ABOUT US
Tim
At Herts Countryside Dog Walking & Day Care we love dogs and we love the countryside! Hertfordshire has a great deal of beautiful countryside and we like to explore it. Tim started the business initially just walking dogs. Very soon, more and more of his customers asked for day care and boarding so after being granted a licence by Dacorum Borough Council, he added these services.
Tim is proud to have grown the business which now includes a large number of long-term customers. He has since been joined by Sarah to help with the increasing demand and provide the services offered.
Tim is also a keen photographer and as well as caring for the dogs, he takes all photographs used on this site.
Sarah
Sarah is also an experienced dog handler having had German Shepherds in the past and currently Bas her lovely Golden Retriever who sometimes comes to Day Care as well!
Prior to joining our team in February 2018, Sarah worked as a horse trainer and riding instructor which included working with children and also physically and mentally impaired adults.
She also cares for two horses of her own together with cats, rabbits and chickens!
Sarah has a great rapport with all the dogs we look after, and she gets an exuberant welcome each morning when she arrives to take the dogs out on their first walk!
Customer Reviews
“ Tim provides a great day care and walking service. Mia loves her ‘doggy day care days’ she loves playing with the other dogs and they go for 2 x 1hr long walks per day. She always comes home happy and tired and looking forward to the next time."
Mia's Mum Lynn from Hemel Hempstead
“Tim runs a fantastic and very caring dog day walking and boarding business. Our dog was well looked after, and taken on long and fun walks with other active dogs. Often he would have been washed too and came back looking very groomed. I recommend this business to anyone that wants a premium and caring dog service.”
Rocco's Dad James from Hemel Hempstead
“ It’s so reassuring to know Lenny has company and attention (he loves attention!) all day with Tim, Sarah and lots of new doggy friends in a safe, fun and caring environment. 2 countryside walks, lots of sniffing, chasing, laps, pampering and cuddles… what’s not to like?”
Lenny's Mum Fiona from Hemel Hempstead
“ 5* Review - Tim and his team have cared for our 5 year old retriever Magnus for over 4 years now. He rushes to the door excitedly when his ‘lift’ arrives and always comes back happy and exhausted.
Magnus has also boarded with Tim and we have never felt worried to leave him. In fact, he gets a doggy holiday too! We are so happy we found Herts Countryside Dog Walking & Day Care.”
Magnus' Mum Helen from Hemel Hempstead
“Our dog has been going to Herts Countryside Dog Walking for over 18months now. Bruce always comes home happy, tired and stimulated. His jackets (in winter) are ALWAYS clean, along with his feeding bowls and of course Bruce himself! It’s these small touches that really make a difference.
Thank you Tim and all the team at Herts Countryside Dog Walking & Day care”
Bruce’s Mum Louise from Amersham
“Tim and Sarah are so friendly and caring - they do a fab job of looking after their four-legged charges 🙂 I really like the fact that it's a home environment, with plenty of resting spots and garden playtime for the dogs. Amber goes to day care regularly and has had a few overnight stays. I know she's in great hands, and my energetic girl always comes home happy and tired. Very highly recommended! .”
Amber's Mum Rachel from Hemel Hempstead
“They are amazing and very friendly staff. Tim is very caring with pets and customers. He wants to make sure we are happy with their services. 😊
Love how they upload the photos. This makes us want to see more photos, every time they take our dogs. 😊
Thank you so much.”
