Hi everyone! I’m Skye, and I’m so excited to introduce myself as the new owner of Coastal Paws💚

I’ve officially taken over the business and I’m incredibly excited to continue providing loving, reliable and trusted care for your four-legged family members across Southwold and surrounding areas.

I know how important it is to feel completely comfortable leaving your pets in someone else’s care. Whether you’re at work, away for the day, going on holiday or simply need an extra pair of hands, I want you to have that peace of mind knowing your pets are safe, happy and getting plenty of love and attention while you’re away. 🥰

For me, caring for your pets is about so much more than simply walking them. I want every dog (and every other pet!) to feel safe, happy, loved and cared for while you’re away. 🐶🐾

I’m so excited to meet all of the amazing pets already part of the Coastal Paws family, and I can’t wait to make lots of new furry (and feathered! 🐔🦜) friends along the way!

Here’s to lots of muddy paws, waggy tails, happy pets and plenty of adventures! 🌿🐕💚

🐾 A new chapter for Coastal Paws… 🐾

I have some very exciting news to share with you all...please give the biggest, warmest Coastal Paws welcome to Skye Morgan Boulton! ❤️

After lots of thought about what the next chapter looks like for me, I've decided that it's time to hand over the reins of Coastal Paws to someone who has the time, energy and enthusiasm to give it the love it deserves.

Skye is just starting out on her journey in dog walking and pet care, and sometimes all someone needs is for another person to take a chance on them. So rather than letting something I've built and loved simply fade away, it felt much nicer to pass it on and give someone else the opportunity to make it grow.

🥹

Skye will now be taking over Coastal Paws, getting to know all of you and, most importantly, your four-legged lunatics. 🐶😂

I'm not vanishing completely! I'll still be here quietly in the background while she finds her feet, helping, answering questions and making sure the handover is as smooth as possible.

To everyone who has trusted me with their dogs, recommended Coastal Paws, shared posts, supported the business and helped turn a little idea into something real... thank you. ❤️

Now I'd love you to show Skye the same kindness and support you've always shown me. Give her a huge welcome, say hello, and please continue to support this lovely little local business as it enters its next chapter.

Welcome to the Coastal Paws family, Skye. 🐾❤️

I can't wait to see what you do with it.

🌊 A little update from Coastal Paws 🌊

Over the last few months, Coastal Paws has grown far more quickly than I ever expected. I've met some wonderful people, cared for some incredible dogs, and learned a huge amount along the way.

As many of you know, I started this business to create work that fit around my family life. Somewhere along the line, I found myself saying yes to everything... travelling further afield, taking on last-minute bookings, working evenings and weekends, and trying to be available to everyone.

After a lot of reflection, I've decided it's time to bring Coastal Paws back to what it was always meant to be.

Going forward:

🐾 I will be working during my childcare hours only.

🐾 My service area will be focused on Southwold, Reydon and the immediate surrounding villages.

🐾 I will be prioritising regular, ongoing clients.

🐾 I will no longer be offering one-off or ad-hoc walks.

🐾 I will not be taking bookings outside of my available working hours.

This isn't about doing less. It's about doing what I do well, sustainably, and ensuring I can continue providing the level of care and attention that every dog deserves.

To all of my existing clients, thank you for your support, kindness and trust. It means more than you know.

Here's to calmer days, wagging tails, and finding the right balance. ❤️

🐾 Coastal Paws Update 🐾

Over the past few weeks I've been exploring some exciting opportunities for Coastal Paws and looking at ways to expand the services I can offer.

After careful consideration, I've decided to pause those plans for now and focus on what Coastal Paws does best...providing the personal, professional and reliable pet care that my clients know and trust. 🤍

As a result, some services and availability may look a little different over the coming weeks while I reorganise things behind the scenes. Existing bookings and commitments will continue as normal, and I will be reopening availability gradually as I restructure.

Thank you to everyone who has supported Coastal Paws on this journey so far. Sometimes the right decision isn't the biggest decision... it's taking a step back, reassessing, and making sure the foundations are right before moving forward.

Coastal Paws isn't going anywhere. In fact, this gives me the opportunity to focus on the parts of the business I love most and continue building something special for both dogs and their humans. 🐶🤍

Thank you for your patience and support.
