Who are Hairy Howlers Hikes?
Hi I'm Emma
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. And nanny to an amazing little one born in March 2025

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. And nanny to an amazing little one born in March 2025
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.

Resident Hairy Howlers
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,
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, offering pet care in the local and surrounding areas.
Sadly we lost Kai on 4th July 2025, aged 13yrs and 8 months. And then tragically, just four months later we lost Indy, 8th November 2025, aged 14. It's been a massive loss to the whole household. Though I take comfort in knowing they had 12 and 12.5yrs with us, seeing them through to old age.

All dogs are transported in a safe and secure van, adapted to make the journey as comfortable as possible.
I am on my 3rd and hopefully final van, as of August 2025. A berlingo crew van. A 2 up 2 down DT BOXES cage system in the rear. But if more space is needed, the back seats fold down and the mesh bulkhead slides forward, giving room to
All dogs are transported in a safe and secure van, adapted to make the journey as comfortable as possible.
I am on my 3rd and hopefully final van, as of August 2025. A berlingo crew van. A 2 up 2 down DT BOXES cage system in the rear. But if more space is needed, the back seats fold down and the mesh bulkhead slides forward, giving room to add at least one more crate.
The van is air conditioned and I have DT BOXES fans clipped on the cages, that offer both extra ventilation and lighting. The van is alarmed and armed when collecting and dropping off group dogs.
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 dogs and take them in the van for their adventures.
