Passionate about animals from a very young age and always a dog owner, I have finally made the step to offer my knowledge, understanding, skills, enthusiasm, love and dedication of becoming a professional dog carer and walker.
I can't think of a more pleasurable way to spend my time. Looking after your dog or other small furry creatures fulfills my instinct to nurture and love. Their happiness will be my happiness and with all that exercise and fun we’ll be extremely fit and healthy too! Perhaps it's in the genes as my great-grandfather used to own nine Doberman and train them for the police force. Enjoying dogs' company I truly understand their behaviour and psychology and I wholeheartedly believe that a dog is man's best friend. I have been called a dog whisperer!
In a previous life I had a career as Private Secretary/office Manager in London in commercial property and also in childcare, owning my own Nursery school in heart of Surrey and being Head Teacher. From my lifestyle experience I understand the need for stimulating, consistent, nurturing, and holistic care to bring out the best in ones pupils or pack! Organisation communication, praise/reward being key to outstanding practise and results! THE FOCUS OF ANY DOG WALK OR CARE IS TO FOCUS ON THE DOGS EXPERIENCE. That's what counts!

"Surrey Dog Walking have walked my dog regularly for almost 12 months now. They are friendly and reliable. My dog always leaves home with a wagging tail and comes home tired but happy."
