A Little About Myself and the team

555_9842-20.jpg

Since I was young, I’ve always loved animals and have had a natural affinity for them. I grew up on a farm and have always had a vast array of animals around me. From cats and dogs of all breeds to sheep, cows, and horses, I have never been without animals. My son, Barnaby, and husband, Chaz, are also part of the team and can be found with the dogs in the day centre.

I love to be outdoors and relish joining in with the dogs’ adventures. I can often be found in the sea or rivers with them in the summer and playing in the mud with them in winter. I have always used natural horsemanship with my ponies, and a lot of this is transferred to my leadership with the dogs.

I began Walking Woofs in 2016 as a way to help support my family. Little did I know that it would be the roaring success that it is or that it would develop into a proper family business that we are very proud of. We even had Clare Balding join us on a walk for her BBC Radio 4 show. In March 2020, my husband joined us full-time to run our day centre, and in 2022 we won the Prestige Business Awards for Best Dog Care Service in the South of England and Best Dog Walking Company in the Southwest. We were also finalists in the Pet Industry Federation Awards for Best Home Boarding Nationwide, making the top five. We continue to be nominated for, and win, awards, for which we are truly grateful.

I have a passion for learning, and in early 2018 I started studying Canine Psychology, receiving my diploma in January 2019. In May 2018, I passed my canine first aid training, which I keep updated with yearly courses. In early 2019, I passed my Canine Communication diploma. Dogs, however, really are the best teachers, but my learning has continued, and continues, through various courses. I passed my Canine Parkour Trainer training in 2021, and I continue learning all the time.

In 2024, we moved our business to our current home, Milton Farm. We are really proud of the facilities we have here.

I have the opportunity to share my love and joy of animals with my clients and pet owners in the East Devon area. I hope I get the chance to meet your lovely pet soon and take them on some of our adventures. Please take a look at our Facebook page, where you will see many pictures and videos of our outings.
