My passion, not just a job

Looking after animals has never just been a job for me, it’s something I genuinely love to do. I started this to step away from the corporate world and focus on something that truly makes me happy, while also helping local pet owners feel completely at ease.

I’ve always been a people person (and definitely an animal person too!), and with over 20 years’ experience caring for animals, often being the go-to for friends and family, it means a lot to be able to give both pets and owners that peace of mind. I’m also lucky to have a supportive, animal-loving partner who is on hand to help out when needed.

I’m DBS checked, fully insured (including pet business liability and hire & reward car insurance), and hold a Pet First Aid Certificate, so you can feel confident your pets are in safe, capable hands.

A personal touch for every paw

What makes my approach different is how personal it is! I take the time to really get to know each pet, their routine, personality, and little quirks, so they feel relaxed, comfortable, and see a familiar face every time. It’s all about treating each pet like they’re my own, with plenty of care, attention, and no rushing. I’ll also complete a quick form and keep it updated as I get to know your pet even better.

I keep you regularly updated with pupdates throughout walks or visits, so you always know how they’re getting on and can feel completely at ease. I’ll also always let you know when your pooch has been safely returned home.

Building trust is really important to me, with both you and your pet. For extra peace of mind, I also have a close friend who is a Registered Veterinary Nurse, so professional advice is always on hand if needed.

Meet Moose: our three-legged wonder pup

A few years ago, I rescued my three-legged wonder pup, Moose. My friend, who is a vet, told me this gorgeous spaniel puppy had been brought in, not chipped, no owner came forward and had unfortunately been hit by a car, which led to the removal of one of his back legs. Once he was stable and confident, we were able to take him home and he became our cherished fur baby. He is incredibly social but can be quite nervous on walks, especially in areas with cars, so we're used to tailoring his walks and even hiring fields to ensure he’s 100% comfortable. He's now a big brother to our one-year-old, and watching their bond develop has been truly magical. Moose’s story is a constant reminder of why I do what I do – every animal deserves love, care, and a safe environment tailored to their needs.
