TESTIMONIALS

Over the last 2 years Murphy has been a regular 'guest' of Debbie & Steve when we go on holiday. Knowing he is with them is the difference between thinking he will be alright and peace of mind knowing he is safe, happy and loved.

Debbie & Steve also take him for regular walks, but we cannot use their names whilst he is within earshot, because he will sit at the window waiting for their arrival and as soon as he sees his transport coming, we get out of the way in case he knocks us over in the rush to get to them!

When we take him for walks we have to put him on the lead when we get to the opening of the field near to Debbie & Steve in case he does a 'runner', (recently when we caught up with him he was sat on their doorstep!). Without doubt in our minds this speaks volumes for the way Debbie & Steve care for the animals in their charge.

Thank you Debbie & Steve for being so kind, caring and trustworthy.

Blue and I have been regular customers of Walkies for over 18 months and the service Debbie & Steve provide is second to none - and that has meant that I could keep Blue following a change in my circumstances. They walk him every working day and look after him regularly when I am away with work, or on holiday.

On the daily walks, Blue can tell by the sound of the van that it's time to go and waits at the back door on full alert!

When I am away, I know that instead of being locked up all day and just exercised round a field like at a kennels, Blue is with people and exercised off lead with other dogs. He comes home absolutely exhausted - the first time he stayed with Debbie, he slept for a full day afterwards! He has also become more confident with other dogs as he gets used to meeting different types.

Steve and Debbie are as flexible as they can be and give lots of notice when they go away so I can make other arrangements - although I tend to take the day off as I don't like to put Blue in kennels when he is used to being so well looked after! They also cope brilliantly with the little things that looking after Blue entails - including him escaping from my back garden and when he has been poorly!

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Walkies and the service Debbie and Steve provide.

We bought Toby to help my husband and for over 5 years he had never been left on his own for long periods of time. When our circumstances changed, Toby was alone at home during the day and he was badly affected. Toby was very much a 'people' dog and was very possessive with his balls and my daughter and I wanted Toby to socialise with other dogs and be happy again.

We found 'Walkies' advertised in the Local Focal and one phone call arranged a visit. My daughter and I were overwhelmed with the kindness and professionalism shown by Steve and Debbie, and their attention to detail, and had no hesitation in asking them to take Toby out daily. It gives us great peace of mind to know that Toby is enjoying himself and being taken care of, with the bonus of visits to the house for security.

Toby has a good routine and his behaviour has changed. We put a lot of this down to the walks with Steve & Debbie. Walkies has helped us tremendously over the last six months, and my daughter and I cannot thank them enough - and if you have a dog that needs walking, I am sure Toby will introduce himself as a friend!

'Walkies' Bradford have been employed by us to walk and care for our young Jack Russell terrier for over three years. We have always found Debbie to be reliable, trustworthy and flexible.
Spider is a very happy and playful dog and this is due in part to the good care she receives during the day from Debbie's visits. Spider is indeed very fond of Debbie and nothing is too much trouble!

We feel confident leaving both our dog and home in Debbie's hands and have no hesitation in recommending her to you.

I have known Debbie for a long time. She is one of the most kind, loyal and trustworthy people I know.

Whilst on holiday this year, I left our dog Molly with her and her family. I knew she would be well cared for and walked regularly every day.

I would have no hesitation in recommending Debbie to look after any animal either on a daily basis or housing them for a holiday period. Debbie has a great love of animals and their welfare is her foremost concern.

'Walkies' Bradford have been employed by us for over three years.

During this time they have developed a strong bond with our dog a German Shorthaired Pointer and likewise the dog has with them. Debbie is a very caring and trustworthy person and we would not hesitate in recommending her to anyone.

I have been using the Bradford ”Walkies” service for over two years.

I work full time and previously, could take my retriever, Leo, to work with me. When I changed jobs I was very concerned about leaving him alone all day in the house, until I found out about ”Walkies”. They are invaluable to me and I know my dog is in good hands when he has his daily walk with them.

Both Debbie and Steve are dog lovers with their own pets.

They are reliable, experienced and committed to their work and they have never let me down. They have a key to my house and they pick Leo up, walk him for a good hour and then drop him home. They always dry him down if he’s wet and dirty and write a daily record about him for when I get home.

I trust them implicitly, they bring good references and they run a very professional service.

”Walkies” benefit both me and my dog. Leo is much more sociable around other dogs and now has ”doggie friends” to see every day and I have a lot less stress when I am at work knowing he is in such good hands.

They are certainly value for money to me and I would heartily recommend them.

Walkies have been looking after Alfie, our Standard Poodle, for over two years now whilst we go on holiday.
I have known Debbie for over ten years and have always found her to be kind, caring and honest. Debbie and her husband Steve look after Alfie like they do their own dog. I would not hesitate to recommend 'WALKIES' to anyone seeking 'Home from Home' boarding of their pet.

P.W. - Bradford.

We found 'Walkies' Bradford services on their web site after we were concerned about leaving our dogs in the house all day whilst we were at work. Debbie and Steve have been walking Badger and Olive since they were puppies.
We have found Debbie and Steve to be completely reliable and totally professional and it gives us great peace of mind to know that the dogs are out having fun with their friends when we are at work. The group walks have been great for socialising Badger and Olive who love having a good old play with other dogs.
On the rare occasions that we have been in when they have picked up the dogs, it was great to see that they were over the moon to see 'Walkies' and couldn't wait to get in the van quick enough!
We would highly recommend 'Walkies' Bradford.

Trusting someone to come into your home, when you are out, to collect your dog and take him for a walk can be a big step to take. We were initially apprehensive but Debbie and Steve put our minds at ease straight away and we trust them completely with both our house and Marco.
Walkies are professionally organised and instil confidence in us that Marco will be well looked after. They are extremely reliable and have never once let us down. You even receive a report as to where Marco has been each day and the other dogs he has been for "Walkies" with!
We can highly recommend Debbie and Steve to look after your best friend just as you would yourself.

We have been taking Boffin, our African grey parrot, to Debbie and Steve's house for over two years now. We could not be more pleased with the love and care given to him. It is so good to know that we can leave him safe and happy.
Debbie gives him freedom from his cage and treats him like one of the family. She is brilliant. To Boffin it is his second home. In fact, quite often when we go to collect him, he will not come out of his cage for us to take him home. He is so settled there.
