.. and just like that, the Buddies team has doubled in size overnight!
Now it’s not just one Katrina caring for your pups but two! Not just Beryl 🚐, but Betty as well, and most importantly, not just Maia, but Bertie too 🐶.
K2 joins us as a full time employee and will be accompanying me on group walks for a couple of weeks in order to meet all current doggie customers and their owners. New customers will then slowly be added into the mix and K2 will be venturing out with her own groups in no time.
Those on the waiting list will be contacted this week to arrange meet and greets and a trial walk, ready for joining the Buddies gang mid-end of October!
Here’s to a bigger and even better Buddies! Let the fun begin 🥳.

Living our best lives together!
Love from all your furriends at Buddies 🐶 🐾 ###

🎤 Current customers.. please let me know if you would like to make any changes to your usual walk days or times or if you would like any additional walkies 🐶.
I then plan to contact those on the waiting list in the next couple of weeks to arrange initial consultations and a trial walk.
Anyone interested in walks who’s not yet contacted me / or isn’t on the waiting list.. do drop me a message as we have some availability for group walks starting mid-October 🥳.
Then begins the fun juggle of building new, compatible groups of doggies for K2 to walk. Lots of potential customers on the waiting list so far, from different locations across the Vale, wanting walks on various days and times. My mind may be a little boggled for the next couple of months, but it’s going to be worth it 😍.

What do dog walkers do on a rare afternoon off? Throw axes 🪓 instead of balls 🎾 of course!
A brilliant afternoon with Kelly’s K9s & Pet Care ! Highly recommend Alpha Wolf Urban Axe Throwing in Grantham 👌🏻
Check the comments for videos of our skills 💪🏼!

We recently lost a much loved member of the Buddies gang, who I know was adored by so many of you 💔.
Meg (aka Meggy Bear 🐻) sadly passed away after struggling with bone cancer for a short while.
She was taken from this world far too soon and has left a big hole in the hearts of everyone who knew her 😢.
Meg’s best friend and little brother, Kubo is a bit lost without her so he’s joining us on an extra walk each week (and might be getting extra treat and cuddle rations too 👀).
I’ll miss Meggy so much, from her howling when I’d arrive to pick her up for walkies, her snoring so loud I’d have to turn the tv up, her wonderful big bear hugs, her endless love for a puddle.. and I’ll even miss standing around in freezing temperatures because Meg needed lie down on her walk even though it was snowing 😆.
Meg really was the greatest companion, both for Kubo and her humans, and it’s been the greatest pleasure to have known her and make lots of wonderful memories together over the past few years ♥️.

☀️ Summer fun 🐶!
I want you to suggest challenges for me to do with the dogs! I’ll film them and share on stories.

About Buddies
Hi, I’m Katrina, the proud owner of Buddies Dog Walking.
I’m an experienced dog walker and animal carer that’s based in the gorgeous Vale of Belvoir. I love all animals and offer bespoke services to lend a paw to your four legged friends when you’re away. Please get in touch to discuss how I may be able to help.
*Dog walking* (group walks or individual)
*Home visits* (suitable for puppies, elderly dogs or other animals)
*House sitting* (Looking after your pet in your own home when you go away).
Buddies is named after my late, beautiful Border Collie, Buddy. He was my best mate growing up and we used to have a wonderful time together training in agility, obedience, heelwork to music and more! I hope that I can meet some of your own four legged ‘buddies’ and in turn become their companion and vice versa!
An animal lover all my life, and a true country girl. I love exploring walks in The Vale and testing out the occasional pub along the way (there’s such a great selection after all!).
