What can I say about my experience with The Happy Dog. After doing some thorough research 2 years ago I found The Happy Dog. From initially meeting Maxine back in 2019 I knew she was the right person to walk my pooch, putting me at ease straight away. It’s safe to say that I only have to say “Maxine” and my Milly Moo squeals (quite literally) with excitement. I would never trust anyone else to walk Milly, Max has a fab bond with all the dogs and always goes above and beyond and has checked in with me when Milly hasn’t been feeling great. It’s the personal touch that makes a difference

Couldn’t recommend Max more highly, super reliable and helpful, great communication too. My Brucie absolutely loves going out on a walk with her and his doggy friends

Indi our Viszla loves her. Max never lets us down, is always quick to respond and flexible when needed. We would be lost without her and the doggy team 🐾 thanks Max!

We have been using The Happy Dog pet sitting service for a long time now and we have always been super impressed with the high quality service Max provides. Having 4 cats that we adore makes us very particular who we choose to take care of them and we trust Max 100% to do the job perfectly. Max is reliable, friendly and great with the animals. She sends us pictures, videos and updates to keep our minds at ease. Max often goes above and beyond by taking care of the house e.g. opening and closing curtains, taking bins out when needed etc which is very appreciated. We would highly recommend Max to

I think it’s safe to say Milly loves her walks with Maxine! Maxine is brilliant, we trust her endlessly with our fur baby! We can always tell when she’s been out with this unflattering picture. 😂🙈

Max has been walking my Brucie for the past few months, he absolutely loves his walks! He’s a little live wire but I trust Max to look after him. The Happy Dog service is reliable, flexible and the communication is great, would highly recommend 👍

Max is amazing and so thorough you have no worries that your fur baby is in good hands. Our labradoodle Lily now runs out and jumps in the back of the van ready. When she comes back she's shattered and a very happy dog.

Maxine has been a life saver... working full time and having a puppy she has offered a great service.We are rest assured that Charlie is in good hands. Maxine is so friendly and nothing is ever too much, she has been accommodating when I have at last minute asked Maxine to walk him when I have been called into work.
Maxine has been freely available at the other end of the phone and gives us regular updates and open communication via the telephone.
I would recommend Maxine to anyone, she treats my dog as if it was her own. Maxine is also trustworthy and through the process of looking for a dog

Max has been walking my boy Alfie for a fair few months now and he loves it! Keeps him exercised and socialised. He really looks forward to going, we are so happy with the service we have now enlisted our new pup Mable to go also 😊
Thank you so much

Excellent Service, Maxine is very professional. Our two Cockapoos are quite lively and Maxine has worked well with them during their regular walks to improve their behaviour. We have seen a difference in just a couple of weeks. Both boys are always happy to see her, and keen to go on their walk. Maxine provides regular updates whilst they are out too.
