I grew up in Surrey and moved to Cumbria in 2015 and have never looked back since due to Cumbria's unrivalled charm. I am passionate about animals and about walking and hiking and so starting a dog walking business felt like a no brainer. I’ve always been around dogs having grown up with a Chocolate Labrador (Coco), a Springer Spaniel (Bertie) and a Black Labrador (Monty) and so I know just how sp
ecial they are. I am currently working my way through the 214 Wainwright peaks with my own furry friend Jasper. Jasper is a Collie Cocker cross and as such is FULL of energy and in need of plenty of exercise. Jasper is a very friendly dog and loves to swim and to play fetch with a stick or a ball or well.. My background is in hospitality and more specifically hotel management but after being furloughed in 2020, I had time to re-evaluate my goals and ambitions and decided to work toward realising my dream to work with animals and as such, Tails & Trails was born. I consider myself to be reliable, compassionate and experienced handling dogs of different breeds and temperaments and I would love to meet some of your four-legged friends and be their new walking buddy!
