Good morning team

In the process of changing my number. If you have any problems contacting me it should hopefully be resolved soon. Thank you for your patience and I’ll update all clients with number when it changes

Hey client team

Please bear with me this week I am totally floored with the flu thing that’s doing the rounds. Things are taking me a wee bit longer so times for walks are a bit off. Hopefully I can chill over the weekend and get rid of it

Just a wee (or rather large!) slideshow of some of the wonderful dogs we’ve had the pleasure of walking over the past year.
We hope you all had a lovely Christmas, and we wish you a fantastic New Year when it comes. We’re looking forward to seeing all the dogs who are still with us — and of course seeing you — in 2026.
All our love and best wishes,
Steven, Scott & the Collies

Based on weather forecast around temperatures for the next two days decisions may have to be made on how appropriate it is to walk the dogs. I will keep individual clients updated any worries feel free to get in touch

Good morning,

All walks are currently still going ahead as planned today. We’re keeping a close eye on Storm Floris, which may cause some disruption to roads and traffic. If that happens, we might run slightly behind schedule.

At the moment, the weather doesn’t appear too concerning, but as we all know, conditions can change quickly. Should any major changes occur—such as cancellations—I will contact affected clients directly.

Thank you for your understanding,
Steven

Let me know if you’d like a more casual or formal tone.
