I highly recommend Maeve for dog training. My 3-year old rescue dog, Dixie, and I have been having weekly training sessions with Maeve for the last couple of months and I can really see a difference in Dixie's recall and socialisation with other dogs. Maeve is totally professional and very helpful with suggestions to solve any problems. Dixie and I thoroughly enjoy our sessions with Maeve. More...

Maeve is a great dog walker who is trustworthy and professional. We met at dog training classes and she has achieved so much with her own dog. It’s clear to see her love for dogs. I would definitely recommend her services. More...

We highly recommend Maeves dog walking service as she is always available, sends regular updates and our dog Ripple loves her. We know she will be completely safe and looked after as well as being stimulated by regular walk changes. What more could you want?! More...

I’ve trained and worked alongside Maeve and I’d definitely recommended Maeve’s Dog Walking Services! Your dog will be in good hands and may even get to walk with the lovely Buster

Maeve is caring, patient and professional with our dog, Cracker. Cracker is always a bit wary of new humans joining her pack but has taken a deep liking to Maeve and Buster. The bond they have is obvious to see and that gives me great confidence that Cracker is in safe, friendly territory whenever under Maeve’s care. Added bonus that Maeve is friendly, flexible and is on hand for those late notice extra dag-care duties when they crop up. Maeve always has Cracker’s best interests a heart, monitoring and reporting any odd behaviour or off colour poo production! Delighted to recommend the service, as long as it doesn’t get so popular Cracker misses her regular slot 😊 More...

We feel incredibly happy leaving our dog in the care of Maeve. We know she will be looked after and given plenty of love as well as getting a change of scenery.
Would definitely recommend!

I can highly recommend Maeve’s Dog Walking. Our naughty, 10 year beagle can be a handful and not many people are happy to let him off the lead. Maeve handles him perfectly, he loves going out with her and hasn’t run off (yet!) so she obviously knows how to handle him better than I do! Maeve clearly loves dogs and has a very calm and considered approach to them which shows in our dog’s behaviour. More...

I highly recommend Maeve’s Dog Walking. We have a naughty, 10 year old beagle. Not many people are happy to let him off the lead but Maeve handles him remarkably - he loves going for walks with her and has never run away from her (yet! ). She clearly knows how to handle him better than we do! More...

When our longstanding dog walker retired at the end of last year, we were pretty worried about finding a suitable replacement, since Pebbles (German pointer) is now thirteen, and quite opinionated - she definitely knows who she likes and who she doesn’t!
Fortunately she took to Maeve straight away, and is always really pleased to see her. Maeve has been walking Pebbles for a few months now, and has been great - flexible on times/dates, and providing a very personal service: she has really taken the time to get to know Pebbles. She also sends reports and pictures of what they have been up to on their walks, which is reassuring (and sometimes quite amusing!). We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Maeve’s services.

We completely trust Maeve with our pup and know that not only will she give him a fun walk but also with some element of training included. That waggy tail when she arrived to pick him up tells it all! More...

Maeve has walked our 6 month puppy on a number of occasions-she has always been reliable & flexible, both of which are key when relying on the service when out at work. Her care has been tailored to the needs of a young puppy-interesting walks but also lots of love and care. We always enjoy the updates and photos. We would definitely recommend Maeve. More...

What do you love most about your job?
I've wanted a dog since I was a little girl - I used to take imaginary dogs for pretend walks in the park! Now, at 43, my dream has come true and I get to spend my days playing, running and training with dogs.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I remember how nervous I felt the first time I left my own dog in someone else's care. I nearly cried! That's why I promise to take the utmost care of your beloved pup, treating them as if they were my own.
Why should our clients choose you?
Does your dog pull on the lead, jump up on people, not answer to their name or something else? I can help to correct all these undesirable behaviours using positive reinforcement and fun-based training. Your dog will receive the mental stimulation it needs as well as a jolly good walk! ?
Dog Training
I provide one-to-one coaching for dog owners. This is different from training your dog for you. Sessions last one hour and will take place at your home, in a local park or other mutually agreed location, such as a private field. I mainly work with pet dog owners that need help with obedience and manners. I have a particular interest in gun dog breeds, especially labradors and spaniels.
