What Four Paws and a Wagging Tail can do for you.
Dog walking
We recognise that each dog is individual and will have different requirements, and as such we offer a tailored dog walking service with flexible walking times to meet your dog’s needs. These can be walks from your doorstep, or transported to parks, woods and waterside areas. We operate solo walks, giving one on one care for your dog, or group walks for your family of dogs, or group of pre-socialised dogs (such as friends, family or neighbours dogs). We prefer not to offer walking groups of dogs which have not been pre-socialised.
Home visits and pet sitting
As we increasingly lead busy and diverse lives, you may have the need for home visits to provide toilet breaks, sit with your pet, spend time with them, feed them, play with them, whatever you/they need. This has the advantage of your pet remaining comfortable and secure on their own patch. Time spent in your home can be anywhere from 15 minutes to several hours. I am an experienced key holder, fully insured and have DBS verification.
Pet Taxi
If you need to take you pet to the vets, to the groomers, or day care drop-off/collection and you don't have the means to get there, we can take care of this for you in our Mercedes Benz vehicle, which has been custom fitted to provide comfortable, safe, secure and fully insured transit for your pets.

About me
Being a dog owner, I understand and have experienced the difficulties of finding someone you can trust to look after your precious family member at times when you simply can’t, or just don’t have the time.
Having recently left a business I started and ran for 20 years, I wanted to be able to provide a friendly, reliable, trustworthy service, with the aim of providing the care and attention that we would want our own pet to receive.
I have lived in Stretton for over 30 years and reside in the heart of the village with my wife and beautiful Shih Tzu, Lily. I am happy to discuss requirements from anyone in Burton, Derby and the surrounding areas.
High service at an affordable price
Whilst we aim to provide a first class service, we don't expect you to have to break the bank. If you're considering using a dog walker or pet sitter, please contact us to see just how cost effective we can be.
COVID 19
Having come from a highly regulated industry, where I was responsible for carrying out the COVID workplace risk assessment and implementing a COVID safe workplace strategy, I am fully aware of the requirements to mitigate transmission and spread of the virus. We will be working to the CFSG guidelines and following updated Government advice. We are happy to discuss the finer details and how this would work best in your environment.
