What do you love most about your job?
I love the relationship between mankind and dog. There's absolute truth in the saying "a dog is a man's best friend." I love walking with a dog at my side, both of us exploring and learning the countryside better. I feel a certain wholeness when with a dog, their unconditional trust and love never fails to warm my heart. Dog's are very much like people, the getting to know each other stage is fun and exciting, but the comfort of knowing and trusting each other as friends is enormously fulfilling. Aside from dogs I'm also a lover of the outdoors in general, almost as much as the dogs...! Living in Hertfordshire offers some great walks but without fail they can be improved by a dog!
What inspired you to start your own business?
I became increasingly disenchanted with the commuter rate race but am sadly years away from retirement! After 7 years commuting to and from London, I know that my heart belongs to the countryside. The humdrum and competition of London has little to no appeal and I realised that even at a young age I was burning myself into the ground.
I made the difficult decision to quit my job to start my own venture - Dog walking! I know it won't be easy, I know it will be wet, I know it will be cold, and rainy, (sometimes hot... if we're lucky!) but I know it will be the most satisfying thing I could do. I've toyed with this idea for a few years but have finally taken the leap and decided to give this my all.
Why should our clients choose you?
I believe dogs are social and intelligent animals and should be treated as such. I know how frustrating it can be to be cooped up but for a lone dog all day I can only imagine how easily they can become fed up! I want to ensure that no dog is left feeling this way and that by the end of the day they're ready for a well earnt rest!
I will never attempt to replace you as pack leader - you are the boss! But I'm happy to be a stand in second in command to offer support when needed. I believe it's important that me, you, and your dog all get along so I'm always open to discussing special requirements with you or even meeting your dog in advance to get to know each other!
I'm young, energetic, and ready to walk for you!
Walking
I'm available all day, every day for your walking needs! Whether that's a short walk or a long walk I'll be there. I'm young, fit, and healthy as well as being mobile within Hertfordshire.
Should your dog need walking twice a day, no problem at all! Should they need special care, that's fine! Even an over night stay isn't too much to ask!
Pet-Sitting
I know how hard it is to find a reliable replacement for you when you go on holiday. Your dog doesn't understand why they're suddenly being left alone, or even in Kennels.
If you need a loving, nurturing environment with plenty of play and walks, I am available for long stints subject to availability. I currently have no other pets so there would be no competition for my attention! Should it be needed I can be with your pet 24/7.
