Sarah's Happy-Paws in Derby (Dog walking &Sitting)

Pet care experience

Hello guys! My name is Sarah and I moved back to Derby after travelling in Australia a few years back. I was a dog walker/sitter over there and loved it! I'm a huge dog lover and having had my German Shepherd when I was younger, I realised how much I enjoyed having a best mate and companion by my side. I love all breeds of dogs, whatever their size maybe. I cared for all types dogs, in different locations, young and old - from house/pet sitting, dog walking and administration medication. I realised after gaining the experience, I wanted to continue this service in the UK. I hope to gain even more one on one experience with all types of dogs now I'm back on the UK, as I hope to become a dog walker full-time. My dream is to have my own doggy cafe/day-care business, as part of my service sometime in the future. I have animal care experience having worked with horses, goats and cattle farms in Australia. Observing and caring for cattle dogs (Collie&Kelpie's). I also volunteered at a dog rescue shelter in Thailand. Looking after street dogs that needed feeding, medication and daily walks. Also, having to break up fights with 30+ street dogs was challenging! However, I gained the confidence and experience of working with these lovely dogs, that had been clearly abused and neglected in their past.   Your dog will be part of the family and be taken care of as one of our own. I'll send pictures &videos of your dog whilst your away to give you peace of mind and know how much of a fun time they are having! My mum has been a massive part of my business and has been very-hands on with the dogs from day one. She is very good and caring, and has all the school holidays off - so she can give your dogs that extra care and time they need! Look forward to hearing from you, Sarah & Amanda

Thank you so much once again Sarah. Sarah really cares about our dogs. Oscar needed to go to the vet twice while we were away and Sarah took care of everything. I have no words to thank Sarah enough. I just hope that Sarah is available every time we need to go on holiday!
