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.
What exactly went wrong with the service? Any particular incidents or issues that led to your dissatisfaction? Additional details can help others make informed decisions.
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.
I agree because it’s true
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.
It's distressing to trust someone with your pet, only to have them return home in a traumatized state. Have you been able to determine what might have happened during that one and a half hours to cause such a change in your dog's behavior?
The owner of Doggy Poppins uses dogs to generate money. That’s her only concern. She has zero concern for the animals.
Walking packs of dogs off lead that are not accustomed to doing so is dangerous, with no care to them or other dog owners.
Whilst out walking I was attacked by one of Poppins dogs and the walker found it amusing. She was aggressive and nasty.
