YOUR PET DESERVES SOMEONE YOU TRUST
The Wags & Whiskers Way
Wags & Whiskers provides premium dog walking, pet sitting, home visits, house sitting and dog training across Derby and surrounding areas.
Welcome to the Wags n Whiskers world, where professional pet enthusiasts provide your pets with truly premium care.
From the very beginning, Alice has led the business with a strong focus on attention to detail and genuine respect for every client’s needs and requirements for their furry family members.
Alice launched Wags n Whiskers in April 2024 after stepping away from her corporate role of five years, following a challenging period with her health. That turning point allowed her to build something more meaningful, rooted in care, trust, and compassion.
With an authentic lifelong love for animals, Alice previously worked in a busy veterinary practice where she gained hands-on experience in animal handling, pet first aid, client communication, and dispensing medication through an in-house pharmacy.
What began as a one-woman business has since grown into a diverse and passionate team, whose individual strengths complement one another. This allows us to maintain in-depth, up-to-date knowledge across the industry and consistently deliver a high standard of care.
We mainly cover Derby, Nottingham, and surrounding areas, offering dog walks, home visits, house sitting, training, enrichment group sessions, and wedding chaperone services.
We can’t wait to welcome you as our newest client. Please get in touch to book your complimentary meet and greet.
