Testimonials
Please note that Moggies and Muttlies used to be known by the name of Best Paw Forward with Winnie.
“Kas is amazing! We are so happy that she looks after our Puppy with love, care and attention! She has been taking care of him for a few months now – and he is always so happy and settled when we arrive home! Thank you so much Kas!”
“Kas has been a very good friend to our Frenchie – Bear – for nearly 2 years now. Kas has been exceptionally professional and has looked after Bear as if she were her own. Our Frenchie has been trained so well by Kas and we cannot thank her enough for everything she has done for us and Bear. Kas is full of energy which shows through the time she spends with Bear. She is very trustworthy, reliable and will be a very good companion for your pets. Bear is always so happy to see Kas and loves going on walks and having playtime.”
“Kas has looked after our two (and our previous two) cats for about seven years. She has provided wonderful care and fuss for them on the many occasions she has visited to feed them whilst we are away. She is totally reliable and is a real cat expert who really understands their needs and what makes them tick. Our boys are both very fond of her, and they know exactly what they are going to get from her: food and fuss. Carol popped into see us once, as we had changed the lock and needed to give her a new key, she walked over to one of our cats, who was lying in a flower bed, and he immediately rolled over so that she could rub his tummy, making it perfectly clear fuss is what he associates with her! She will take them to the vet if they are ill whilst we are away, and willingly administers medicines. She visits in all weathers all days of the year, including Christmas Day and provides us with texts, photos and WhatsApp updates when we are away – we know they are in safe and loving hands. We trust her implicitly, and she has never let us down. We are very sorry to be losing Kas, but our loss is Dorset’s gain. Our boys will miss her.”
“Without Kas we would not be able to take a break. Knowing that there is someone there who cares as much about our animals as we do makes it that much easier to leave them. As with most animals they hate catteries, so having their home-comforts around them and someone to feed and fuss over them really helps with the guilt feelings! As an added bonus the security of having someone checking on your property whilst you are away is worth every penny.”
“Hello – this is my dog, Fudge, a Chow. He, and I, would be distraught without BestPawForwardwithWinnie! When I decided I had to go back to work and leave Fudge all day, I was very worried about what to do with him. He is good at being left for a while, but Chows have a reputation for being a bit surly with strangers and I didn’t know how he would react to a stranger calling when I was out. Well, it all turned out fine –Kas is brilliant with him, very clear about how he has to behave (and chows are not easy, unlike other dogs they are very hard to train). I know because sometimes she takes him out when I work at home, that he is so pleased to see her, and rushes to the door to say hello, and really enjoys his walks with her. And she always cleans him afterwards, which is very important, as being a very hairy beast, he comes in with mud, twigs, leaves and heaven knows what stuck to him. So I am very grateful to her for keeping my Fudge happy while I am at work.”
“Kas walked our dog Ellie for a number of years. Ellie was a rescue dog, who was quite difficult at first, and Kas helped offer advice and guidance when we first had her, as well as walking Ellie regularly. Kas was always reliable, flexible, and trustworthy. We are sad that she is moving away. Ellie loved Kas walking her and always greeted her warmly, Kas developed a strong bond with her.”
” Kas has been helping us with Stanley for almost two years, since he arrived with us as a tiny puppy. She visits twice a day, taking him for walks and helping with his training. She is kind and caring, and clearly knows her stuff. She is absolutely reliable, whatever the weather, and gives us plenty of notice if she’s going to be unavailable, so we can make other arrangements. Stanley is always delighted to see her. It’s been invaluable to have Kas’s support, both for Stanley and for us as first-time dog owners. “
“Kas has been looking after our cat Geoffrey when we have been away for over three years since we adopted him from an RSPCA Rescue Centre. Before that Kas looked after our previous cat Lucy for many years. Both Geoffrey and Lucy were contented and well fed on our return. We have always had confidence that Kas has been reliable and has given our cats sympathetic care. She clearly loves cats and is committed to looking after them. “
“We have used Winnie to walk our dog Bessie on many occasions and have found her to be reliable, punctual, trustworthy, friendly and most importantly Bessie adores her! “
“Kas has been seeing our border collie, Holly, for 12 years, at least once per week. Kas has been providing a walking service, therefore calling in to our home, walking Holly, then feeding and settling her.
