We are fully insured, DBS (Disclosure and Barring Service) checked and hold the appropriate First Aid for Pets training and experience.

But more importantly, we are animal lovers with dogs of our own, and we also have three horses.

Where do I start with my five star review?
Andrea is the most reliable, friendly, passionate and affectionate pet sitter I have ever met in my life. She cares so much for my doggies and always has a can do attitude. I leave and I feel very comfortable that Andrea will take care of the household and doggies. Do not hesitate to book any services. Extremely recommended. Thank you!

Andrea walks our dog, Henry, three times a week. He has settled into such a great routine with her, and loves his walks. Henry is high energy and can be quite challenging at times, but Andrea is brilliant with him. Andrea always leaves us notes to let us know how the walks have been and is always just a
message away for any queries. Highly recommend.

Andrea was recommended to me by my previous Dog Walker.
Professional and caring right from the start Andrea came and met him and I’ve never looked back. Rio loves his walks with her three days a week and the peace of mind knowing he is so well looked after is priceless.

Andrea and Mark looked after my cat Rusty whilst I was away.
Great peace of mind to think he was fed and watered in his own home,
without the stress of a cattery.
Thanks both

Andrea is a life saver!
Our dogs love their time out with her and the other dogs. It’s great that our dogs can have fun socialising with other dogs and get plenty of exercise. Andrea understands the varying characters and needs and is always prompt and gives us updates and photos on every occasion. Even on the wettest days Andrea is always there with a smile and a bundle of energy. We totally trust her with our dogs and couldn’t recommend her highly enough.

Andrea looks after our cat, Raven, when we are away,
and to know she is being cared for (so brilliantly) in her own home is a god send to us. Andrea is friendly, kind, caring and trustworthy, she is a true gem. I’d highly recommend.

Andrea is great with our dogs –
they love us going away so that they can have Andrea look after them, taking them for long walks on the beach. Would highly recommend.

Andrea has taken care of our cat
for the past 7 months and she takes great care of him. She sends us pictures, our cat trusts her, and she leaves the house in a great state. Would not use anyone else.

Andrea is professional, friendly and really tuned into our Bonnie.
Bonnie always comes back from her walk exhausted and content. Andrea provides a great service and an important social outing for the dogs.

Andrea provides a fantastic dog walking service
She is kind and considerate of individual dog needs. She has helped our puppy to gain confidence whilst having fun out on walks either alone or with other dogs. She is dependable and flexible and we are very pleased we found her.

I contacted Solway Dog Walker and Pet Services, after the dog walker I was using, let me down badly.
Andrea was quick to come and meet myself and Mac, and start taking Mac out the following week.
Each day Mac is out with Andrea, I get left a note of where they have been and what he’s done on the walk, plus lots of photos.
I am extremely happy with the service Solway Dog Walker and Pet Services give.
I would highly recommend them, if you are looking for a reliable, friendly and dog loving walker.

Otis and Jess have great fun going for walks on the beach with Andrea… Thank you!
