Jessica Clare - Owner

Jessica grew up surrounded by animals – dogs, horses, cats, chickens, doves, rabbits, fish, geese, and more – and has always had a deep love and respect for all creatures.

“Having relied on a dog walker and my horse in livery myself, I truly understand the concerns and needs of busy pet owners. I run a professional, fully insured service, but with a focus on personal care and attention – because every pet deserves to be treated like family.

I wanted to create a service where owners could be confident that, even if they can’t spend the whole day with their pets, someone will be there to provide love, attention, and the exercise they need. A well-exercised dog, able to socialise with other dogs and people, is a happy dog – and that’s at the heart of everything we do.”

Jessica is DBS checked, canine first aid trained, BHS qualified, and holds Level 2 OFQUAL dog grooming qualifications, bringing both professionalism and heartfelt experience to her work.

Chris Clare - Home Boarder

Chris, Jessica’s husband, shares the same deep passion for animals and brings calm, steady care to everything he does. He supports our home boarding service, ensuring the dogs are warm, cosy, and happily entertained.

Chris also helps with dog walks and adventure outings, giving the dogs plenty of exercise and fresh air, and lends a hand in caring for the Clare family’s other animals. His dedication and love for all creatures make him an essential part of our family-run service.

Lily Clare - Dog Walker - Pet Carer - Horse Care - Pet Portraits - Pet Photographer

Lily is a bright spark in our team, with a natural love for every dog she meets. From playtime to mealtimes and cuddles, she ensures every dog feels happy, safe, and loved. With years of hands-on experience, Lily is canine first aid trained and DBS checked, giving complete peace of mind. 

Outside of work, Lily is a keen horse rider, training her own young horse and working towards her Pony Club B Test. She’s also a talented artist, creating beautiful pet portraits, and our go-to social media star — capturing gorgeous photos, filming reels, and keeping our pages updated, often with a dog on her lap!

Her enthusiasm, compassion, and creativity make Lily a truly valued member of our family-run team.

Oliver Clare - Dog Walker - Dog Lover - Dog Adventures

Ollie is a playful and caring presence in our team, delighting in blowing bubbles to entertain the dogs and bring a little extra fun to their day. He helps with the day-to-day running of the business and enjoys walking the dogs across our paddocks, giving them exercise, fresh air, and plenty of attention.

With years of hands-on dog handling experience, Ollie is confident and capable, making him a valuable part of our family-run service. His love for animals shines through in everything he does, ensuring our furry friends are happy, safe, and well-cared for.

Ollie will take time planning enrichment activities and will often be seen always with a ball as a keen sports player! Ollie is a favourite amongst the working breeds.
