Since October 2011 I have been providing a professional, reliable, and trustworthy dog walking service. It is a delight to spend time with a variety of dogs, to see them socialise and have fun with other dogs, to gain their trust, to learn their characteristics and see each one enjoy themselves just as much as I enjoy being in the great outdoors.

Dog walking has enabled me to combine family life, enjoyment of the outdoors, physical exercise, and my love of dogs…it’s a perfect match; even when the weather is cold and wet, and the fields thick with mud, I would still rather be outdoors walking dogs than inside! My professional background pre-children was in Customer and Operational Services; the skills I developed there remain with me in my current business.

I grew up with dogs and as we started our own family unit, have had the pleasure of continuing to bless the family with more canine friends. Winston our black lab is sadly missed, and Kenzo our current delight, is a Springer Spaniel keeping us very much on our toes.

My character, patience, love & joy are founded in Jesus Christ. I am an active member of our local church and feel privileged to work within God’s creation.

If you’d like to take some daily inspiration, try `Paws for thought`.

I am concerned for the wider global community, and commit to giving away £1 in every £10 income. We have two sponsored children in Haiti who are supported through the work of the local church, backed-up by Compassion UK. Our donations help the individual and their family. I also support ‘Sports friends’ who take the gospel to remote areas of the world, and help to turn neighbourhoods around from despair to hope, through setting up sports coaching and thereby getting alongside members of the community.

In March 2020 I successfully completed a Dog First Aid course (certificate), an extremely enlightening and useful course which has equipped me with skills and knowledge to respond to emergency canine situations.

In June 2018 I attended the national dog behaviour conference run by Victoria Stillwell (certificate). It was a very interesting weekend packed full of really useful information that I have been able to bring back into our daily work, benefitting us and our four-legged friends. I am currently studying the Level Three ‘Learning, Motivation and Reinforcement’ course with the Institute of Modern Dog Trainers.
