Heather - Business Owner & Advanced Dog Handler

Heather

From an early age, my fascination with animals ignited a lifelong passion within me. I distinctly remember my unwavering enthusiasm for playing with dogs during walks in the park or joyful beach outings.  Our first family dog, marking the beginning of a journey that would introduce a menagerie of pets into our lives, from rabbits to cats, even rescuing and caring for a pigeon when it had broken it's wing and freeing it when it was healthy again.

My previous professional journey had been within the IT sector, spanning over 17 years. During this time, I achieved a significant milestone by establishing my own computer reseller company.  However, the awakenkening had blossomed from the companionship of my cherished Cairn terriers, Benji and Ada, both adopted from the UK Cairn Terrier Rescue Club, they brought immense joy to my life. However, I recognized that the time I could spend with them was limited whilst I was in my IT profession. After considerable contemplation, I made a life-altering decision to pivot my career path and take the leap into my life's calling. This marked the inception of "Walking-the-Dogs," a venture that allowed me to extend my care not only to my own beloved pets but also to the furry companions of others. 

In the subsequent months, "Walking-the-Dogs" materialized into a reality,  now from the satisfaction of our clients and the happiness of their cherished pets have become a testament to the level of dedication and care we provide, I feel so honoured to be able to offer the loving care with all of my poochie friends.  Everyday is so different but one thing is guaranteed they have such a fun happy time out, seeing them so happy fills me with joy and on most days I have a real laugh out loud moment with them. "They are all simply amazing beautiful furry souls"  We have also been honoured with adopting our two additional fur babies in to our family Billie and Teddy who are mother and son they are both a complete joy and blessing!

Thank you to all my lovely clients who give me the opportunity to spend time with their little fur babies, I absolutely adore them all!

whilst growing up I was very lucky to live in the country where my parents owned a Small Holding. Along with our three dogs and five cats; we had ducks, chickens, geese and a goat. I couldn't wait to get home from school to feed, look after, talk and play with them.

After leaving home I had various jobs including being a fully trained Air Hostess, which for practical reasons I eventually resigned. My previous job was working for a Solicitors in Reading.

Around this time Heather had been running Walking-the-dogs for approximately six months, she was being asked to care for other various animals which I assisted with my knowledge from my parents small holding. Not before long the passion was ignigted again for my love of animals, which I took the plunge and joined Heather, this was one of the best fun decisions I have ever made as animals give us both just so much joy.
