Meet The Team

Gentle hearts. Calm paws. Trusted companions.

At Pause with Paws, our dogs are not performers or props - they are carefully supported wellbeing companions.
Each dog is chosen for their calm temperament, sociability and love of gentle connection, and their welfare always comes first.

All interactions are consent-based, with dogs free to rest, move away or take breaks at any time.

This creates safer, more meaningful experiences for both people and paws.

ROSIE

Rosie has a natural gift for lifting spirits. She is deeply people-focused and seems to instinctively know when someone needs a smile.

She enjoys gentle interaction, eye contact and being close to people, often choosing to sit nearby and observe before engaging. Rosie’s calm, affectionate nature makes her especially well suited to emotional wellbeing sessions, where her presence alone often brings comfort and lightness.

Rosie has been part of emotional wellbeing sessions since she was a puppy.

MINI

Mini is the embodiment of calm.

Her favourite place in the world is curled up on a lap, fast asleep, enjoying gentle tickles and reassurance.

She is perfectly suited to quiet, soothing interactions and is often drawn to people who need grounding or a moment of rest.

Mini’s ability to fully relax during sessions helps participants feel safe to slow down too.

Mini has been making people smile at wellbeing sessions since she was a puppy and loves the sessions as much as the humans.

JAKE

Jake is the lapdog of the group and thrives on close, comforting connection. He loves being held or sitting snugly beside someone, offering steady companionship without needing constant attention.

His affectionate and steady presence makes him a favourite for those who benefit from physical closeness and reassurance, always on his own terms and with consent.

Jake has been part of emotional wellbeing sessions since he was a puppy and has made some beautiful connections along the way.

PADDINGTON

Paddington is soft, curious and affectionate.

Still young, he brings a playful warmth while remaining calm and responsive in wellbeing settings.

He particularly enjoys lap time and gentle strokes, always on his own terms. If he's not getting tickles then he's usually playing with toys or his family.

He loves to bring humans a toy as a sign of his affection and he never fails to make people smile.

He especially loves the younger and older generations and is a real cheeky character.
