About me
My Background
After a career in primary education and the music industry, I decided to take early retirement. However, I was not ready for slippers and daytime TV.
I’ve had a lifetime full of cats, dogs and a motley collection of furries, big and small.
To indulge my need for rambles, hikes, dawdles and potters, and having walked dogs for family and friends for a while, I decided to turn my hobby into a small local business. I now have the joy of wagging tails and sniffy noses on my daily walks.
Depending on who is in the dog tribe on any particular day, I offer dawdle walks in local parks right through to energetic hikes along more demanding trails and woodlands. I usually limit dog numbers to 3 per walk though there is some flexibility depending on dogs needs and for multi dog families.
