Takes your money but doesn't walk your dog!
Chloe walked our dog on a solo walk for a year, in Jul last year we had just left the house when she messaged to say our dog on her afternoon walk was great. This immediately rang alarm bells as we had left the house 5 min before, her afternoon walk was 30 min. We gave Chloe the benefit of the doubt but as we continued to monitor her timings, she would shorten her afternoon walk on every occasion, we paid for a 30 min afternoon walk, she attended the house for a max of 10 min. She also had a morning solo walk for an hour.
We had trusted Chloe with our most prized possession and then she broke the trust. On occasion, we would cancel walks and never ask for the money but then we would be rammed with her cancellation policy even when we did get her 2 days’ notice to be then met with it’s 3 days’ notice. I understand a cancellation policy, but it can be communicated in a softer and professional way
We always paid a month in advance, she never had to chase us for payment, in the end receiving rude messages about underpaying her by £2-3 pounds and then accusing me of bullying as I called her out on her behaviour.
She promotes dog training as an additional business but unfortunately in the local area, she was walking a dog under her control with a new member of her team, her dog attacked another dog and Chloe stood by and did nothing, the owner of the dog that was being attacked, stepped in to pull them apart. Chloe’s business is dogs and promoting their best life and keeping them safe, at no point did she ask about the injured dog or pay the vet bill.
It's such a shame that Chloe can’t see the value in looking after the customers, customer service, it’s simple- you’re paid to walk the dog to the times you promote, walk the dog and don’t sort change them. In the end, I didn’t find her professional and I would never entrust her with any animal. It’s this lack of professionalism, poor communication, she broke the trust has led me to this review which I’ve sat on for a few months, I can’t sit by as she promotes good training but fails to follow her own methods and having the best interest of the dog at heart.
