What a lovely review from Piper's dad. Thank you so much Duncan!

We love your wee Piper. ♥️🐾

Piper had a wonderful stay recently with Claire & Nicola while we were on holiday for a week. We were so reassured that she was happy and received little pics and updates every day on how Piper was doing. Can’t recommend Steps & Stays enough. Great service.

🎉 And we're back! 🐾

We have had a relaxing few days off—complete with a cinema trip, eating out, and some exploring with our own dogs. It was just what we needed! ❤️

We are now recharged and ready to dive into a busy summer season. Even Barbara and Alfie are rested, raring to go, and ready to welcome their friends back! 🐶

We will be right here walking and caring for your dogs all the way through until September (when we take our next holiday). ☀️🐕

We have missed all our regulars so much and we cannot wait to see your furry friends tomorrow! 🥰

A gentle reminder to all our lovely clients that Nic and I are officially on holiday starting tomorrow (Friday), and we will be back to work on Thursday the 4th of June.

To make sure we completely switch off, we won't be checking or answering messages and calls while we are away. Rest assured, we will get back to everyone as soon as possible upon our return!

Thank you so much for understanding and we can't wait to see your furry friends when we're back! 🥰🐾

Big news from behind the scenes at Steps & Stays! 🐾

For the last 3 years, Nic and I (Claire) have been so incredibly grateful for the trust you’ve placed in us to walk, board, and care for your beloved four-legged family members. We love what we do every single day, but we are always looking for ways to bring even more value to our amazing community.

To kickstart an exciting new chapter for our business, I took a step forward last week and attended the IMDT (Institute of Modern Dog Trainers) 2-Day Career as a Dog Trainer course! 🚀

It was an incredible couple of days deep-diving into modern, science-based methods, dog body language, how dogs learn, and understanding their natural instincts. 🧠🐶

Watch this space for some future exciting updates! 🌟

Welcome back, Poppy! 🐾

We currently have the absolute pleasure of walking Poppy again while her parents are away on holiday. She’s staying with her grandma in Culross at the moment, and just like her holiday last year, she has fitted back into the pack beautifully! 🐾

Poppy is a stunning black labrador. She is a massive fan of water and will find any given opportunity to get wet and splash around! 💦

She also absolutely loves playing with the smaller dogs. It has been such a joy welcoming her back, seeing how quickly she remembered us, and watching her confident, playful personality completely shine all over again. 🥰

Holiday mode: ON for Layla! 🐾

The lovely Layla has been with us for a couple of days now on her holidays, and she is an absolute delight to have around! 🐶

As a regular on our adventure walks, we already know and love Layla well, but having her move in for a sleepover is always a treat. She has that classic spaniel "on/off" switch down to a fine art.

Outside, she’s got boundless energy, zig-zagging through the trails and happily splashing in every single muddy puddle or stream she can find. 💦

But once she's indoors, she turns into the ultimate cuddle monster, perfectly content snoring right next to you on the sofa and soaking up all the scratches. 💤

We have this sweet girl until Wednesday next week, and she’s already having the best time keeping up with the daily pack walks! 🥰

The "Explorer's Kit" 🌲🔔

For the adventurers who love to follow their noses, we make sure they have the freedom to be dogs while staying 100% safe.

Whether we are in the woods or up in the hills, our tracker and bells mean we always know exactly where the pack is. It’s all about letting your dogs explore with total peace of mind! 🐾

Friday Adventure Mode: Activated! 🌲⛰️💦

This is what our Friday Adventure Walks at Steps And Stays are all about!

I (Claire) take a small pack of three dogs out for a full 2-hour walk, and I put a lot of thought into these groups. I usually pair two "players" with one independent dog to ensure everyone feels included and gets the absolute best out of their time. 🐾

Safety is always the priority. I adapt our locations to the weather and the group dynamics, only visiting areas I’ve explored on my own first to ensure they are 100% dog-friendly! 🐕

I’m often told that I am the human equivalent of a springer spaniel, and your dogs have officially adopted me into their pack. It is such a joy every week! ✨
