About Me/ Company
HI, I'M MORAG MONTGOMERY AND I HAVE BEEN A DOGWALKER NOW FOR 6 YEARS AND REALLY ENJOY IT. I USED TO HELP MY FRIEND WHO RUNS A DOGWALKING BUSINESS AND LOVED IT SO MUCH, I STARTED MY OWN BUSINESS, PAWS FOR THOUGHT, AND HAVE NEVER LOOKED BACK! I WORK IN THE PENICUIK AND ROSLIN AREAS, IN MIDLOTHIAN, JUST OUTSIDE EDINBURGH.
WE HAVE BEAUTIFUL WALKS IN THIS PART OF THE COUNTRY, INCLUDING PENICUIK HOUSE ESTATE, ROSLIN GLEN, AND THE OLD RAILWAY WALK BETWEEN PENICUIK AND ROSEWELL. ALL OF THE DOGS GET ON REALLY WELL AND ARE GREAT FRIENDS AND ALWAYS ENJOY A GOOD CHASE ROUND THE FIELD, OR CHASING STICKS, BALLS, ETC.
I PROVIDE A PICK UP AND DELIVERY SERVICE TO AND FROM THE DOGS HOMES AND RETURN THEM WELL EXERCISED, HAPPY AND CALM. YOUR DOGS WILL BE WELL DRIED, HAVE THEIR WATER REPLENISHED AND CUDDLED BEFORE I LEAVE!
I TAKE DOGS OUT IN GROUPS OF NO MORE THAN 4 AT A TIME AND IF THERE ARE MORE THAN THIS, I HAVE PEOPLE ON HAND TO HELP ME. I PROVIDE DOG WALKING, AND HOUSE SITTING SERVICES AT THE OWNERS HOUSES, SHOULD THEY WISH, AS A LOT OF DOGS ARE MUCH HAPPIER IN THEIR OWN SURROUNDINGS, AND HELPS THEM SETTLE BETTER WHILE THEIR OWNERS ARE AWAY ON HOLIDAY.
Previous Experience
HELPING MY FRIEND LORRAINE, WHO RUNS A DOGWALKING BUSINESS IN A DIFFERENT AREA OF SCOTLAND TO ME. I WOULD HELP WALK THE DOGS, AND GET THEM SOCIALISED.
ALSO I HELPED HER WITH ANY HOUSE AND DOG SITTING JOBS WHICH WERE AVAILABLE FROM TIME TO TIME AND GOT TO KNOW SOME OF HER CLIENTS AND THEIR DOGS.
Qualifications & Training
PRACTICAL HANDS ON EXPERIENCE AND GAINING KNOWLEDGE OF THE VARIOUS DOGS I HAVE WORKED WITH, INCLUDING QUITE A FEW PROBLEM DOGS WITH VERY DIFFERENT NEEDS, WHICH AFTER A LOT OF HARD WORK AND ONE TO ONE ATTENTION, BECAME MUCH HAPPIER DOGS AND ABLE TO SOCIALISE WITH THE REST OF THE PACK.
HAVE HAD A LOT OF SUCCESS WITH THIS TYPE OF WORK AND IS SOMETHING WHICH I ENJOY AND AM ALWAYS UP FOR A NEW CHALLENGE!
Relevant Info
HAVE MANAGED TO LOSE 3 STONE SINCE STARTING DOGWALKING AND ENJOY KEEPING FIT AND BEING OUTDOORS WITH THE DOGS!
