I've have had dogs in my life for more than 20 years. Growing up, I had four family dogs, including a rescue dog from Dogs Trust and a retired ex-racing Greyhound. Caring for dogs with different personalities, backgrounds and needs gave me a great understanding of how important patience, routine and trust are in helping dogs feel happy and secure. Alongside my love of dogs, I've always been passionate about horses. I owned and competed three horses of my own before going on to work professionally on a busy equestrian yard. This experience taught me responsibility, attention to detail and the importance of providing the highest standard of care for animals. Today, I have two Cockapoos who are at the centre of my world. Life revolves around them, from daily countryside walks and adventures to dog-friendly holidays where they join us for long walks and exploring new places. They are very much part of the family and I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else's care. One of my Cockapoos is reactive, which has given me extensive hands-on experience working with dogs who need a little extra understanding and support. I've worked closely with a number of professional dog trainers and have spent a lot of time learning about canine behaviour, body language and positive training methods. This is something I'm particularly passionate about and continue to learn more about every day. I will always treat your dog as if they were my own, ensuring they receive plenty of attention, care, exercise and affection while they're with me.
