🐾 A LITTLE BIT ABOUT ME & WHY I STARTED WALKIES WHILE YOU WORK 🩵
For those of you who don't know me, I'm Chantelle, the face behind Walkies While You Work, and of course, my little sidekick Ernie! 🐶❤️
Four years ago, I took the plunge into self-employment and started building something that was truly my own. I wanted to do something I loved, spend my days surrounded by dogs, and make a difference to their lives, even in a small way.
For me, dogs have always been about so much more than just walkies. They're family. They have their own personalities, quirks, routines and little ways of making us smile, and I believe every dog deserves to feel safe, loved and understood. 🐾
That's what I wanted Walkies While You Work to be about. Not just a dog-walking service, but a place where owners feel comfortable leaving their precious pups in my care, knowing they'll be treated as individuals and looked after as if they were my own.
Over the years, I've had the pleasure of meeting so many wonderful dogs, from bouncy youngsters with endless energy to our lovely golden oldies who prefer a slightly slower pace. I've built relationships with both dogs and their humans, made some amazing memories, and learned so much along the way.
Running your own business isn't always easy, and there have definitely been moments when I've questioned myself, but the wagging tails, happy faces and trust you place in me remind me exactly why I started. ❤️
I've continued to learn and develop my skills, including becoming pet first-aid trained, and I'm always looking for ways to grow and offer even more to the dogs in my care.
And, of course, none of this would be complete without Ernie, who's been part of my journey from the beginning. He's my best little mate, my inspiration, and a very important part of the Walkies While You Work family. 🐶🩵
So, whether your dog joins me for a group social walk, a one-to-one adventure or some company while you're out for the day, thank you for trusting me with a little piece of your family.
Here's to more muddy paws, wagging tails, new adventures and plenty more memories to come! 🐾
Welcome to the Walkies While You Work family. 🩵🐶
