★★★★★"Our dog Arlo has been with Dave at Big Bark for almost 5 years, he is amazing with the dogs and so understanding of their needs. Would recommend him to anyone!"
Megan Jones on Google
★★★★★"Our Labrador, Suki, absolutely adores her walks with Dave. He’s professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely cares about the dogs he works with. Dave supported us massively through Suki’s challenging puppy months, and we always felt reassured knowing she was in such capable hands. We also love the regular videos he sends throughout her walks."
Dominique Elliott on Google
★★★★★"My Labrador Lexie has been walking with Big Bark (Dave) for nearly 3 years and regularly boards with Dave when we go on holiday. She absolutely loves going on the group walks and is more confident since walking with Dave. He is patient and understanding and has that magic touch that makes all dogs love him. I highly recommend Big Bark if you are looking for someone to provide a home from home experience for your dog."
Joanne D on Google
★★★★★"Dave is brilliant and our dog Holly loves every moment she spends with him. She's a collie so needs lots of stimulation and exercise and she definitely gets it. Wonderful walks in the woods with her friends - shes shattered when she comes home. Would definitely recommend, especially if you have an active and social dog."
Ryan Cullen on Google
★★★★★"Can’t recommend Dave enough. Our dog Roscoe goes on his group walks and it’s been great for his socialisation. Dave provides a great service and Roscoe loves him."
Lisa Henry on Google
★★★★★"Would recommend for anyone with a dog of any age or sensibility. David is extremely knowledgeable about the behaviours, interactions and needs of all breeds of dogs. He cares so much about the dogs and their owners. Most importantly every dog that is part of Big Bark adores David and he gives them the opportunity to socialise, experience freedom in nature, and he just absolutely loves them!"
