He walked my three-legged rescue dog with complex behavioral needs for around 5 years. It was the highlight of Pedro&#8217;s day to spend time with Jem. In that time, Jem showed a real understanding of my dog&#8217;s needs &#8211; cutting down his walks gradually as he got older and being sensitive to his well-being &#8211; as well as a real love of him and his quirks. Your dog will thank you for choosing Jem.<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/hound-solo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/pedro-2.png\" alt=\"dog walker\" \/><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tPedro<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tTripawd Lurcher<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJem has looked after our Bob for 5 years and is one of his close family! He\u2019s reliable, completely trustworthy and Bob loves him dearly. Being a rescue dog with hangovers from his former life we have always struggled with Bob until we met Jem. Now Bob goes for overnights and daytime sits every week and I never have to worry about him at all as I know he\u2019s so happy where he is. Given that Bob is quite picky, this is no mean feat! We feel so lucky and wouldn\u2019t hesitate in recommending Jem to anyone looking for a dog walker.<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/hound-solo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/bob.png\" alt=\"\" \/><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tBob<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJack Russel Parsons<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tBecky has been great since she started walking Ren. She is reliable, friendly and Ren loves her! When Becky has dog sat at our home she has been super respectful of the house, and keeps us up to date with how Ren is getting on, giving us the reassurance we need to relax when away. She is a lifesaver and we couldn&#8217;t do without her!<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/hound-solo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/ty.png\" alt=\"\" \/><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tRen<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tWorking Lab<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tI\u2019m so glad I got in touch with Hound Solo. They take the time to get to know your dog and what they need so it really works for them. Becky is brilliant with our golden retriever. He is always incredibly excited when she arrives for a walk and is happy and tired when he gets home! It\u2019s obvious that Becky engages him both mentally and physically. She is both reliable and punctual but also does everything to accommodate us if we need to change times around. We highly recommend Becky and Hound Solo. It\u2019s a brilliant service!<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/hound-solo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/lola.png\" alt=\"\" \/><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJovi<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tGolden Retriever<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJem looked after Tyson for three years with daily walks and day care whenever I needed him, as well as occasional holidays.

Both Tulula and Macey are powerful breeds but Jem was a perfect match. It is clear he has experience with large dogs and was completely in control of them from the start. Having Jem has changed our lives and if he has space for you then look no further.<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tTulula &amp; Macey<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tAmerican Bull Dog<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJem was fabulous when we bought our miniature long-haired puppy Wilson home. He was one of Wilson&#8217;s first dog sitters &#8211; such a help during  those early days of acclimating our little one. Jem is kind and gentle, very responsible and extremely trustworthy. I whole heartily recommend Jem to all dog parents.<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/hound-solo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/wilson.png\" alt=\"\" \/><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tMr Wilson<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tBig Eared Sausage<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJem is very professional, reliable and most importantly my little pug Buddy absolutely adores him. He clearly has a way with dogs, taking Buddy\u2019s quirks in his stride. Jem\u2019s own dog is such a delight. He\u2019s so chilled and friendly that Buddy has now become obsessed with his \u2018big brother\u2019. Jem has looked after Buddy on numerous occasions for the past 4 years, always sending me regular updates and pictures. I would strongly recommend his services to others.<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/hound-solo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/bud.png\" alt=\"\" \/><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tBuddy<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tAlien \/ Pug<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJem has walked my golden retriever Saoirse for around 4 years and it has been nothing but fun (for her) and smooth sailing (for me).
