“Dave has been absolutely fantastic and we can't recommend him enough! We have a rescue sighthound, Ziggy, and were very apprehensive about introducing a dog walker, given his severe separation anxiety and nervousness towards men. Dave has been so calm and patient with him; really taking time to win Ziggy's trust and put him at ease. Dave now even takes him off lead, something we never envisaged anyone other than us doing with him. He is clearly very experienced, and takes the time after every walk to share photos, videos and training learns. The progress has been outstanding. Ziggy now eagerly waits at the window for him; head tilting and tail wagging at the mention of his name! He absolutely loves his walks and comes back a very happy, chilled, and stimulated boy! Thank you Dave.”

“We absolutely love Dave and, more importantly, so does our dog Juno. She gets so excited when he arrives & is always tired when she gets in - exactly what we need as retriever owners! Dave’s flexible, reliable & always sends us the most beautiful pictures after every walk. It can be an anxiety provoking exercise to find the right dog walker & I can hand on heart say we are very lucky to have found Dave. We highly, highly recommend him. Your pup will adore him!’”
– Roxy, Walthamstow Village

"Dave is the Original Lurcher Whisperer™️. He cares deeply about the dogs he walks and made a real effort to understand our excitable hound. He always looks for ways to make the walks as fun and interactive as possible and very quickly became Murph's favourite walker. On top of all that he sends tonnes of great photos from every walk alongside a little report. What are you waiting for?"
- Will, St James

“Before we met Dave we never thought our nervous rescue could be walked by anyone else. Now Dave’s walk is our dog’s highlight of the week. He is patient, dedicated and clearly takes such enjoyment from seeing his dogs happy. We couldn’t recommend Dave enough.”
- Andy, Walthamstow Centrol

“We feel so lucky to have Dave as our walker for our dog, Alfie.  Apart from being incredibly reliable, punctual and accommodating, he always gives something extra.  He provides additional enrichment with toys and games that are specific to Alfie’s interests.  He has built up a wonderful rapport with him and Alfie adores him.  He is very experienced and provides a very bespoke service and has considered Alfie’s individual needs and personality.  In addition to walks in local parks and streets, Dave offers individual walks in forest and marsh areas which can often be offered only as group walks by other dog walkers, and we particularly appreciate this option for Alfie.  They seem to have a wonderful time together and we love getting a glimpse of their walks in the range of photos that Dave shares after each walk.  Thank you Dave!”

“Our anxious rescue dog, Dudu, absolutely loves Dave and so do we! Happy to have a reliable, conscientious dog walker who we trust to give Dudu exciting and enriching walks. Definitely her highlight of the week and she's always excited to see him when we bump into him out and about. Dave is professional, reliable and trustworthy, everything you need from your dog walker.”
- Sergei, Blackhorse Mills

“Dave is a reliable, personable and knowledgeable dog walker who has taken the time to form a lovely bond with our dog, Chip. Chip looks forward to his walk so much we can no longer say Dave's name without him getting over excited! His walk with Dave is definitely his favourite hour of the week. Would highly recommend!”
- Gabrielle, St James

“I had tried for months to find the right dog walker for my young Doberman who has some anxiety & reactivity, and can generally be a handful in the wrong hands. Dave has a wonderful calm & confident demeanour which is absolutely what my boy Jackson needs. Jackson immediately took to Dave & has been enjoying his weekly walks since. Dave is very professional, reliable & communicative. He send pictures & videos after each walk, and I know Jackson is well looked after in his hands. I highly recommend his service!”
– Lauren, Blackhorse Mills

“When Dave spent a week looking after my two shepherd rescues, they had such a fantastic time that now, whenever they see him in the park, they get excited and always want to say hello. Part of the pack for sure! Thanks for everything.’”
– Alex, Lloyd Park

“Dave is friendly and reliable and, most importantly, he ‘gets’ dogs. Peggy always looks forward to her walks with him & comes home tired and happy.”
– Hamish, St James

”Very lucky to have found Dave to walk my female German shepherd dog. Always on time, Dave always gives my dog a proper walk., and is mindful of her mild symptoms of hip dysplasia. Dave has a dog of his own, so it is very easy to communicate with him about all the needs my dog has, and he knows that having a dog does require flexibility of all kinds - which he very graciously demonstrated to my dog and I. But the most impressive thing was when Dave agreed to accommodate and still walk my female GSD when she was in season, and needed to have her reusable nappy changed - which he did. Someone once told me that a good dog walker is a godsend & Dave is certainly that.”
- Eugenie, South Woodford

“Dave has been walking our rescue beagle Luna for a few months now and what a difference! She is so much more confident. Whilst she is still sensitive to loud noises, she recovers/overcomes her fears swiftly and gets back to her main focus, happily sniffing her way ahead. She loves her weekly walks with Dave so much that she often doesn't look back at us when he comes to pick her up. We cannot recommend Dave enough - he has had such a wonderful impact on Luna. He is so calm and patient with her and takes her to all the fun parks nearby where she can get a good lot of exercise. Thanks Dave for all your help!!”
