DOG SITTING
Your dog and your home perfectly looked after.
Clean & tidy. Non-intrusive. Reliable. Trustworthy. Respectful.
Available to all of our registered clients only.
For the duration of me looking after your dog/s they will join the Spot On team during the week days for adventures every single day. This will consist of at least 1 2-hour adventure and 1 1-hour adventure.
Weekends tend to be slightly different and extra special as we don’t have to follow a specific schedule for the day… weekend adventures consist of: early morning sunrise 2/3 hour adventures in the countryside, butchers meat bones (if allowed), dedicated and monitored play time, dedicated and well needed sleep time and snuggles (highly important that the dogs in my care get the appropriate amount of sleep to avoid over-stimulation) plenty of 1-on-1 time and cuddle time.
Any specific chores or errands that need taken care of, will be. This can include, bins, post, specific routines you follow within the home, garden/plant watering etc. This can all be discussed during the time of booking. We will also discuss how frequently or how little you would like to be updated during this stage.
Equipment, food and any essentials I need are brought with me so you don’t need to worry about providing a single thing.
I am a non-intrusive, very tidy, polite and honest guest and will follow any specific rules required.
I believe that someone’s home is their greatest treasure and therefore it is my job to ensure that it is looked after with great care, just as well as the dogs are.
About
Are you looking for beneficial, interactive, structured 5* care for your dog?
The mission here is to provide an exceptional service for not only your dog(s), but for you as a client, to enable a long-term, strong, professional relationship, making your every day life easier.
As a compassionate animal lover from a very young age, but suffering from severe allergies to almost all animals (including dogs), it was a tricky mission to safely work within the world of animals at first. Clearly that didn’t stop me and luckily, fought those allergies off through many years and a fair few hospital visits.
I have also been lucky enough to have embarked on an incredible travelling journey back in 2015 around South East Asia and Australia, where I spent much of my time volunteering in dog shelters and cancelling the next night bus to stay at the current hostel to take care of the stray dogs and their newly born pups. So coming back to the UK, meant I had more clarity, a better perspective and the confidence to start laying the pathway of what I wanted to do and that’s where the initial ideas of how I wanted a dog walking business to look like, started.
Being a huge lover of the great outdoors, all things nature and outdoor activity, it made sense to have my own companion to join in on my own adventures. So, along came Pie (my Dalmatian and the reason why the business got it’s name and logo)! I knew at this point I needed to offer a service to other owners, that I would whole-heartedly use for him.
So after plenty of experience with working with many different breeds and personalities, establishing the exact methods and services I didn’t want to use or offer, working hard to study dog behaviours and communication, a great deal of research, studying what worked well for my high-energy boy and plucking up the courage to offer something unique – here we are, a 5 x award-winning business – Spot On Dog Walks & Adventures, which has been featured in our local newspaper The Hemel Gazette a number of times and on BBC Three Counties Radio for a morning interview about... you guessed it - all things dogs.

You can expect a friendly, genuine and honest service, someone who cares as much as you do about your pet and the main priority always being the happiness and safety of each individual dog.
