I’ve been around animals my whole life and have looked after everything from chickens and lizards to snails and Muscovy ducks! My love for animals led me to start my own dog walking and pet sitting business, which I ran for over three years. I also worked as a veterinary care assistant for more than two years, where I gained hands-on experience with medication, post-op care, and supporting animals during recovery. I’ve walked dogs of all shapes, sizes, and personalities—including reactive and nervous pups. I usually offer one-on-one walks to give each dog my full attention, but if your dog enjoys some company, I can carefully match them with a suitable walking buddy and do a trial run to make sure they get along. A lot of the dogs I care for are full of energy and very well-trained, so I’ve learned to strike a good balance between being calm and in control while still making walks fun and engaging. I’m also very confident working with anxious or reactive dogs and always take things at their pace to help them feel safe and secure. Right now, I’m home full-time, so I’ve got lots of time to give your pet all the love, play, and care they need. I’m really passionate about animal behaviour and training, and I’m currently enrolling on courses to build on what I already know and learn even more. As well as walking, I also offer pet and house sitting, so your pet can stay relaxed in their own space while you’re away. I’ve completed a pet behaviour course and love helping with basic training and socialisation too.
