Walking in wonderful Derbyshire
Our guests get walked twice everyday
We take exercise very seriously
All dogs are walked depending on their needs, so young fit dogs get longer faster walks than old dogs who get slower sniffy shorter walks
We can walk the dogs in the wonderful woodland behind our house which leads to the Lumsdale falls and stepping stones with lots of chances for a swim or paddle for dogs who like to play in water.

Hello everyone,
I’m a 21 year old Dog walker and pet sitter who has had a true passion for dogs from a young age.
I’ve worked hard to get to where I am today having my own business from May 2019 and working alongside Abi.
Working for Abi allowed my business to expand and grow and it truly is a dream job filled with lots of love, happiness and opportunity.
I have currently completed my Dog walking/Pet sitting, Canine Communication, Veterinary Support Assistant and Pet First Aid Diplomas and I am currently studying my Photography, Pet Psychology, Pet Physiotherapy , Introductory Dog training, and Dog Grooming Diplomas. I dream to be as successful as Abi one day with many strings to my bow. They say you’ve fount your dream job when you don’t feel like your going to work, so I must be where I am meant to be. The future is looking so bright with paw prints by my side.

I love being out in the fresh air of the countryside and have been a massive animal lover from a very young age, it's all I lived for, from domestic animals like cats, rabbits, guinea pigs to wild animals and horses which I have worked with for many years.
By far my biggest love of all is dogs, because of their individual personalities and for the love, loyalty and companionship they give you unconditionally
I have owned a variety of dogs over the past 25 years, I have loved them all and wouldn't be with out them, during those years I've had Staffies, Boxers and cross breeds and cannot imagine being without a dog of some sort.
I have three dogs at the moment, Badger my Patterdale cross and two Boston Terriers Macy and Martha.
I am currently doing the kennel club good citizen dog scheme with my dogs. I have also done dog agility and dog showing.
I have worked with dogs at a boarding kennels for the last 10 years which has been the best job ever, this has given me experience with caring for all types of breeds and helped me become familiar with the various quirks and personalities of the breeds, looking after their day to day needs, along with feeding, exercise, medical issues and daily health care requirements of each dog in my care.
