Life’s a beach…

Life’s a beach…
ith years of experience under her belt, Valerie Felton reckons she’s as much a dog whisperer as she is a dog walker.
Which may explain why the town’s mutts tend to get more than a little excited when they see her coming to pick them up.
“We go for safe walks in the hills, on the beach or in the local woods,” says Val. “Again, that depends on the weather, but we also like to mix it up for the dogs themselves.
“We have fresh water bowls, and we bring treats too…”

From Tanya Cawley…
I have been using Valerie to walk my one year old Cavapoo, Winnie, since the beginning of this year.
Valerie has now become an important part of our team! She truly is a dog whisperer. She walks Winnie alongside other dogs, which has been fantastic for her socialisation and confidence.
Valerie is kind, gentle, and firm with Winnie, and she has a real understanding of dogs and their behaviour. The biggest proof of that is Winnie’s reaction whenever Valerie arrives to collect her from the office, she gets so excited because she knows she’s about to head off on an adventure!
I trust Valerie completely, not only to care for Winnie but also because she genuinely cares about the dogs she works with. That level of trust and dedication is incredibly difficult to find these days.
I couldn’t recommend Valerie highly enough to anyone looking for someone who will treat their dog with the same care, patience, and affection as if they were her own.
Kind Regards,
Tanya

She’s looked after our dog for the last 4 years anytime we’ve been away on holiday. Last year she took her for 5 weeks while we took a longer trip to New Zealand. Xena is always very excited getting out of the car when we reach Valerie’s house. She’s very well cared for and Valerie sends regular video updates from the daily walks. Valerie usually takes similar size dogs which is great for sociability.
It’s a lovely home en
