Dogs have always been a central part of my life, and I feel very fortunate to have built a business around something I genuinely love. I’m naturally an outdoorsy person, so spending my working days walking and caring for dogs suits me perfectly.
I take great pride in Dashing Dogs and in the reputation I am building. For me, that means providing dependable care, doing things properly and earning the long-term trust of both dogs and their owners.

Dashing Dogs may be a relatively young business, but it is supported by a lifetime of experience, sound judgement and a clear understanding of responsibility. I know that caring for someone else’s dog requires much more than enthusiasm—it requires reliability, consistency, resilience and the confidence to make sensible decisions.
This is not a hobby or a short-term venture. I am committed to building Dashing Dogs carefully and sustainably, providing a service I am proud of and earning a strong reputation through the standard of care I deliver.

Dog walking is not subject to the same local-authority licensing framework as home boarding. However, I do not believe that should mean applying a lower standard of care.
The structured ways of working developed for our four-star licensed home-boarding service—including clear registration, individual assessment, risk awareness, record keeping and honest communication—shape how Dashing Dogs operates as a whole.
Whether a dog is joining a walk or staying in my home, the same principles of welfare, safety, accountability and responsible decision-making apply.
Tell me a little about your dog and the service you are interested in. I’ll respond to discuss your requirements, current availability and whether Dashing Dogs is likely to be the right fit.
