Me with my own dogs; 

Ghillie (Border Terrier), Benson (Lurcher) 

and Tess (Bedlington X Whippet).

About Me.....

I am most definitely a 'pet person' and have been lucky enough to have owned or been around animals for pretty much as long as I can remember. From cats, dogs, horses, chickens, rabbits, guinea pigs, fish, a tortoise, two bee hives and a corn snake! Even family holidays growing up were spent on a farm where we got to be hands on.

I have lived in Warren Row since 2007 with my husband and our various animals, currently 3 dogs, 1 cat and 5 chickens. 

I never tire of the fantastic walks around the area and there are still footpaths we've yet to explore.

Owning dogs has led me into various associated hobbies and interests. I attend training classes every week and compete in agility.

I love learning new skills and activities with all three of my dogs, providing them with variety in both their physical and mental stimulation.

I completely understand how important and individual pets are and that is why I will care for yours like one of the family.

My aim is to provide a reputable dog walking and pet care service, one with the same high standards that I would expect from anyone looking after my own animals.
