It’s named after one of my own dogs, Rocky, who was a much-loved rescue dog that my partner & I took some few years ago (he loved water, as you can see from profile photo he had just been playing in the river). I set up my business after our dog walker left to move down south & it also gave me more time to spend with Rocky as being a rescue he needed a bit more care & attention. I have always had
a love of animals, dogs in particular, as they fascinate me! Rocky passed away a few years ago (old age) & we still miss him now. We have another collie, Zak, who is very much loved too & he joins in on some of the walks. I am based in Dishforth & I grew up in Dallowgill in the Dales next to a farm. Over the years I have been lucky enough to have many pets including rabbits, guinea pigs, Yorkshire terriers & border collies; one very tame guinea pig was best friends with the Yorkie & visitors were always surprised that we had a guard guinea pig! I always want the best care for my dog & I know what it’s like trying to balance a hectic lifestyle with keeping family pets. I aim to help with your dog walking and pet sitting requirements. Having a pet, whatever variety, as part of your family is very rewarding - that lovely happy face waiting for you when you open the door from a busy day at work, never judging you & always pleased to see you. Walks are fun, stimulating, invigorating, entertaining & great exercise for your dog (and me!). I aim to walk no more than 4 dogs at any one time to ensure your pet gets the utmost care & attention. I take dog walking seriously & your dog’s welfare is my top priority. Dogs are walked for a full half an hour or hour (whichever you prefer) as travel time is not included in the time I charge for. Upon returning from our walks it’s time to clean paws (and muddy tums if needed!), fill up water bowls, give your dog a treat (if permitted) and then I will leave your tired, trusted pet to have their well-earned snooze. I am CRB checked & insured. Please be assured that any information I keep on clients is securely locked away & any keys held are marked up in a coded system, not marked with any address details. Whatever your dog walking or pet minding needs please give me a call to discuss your requirements; I will try my best to help where I can.
