Therapy With a Tail and a Whole Lot of Heart

At Spotty Paws Co, we believe in the magic of connection — the kind that comes with a wagging tail, a soft nudge, and a few joyful spots. We’re a therapy dog business based around our much-loved Dalmatian, Mavis, who visits organisations, schools, hospices, care homes, and more — spreading comfort, calm and happiness wherever she goes.

Our Story

Spotty Paws Co was founded by Sarah — Mavis’s ever-devoted companion and care-giver (though let’s be honest, Mavis is clearly the boss). Sarah has always had a passion for doing things a little differently. With a lifelong love of animals and people, she just didn’t know how those two passions would one day collide — until they did.

The idea for Spotty Paws Co was born from a personal experience: sitting in a hospice with Mavis by her side, Sarah saw first-hand the peace, warmth and quiet joy that a dog’s presence could bring. That moment stuck — and has shaped everything since.

From that day forward, the mission became clear: bring comfort, laughter, and a little light relief to people in all kinds of settings. And to do it with authenticity, compassion, and a wagging tail.

Where We Go & What We Do

We offer professional animal-assisted therapy visits to:

• 🏥 Hospices & healthcare settings

• 🏡 Residential & care homes

• 🏫 Schools & SEND environments

• 💼 Workplaces & wellbeing programmes

Whether it’s a quiet visit to a hospital room, a fun drop-in at a school, or a morale boost for your team — Mavis adapts beautifully to the space and the people in it.

While we offer standard therapy wellness visits, we know that not every setting or individual is the same — so if you have something a little different in mind, please just reach out. Sarah is a big believer in tailoring each experience to what you need.

Still New — But Full of Heart 💛

We’re a growing small business, still finding our feet (and paws), and we’re so grateful for every bit of support. Mavis is always ready to give that love right back — with enthusiasm, affection, and a little sparkle of mischief.

Whether you’re looking to support your staff’s mental health, brighten up a classroom, or bring joy to someone in care, we’re here for it — and Mavis is ready to roll.
