Previous Experience

I have always been an animal lover, and surrounded by pets of all shapes and sizes.



I have two cats and two dogs of my own, who are very much loved and spoilt!



I have owned three horses and worked professionally for many years with competition and privately owned horses.



Over the last decade I have been working indoors and have missed being out and about. That’s when I decided to take my passion for animals and create my own service.



I am doing what I love, looking after the animals that give me so much joy.



Starting with the walking, I aim to continue to expand my passion to other areas such as becoming dog behaviour practitioner.



I am currently studying as a Canine Behaviourist at the British College of Canine Studies.

Other Services

As a professional dog walkers we understand all dogs need to be exercised in body and mind. I will therefore take your dog or puppy to a variety of places so that they can experience new sights and smells helping to enrich their daily exercise. For peace of mind, all dogs will be kept on a leash until recall has been suitably established and dogs will be allowed off the leash with written consent.



Our walks can be arranged to suit your individual requirements. Dog Walking is arranged this way so you can choose the walk that best suits your dog - an hour walk for a smaller or older dog could be too much for example. I can also help you with recall and loose leash walking on an individual basis, and only use positive training reward methods.



Group walks are also available. These social walks will allow your dog to make new friends and have a social experience. This is great for socialisation of all dogs, not just puppies. A maximum of four dogs will be walked at any one time to ensure we can provide our best care and attention. For the more 'discerning' (not grumpy!) dog, I am happy to walk your dog individually or in his/her family 'pack' only.

Pet sitting - Home Pet Care

Some pets are not suited to go to Kennels, a Cattery or similar whilst you go away overnight or on a short break or holiday.

Your pet may be less stressed by staying at home and in familiar surrounds, I therefore offer a competitive service that includes cleaning out, daily for litter trays etc, feeding and cuddles!

Not Just For Paws...!

Besides dogs and cats I also take care of a range of other animals such as birds, fish, rabbits, guinea pigs and much more.

Please get in touch if you have any questions or would like to book.
