A Little About Me
Hi, I’m Victoria, the founder of Palmers Pooches.
Before stepping into the world of dog walking and pet care, I spent almost ten years working as a domiciliary carer. That experience shaped my compassionate, reliable approach and taught me the importance of trust, responsibility, and truly understanding individual needs.
Palmers Pooches was born in the summer of 2016 following the heartbreaking loss of our American Bulldog Taz. During that time, I noticed a big change in Holly our German Shepherd–Collie cross, which opened my eyes to just how deeply animals feel loss and change. It was then that I decided to follow my passion and dedicate my working life to caring for animals.
I understand first-hand the challenges of modern life — long working hours, shift patterns, and busy schedules — and how difficult it can be to balance everything while ensuring your pets receive the care they deserve.
More recently, I expanded into pet sitting after a client asked for help finding suitable care for their dogs while they were away. That request inspired me to offer in-home pet sitting, allowing pets to stay in their familiar surroundings, comfortable, relaxed, and cared for as if they were my own.
We offer a variety of professional pet care services designed to support you and keep your pet’s happy, safe, and well cared for.
Dog Walking
(1hr group walk) Enjoy complete peace of mind with our reliable dog walking services. I ensure your dog receives the exercise, mental stimulation, and care they need when you’re unable to be there.
From relaxed countryside strolls to energetic, adventure-filled walks, each outing is tailored to suit your dog’s needs, age, and energy level. Every walk is designed to keep your dog happy, healthy, and content — and eagerly looking forward to their next adventure.
Pet Visits
(up to 30 minutes)
Our convenient pop-in cat visit service is perfect for giving your feline friend some care and companionship while you’re away or busy. Whether it’s feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter trays, carrying out a welfare check, or simply spending some quiet time together, I’m here to help.
Each visit is carried out with your cat’s comfort in mind, allowing them to stay relaxed in their own familiar surroundings while receiving gentle attention and care — giving you complete peace of mind.
Pet Sitting
Enjoy complete peace of mind with our trusted in-home dog sitting service. Your dog can remain in the comfort of their own home, with me there to care for them while you’re away.
Staying in familiar surroundings helps many dogs feel calmer and more settled. I do my utmost to maintain your dog’s usual routine, from feeding times to walks and bedtime habits, so they feel safe, relaxed, and happy. It’s a holiday for your dog too — with the added reassurance that your home is also being looked after.
Wedding Service
Make your special day even more memorable with our bespoke wedding dog service. I provide professional, attentive care for your dog, ensuring they are well looked after and included in your celebrations.
From safe handling and transportation to scheduled toilet breaks, companionship, and on-the-day care, every detail is thoughtfully managed. I ensure your dog remains calm, comfortable, and photo-ready throughout your big day — so you can relax and enjoy every moment.

Transport
Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priority when travelling. I use a Peugeot Expert van fitted with a bespoke cage conversion, with each individual section featuring its own escape hatch.

My Reviews
Highly recommended Victoria and Palmers Pooches. She has been walking Darcy on an irregular basis to fit around my work commitments, often at very short notice and has always been accommodating. Darcy has loved his walks and I love the photos she puts up afterwards on Facebook. As I see how good a time he has had.
Carolyn Saunders

Jess Parker
Very trustworthy and our dog has an amazing time and is treated just like her own.
Claire Bailey
I can highly recommend Victoria and Palmers Pooches. She is amazing and always puts the fur babies first and ensures they are safe in her care. She has looked after our old Newfoundland Freya 
and is now walking our new rescue Newfie Torvi on an irregular basis. Victoria is very helpful and managed to fit around my work commitments, often at very short notice, and has always been very accommodating. Torvi loves her walks and I love the photos and videos she puts up afterwards as I see just what a good time she has had with her furry friends. Thank you Victoria 
Bernice Roberts
We can’t thank Victoria enough for looking after our boys and not forgetting our cat. We cant recommend her enough
Andrew Wallis
Highly recommended Victoria, she is so fantastic with my dogs. She walks them regularly for me, despite them being quiet nervous dogs they enjoy every walk with her. Victoria also looked after my dogs at my home late last year, I did not worry once about anything. The dogs loved having her there. Friendly, reliable and 100% trustworthy.
