Our Services

Welcome to Auntie Amie's, your go-to for professional dog walking and pet sitting services in Tamworth and the surrounding areas. We offer a range of services to cater to your furry friend's needs, ensuring they receive the care and attention they deserve.

  • Drop-in visits to check on your pet during the day
  • Dog sitting for extended care at your home
  • Dog home boarding at our family home

Please read on below for more information on each of the services available.

*please note, to qualify for any of the following services your dog must be fully vaccinated with vaccinations kept up to date, and treated for fleas and worms.

Group/Paired Walks

Group walks are an excellent way of providing your dog with exercise and socialisation. Your dog is guaranteed to have lots of fun and make some four-pawed friends. When paired or grouped with the right dogs to suit their personality they are sure to become best friends.

To qualify to be a part of Auntie Amie's group walks, your dog must be sociable- this means being able to read other dogs' body language and respect other dogs' needs. They must be confident around other dogs and communicate their own desires without aggression. It would be ideal that they have been taught recall to allow them off lead to run around with the others, but this is not a necessity.

Group walks are either one hour or half an hour and available both week days and weekends. This service is available to those living in Tamworth.

Solo Walks

Solo walks are suitable for those dogs that may have some extra needs that mean they can't be walked with another dog. Whether this is that your dog is nervous/reactive, or is elderly and needs to take it slow, your can be sure that your dog's needs will be accommodated to. It is important to note that Amie is not a dog trainer or behaviourist and will not provide behaviour modification for any dog, but is happy to incorporate any training techniques you are using throughout the walk.

Please note that Auntie Amie's has limited availability, particularly during the day, for solo walks as we already have rather full days. Please enquire by going to the 'Contact' page to see if we can meet your requirements.

Solo walks are either one hour or half an hour and available both week days and weekends. This service is available to those living in Tamworth.

Drop-in Visits

Drop-in visits are for any type of animal. Whether you just want a visit for your dog without a walk, or you are away and would like us to attend to your small animal, Auntie Amie's is here to help.

We are happy to provide visits for dogs, cats and rodents. Please note that Amie has never cared for birds or reptiles so does not feel comfortable offering drop-in services for these species.

Drop-in visits are either one hour or half an hour. This service is available to those living in Tamworth and the closely surrounding areas depending on availability.

Dog Sitting

In-home sitting is perfect for those dogs who thrive on routine and struggle to acclimatise in new environments. Sitting is highly recommended by Auntie Amie's as your dog does not have to get used to a new house/kennel, and is therefore more likely to be settled while you are away. 

Dog siting is charged in half days and full days. This is to make prices fair for all. This means that if you were to require sitting from after mid-day, you would only be charged half a day rather than a full day. 

Half a day of sitting includes one walk and a full day includes two walks. Please note that your dog will be left alone whilst Amie is out on her regular dog walks, for no more than a few hours (Amie will drop in at lunch to check on your dog).

Dog sitting is available to those living in Tamworth and the closely surrounding areas, depending on travel time. This is because Amie will not have time to travel back at lunch if you live far.

Dog Home Boarding

Dog home boarding is particularly ideal for those dogs who would not suit a kennel environment. Your dog will be welcomed into our loving family home (no children) and treated as if they're our own. They will be given lots of attention and provided with the utmost care.

Dog boarding is charged in half days and full days. This is to make prices fair for all. This means that if you were to drop-off your dog after mid-day, you would only be charged half a day rather than a full day. 

Half a day of boarding includes one walk and a full day includes two walks. Please note that your dog may be left alone whilst Amie is out on her regular dog walks, for no more than a few hours (Amie will drop in at lunch to check on your dog).

Dog boarding is available to those living in Tamworth and the surrounding areas including, but not limited to:

  • Polesworth
  • Sutton Coldfield
  • Walsall
  • Birmingham
  • Solihull
  • Lichfield
  • Cannock
  • Nuneaton
  • Burton-on-Trent
  • Coventry

It all depends on how far you are happy to travel. Your dog will be boarded within the home and left in a safe room when alone. Auntie Amie's will be sure to adhere to your dogs' normal routine where possible. We are located near junction 10 of the M42 and the A5 bypass, making getting here easy and straightforward for most.

To qualify for dog home boarding your dog must be fully vaccinated and toilet trained, and able to be left alone for up to four hours. Please be aware that our neighbours own a dog, therefore this option may not be suitable for reactive dogs. 

Overnight Trial

Auntie Amie's is pleased to offer this bespoke service to new clients looking to board their dogs. An overnight trial is a non-committal service, offering the client piece of mind prior to boarding for a longer period of time. The trial is a perfect opportunity to see how your dog gets on in our home and to help them get used to the new environment. It is particularly ideal for younger pups, nervous dogs, or those that haven't stayed away from pawrents before.
