Supporting you and your beloved dog

I hold a Canine First Aid Certificate, genuine compassion and caring nature with dogs.
Dog walking & care
There are many reasons why people need a dog walker and trust me to assist them and make sure their dog's welfare and walking needs are taken care off at all times.
Ideally any dog should not be left alone for more than 4 hours on a regular basis.
My customers include full time workers, shift workers, those that cannot manage long walks themselves. Some owners would like an experienced professional to train the dog further in both on and off lead walking, and to let their dog socialize with other four legged friends.
Some owners just need my services now and again when they themselves have a social event such as a wedding or out for the day or extended evening out and like responsible owners want to have peace of mind that their dog welfare is being fully taken care off.
What ever your reason, you can trust me taking care off your beloved pet with its walking and care needs.
Group walks - our most popular service. Pop in and welfare visits and solo walks available. Service to suit your needs including weekends and evenings.
Weekends and after 5pm is charged at a higher rate.
I am based in Uphall Station (Livingston), I can assist with dogs in the following areas:
Livingston, East Calder, Mid Calder, Pumpherston, Uphall Station, Uphall, Broxburn, Winchburgh, Kirkliston & Linlithgow.
If you live just outside these areas, please get in touch to see if I can help.
***Please note I do not currently offer home boarding services due to other pet needs in my home ***
Interested in Doggy Day Care?
Why not look at a day package with a mix of pop ins and walks. This often works out less expensive than Day Care centers and the dog gets time to relax in its home surroundings during parts of the day.
About me
Let me introduce myself. I am Tommy McAlpine Professional Dog Walker and I love spending time with dogs.
I worked with the Scottish SPCA for 13 years dealing with all kinds of animals and dogs with behavior problems. I left in September 2018 and was employed by a dog walking company leading walks.
From July 2019, I set up my own service. This is after lots of encouragement from family, animal care friends, fellow dog walkers and owners.
I am able to offer owners what they need providing a flexible service when both your dog needs change or when your needs change.
I have one dog at the moment of Lhasa Apso breed. Murphy (10) who I rehomed who joins me in some of my group walks and has bundles of energy like me.
Sadly Winston (14) also a Lhasa Apso who was my late Dad's treasured pet and who moved in with the family sadly passed not long ago .
Completing the family of pets is two parrots Ritchie (26) an African Grey who is a very good talker and boss of the house and Coco (16) a Senegal who is best fiends with Winston the dog.
You can put your trust in me to look after your treasured pet.
