I'm originally from Suffolk and was born in 1980. After living in England, Scotland and Germany with a Military dad, I came back to England at 14. I've lived in Leeds since I was 16. I am a mum of two adults.
My daughter sometimes comes to see the dogs if she's not at work and all the dogs love her. She is fully insured under the business

My daughter sometimes comes to see the dogs if she's not at work and all the dogs love her. She is fully insured under the business to help make sure the dogs get their ear scratches!
I've always loved animals. Especially growing up with a wonderful Bearded
Collie called Cindy.
After working in health care and also customer relations, I finally, in my mid thirties realised I wanted to work with dogs and be my own boss. And in 2014, I did just that.
I love being outdoors and spending time with other people's dogs. They're my extra dog I have to give back!
So if you’re trying to find a dog walker or cat sitting service, please be assured your pets will be treated like one of my own.

These four resident Hairy Howlers are the reason this whole adventure started.
I had three at the time. Two rescues and one from a puppy. And a year later came dog number four who is also a rescue.
I wanted a way to spend more time with them and to be closer to home.
And so I started my journey to become an insured, experienced dog walker,

I wanted a way to spend more time with them and to be closer to home.
And so I started my journey to become an insured, experienced dog walker, offering pet care in the local and surrounding areas.
They are getting on in age now and three have retired from being working sled dogs. The last rescue has never worked, due to having a heart condition.

All dogs are transported in a safe and secure van, adapted to make the journey as comfortable as possible.
March 2024, I invested in a smaller van, which is far more economic to run.
It is fitted with a large double DT Box with central divider. This can comfortably accommodate a German Shepherd size dog either side.
Then there are 1 up 1 do

Then there are 1 up 1 down medium sized cages accessible via the side door.
In the interest of safety for all, dogs travel one dog per cage and are never loose in the van.
We have on board an electric dog shower in the muddier times, lots of towels, drying coats, fresh drinking water. And some yummy treats for after a walk, where dogs are permitted to have one.
I am insured to walk dog and take them in the van for their adventures.
