tomorrow is looking grim mind you, but I think we're in for a nice period even if just for a short while 🤞

In other news, we've done a few pet visits (unfortunately I don't have photos of all of these), and we've now had air ventilation installed in the van (a big thanks to Wild About Walkies) in readiness for the ever elusive late spring and summer weather 🐾

03/04/2024

Due to some people cutting back on hours and/or moving away, I've now had some spaces open up for regular dog walking! Unfortunately I regret that I'm not able to offer any ad hoc walks as this causes too many issues with future scheduling.
The following days/times are for group walks. We do offer solo walks, but the times for these either have to be around 8am or 2:30pm.

Days and time slots (the time range of when a dog will be picked up) are available:

MORNINGS - 10/11AM
- Fridays

AFTERNOONS - 12/1PM
- Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays

Terriers being terriers! Wait for the SNORT 😂

02/03/2024

A little late, but a very warm welcome to Gucci the Poodle X and Digger the Cocker. Another two handsome lads join the crew! 😀

We've also had the pleasure of doing quite a few cat visits lately as well.

Lots of lovely walkies have been had although we must confess that we're just a little bit over the constant rain and mud now! Here's to hoping for a drier spring. Maybe 😅