Kas has proved to be impeccably reliable, I don’t believe she has ever once cancelled a booking due to illness, and always gives plenty of notice for holiday dates.
Kas took time to develop a close relationship with Holly, and Holly has come to know and trust her so well. In Holly’s younger years, when we were working hard on her obedience training, Kas even took the initiative to learn some of the training moves and commands we were using and then worked with Holly to enhance these when she was out walking her.
Kas has always been quick to report if she has had any concerns about Holly’s health or wellbeing. Holly is now very elderly so does not walk far, and Kas is sensitive to this and gives Holly wonderful care.
Holly has always been very happy to go out walking with Kas and we have had absolute peace of mind knowing that Kas would be attending to her needs on that one day per week when she is home alone. We are very sad to be losing Kas’s service now that she is relocating, but I have no hesitation in recommending her excellent service to anyone who may be looking for a dog walker.”
“Winnie (Kas) has looked after our dogs Lily and Vincent for twelve years and during this time we have all come to regard her as a friend. Lily and Vincent always look forward to her visits. When younger they enjoyed the games played with them and as they grew older were equally content to snuggle up to her for a bit of quality time and affection. Although we always had regular visits because of our work commitments, Winnie has always been happy to fit in ad hoc visits for special circumstances and go above and beyond what we could normally have expected in order to ensure the well-being of our pets. We would not hesitate to recommend her services.”
“I first used Moggies and Muttlies last year when my neighbour, who usually looks after my cat Ellie when I am away, was unable to do it. Kas came to my house to make sure that both my cat and I were happy with her before agreeing to come and cat sit. She was happy to fit round our arrangements and to visit twice a day to feed/fuss/play with Ellie. She even brought Ellie a blue toy mouse to play with. My cat seemed content so when I needed someone again at short notice I contacted Moggies and Muttlies to do this. My neighbour has once again taken over looking after my cat when I am away but I wouldn’t hesitate to use Kas and Moggies and Muttlies if I needed her. It is a pity that she is moving away.”
“Kas has looked after my cats for several years and has been warm, caring & reliable. She is someone who will spend quality time with the animals, really noticing how they are and giving regular updates on how they are should you require it. I have found that to be a comfort when I’ve been away. I lost one of my cats last summer and she took the time to be with me when my cat was put to sleep. Her presence was very reassuring. I know my cats adore her because we have become friends and whenever she comes to the house to see me, they go straight over to her and it’s clear that the relationship she has with them is a good one. We will miss her terribly when she leaves the area, but anyone who has animals in her care will discover that their animals will be well looked after. Also, she always leaves the house and feeding areas really clean which makes a difference! “
“Carol has looked after Cleo(catra) since she was a tiny kitten. We couldn’t have asked for a better service, from easy quick communication to the kindness and love she shows our pampered puss. We will miss Carol greatly, not only looking after Cleo but our chats too. “
“I always feel confident leaving my cat , Harry, in Kas’s capable hands when I go on holiday. I can relax while I’m away knowing that he’s happy and safe at home. Kas is great with him and I get back to a happy moggy.”
“We met Kas 3 years ago after getting our kittens, Milk & Oreo. As our first pets, leaving them for the first time was so hard, but Kas made everything so much easier as we had regular updates from her and the girls, which meant we didn’t have to worry about them at all. From our first initial meeting, we felt extremely comfortable with Kas and confident she was the right person to look after our cats, due to her professional but caring nature. As our girls are extremely shy, introducing someone new was difficult, but they soon warmed to Kas and will now greet her at the door when she comes around to visit. The passion she has for her job is very clear and we couldn’t imagine anyone else looking after our cats. Thank you!!”
“CKas from Moggies and Muttlies has been looking after our cats for over 10 years and we cannot recommend her highly enough. Kas is always very professional and has always been very trustworthy. She has built a lovely relationship with each cat and always sees each animal as an individual.”
