About Us
We are a small family run business located in Worsley. Founded and run by myself, Danielle, together with my Husband Lee, Brother Aidan and a small roster of trusted individuals, we provide dog walking, sitting and boarding in the M28 and surrounding areas.
We pride ourselves on finding the perfect matches for your canine friends. We carefully assess your dogs personality and behaviours, and whether its finding them their new best friends on their daily or weekly walks with us or finding them the perfect boarder, we are here to help.
Not only do we love dogs, but all our walkers and boarders are fully trained, insured and DBS checked.
We treat your pets like family and you can be rest assured your dog is in reliable and caring hands here with us at Very Important Poochies AKA VIPoochies.
