Customer Reviews

Glenn & Mandy were excellent pet sitters. They visited us before our trip to meet us and our two spaniels. While we were away they kept in touch with photos & videos. We returned to two happy dogs who had been very well looked after. We have booked Glenn & Mandy again for next year and Jenny for our autumn trip.
Highly recommended.

Took great care of our precious dog Freddie and our house for two weeks and we had great communication from start to finish with Running Duck which put us at ease.

We were kept up to date with photos and updates which was so lovely. He especially loved his walks and playtime with Glenn, and we could see they had really bonded. They really do look after your pet and home as their own.

The house was kept safe, clean and garden watered too which was so appreciated. Don’t hesitate to book Running Duck for your next trip away you and your pets will be very glad you did.

Thanks again Glenn and Mandy for everything.

Having both retired, we planned a once in a lifetime 6 week trip to Australia, but were very anxious about leaving our pets, particularly our dear dog Barley. Jenny juggled schedules in order to fit around our dates, so that Glenn and Mandy were able to cover the whole of the time. They took excellent care of our home, our cat Chip's, and our precious boy, communicating with us regularly via WhatsApp, attaching pics and videos to reassure us.

Rainy Day Essentials For Walks With Your Dogs

Let’s face it, British weather is as unpredictable as a terrier on scent patrol. Just because the heavens open doesn’t mean our dogs’ need for exercise dries up. In fact, some dogs adore the squish of mud between their toes or the fresh, earthy smells that rain unlocks on familiar paths. But for us humans (and for the more delicate or short-coated breeds), walking dogs in the rain can quickly go from whimsical to woeful without the right kit.

Before You Ask ‘Can I Pet That Dawg?’ Read This First
