About Happy Paws

I’m Sarah, a lifelong dog lover who believes every dog deserves a calm, happy and secure life.

After a few years of caring for several dogs of different ages and personalities, I decided to create Happy Paws to offer something simple but often hard to find: steady, one‑to‑one care that puts your dog’s comfort first.

I offer reliable one‑to‑one dog walking and sitting for dogs of all ages and I specialise in caring for older dogs, nervous dogs and dogs who just prefer a quieter pace of life. I’m fully insured and trained in canine first aid.

Every service is tailored to your dog’s needs - whether that’s a short, local stroll with plenty of sniffing, a trip to the beach or park (off lead or on-lead), a reassuring at-home check‑in, a trip round a familiar route that helps them feel safe, or a stay at my house. Your dog sets the pace, always.

I’m fully insured and trained in canine first aid, giving you peace of mind during every walk, visit or overnight stay.

You’ll receive clear communication, real‑time updates, and the reassurance that your dog is with someone calm, patient and experienced.

Happy Paws is based in New Brighton and I keep my service area small so I can give each dog the time, attention and consistency they deserve.

Bella, my small and friendly terrier, may join us sometimes if she’s a good match for your dog - but only with your permission.

If your dog needs a slower pace, a softer approach, or simply someone who can offer them focused, one-to-one time and attention, I’d love to meet them.

Happy Paws is here to make life easier for you and happier for your four-legged best friend.
