Looking after dogs.

Caring for your dog as if it was my own.

A safe and loving service
for your dog.

Welcome to
Looking After Dogs.

About me.

I'm a dog lover with many years experience looking after different breeds. It all began when I rescued my first dog from Newport’s RSPCA. Rosie was a Welsh Border Collie who had been abandoned. She was a very nervous dog who required training. I took her on a puppy training course with Steve Venmore, and together we gained puppy and Bronze training certificates.
It was a struggle at first, but then after 18 months it all clicked and we were best of friends; she was truly trusting of me and I of her. Sadly Rosie is no longer with me, but she taught me invaluable lessons.

  • That dogs are very vulnerable.

  • That a dog has true feelings.

  • That a dog needs love.

  • That a dog gives love.

  • That a dog is faithful and more....

    These invaluable lessons have stayed with me since the first day I laid eyes on Rosie.

Finding the right dog walker.

Finding the right dog walker is difficult. You need to know what to look for in a good dog walker. The first thing I do is arrange a face-to-face meeting to evaluate my compatibility with your dog so you, your dog and myself feel comfortable.

My fees.

Walk: 1 hour £15
Drop in: 1 hour £15
Zoomie Field: 1.5 hour; exclusive use of field for £20 (my fee) + £12 (field fee)

One dog policy.

I will only walk for one dog at a time. I want your dog to feel safe; no competition for hugs, love and treats. There will be no group walks.

I live and work in South Wales. After studying Fine Art in Southampton and working as an artist I decided to move to Newport. I did various jobs; Website Design, I worked in Health & Social Care and Retail. Recently I decided to create my own small business Looking after Dogs, so here I am. I love dogs, actually I love all animals. I feel very comfortable around them; we always have fun. I have found that all dogs have their own personalities and I am mindful that treating each dog as an individual and with respect, like humans, is when you earn their trust and gain a friend.

This is me with one of my customers.

Love is a
Four Legged Word.

I provide dog walking and dog care services in Risca and its surrounding areas.
