Hi there! I am a fully qualified Veterinary Nurse (7 years of nursing experience), Dog Trainer and lover of animals. This animal love affair started as soon as I could walk, I was trying to connect with any animal I could find. Everything from dogs, cats, birds, horses to rats and reptiles - there aren't many animals that I haven't cared for.

I offer over a decade of working experience handling and nursing all types of animals professionally. I can confidently administer medication and apply first aid, establish and follow training regimes and nutrition plans. In my time as a nurse and for several years after, I was also actively working as a dog trainer, and have written and conducted my own puppy training course for several years. I am very active and outdoorsy (I am a yoga instructor and aerial silks enthusiast), and would love to spend some quality time with your furry friend at the beach or park (I live right next to both). Want your pup to learn to walk on the lead without learning bad habits but don't have the time it takes? I can help. Have an active dog who's dying to get to the beach? I'm your woman.

I realise that our pets' needs are as unique as ours, and I will tailor my time to suit his or her individual needs. My walk fee includes a long (full hour) walk at the beach or the park. If you have a dog that is not great with other dogs, I am happy to take them to quieter areas. If you have a particularly athletic (or studious) pup, I am happy to discuss extended excercise/training rates. Does your pup have a particular toy or treat that they love? I can bring it along and factor it into their walk/play time. My home visit fee gives your furry friend a full 30 minutes (or 60 minutes for the twice daily option) of quality time, in which I can feed, water, medicate, worm, tick check, play with, cuddle, massage, chat or sing to your pet. Whatever makes them feel safe, sound and satisfied while you're not there.

Have questions? Please feel free to get in touch - I'd love to hear from you.
