Kate Rich walks Painswick's 'Diamond Dogs'
I'm crazy about dogs! As far as I'm concerned, they are all gems, hence the name of 'Diamond Dogs'.
I have a real rapport with dogs and my relationship with them is therapeutic and magical. They sense my love for them and they give it back tenfold.
I feel strongly that is is in your dog's best interest to have someone familiar enter your home. I will build a close relationship with your dog and they will spin with delight when I walk through the door.
Whilst walking and caring for Painswick's Diamond Dogs, I cherish them as if they are my own and with your detailed instructions, I look after them in the same way that you care for them yourself.
I walk and care for dogs that reside in the Painswick area so your dog will be on familiar territory and it is highly likely that they will meet lots of their regular chums whilst we are out and about.
I offer:
- Reliable and trustworthy dog walking/sitting service
- Quality, not quantity ethos, bespoke dog walking and sitting service
- One to one dog care if required
- Personal and tailored dog care service taking heed of your dog's specific requirements
- Bespoke dog walking/sitting service with thoughtful extra touches
- Beautiful walks in the Cotswolds including Painswick Beacon, Holcombe, Longridge and Frith Woods
- Respectful of your dog's character so walks and dog sitting are tailored accordingly
- Plenty of splashing about in Painswick stream on sunny days
- Puppy visits (This involves a lot of play and fuss, feeding if required and a Let-Out in the garden)
- Shorter walks available for puppies or elderly dogs
- Unhousetrained puppies and incontinent dogs not a problem for me!
- Dogs will not be left unattended for more than 3.5 hours
- Excessive loving and cuddling of your dog/s in your absence!
- Regular updates of your dog’s well being.
- References available.
Please do contact me to discuss any dog walking/sitting requirements that you may have. I will do my best to fit in with your plans and your dog's regular routines. I am fully insured and have a Canine First Aid Certificate.
Costs can vary but as a general guide, my rates are:
£13-£16 to walk 1 dog.
£17 -£20 to walk 2 dogs from the same family.
Approx £59 per 24 hours for dog sitting in your home (Approx £71 for 2) Weekends & Bank Holidays are subject to an additional cost
£10 per Let Out in the garden or 'Comfort Stop' walk & feed.
(Travel fee applies to all services outside of central Painswick if the car is required)
I pride myself on taking plenty of time with you and your dog to discuss your requirements to ensure every booking meets yours and their needs.
My shop is a regular drop-in center for the lovely dogs I walk. They know it is where I can be found and pull their owners in behind them! The fact that I keep a treat box in there probably helps!
I look forward to hearing from you.
