DIssy Dogs has been a business since 2015 and from this time the business has grown from strength to strength.

As a husband & wife team, and owners of the business, we pride ourselves on providing a professional, dependable and friendly service that is focused on the enjoyment and well-being of all the dogs / pets in our care as well as ensuring that owners are reassured that their beloved pets are being cared for when they are at work or on holiday. Plenty of photographs and videos are taken and shared with owners and on social media (with owners’ permission) so they can see what their animals have been up to. We also provide updates (by prior arrangement) to the owners on how settled their dog is whilst they are away.

Any animals in our care will always receive the same love and attention we give to our own pets.

Our names are Jacky & Paul Devine and are the owners of DIssy Dogs Dog Walking / Pet Sitting Service

Jacky started the business in September 2015 after taking early retirement from the Health Service following a career of 32 years as an adult / children’s nurse. A lot of the skills gained were extremely useful and transferable not only in communicating with the owners and setting up the business but were also very valuable in providing overall care for the dogs

Paul joined the business full time in January 2021 and previously had had a 40+ year career in Risk management, Banking and Retail.

Rocco

Fantastic service from Jacky. Rocco just loves his walks and gets great exercise running about with his doggy friends!

Elliot

I can’t thank Jacky enough for how she looked after our wee Elliot while we were at a family wedding. She kept us updated during the day with loads of photos. Elliot had a great afternoon at the beach & thoroughly enjoyed his ‘home from home’ stay. We will definitely be using Dissy Dogs in the future!

Bowe

I would recommend Dissy Dogs to anyone. Jacky has been a blessing to us with our dog Bowe. It is the only place where Bowe is absolutely delighted to go to and we feel content knowing how happy she is there (Bowe runs into her house without a backwards look to us). She returns exhausted and content from a day of walks and pampering! Jacky has helped us out many times at very short notice and nothing is too much effort – Jacky really does go the extra mile. Such a lovely family. Delighted we found Dissy Dogs! Cannot recommend enough!!

Reuben

I would give 6 stars if I could. Jacky is absolutely amazing with our dog Reuben. He absolutely adores her and you can be sure that nobody will take care of your dog like she does! She treats him like one of the family! Sofas and all! 5 stars

Harry
Jacky is the only person I fully trust to take care of my Bichon, Harry. He adores her and it is clear she loves him too. In my job I can be called out at short notice and Jacky has always been so accomodating and flexible, I don’t know what I’d do without her! I can go to work with peace of mind that Harry is being well cared for and he has so much fun! He is a very happy little pooch! I tell everyone about her

Sam

Sam has just recently joined DIssy Dogs and I felt like a mum leaving her baby with a childminder for the first time. I needn’t have worried; Jacky is very professional and her love of dogs is obvious. Sam now sits at the window and waits for her car to pull up every day; he just loves his new routine.

Lily
Jackie is a great person to have taking care of my retriever, Lily. She is kind, patient and fun and Lily is very happy when she goes out for her walks. The fact that there are other dogs on the walks means that Lily gets to play and be in a pack which she loves.  Jackie goes out of her way to be accommodating and flexible which I really appreciate.
