REVIEWS
I’d recommend her to anyone.
‘Rachel is a fantastic dog-sitter and walker - I’ve never known anyone as naturally good with dogs! They all absolutely love her. She took great care of our last girl, a very nervous terrier, who I wouldn’t have left with anyone else. We now have an energetic adolescent hound who also adores Rachel. I'd recommend her to anyone.’

My dog adores being at Rachel’s...
‘Rachel is an excellent dog walker and boarder. Reliable and professional, she give my dog a variety of walks, at a good pace and has huge stamina.
As a boarder, well my dog adores being at Rachel’s which she considers her second home! That means that I can leave my dog with her and go away with complete confidence and peace of mind. Her services are invaluable to myself; my dog gets a change of scene, different routines and enrichment in addition to all the care and attention I could wish. Thank you’

I do not have words to describe how grateful we are...
‘I spent so long looking for the right person to look after her, and then I realised straight away she is passionate, caring and brilliant at what she does.
Our dog was a covid puppy, she was quite confident, happy dog, who totally worships all of Rachel’s family. She is always so excited when we drop her off for the day, or a longer stay, and we don’t even worry about her. I do not have the words to describe how grateful we are to have found Rachel and would not hesitate to recommend her’

Stanley is besotted…
‘My dog is not a good dog. He barks at children and other dogs and has recall skills comparable to a one-way flight. Take My Lead have near infinite patience for his flaws and demonstrate authenticity in their care for him. For all his faults I love him unconditionally, he reciprocates but, unfortunately, not to me. Take My Lead have been looking after him for over 3 years and he genuinely adores them. As much as this testimonial hurts my pride to write, Stanley is besotted. Due mostly to the incredible care and devotion they show to all animals. I grudgingly recommend them (grudgingly only for fear they will be in such demand that Stan may not get as much time with them). Reliable, trustworthy and flexible, I wholly and unreservedly recommend Take My Lead as a dog walker/care giver. ’

Look forward to continued stays…
‘My name is Wilma. I have been staying with Rachel for many weeks at a time during the last five years. I can’t wait to drag my folks to her door, whining on the way! She is my 2nd best human. Rachel sends photos and videos of me playing with her other dogs to my folks so they can see how happy I am. I’ve made so many new friends. Rachel is the best. X’

‘Roxy loved spending time with Take My Lead - they play lots of games and give her lots of attention, so much so, when we left in the car she cried all the way home - and when she got home was shattered and promptly fell asleep on our bed (where’s she not meant to be - but was snoring!)!’

Our usually practice is to offer a 1:1 service, however it is not a problem to have multiple dogs from the same family and on occasions where it is required/suitable, and dogs have been previously socialised together, multiple bookings are possible for dog walking and day care.
Please note all first-time bookings require a ‘meet and greet assessment’ with the dog prior to confirmation, we reserve the right to refuse your booking if we feel the dog is not suitable for the services we offer. We also ask for full up-to-date vaccination and worming/flea treatment records to be provided at time of first booking, and yearly after this.
Full payment is required at time of booking, which includes a 50% non-refundable deposit. For cancellations made with 2 week’s notice or more (with the exception of Dog Sitting which requires 6 week’s notice) a 50% refund will be issued.
