Testimonials
Clare Smart & Poppy and Dexter
I’ve been using Flossie to walk my dogs and provide home visits for about 7 years now. To start with it was just Poppy and now she walks Poppy and Dexter, my Greek rescue! She’s always been reliable, really nice to deal with and is almost always able to help, even at the last minute. More importantly than anything, she clearly loves dogs including mine, and this goes a long way with me! I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending Dog-Trotters to anyone who is looking for a kind, reliable and knowledgeable dog walker.
Maurice and Naomi Nicholson & Jed and Iris
Flossie is great with our two Greyhounds and loves them as much as we do. She’s always patient and kind despite their probably quite annoying idiosyncracies (ie, laziness, grumpiness!). We’ve had other dog walkers in the various places we’ve lived, but Flossie is absolutely our favourite. We have recommended Flossie to others before and will continue to do so 🙂
Jackie and Andy & Teddy
We would highly recommend Dog-Trotters to anyone looking for a reliable, flexible and very experienced dog walking service. They walk Teddy 3 times a week and he cant wait to go out on his walks with her and his friends. We can go to work with the knowledge that our dog is taken very good care of and the service Dog Trotters provides is second to none.
Dawn Taafe & Stanley
Flossie has been walking my dog Stanley since he was 8 weeks old (he is now 3 1/2). I can honestly say that I don’t know what I would do without her! Flossie is friendly, flexible, good value for money and most of all reliable. I know Stan loves her too because on the rare occasion I am around when she picks Stan up he is genuinely torn between who he wants to go to! I have recommended Flossie to many friends as she provides an invaluable service and for me takes the guilt out of working.
Jon Vocking & Clio
We have been using Dog-Trotters to walk our slightly bonkers Springer Spaniel puppy when both my wife and I are at work. Flossie has been absolutely brilliant and Clio adores her. We have found Flossie to be friendly and very reliable. Clio is always absolutely exhausted after her walks. No mean feat with a Springer!! I would have no hesitation in recommending Flossie and Dog-Trotters!
Madeleine Coleman & Max
I can highly recommend Flossie from Dog-Trotters who walks our West Highland White Terrier, Max. She is patient, loyal and very trustworthy, as is Elaine who has recently become Max’s main walker. They both have an excellent relationship with our dog, who adores them and look forward to their visits. I would not hesitate in recommending Dog-Trotters to anyone else, who would be very lucky to have them.
Anneke Stockhausen & Pfhalo
Flossie Allinson of Dog-Trotters has been walking my Dalmatian Pfhalo, three times a week now for over two years; he so looks forward to her coming to pick him up at the gate. We both adore her and are forever grateful to her for her reliability and level of integrity, which allows me to work full time without having to worry about Pfhalo being taken care of. She is incredibly flexible and is always able to accommodate changes to my schedule. A thousand thank you’s to you, and all the best, you really are a gem and much appreciated in our little family.
Cath Holmes & Monty
Dog Trotters have been walking Monty, my Cairn Terrier, on a regular basis since he was first allowed out on walks as a young pup! They are very reliable and trustworthy and I have complete peace of mind that Monty’s out having a great time with his friends (followed by a good sleep) whilst I’m out at work. I have absolutely no hesitation in highly recommending Dog-Trotters to you – your dog will love the exciting outings too!
Susannah Aspinal & Barney
Flossie has walked Barney, our terrier cross, for five years now and she is extremely reliable and efficient and has a lovely manner with the dogs. I couldn’t be happier with her service, and would heartily recommend Dog-Trotters to anyone.
Sarah Metcalfe & Charlie
Dog Trotters walk our dog Charlie three times a week. She’s very reliable and great with the dogs. Charlie is always thrilled to see her and the walk is the absolute highlight of his day! He’s a very lively Spaniel with bags of energy to burn, but in the evenings after his walk he’s flat out on the sofa. We highly recommend Dog-Trotters to anybody looking for someone to walk their furry friend.
Martine Harry & Monty
We have been using Dog Trotters for at least 7 years and would highly recommend them. Flossie has always been very accommodating to our sometimes erratic needs. Dog Trotters now walk our Beagle Monty and provides just as reliable and flexible service. Monty settled with her very quickly and he couldn’t be happier, neither could we.
Pauline Smith & Bertie
So reliable and caring. Bertie loves his walks and it has been such a relief to find someone who takes care of him like you do. Thank you.
Dan Wallace and Kim Ward & Trixie and Alfie
We have used Dog-Trotters for dog-walking for over two years now and have recently added another dog to our family. Flossie has always been incredibly helpful, and has made sure our dogs have settled into her walking pack. Furthermore, she has been able to give very insightful feedback to their behaviour, which is very useful for energetic Jack Russels! During the last two years Flossie has been able to accommodate last minute changes to the schedule, and has been reliable and friendly. Most importantly the dogs both love their walk time with Flossie and her team and are always very excited to go out and are happy upon their return. We would have no hesitation in recommending Dog-Trotters to any potential clients; the service has always been above expectation and they have always gone the extra mile. Thanks Flossie and team!
Bernie Scott and Kevin Ingles & Dexter
We love Flossie! Spike’s quality of life has improved no end since enrolling with Dog-Trotters. His doggie social skills have improved vastly and he is a much happier, well-balanced boy. It is such a relief knowing that Spike is having the time of his life with his pals whilst I’m at work. We have found the service offered flawless reliability, which is obviously so important here and Flossie has never let us down. Big thanks to you as always.
Caroline Poulton & Poppy
I would highly recommend Dog-Trotters to all dog owners. Flossie is a lovely girl and 100% reliable. She is a real ‘dog person’, and goes to great lengths to make sure all the dogs are happy and relaxed on their walks. Poppy and I are very lucky to have her.
Vanessa Clarke & Crumpet
Flossie goes the extra mile like no other… I remember once she’d popped back to check on our neighbour’s dog, even though she wasn’t walking him that day, because she knew his owners were at work and she was worried he would overheat on that particularly hot summer’s day. Few people care about dogs like that and I wouldn’t trust our dog Crumpet with anyone other than Flossie, plus Crumpet loves her to bits and looks forward to her walks as if it were Christmas every time.
Paige & Bruno
Relocating Bruno, our beloved Border Collie cross, from Canada was a big concern. We’ve been here a few months now and it is gratifying that he has settled so well into the new environment. Finding a reliable dog walker was a priority and I spent some time researching different dog walkers in the area. Flossie of Dog Trotters does far more than tick the necessary boxes, it is such a relief to have found someone with her outlook, reliability, flexibility and obvious affection for the dogs. While professional she provides far more than that, her conscientiousness runs deep. I have no hesitation recommending Flossie.
Julia Green & Biggles
We can’t recommend Dog-Trotters too highly. Flossie has been walking Biggles, our Cavalier Westie cross, for several years now and he absolutely adores her. He gets so excited when he hears the van pull up and loves going out with his friends. As we are out at work it is important to have someone you can rely on and Flossie is fantastic – plus she cleans him off afterwards so we don’t come home to a muddy mess. Being part Westie he also needs regular grooming and Dog-Trotters can do this as well. A great service all round.
