Highlights
Pet care experience
Small Walker, Big Heart!
Dogs have literally been my whole world. Growing up... I had everything from my mum's sassy little sausage dog to big, bouncy German Shepherds. My proudest moment? Adopting a retired police dog... and at one point, having three large dogs under my roof all at once. I live for the chaos! Love playing, training, talking to them (full conversations, obviously!), and walking them endlessly until their tongues are hanging out. Here's the thing... I'm petite. But walking these big, powerful dogs actually gives me the bravery to explore Leicester properly. Dogs show me pathways and hidden spots I'd never find alone... and in return, I keep them safe, exercised, and happy. Now I'm settled on Vaughan Way, right in the city centre, and I've been loving discovering Abbey Park, the riverside, and every green patch Leicester has to offer. I'd genuinely love for your pup to be my next walking buddy.

I had to leave my dog ( Simba) with Karina quite a lot when I had to work late, she always kept good care of him, played and gave him cuddles :) he was always happy to see her 🤍

Schedule
I'm actually out of work right now, so my schedule is completely open! I'm on this whole healthy self-betterment wave, and honestly, breaking up my day with a good dog walk would be amazing for both of us. Noon or night, I'm totally flexible and happy to fit around your pup's routine. Let's get those tails wagging!

Safety, trust & environment
Safety is literally my number one priority. I've had three large dogs at once, including a retired police dog... so I know how to read their body language and keep them out of trouble. On walks, I stay totally focused on the dog, no phone scrolling, just me and your pup exploring Abbey Park, the riverside, or wherever they love to sniff. I keep them on a lead unless you say otherwise, and I always carry poop bags and water. Honestly, I just want them to feel safe, happy, and completely themselves while you're away.
A typical day
Honestly, I follow the dog's lead. Every pup is so different! Like Simba, he was obsessed with meeting bigger dogs for a proper sniff, so I'd take him to where the big lads were, and we'd hang out while he made friends and I chatted to their owners. Then there's my mum's little sausage dog... she hates walks but desperately needs them for fitness. So I have to get creative, with her I must show lots of excitement, encouragement, and basically be a total cheerleader just to get her around the block! And my favourite? The retired police dog we adopted. So clever. We played hide-and-seek in the woods, did sports games, anything to keep that brilliant brain busy. I'm naturally bubbly and chatty, so I match their energy, whether that's bouncing around like a puppy or just pottering along with an older gent who wants a quiet stroll and some company. I genuinely love both.
