I offer a professional, fully insured, dog walking and home boarding service, based in the East Coast village of Aberlady.

But it was not always thus.

After over twenty years as an English Lecturer, I decided it was time to make a change, swapping the classroom for East Lothian’s wonderful outdoors.

I’ve been a responsible dog owner for many years and have always adored the company of man’s best friend. Our household pack is comprised of our turbocharged Cocker Spaniel, Byron and Lagotto Romagnolo, Fina.

They both love having pals for boarding sleepovers, and occasionally join us for walks if there’s room.

Having used pet services in the past, I know exactly what I’d want for my own furry family members: the ability to go away for the weekend, safe in the knowledge they are in a home-from-home environment; peace of mind during the working week, knowing they are not stuck at home counting down the hours; not having to negotiate the school run and daily commute as fast as humanly possible – only to return to a sound telling-off, and… ‘the look’. You know the one I mean.

I am delighted, then, to be able to provide walking, home-boarding and pet visit services to our customers.

And let’s face it, the bonus is I get to have fun.
