DOGGY POPPINS in Wigan Reviews

Didn’t turn up at the agreed time and only phoned me an hour later to apologise that she couldn’t make it. This is unacceptable.

Very disappointed because she cancelled the walk with my dog minutes before the scheduled agreed time. She didn’t have an alternative walker and so I was left in a difficult situation. She must’ve known hours beforehand that she couldn’t make the appointment.
There are no excuses. Unreliable service that I will not be using again.

My dog was delivered back to me, covered in mud, damp, cold and the dog walker simply apologise for not having the time to clean him. This is unacceptable because it was a very cold day and my dog was shivering and in distress.

Very strange character this dog walker. Overly fake friendly bad acting. Made me feel uncomfortable so I won’t be using her services again.

Nightmare, caused me a lot of stress by being late on arrival to pick up my dog and also late when dropping my dog back off.
I have places to be, I don’t have time to be waiting around. That’s the whole point of booking in a time.

Terrible dog walking service. Made me feel uneasy and my dog was affected negatively.

Thousands of pounds in compensation is being paid out to victims as a direct result of the behaviour of the owner of Doggy Poppins.
Other future legal cases are being worked on against her.
Please take this advice and keep away from this dog walker unless you want to spend years going through the court and legal system.

Booked in this dog walking service over two weeks in advance as I had a very important appointment to attend, but the owner Doggy Poppins cancelled on me minutes before she was due to arrive.
Highly unprofessional and she was rude about it.

At the beginning, Doggy Poppins owner gave a great service for the first three dog walking events. However, over time she seem to lose interest, turning up late etc and she took it for granted that we would continue with her service, even though it became bad, so we abruptly cancelled.
The happy friendly character that she portrays is very different to who she really is as we found out overtime.

Only one word needed “AVOID”.

I have safety concerns after my dog ate some discarded food that this dog walker did not prevent from happening even though my dog was on a leash. You claim to be a professional specialist dog walker, but yet didn’t prevent my dog from being sick. After my complaint, Doggy Poppins owner became very aggressive, threatening and she refused to pay the vet bill. She became a totally different person to the person that I thought she was.
I made a huge mistake in using the service.

Dog walking money grabbing SCAM!

The owner of Doggy Poppins harassment of me has to stop. You’ve been caught stalking and harassing me on numerous occasions. Over 1 year of following me, sending me messages etc. 2 other people have now raised concerns to the police regarding your behaviour. You’ve been banned from areas already!
Warning to the public, do not use this dog walking service, she can’t handle rejection.
Strange behaviour!!

Do NOT use this dog walking service, it’s bad.

Jekyll and Hyde character. Doggy Poppins owner gave me the impression that she was the perfect person to walk my dog. Initially she was friendly, bubbly, funny, seemed to be very caring of animals, and professional.
However, over time I saw a completely different character who cannot be trusted.
I don’t wish to give any details because I do not want to reveal who I am because she knows where I live, and I do not trust this woman so not recommended.

Waste of money. Bad service.

Bad service and won’t be using again.
Getting your friends to leave fake positive reviews on Google, Facebook etc doesn’t hide the negative truth.

How is it possible that anybody can open a dog walking business, and sell dog treats with a choking hazard, taking on the responsibility for caring for animals without being registered, or checked on by the authorities?
If there was a dog walking registration service then this company and owner would not pass, and therefore would not be allowed to sell the junk dog food, or walk dogs.

We all make mistakes, but when it comes to the care of animals, you have to take responsibility and you have to double check your own actions. Leaving my back gate open for my dog to escape after you had walked my dog is totally unacceptable.
I had to spend three hours looking for my dog.
Luckily, a kind gentleman contacted me from the information on the dog collar.
Very worrying situation that you caused.

Due to being out of town, I left my back house keys with Doggy Poppins owner so that she could walk, and care for my dog on a daily basis.
I will not go into detail, but I will not be putting my trust in this woman again, and obviously I will not use her services again.

How is this woman allowed to continue to run a business in the care of animals?
I don’t know what she fed my dog, but my dog was sick for days.

Avoided my phone calls because she knew I had a serious complaint to make. I paid for (deleted by the administrator) to care for my dog for two hours. She turned up half an hour late, which disrupted my day. She then took my dog for a walk, and on arrival back, my dog was filthy in which she didn’t even bother to dry him off.
My dog seemed very timid for days afterwards, so I will not be using your bad services again.

This girl who runs Doggy Poppins is an irresponsible dog walker and cannot be trusted with animals.

I put a GPS tracker on my dog, and it revealed that (deleted by the administrator) is not providing the service in which she says she is. The tracker app clearly showed that my dog was taken on a 10 minute walk and then didn’t move from her place of work for over an hour. I paid for a one hour walk.

Ban Doggy Poppins from being a dog walker immediately. Dogs are not just a cash cow for you to abuse as an incompetent dog walker.
NOT recommended at all.

This dog walker met me at my home. We talked and I questioned. She gave the impression of being unnaturally overly friendly as if playing a false character. However, I brushed my concerns to one side because she seemed experience as a carer and a walker of dogs. As such I trusted her to care for my dog.
Big mistake.
After one and a half hours in Doggy Poppins care, my dog returned home, traumatised and fears leaving the house.
