Our Approach
Tailored Pet Care: Where Every Paw print Tells a Unique Story
At Whistle & Stride we understand that every dog is a unique individual with their own set of needs, quirks, and preferences. That's why we take a personalised approach to dog walking and pet care, ensuring that your furry friend receives the attention and care they deserve.
Our Customised Care Process: Before welcoming a new dog client into our pack, we conduct a detailed assessment and familiarisation visit at the client's home. This allows us to not only learn about your dog but also to get to know you, the client. We believe that building a strong understanding of your pet's personality and your expectations is the cornerstone of providing exceptional care.
Tailored Care Plans: Working collaboratively with you, we develop a customised care plan that aligns with your dog's unique needs and preferences. Whether it's a specific walking route, playtime activities, or dietary considerations, we tailor our services to ensure your furry friend's happiness and well-being.
Crucial Assessment for Harmony: Our commitment to your pet's comfort extends to our unique approach in assessing dogs of similar temperaments. Conducted during familiarisation visits, this crucial step ensures that our group walks are harmonious and enjoyable for every furry participant.
Accreditations and Assurance: We take pride in being accredited by the National Association for Pet Sitters & Dog Walkers, showcasing our commitment to upholding professional standards and adhering to UK Rural Skills. For your peace of mind, we are thoroughly criminal record checked, fully insured, and hold Pet First Aid qualifications.
