Clair was an outstanding carer for our fluffy and feathered friends while we were away. She went above and beyond to make sure they were happy and healthy during her visits, sent us update pics, and came on New Year’s Day with an ice pack for a very hot bunny! Super friendly and reliable- thanks a bunch Clair!

Harry loves going on his play dates. He waits patiently for the van to arrive! He comes back with expended energy which is a blessing for us as he is such an active dog!

A big shout out to Clare for taking in my two lovable but boisterous German shorthaired pointers. They have a fantastic time each week. One of them is still puppy with still alot to learn but you knew what you were taking on and we couldn't thank you enough. You are firm but friendly and they know you are the boss and that's all we ask. Keep doing what you do. xx

Clair is great with our dog. Layla loves her days out with Clare and her four legged friends. 4 Dogs Walking is very professional and we trust them 100% with our puppy.
