Pet care experience

A genuine passion for dogs.

As the proud owner of two gorgeous dogs, I know how important it is to show them a bundle of love and the need for exercise to keep them happy and healthy. I love to exercise and regularly take my dogs on 10km hikes and would go even further if only they had longer legs!!!! This is why I decided to become a dog walker and make it my full time job. I am a fully qualified dog trainer graduating with honors from Animal Behaviour College . I also volunteered at the SPCA at Wake County in the US where I used to live as part of my training.I have my puppy diploma from the centre of Excellence in the UK. I also completed a course on leash reactivity and a diploma on Nutrition in dogs. I am always trying to improve my knowledge so that i have the best understanding of the canine world. My own two dogs have taught me more than any course or youtube video. Every dog has its own unique personality which I love to discover when I walk them or take care of them whilst you are away. Before retraining as a dog trainer i was a Primary school teacher for 20 years. I continually make comparisons between the two, every child learns in a different way just like a dog and both need continual praise and reassurance!!!! I have recently moved back to the UK from the US and am looking forward to meeting lots of new pups .

Vicki was fabulous and so kind looking after my black Labrador Ted . I couldn’t have asked for more from Vicki. It was a real treat for Ted spending time with Vicki. Thank you so much .

Victoria was punctual, my spaniel immediately bonded with her, she had a lot of experience with dogs and is very calming. She gave him a good long walk and he thoroughly enjoyed himself.

Victoria has walked my dog several times as I have a back problem and can't walk far at the moment. Victoria is always here on time, my dog loves her, his tail doesn't stop wagging when he sees her. Victoria is happy to walk him off lead, which as a spaniel is essential, and some dog walkers wouldn't do that. I'm so pleased I have found Victoria and can't recommend her highly enough!

Vicky was great with our two pups. It was the first time we had left them at home. Vicky was extremely punctual and took loads of great pictures to reassure us during her visit. She is confident and knowledgeable about dogs and their behaviour and immediately bonded with our two little rascals. Also very good at communication running up to the visit which is important to us. We highly recommend Vicky 🐾

Victoria is a very safe pair of hands; she looks after my border terrier, Betty, beautifully. Victoria is always punctual, making the most of her time with Betty. It’s always a joy to see the pictures of what they both get up to - really lovely!!

It is very important for me to know how your dog reacts on a leash. I have plenty of experience with this but it is good to know up front so adjustments to the walks can be made. i.e looking for a path less travelled. I also like to know if your dog is happy to be pet by strangers and children or if they prefer their own space.
