MOLLY
Molly is our gorgeous bundle of love! She loves her walk especially in the winter when the pheasants are out to play!
Mollys owner Emma says:-
"From the minute I met Sophie and Paul I knew that Molly would always be in safe and caring hands when in their care. Sophie is diligent and caring and really goes the extra mile to provide a top level service. From the initial meet and greet to the regular photos and texts, I never worry about Molly when she's with Sophie and Paul. Knowing that Molly is getting long walks and socialisation with other dogs while I'm at work is a real weight off my mind. What's more I know that Sophie is at the end of the phone if I ever have any queries or questions, and she goes out of her way to be accommodating to our needs and works around my sometimes changeable plans and requirements. As others have said Sophie is really personable and approachable and has come to feel like a friend as well as a dog walker/carer!

ALI
Ali is our auzzie fur baby and she is such a character! Ali's owner Beth says:-
"I couldn’t be more impressed with Sophie and her team! We have just moved over from Australia with our fur baby and needed not only in home minding almost straight away but also recommendations on lots of different things that Sophie has been only too happy to assist with.
I totally trust Sophie (and her team) in my home, and I know that Alli (the fur baby) is in excellent care with her.
Sophie is friendly, approachable and has a real genuine love for what she does.
HERC & NALA
Hercules and Nala are our smallest and cutest happy paws babies. Their mummy Rebecca says, 'They are fair weather dogs and Sophie certainly goes above and beyond to ensure our dogs needs are met. She is extremely reliable, trustworthy and caring. Sophie has a wonderful gift with animals and our two little dogs love spending time with her. There have been times where I have asked for additional walks last minute and Sophie has been flexible to accommodate this. I look forward to receiving texts and photos each day whilst at work from Sophie showing what the dogs are up to, something previous dog walkers I have used have never done. It really brightens up my day! Sophie really has a personal and unique approach. Above all, Sophie doesn't feel like a dog walking service, she feels like a friend. I couldn't recommend her enough!'

MAXI
Maxi monkey is our gorgeous lab who joined the Happy Paws gang for puppy visits until he was old enough to join the big boys club! His owner Annette says, 'In January of this year we were lucky enough to find Happy Paws in the Shire. We needed to find someone that would care for our puppy the way we would whilst at work and away, giving us complete peace of mind.
Sophie, Paul and the Happy Paws team have been amazing. Our pup loves them all so much. They have worked closely with us to ensure training was consistent and that all his needs were met as he progressed through the various puppy stages offering both walks and puppy care He loves spending time with the other dogs and has learned to socialise beautifully. The team go way beyond expectations and are totally devoted.
As with everything else, the services offered have also been excellent and Max settles instantly allowing us to relax whilst away.
I would not hesitate to recommend Happy Paws for any of the services offered.'

RUPERT
Rupert is my little wingman! He joined the gang with puppy visits until he was old enough to join in the walks which he loves! Weekly playdates with all his pals. His mummy Sue says,
'As we all do, I LOVE my little pooch and Sophie is so fabulous with him. Not only does she put up with his high maintenance owner but she adores Rupert and always goes above and beyond with him!! I trust her implicitly with him, even when he hasn’t been well he has been in such safe hands with his Auntie Sophie whom he adores. I’d recommend Happy Paws to any and everyone, reliable, caring and flexible and give the doggies some great adventures!'
