About Me/ Company

Paws for Success aims to provide effective methods of positive training for dog owners, at the same time as promoting dog responsibility and care. Paws for Success teaches owners how to understand their dog from a canine point of view, and how to improve and establish good behaviour within your dog.


Paws for Success aims to educate both owner and dog, in order to produce the best possible relationship between them. Using effective body language, leadership and thinking like a canine, dog owners help to create a well-behaved and contented dog. All the training is simple and easy-to-do.


When you go away on holiday the last thing you need to be stressed about is whether your dog will be okay whilst you are gone. I come and stay in your house, meaning your dog is calmer and happier as they are in surroundings they are used to. I can start any time of day or night to fit in with your travel plans and will stick to your dog's normal routine as closely as possible.

I offer long stays, or single nights if you are just wanting a break for a family wedding, or even a night out with friends. You can be assured that your dog's every need will be catered for with regular walks, playtime and mealtimes.

I am fully insured for pet sitting and have a base of regular clients who are happy to provide references. I have experience of looking after dogs, cats, rodents, tortoises, birds, rabbits, chickens and horses.

Please contact me to see if I have any vacancies in the diary to assist you. Please be aware that I am often booked up in advance, especially over the school holidays so make sure you get your booking in soon!

Pet sitting starts at just £25 per day for up to three dogs.
