Walking is classed as a form of steady state cardio, an excellent form of light exercise that can be done by the majority of people of all ages
“I first met James in September when he visited me and my dog Lucy, with the aim to James being able to take Lucy out twice a week for a really good run and the exercise needed for my energetic, young, Border Collie. I had recently sustained an injury to my leg whilst at work and was unable to walk the distance my dog needed to keep her fit and happy, so I phoned James. James is a confident and knowledgeable, physically fit young man who has a great love of dogs. My dog Lucy took to him straight away and developed a trusting relationship with him and also myself. James is confident with his dogs, he takes them on one to one walks before a new dog joins his pack, he also caters for individual requirements. James has been using a whistle and my dog is learning to respond. My dog is very energetic and hard to control on the lead. By going out with James she has become more confident and happy because of the different walks and places he takes her, this has made her much easier to handle. I’m happy that my dog is safe when with James.“ Jackie (Lucy’s owner)
"Being a wife, a mother to 4 children and the owner of three dogs, I have a real understanding of how sometimes life can be very hectic with a feeling that you can't quite fit it all in. Let me help you out with that!"
Animals have always been a huge part of my love for life and my family. I have always wanted to have my own business doing something I love and enjoy greatly. Let me tell you that it is the best decision I have ever made and I hope my website helps to inspire you to do the same.
"I first reached out to Sarah about 6 months ago now, being tired of my regular 9-5 office job, I decided it was time to take a leap of faith and do something that is going to make me happy. 100% the right decision"
I work as one of the main dog walkers at Up Pup and Away. I very much love the outdoors and take lots of pictures, with the dog owners permission, which then can be shared for no extra charge, which has become very popular indeed.
