About Me/ Company

Dogs are and have always been my number one love! I have owned and loved a number of dogs, most recently my wonderful Springer Spaniel, Obi, and now that I have sold my childcare agency, I am returning to my previous work as a regular dog walker.

I have been running a nanny agency since returning from Africa, where I worked at a charity providing vital support for street dogs (see my photos), but have very much missed the close contact with dogs that I had previously.

Dogs are simply my passion. I can not walk past a dog without stopping for a fuss. I will not run a large pet care business and will guarantee that it will be me and only me who walks and cares for your dog, forming a great bond and ensuring the dog is 100% safe and getting the most out of our long walks in the woods and countryside.

Previous Experience

I ran my own similar dog walking business approximately 10 years ago, and had a number of dogs in my regular walking diary, including a St Bernard, Jack Russell, 2 very over weight cocker spaniels (who did not remain over weight for long), a labradoodle, a lurcher, a couple of labradors, and a handful of happy mutts of no specific breeds.

And of course I had my wonderful Springer who enjoyed every walk I went on and had a wonderful time with all his friends.

I also recently spent 6 months volunteering in West Africa for a charity called Bons Amigos, where I provided care of street dogs, and helped oversee a programme of castration locally (see my photos). I wrote an article on my experiences here which can be found at http://content.yudu.com/Library/A18njg/K9MagazineSummer2009/resources/53.htm

Qualifications & Training

NA, though I have full insurance for dog walking purposes.

Relevant Info

If you are looking for a very personal yet professional service, with the same person caring for your dog each day then I would gladly help, so please get in touch.

Other Services

Although I am predominently looking to care for dogs, I would happily feed and care for cats (I have 3 cats myself and love them to bits) and other small pets (I have experience with hampsters, guinee pigs, rabbits, parrots and chickens), as well as any duties around the house if providing holiday cover (watering plants and so on).
