Happy Pets Services - Chris Stirling

Belle isn’t your typical westie she didn’t have the best start to life, is slightly more stressed and brings various challenges, but when she is out with Chris he just allows her to be herself and I’ve watched her confidence grow and become a happy wee dog. Chris is so reliable, but more than anything we 100% trust him with Belle, every decision he makes is for the benefit of Belle and we couldn’t be happier knowing she spends time with him and her pals! 5 stars simply doesn’t seem enough, thanks Chris."

"So glad we were recommended Chris! After a terrible experience with our previous dog walker, Chris took the time to get to know us and our dog. He carefully matched Poppy’s personality and needs with a group and she’s been happily wandering the trails ever since! As Poppy had run from our previous dog walker, Chris kept her on the lead until she trusted him. Years of experience from Chris have meant we have a happy dog, now enjoying off lead walks, and we can confidently leave her in his care. Thank you Chris!

If you’re looking for a dog walker who really cares about your dog and places him/her in a group that is suitable to its breed and needs then look no further. Chris is very reliable and Brodie has the best time with him and the other dogs. Always conscious of providing the dogs with the exercise and environment that suits them. A fantastic service and a lovely, polite guy Thanks for all you do Chris

My boy Haggis is the most important boy in my life (sorry hubby), and I would not put him with anyone unless they were trustworthy, patient, kind and knew what they were doing. We interviewed a few dog walkers, yes interviewed! Chris for us came out on top. Our neighbour also uses Chris's services. Haggis has come on leaps and bounds and loves his doggie pals. He really looks forward to his walks. Chris is very trustworthy and I have no qualms him having the keys to our house. He also writes a dog diary of how your dog got on in his walk, which is really sweet. Cant highly recommend him enough.

We have been using Happy Pets Services to walk our Cairn Terrier/Poodle cross "Ruso" for 10 years. Chris walks him Mon-Fri and we would say this has been invaluable to the socialisation and development of our dog. Chris cares for the dogs and it shows, it is more than a business for him. Ruso loves going on walks and meeting the other dogs/ I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Happy Pets Services to anyone, your beloved Pet is in safe hands.

"I use Happy Pet Services and my dog, Jay, is having a fantastic time. I am a very busy Mum of 2 babies and there are just those rainy days that I cannot get out with Jay. I rely on Chris to take Jay out and give him as much fun or more as I would. I think he probably has more fun with Chris as he gets out with other dogs and is allowed to swim in the river! I did think he may come home black however, he doesn't because Chris does a good job of towelling him down before he comes home. There are times when I am going out for a few hours of the day and I know Jay is getting walked then will just sleep when he gets in.

West Highland Terrier "Isla".

“Isla has been one of Chris’s ‘monkeys’ for over 10 years. Her excitement knows no bounds when she sees his car going down the street to turn before he picks her up. She loves him and we have absolute trust in him. He is so good with the dogs and has earned every bit of that trust. Chris goes over and above his duty as a dog walker. That’s obvious from the way his charges adore him. However, when I was ill a couple of years back, he couldn’t do enough to support Sandy and was always there for Isla, at short notice if necessary. Isla has boarded with Chris and Fergus and she loves her visits to their home. Before we had Isla, Chris helped out with our son’s dog, Daisy. Again, he did a wonderful job and took the wee thing that was terrified of a car passing and bins, to the confident dog she is now. She doesn’t see Chris very often now but when she does she is ecstatic to see him.Our own Dr Doolittle. We would not hesitate to recommend Chris, and indeed have done so”

Border Terrier Puppy "Holly"

Holly adores Chris and really looks forward to her daily walks. At the weekends she even sits at the window wanting him to come! It is great to come home from work to a happy Puppy. Chris is fantastic with Holly and all the gang and it's all down to Chris and his training that we have such a contented and sociable dog. She has so much fun with all her friends on the walks. It's lovely seeing the photos and videos that Chris puts on facebook as they just prove how much fun Holly has when she is out with him"

"Happy Pets Services are fantastic. Scrappy loves going walks with Chris and Chris loves taking Scrappy her walks. I am content knowing Scrappy is well looked after with Chris and he is very reliable, even accommodating last minute changes and overnights."
