The Paw Pad - Plymouth

The Paw Pad - Plymouth Animal lover since childhood, with 20+ years caring for my clients and my own pets. For over 30 years, I’ve shared my life with some amazing pets.

Experienced with dogs, cats & rescue animals during my time volunteering in Spain, including traumatised pets needing extra patience and care. 🐾 Where it all began…

According to my mum, my love for animals was clear from day one! ❤️ Growing up, we shared our home with dogs and cats — each one bringing their own fun, love, and a few muddy paw prints along the way. It all started with my two beauti

ful Persians, Mowgli and Baloo, who were with me for 16 wonderful years. Then came along cheeky little Alfie, who stayed by my side until 2021. These days it’s just me and my dear Molly, who I adopted while volunteering at adog rescue centre in Spain back in 2012. She’s almost 17 now and spends most of her days snoozing. During my 10 years volunteering in Spain, I fostered many rescue dogs and helped them find their forever homes. I have a soft spot (and lots of experience) for caring for traumatised or nervous animals who need extra patience, love, and understanding. 💕

I am available to care for your furry friends — right in the comfort of their home — across Devon & Cornwall.

A challenging week with a healthy dose of canine family drama!

Waffle is a Collie/Staffy/Shar-Pei cross who somehow ended up looking like a slim Labrador. Genetics clearly had a meeting and decided to keep us all guessing!

One of this week's adventures involved Waffle meeting her sister Luna, who lives with their Dad (the Collie in the origiinal mix) Unfortunately, the reunion wasn't quite the heartwarming family movie moment we'd hoped for. Waffle's Dad wasn't exactly rolling out the red carpet and made it very clear that his other daughter, Luna was under his protection.

To be fair, he was probably just doing his job as Head of Security and Chief Protector of Waffle's little sister. 🚨🐶

Despite the family politics, Waffle took everything in her stride. It was fun helping her navigate the ups, downs, and occasional soap-opera moments of dog life.

Well done, Waffle—you've earned a well-deserved nap and probably your own reality TV series. ❤️

Introducing Nellie, aka Numpty… well in my world anyway!

What a character she is! We had the best time together over a long weekend full of fun and laughs. Safe to say she kept me entertained every step of the way.

Sorry there were no updates yesterday from me at Tenerife Animal Sanctuary, took a much-needed day off 🙌

One of the long-term volunteers dropped us into a nearby town, El Medina. Not much sun (standard for me whenever I travel lately 😅).

Couldn't work today. Spent the night before dealing with some stomach issues and hardly had any sleep. So was in quarantine all day just in case it’s a virus. Honestly, I’m blaming a dodgy prawn from yesterday’s paella 🤢 didn’t taste right at all.

Silver lining: the sun was finally out ☀️ and I had time to start my Cesar Milan book Will make up the time tomorrow...
