Casper with his dog

Who We Are

We’re a local, West Hove dog walking and pet care team specialising in small-group walks and at-home care. We love dogs, and we know that every dog has their own personality and needs. Our calm, attentive approach helps your pet feel safe, settled and cared for, just as they would at home.

Meet Caspar

I grew up on a farm in Suffolk and have spent more than 18 years caring for animals - including dogs, cats, horses, rabbits, chickens and even the occasional lizard or peacock.Alongside this, I’ve built extensive hands‑on experience walking and caring for dogs for many years, supporting everything from energetic puppies to gentle senior companions.I take a calm, patient and reassuring approach to care, focusing on small groups, clear communication and building trust with every dog I look after.

1-Hour Solo Walks (Mon–Thu)

Relaxed, one-to-one 1-hour solo walks, available Monday to Thursday for dogs who prefer individual attention or quieter outings.

Overnight Care / Boarding

We offer overnight care from our home in West Hove, providing your dog with the same comfort, routine and personal attention they’re used to at home.
