Testimonials

"Sandra and Jen run an amazing service that we've very much come to rely on! Snoop always comes back from her walks happy and - most importantly - tired out! We also send her to board knowing that she'll be well looked after and come back having enjoyed a fun holiday with all her friends. We would highly recommend this service to anyone looking for friendly, reliable and caring dog walkers." - Rob & Ollie with Snoop

"Faithful Friends have walked and boarded our two Welsh Terriers since the eldest was a puppy, so almost 12 years. In that time, Sandra, Richard and Jen have provided the most professional and reliable service. They genuinely care about the safety and wellbeing of our dogs, and it gives us peace of mind to know that our dogs are in safe and kinds hands. The communication is great and we get updates after every walk. Our dogs have a lovely bond with them and they have become like family to us. We cannot praise or thank Faithful Friends enough for the support they continue to give us and we would not hesitate to recommend them." - Lynn & Andy with Stellar & Dexter.

"Richard is really friendly, consistently reliable and flexible with his dates. His genuine passion for dogs shines through. For the past four years, he has taken excellent care of our flat coat retriever, Jackson, while we're at work - picking him up and dropping him off each day. We couldn't ask for a better service. We highly recommend Faithful Friends to anyone looking for trustworthy and kind pet care." - Andrea with Jackson.

“Richard has been walking our Sprocker Spaniel, Charlie, for over 18 months and we have experienced a truly wonderful and professional service but beyond that, is the excitement Charlie displays when he knows Richie is coming in the morning. We have explicit trust for Richard and we know our Charlie is in safe hands. The bond Richard and Charlie has is amazing and one that I know will continue for a long long time. Absolutely recommended.” - James with Charlie

"Sandra, Richie and Jen have been looking after Mollie our flat coat since she was a puppy and before that they looked after Sam the flattie too.

"Richard has been walking Percy since he was a puppy and we highly recommend him. Percy is always really excited when Richard arrives to pick him up and very happy when he comes back from his walk. On each walk Percy is out of the house for a couple of hours and gets a good walk which breaks up the day for him if we are out of the house at work. Richard has also been really flexible with us if we need to alter plans." - Deborah with Percy

"Richie is our second most favourite human in the world (after our Mum of course).

We have been walking with Richie twice a week for the last ten years and sometimes we are really lucky because our Mum goes to work in London so we get bonus extra days with him.  Every walk is a great big adventure filled with fun and exercise and we have the longest sleeps when we get back home. Mum is also very happy that we are in such capable hands, even though we are such high maintenance Vizslas, thanks to Richie’s caring nature.  He is the most exceptional dog walker!!" - Hetty & Henry, and their human Karen

"Richard has always been 100% reliable for the 3 years he has walked Lenny and never let us down for our dog walks. Lenny always comes back relaxed and tired and loves his walks. We trust Richard completely to keep him safe and happy!" - Amy with Lenny

"Found Faithful Friends when attending puppy classes. Wow, what a find! Sandra, Jen and Richie are amazing with Jasper, especially now he's getting older. When he's being collected he never looks back, gets really excited. When he's being boarded, it's like he's in his own home. He's truly treat like he's their own dog. He loves spending time there mixing with all the other dogs. It's a totally amazing place." - Karin with Jasper.

"Barney has walked with Richard, Sandra and Jen for 9 years, since being a puppy. He loves with walks and we feel happy knowing he's having fun and is well looked after. We'd highly recommend Faithful Friends to anyone. They're reliable, friendly, and flexible if we ever need to change days or add extra. Most importantly, they love Barney, and seeing how excited he is when they arrive, the feeling's mutual!" - Emma with Barney

"Right from the start, we have always felt incredibly confident in Jen's (and Sandra's) care of Ralph on his walks. Jen has extensive knowledge of dog behaviour which I feel is so beneficial when group walking dogs safely. Ralph is always ready and waiting for Jen, gets soooo excited to go with her, run and play with other doggy friends. We can't thank Jen and her mum enough." - Helen & Paul with Ralph.

"We would recommend Faithful Friends unreservedly to anyone looking for caring and professional dog-walkers. Ellie is walked by Sandra and Jen, and she adores them. At the start, Ellie was very nervous but they were so patient and kind to her and quickly gained her trust. She now can't wait to go out with them and all her doggy friends. We cannot recommend them highly enough." - Cath with Ellie.

"We started using Faithful Friends a few years ago when we were both working and had a couple of shifts a week where giving our german shepherd Raven a good walk was difficult. 

"Rory is not exactly what you'd call 'athletic'. His daily walks are less 'power stroll' and more 'sniff, sit, repeat'. Some might say he's lazy - I prefer to think of him as selectively energetic. Thankfully, Richard totally gets him. 
Where others might get frustrated with Rory, Richard shows endless patience, good humour, and a genuine affection for our slow-motion sidekick. It's such a relief to know Rory is in good hands with someone who meets him at his own pace.
We have used Faithful Friends for 14 years and have always found them dependable, happy to help at short notice, easy to communicate with, and they clearly care deeply for the dogs they walk." Colin & Jill with Rory.

"Can't fault the service. Worth its weight in gold to know Fergus is in safe hands and that Richard has so much experience, especially with bigger dogs. Fergus is a Romanian rescue, and was not easy. Richard has brought him on. Definitely recommend." - Victoria with Fergus
