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 long overdue post indeed! Many apologies for not having any over the last couple of months. Life has been chaotic. I'm still very much around, walking wonderful dogs, visiting lovely animals and working hard. I'd actually say I've been working harder than I ever have lately 😅

You may notice that the photos in this post distinctly lack the kind of group doggy photos that I'd usually post. That's because a lot has changed and I made the big decision to switch from group dog walking to solo and multiple dog household walking. It was an extremely hard decision to come to, but ultimately it was the right decision for me at this time of my life for various reasons.

Of course that major decision came with some difficulties. Namely having to let some dogs go that I absolutely loved simply because there's just not enough hours in the day to walk all the dogs we had. There were quite a few tears, but everyone was so supportive (thank you for the cards, flowers, chocolates etc!) and I cannot thank people enough for allowing me to be a part of their dogs lives.

As for solo walking, I can already see the positive impact from having one to one time with some dogs which is an amazing confirmation that ultimately, I made the right decision.

So here they all are, the Pawfect pups, kitties, guinea piggies and bunnies! ❤️

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 🥰

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 🐾 🐕‍🦺

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! 🐾

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! ❤️ 🐾
