About Me/ Company

Based in Leckhampton, Muddy Buddies is a friendly, personal service providing dog walking and home visits in Cheltenham and the nearby surrounding area.
My aim is to offer a home from home service for your dog whilst you're not available to. Having grown up with dogs in the family home, I know how precious they are to you - I will always treat them as my own.

Whatever your situation is, please call - I will endeavour to tailor my services to your requirements.

Previous Experience

I have 12 years experience of looking after dogs in the family home and have run a busy dog walking service since September 2013 successfully. All my walks are away from busy roads and in groups to encourage off lead socialisation.
I also offer a boarding service both in your home and my own - whichever suits best.

I have looked after small puppies, providing basic training, to caring for very elderly dogs living out their days in comfort.

Testimonials:
"I can't recommend Helen highly enough. Dobby is a 5 month old Patterdale Terrier, who I have brought up very particularly because of the challenges that can befall those who are not aware of the particulars of this breed. It is imperative therefore that when selecting a sitter, they are the right one to ensure that the good work is not undone. My requirements/instructions are adhered to, and as the owner you have the confidence that the care they will receive in your absence is exemplary. As any parent will know, leaving your child with anyone can be a difficult experience in its own right.
Helen was very thorough when understanding my puppy's routines, habits and behavioural needs/training, taking detailed notes and asking questions throughout the initial visit, which gave me the comfort I needed to leave my little boy with someone else whilst I went away for the weekend.
Helen very clearly has a love for dogs, whilst being very pragmatic and thorough, giving me the confidence that any discipline needed would be given in the correct manner, and as instructed, which is essential at this age.
I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Helen's services."

Ann Wright, Dobby's owner

Helen looked after our boxer Cooper for a week whilst we were on holiday. She clearly has an obvious love for dogs and a natural confidence when handling them. Cooper warmed to Helen quickly and I felt confident in her ability to look after him. This was matched by his warmth towards her when picking him up! I would highly recommend Helen, rest assured you dog will be left in good
hands!

Erica Tindall, Cooper's owner.

“Knowing that Muddy Buddies will only walk Bryson with a small group, I feel comfortable and confident he will come back both well exercised and well socialised - the perfect antidote to his hyperactivity!" ​

Other Services

Imminent Baby? - The last thing you want to think about at 3am whilst enduring 5 minute contractions is, what shall I do with pooch whilst I'm in hospital?
No worries, after you've registered your interest in this service, just text me anytime day or night to let me know and I will pop over to feed, water, walk and generally fuss over them. I will carry out a pre-agreed routine with them until you are back home and settled with your new addition to the family.

Vet appointment - Don't have the time off work to take your dog to the vets? Let me - I will fit your appointment around existing arrangements so you don't have to think about it.

Your wedding day - Take one thing off your list of things to do on your big day - no need to worry, I will take your pooch off your hands!

Gardening - I love gardening too! You could always combine a day's care for your dog with a day of gardening. You will come home to a relaxed dog and a beautiful garden!
