Client Testimonials

“We absolutely adore Jess (as does our boisterous springer spaniel, Alfie). We started working with her when Alfie was just a puppy, and we were really struggling with things like toilet training, lead walking, recall, etc. She was so knowledgeable and instantly made us feel that we had an expert partner who we could trust to help us navigate Alfie’s early months. Since then, she has consistently been a resource on all things dog and a walker for our energetic pup. She cares so deeply about her clients and truly feels like a friend at this point. We are constantly giving out her name and number to people in the park who can’t believe how well trained our dog is. In short, we highly recommend Jess!”
Ally

Typically, the manner in which we gauge Jake, our rescue dog’s relationship with people with whom he has regular contact, is in his immediate response on first seeing them.

When Jessica arrives at our house, he instantly rushes up to her, jumping up and down with excitement, whereas with most other dog walkers he is initially shy and wary. Jess is consistently reliable and never overbooks so you know your dog is in good hands. I can relax knowing Jake is in good hands!

Some Dog-Walkers do the job to make an income; with Jess, it is undoubtedly a vocation and not a merely a means to earn a living.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many dogs do you walk?

I walk a maximum of 4 dogs at a time. This is to ensure that each dog is provided the due care and attention they need.

Are you insured?

Yes, I have public liability and van insurance.

How do I pay?
Invoices are sent out once a month. All payment should be by BACS and be received within 7 days of the invoice date.
Are dogs walked off the lead?

Yes, provided I have been given permission by the owner and the dog has reliable recall.

Will you walk a bitch while she is in season?
No, I do not walk bitches in season as this can cause other dogs to become overexcited.
Do you walk unneutered males?
Unfortunately, I do not take full males. This is for the safety of themselves and the rest of the pack, as some dogs do not take well to their presence. Under certain circumstances I will accept chemically castrated males.
How do you collect my dog from my property?
Pick up and drop off is included in the walks and, with your authorisation, I would use a key provided if nobody is at home. Please always inform me of any special requirements, e.g. if the dog has a specific room of their own or if they have use of the whole house.
What Is Your Cancellation Policy?
I request 24 hours’ notice so that no charges will apply. I do understand that in some unforeseen circumstance this may not be possible so each case will be judged on merit.
Do you walk in all weather?
You will find me out with the dogs in all weather conditions provided that it is not dangerous for the dogs.
Do you offer daycare?
If you require daycare this is something I can provide. However, spaces are limited and depend on availability. Feel free to contact me for further information.
Are you licensed to board?

Yes, I have a boarding licence provided by Lewes council.

How many dogs do you board at a time?

The maximum number of dogs I’ll board at one time is four, provided they get along. All dogs will have a trial meeting before any boarding starts to ensure there are no issues.

Do you provide dog beds, and do you crate dogs?
I do have dog beds that I can provide, however, if you’d like your dog to sleep in their own bed, please feel free to pack it along with their other comfort items. I do not crate dogs unless specified by the owner.
Do you provide food for my dog?

Ideally, I would prefer the dog to stay on their regular food so I will ask for enough food to last the dogs stay. However, if it runs out or you’re unable to provide food, please let me know the brand and I will purchase it myself and the cost will be reflected in the boarding invoice.
