Testimonials. Here are a few testmonials from clients [now friends] from all walks of professional careers. Taryn & Paul Hilburn. Carol has become our dogs fairy godmother and our saviour. She is reliable and trustworthy and our Hungarian Viszla adores her, infact we think she prefers Carol to us! Knowing our dog is happy and cared for is so important to us. We can go on holiday and are completely relaxed that our 'first child' is having just as good time as us. Carol also walks Brook [age 10] during the week now that our family is all grown up- kids at school etc. Carol is careful to ensure all her dogs are well balanced interms of their age, sex and ability. Her love and commitment to her weekly regulars and her boarders is 100 percent. We are so lucky to have found her.  Julie Ross, vet MB, MRCVS 2008 To whom it may comcern.

I have been delighted with the service that has provided and the level of care provided to Oscar has been superb. very accommodating of my changing schedule and extremely reliable. Oscar clerly loves his walks and his response shows how much he looks forward to his daily outings. Has provided excellent care for Oscar and has alerted me when he has any concerns about Oscar's health or well-being.

After a stint in hositpal 18 months ago, it became apparent that i was no long able to give my dog Dougal the daily walks that he had previously enjoyed. My family found Carol for me and since then she has walked Dougal for at least 3 times a week. Not only is Dougal pleased to see Carol, he is positively excited at being picked up in Carol's van to go for a walk. After his walk Dougal is returned to my home a very tired, satisfied, happy and contented dog. Carol loves and respects dogs and her feelings are reciprocated by them. I have found her to be trustworthy and reliable. She has a warm nature and always has the time of day for me. Icommend Carol highly and have no hesitation in recommending her services to any dog owner.    Tricia Toomey Hello, let me tell you about Carol, She has been taking my little Jack Russell Coco out for over a year now.

Carol looks after out 2 year old Weimeraner Sam. Carol walks and takes him for most of the day 5 times a week. She has been looking after Sam since March 2002. Carol is a very reliable, trustworthy and flexible person and above all is loving and caring towards Sam. Carol has been someone we can trust and is always happy to give us advice on how we should care for our dog, which is invaluable to us as we are first time dog owners. We highly recommend Carol and hope that she will continue to play a large part in Sam's growing years. Ricardo & Simone Fornoni  July 2002. We have known Carol for the last year. In this time we have entrusted in her considerable responsibility with our beloved dog Lucas, our trust has been completely vindicated. As professional, working long hours, we need somebody reliable like Carol, a very responsible and caring person. We would like to recommend her services as a dog walker.   Judy Fearn  Oct 2006. Carol Saffhill has been looking after Rennie my 7 years old Cocker Spaniel for the past 2 years. He has stayed in her home at least 6 times during that period and I can confirm Rennie has ALWAYS been very well cared for, fed appropriately, exercised and groomed. I have no hesitation in recommending Carol's dog sitting services. Vivienne Sizer Oct 2006. I have known Carol for many years and believe her to be a trustworthy and honest person. Whilst I have been aware that she had been walking dogs for some time, I was very reluctant to put my dog in someone else's hands. However, she was recommended to me by several acquaintances, including one in Barnet and also my vet. Carol has been walking my German Shepherd for about 2 years now and has always been reliable and generous with her time. She made particular allowances for him when he was recovering from surgery and he has stayed overnight with her, without problems. She is knowledgeable and intuitive with dogs, takes no nonsense, but appears to be very well liked by all her "charges". I think she endeavors to make a safe, interesting and active outing for her dogs and seems to cope with mixing the various breeds and sexes. I have no hesitation in recommending her.     Dymphna D Costa.   July 2008.   Carol has been walking Duke, my dog since September 2007. I recommend her to the highest degree. she is reliable and honest and looks after Duke well. Examples of this are the fact that Carol has never missed a single day to walk him without prior notice in order so I can make other arrangements. And even this has been rare in the time I have known her. She also boards Duke and is very flexible on dates and the fact sometimes it is at short notice. She will also go out her way to help- i.e. she orders Duke's food for me in bulk. I can tell that she treats Duke well as when I have seen them together he is happy to be with her. And, finally I completely trust her with him and I know that she always has his best interest at heart. Dawn Miles.  July 2008.   Carol has walked my dog since August 2007. During that time I have found her to be professional, reliable and caring in her attitude. Her experience with dogs is extensive and she undoubtedly understands them. Her own dogs are well socialized, friendly and play well with all dogs. I would have no hesitation in recommending her services. Hugh Monro.  July 2008. Dear Mrs, Saffhill, Both Jane and myself would like to thank you for looking after Butch while we were away. We got Butch about 6 years ago and since getting him from Battersea dogs home we have allowed him to rule our life's! All of our holidays have been to places where we could take him with us and on a number of occasions we have cancelled trips due to Butch. Deborah and Paul Perlin I have used Carol Saffhill for the last 3 years to look after our precious family dog.  We have a collie cross who is slightly nervous but she is always happy to go to Carol’s for her holidays.  She is caring and kind towards the dogs in her care.  She takes her job seriously and is reliable and professional.   I would not hesitate to recommend her to other dog owners. Rachel And Jake Carol has walked my Dalmatian dog twice a week every week since July 2005, she is friendly and pleasant to work with. My dog is happy to see her and always seems to be tired when she has taken him out, so he has obviously had a good walk. I have been at home without her knowledge when she has dropped him off, and I have heard her being friendly and kind to him, checking that he has a drink before she leaves. She is very reliable, She is flexible as well, adapting to changes in my needs. Mr J Evans.  Carol has been walking my dog Max since July 2000. In this time I have found her to be completely trustworthy & extremely reliable. In almost in two years she has never let me down. Max adores her & the Dalmaitans! & on occasions when I am still in the house when Carol collects him he goes completely mad & cannot wait to get out of the door & into the car. Carol is a complete treasure & I & Max would be lost without her.   Karen & Antony Healy. Mrs Carol Saffhill has walked our dog on a daily basis since 2003. She has also had our dog to stay with her at her house when we away overnight or on holiday. We have always found Mrs Saffhill to be very flexible and reliable and out dog loves her and her family. We can strongly recommend her services to anyone who is thinking of engaging her. Samantha Read. Carol has been walking my energetic Border Collie for the last year and during this time I have found her to be very considerate, reliable, trustworthy and responsible (not to forget that she is passionate about dogs). As i work part time, I trust her with keys to my house for when she returns Max from his walks. Max is well treated, loved and always looks forward to his walks during the week.
