Dog visits and walks

Not every dog wants a day at day care or a week in kennels. An older dog, a nervous one, or one who simply likes its own bed does better at home with a visit in the middle of the day, a walk, a feed and someone to lean on for half an hour.

The thirty-minute visit is a lead on, a walk round the block or down to the park, a feed if it is due, water changed, a check the garden gate is shut and ten minutes of fuss. The hour is the same with a real walk: the seafront, the Dingle, Cosmeston by van, or Lavernock for a dog that wants the fields. Mark does most of the dog round and takes the same dogs the same days, so the dog knows who is coming.

For a dog that cannot be left all day we do two visits, or one visit and an overnight. We do not do group walks; a dog on a visit walks alone or with its housemate. We will tell you honestly if a dog is not coping at home and would be better boarded, and we know people we trust.

• Fed, water changed, the garden checked
• The same sitter, the same days
