Jurassic Bark - Dog Walking Telford

08/01/2024

Hello everyone!
I've had quite a lot of new followers lately so I thought I'd introduce myself.

My name is Sophi, I have a BTEC in Animal Care and I have been working with dogs for 13 years. My first job was at Dogs Trust and I have built up my knowledge and experience with dogs of all breeds and temperaments from there.
I have 3 dogs of my own, 2 which were rescues (a Staffy, Cocker Spaniel and a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel) who often accompany me on the dog walks.
I am also currently fostering 2 rabbits from the lovely people at Honey Bun Haven- rescue and sanctuary . They will be available to rehome soon so please visit their page if interested!
I've been running Jurassic Bark for almost 2 years and I've met some wonderful pets and owners 🥰
I offer dog walks, doggy days out and pet sitting for all animals.
I also help run Everything dog Shropshire (No judgement) with Shenanigans With Shadow - Shropshire Canine Behaviourist & Pet Services (who is a wonderful dog behaviourist and does some awesome adventure days with dogs).

I don't like pictures of myself but if you see a very large, heavily tattooed woman with a bunch of dogs walking around Telford, it's probably me. Despite my appearance I am actually pretty friendly so feel free to say hi👋

❤️Happy 1st Birthday Mushu💛

Today is this little nightmares 1st birthday! How did he go from a cute tiny little puppy to a walking mop that causes chaos wherever he goes!? 🐾

28/11/2023

❤️Happy 14th Birthday Toby💛

He may take the saying grumpy old man too seriously but we still love him 🎉🐾

24/11/2023

Yesterday we had to say goodbye to Nina ❤️
Even though she wasn't my dog she very much felt like a part of my family. I knew her from an 8week old pirhana pup to the grand age of 12yrs old.
She had both of her owners and myself with her when she passed so she was surrounded by love ❤️

As always, please give your pups an extra kiss tonight 🐾

17/11/2023

❤️Elvis💛

Little Elvis is the newest recruit to the Jurassic Bark pack! (Spot Dougie lurking in the background 👀)

I'd like to say thankyou to all my clients for their patience and understanding for all my rearranging and cancelling these past few weeks. Not only did i manage to injure myself but I've also been back and forth to last minute vet appointments with my dogs🐾

03/11/2023

Evening everyone! Sorry for the long post.....
Firstly, I'd just like to remind everyone about payments. Please make sure any outstanding payments are paid on the Friday at the end of every week (unless a pre arranged agreement has been made). This is my only job and source of income and I keep running behind on bills etc because of late payments. I'm more than happy to send messages reminding people as I know some of you forget, but please make sure the payment is done on the Friday for that week.
If late payments keep happening I will have to start asking for payment upfront BEFORE any walks happen.

Secondly, bonfire night! A lot of dogs are frightened of loud noises and fireworks so please keep your babies safe and happy. The amount of dogs that escape their gardens this time of year due to fear is shocking. If you need any tips to keep your dogs calm feel free to message, and if you are going to any firework displays, please keep your pups at home and enjoy yourselves!
Have a good weekend everyone 🎆🐾

We had such a good walk today with Elsie, who won a free doggy day out 🐾

They can last between 3-5 hours long and we go different places each time!
