About me
I have always loved animals. I grew up with dogs, ponies, rabbits, tortoises, budgies, cockatiels, chickens and ducks. I wanted to be a vet but things got in the way and I worked in the corporate world for many years before deciding it was time to work with animals.
In 2018 I started walking dogs, working with many different breeds and experiencing different behaviours. I wanted to understand why dogs behave the way they do so I could make the walks calmer and more enjoyable. I completed a globally recognised dog training and behaviour diploma and multiple short courses. By applying the skills I learnt the dogs are happier and more relaxed.
Dog walking
Walking adventures
I go to local dog parks, beaches or walk along the bush track or local streets, depending on your dogs needs. Walks may be on or off lead, depending on your requirements.
Dogs are carefully matched so the walk type and speed is appropriate for your dogs needs.
To minimise stress and travel time, I only walk dogs that live in Mosman, and walks often start from a dogs home.
Small groups and friendships
The walks are always in small groups, with a maximum of 3 dogs, so there is lots of time for cuddles and individual attention. The dogs enjoy walking together and are always pleased to see each other.
Why use me?
Meet and greet
I will meet you for a free initial visit to ensure your pet is familiar with me before the first walk. We discuss your requirements, your dogs preferences and routine and you can ask me questions. I also like to discuss medical conditions, your family vet, how your dog walks on lead and their behaviour in the park. I need to confirm your pets vaccinations are up to date.
Peace of mind
I always arrive to walk the dog, at the agreed time. If there is heavy rain or lightening, I will wait until it is safe to walk.
I will take care of your pets as if they are my own, providing lots of love and attention.
You will receive a text message with a photo of your dog on the walk.
Insured
I am fully insured and covered for public liability, loss of keys and care custody and control (liability to animals).
