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.

I have worked with Abi and the Oaksedge team for around 6 years. I am a 25-year-old Dog (and all-round animal) lover since a very young age, for as long as I can remember really.
I’ve worked hard to get to where I am today, and every bit of success is for my little girl, Elsie and my beautiful dog Hope. I started with my own dog walking and pet sitting business back in 2019, took a short break to accomplish my Class 2 HGV license and maternity and I am so glad to be back working in the most rewarding job there is.
Working for Abi allowed my business to expand and grow and now I fully work for Abi caring for the dogs, working in the office and caring for some of the rescue animals where needed.
I have currently completed my Dog walking/Pet sitting, Canine Communication, Veterinary Support Assistant ,Pet First Aid , photography, pet psychology, pet nutrition, pet physiotherapy and introductory dog trainer certificate diplomas as well as my emergency canine care course. I am due to be starting my dog training accreditation in February to add another string to my bow and to hopefully be able to offer it as a service one day. They say you’ve fount your dream job when you don’t feel like you're going to work, so I must be where I am meant to be.

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 four dogs at the moment, Badger my Patterdale cross and three Boston Terriers Macy, Wilma 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 also am pet first aid trained including brachycephalic specific breeds.
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.
