About Me/ Company

I am a responsible and trustworthy dog lover living in Dulwich, southeast London. Dogs and dog walking have been a huge part of my life – I grew up with a Dalmatian, a Pointer and seven (!) Welsh Springer Spaniels in Sheffield, and later looked after a Doberman and three Whippets. I therefore have experience of caring for dogs of all ages, sizes and energy levels. I am also strong and experienced enough to be able to cope with more than one energetic dog at once.

That said, I’m NOT looking to round up a huge group of people’s pooches to take out together. I’m offering to take YOUR dog for a walk on its own, although if he/she has a brother/sister/best friend I will of course be happy to take them too! I’m looking to offer a service for an hour or two a day on a regular (every weekday?) basis to someone who perhaps doesn’t have time to give their four-legged friend a big daytime walk due to work or childcare commitments, or who could just use an extra pair of hands.

If that sounds like you, please get in touch!

Previous Experience

I was actually raised by Dalmatians in the 1970s ;-) (See the Gallery!)

My family owned a beautiful English Pointer and an awesome Welsh Springer Spaniel in the 1980s. That had turned into seven Welsh Springer Spaniels by the 1990s after we decided to breed! I helped deliver these pups from their mother, and then helped care for them right through to their ‘senior citizen’ days.

In the 1990s I lived with my brother and his insane, hyper-energetic and but soft-as-a-brush Doberman cross. She’d been abandoned, chained to a post, on the moors outside Sheffield, so he took her home “for the night” while he worked out what to do with her. Fifteen years later she was still there! During that time I helped feed her, I cleaned up after her, I walked her, I walked her, I walked her ... will I ever meet a dog that loved a walk more than Dot? We’ll see!

I now live in Dulwich, southeast London. Living in a houseshare means that, sadly, I have to be dog-free at home. However, I do get to walk my parents’ three lightning-fast whippets when I go back to Sheffield. It would be great if I could do some more dog walking on a more regular basis here in Dulwich.
