About Us
Hello!
Thank you for visiting our website.
So where do I start about us? Well, I'm Hayley and I have a huge heart for animals and children.
I always wanted to work with dogs and children. So firstly, I gained high qualifications in childcare, during this time I had my two children.
Then in 2020 we moved to St Ives and that is where I created 'Hayley's Active Paws and stays!'
After doing research and talking to the local community I found that there is gap for my business dream! Amazing!
Since moving here in late August 2020, I started to put together a business plan and became a member of NARPsUK where I was able to complete a course on Pet sitting, dog walking business course including canine & feline first aid in which time I have the necessary paperwork, welcome packs and adapted my house and garden to meet local authority guidelines.
In 2024 my husband (Nick) joined my business and we then expanded into 2 separate businesses in 2026. I am proud to maintain five stars from the animal welfare team.
I am
proud to provide a safe and loving home to your dog/s while you are away giving you piece of mind your dog/s are being loved and care for just how they are when they are at their own home.
