Who is behind Dashing Dogs?
Meet Victoria
Dogs have always been an important part of my life, both as a lifelong owner and through building Dashing Dogs. I share my home with Daisy, a Miniature Dachshund, and a gentle-natured older Staffordshire Bull Terrier who still loves getting out for her walks.
Before starting the business, I worked in project and change roles within financial services and, more recently, in regulatory affairs for a medical device organisation.
Working in highly regulated environments shaped my structured and responsible approach. The skills I developed—careful planning, clear processes, risk awareness and doing things properly—have helped me build Dashing Dogs as a professional and sustainable business while keeping personal care at its heart.
When I’m not looking after dogs, I enjoy going to the gym and watching the rugby!
