Sharon's Dog Walks and Animal Care
| Hello, I'm a professional dog walker and animal carer - this is my only job and I'm fully insured (for emergency vet care, loss of keys, etc). My overall concern is the quality of the care provided for the animals I'm looking after and providing a service which owners are happy with. I'm a member of the Pet Professional Network, for pet professionals adopting only kind and ethical methods (force- and fear-free). Combining my love of nature and walking, dogs and other animals, I have many years' experience of walking the countryside with canine companions - my own best friends as well as other people's. I also love cats, and especially enjoy getting to know them as individuals. Over the years, I've also cared for guinea pigs, hamsters, horses, tortoises, chickens, ducks and ferrets. Before I began to work full time with animals, I worked for more than a decade in child protection. I love the lifestyle change, and alongside the hands on work, I'm enjoying learning all I can.

| I’m very good with animals and used to have a family dog called Leo who we sadly lost back in 2019. I’m happy walking peoples dogs for them if they need the help and to also look after them overnight. I can also look after cats.

Hilary hasn’t looked after our dogs yet but we had a meet & greet today where she demonstrated she’s clearly very experienced with dogs. My three were lying quietly & relaxed very quickly. I feel sure Hilary will care for them & give our little softy Oz some extra special cuddles while we are away "

A patient, hands-on newbie pet carer - what I lack in experience, I make up for in enthusiasm!
| Although I have no experience caring for other people's pets, I have had 3 cats for over 10 years and am very hands on with them. I currently live at home with my parents but will be getting dogs as soon as I move into my own place later this year! I'm hoping to switch careers into animal care as I've had a lifelong passion for all animals, big or small.

I started providing pet care services because pets have always meant a great deal to me and my own personal experience is that finding the best care for our pets is very important. I know that your pet is one of the most important members of your household and whilst there is little doubt that you are the most qualified person to be overseeing their exercise and training regimes, due to your busy social and professional diary, you cannot always be at their beck and call. I treat every dog as if it was my own. So while your busy life takes you here, there and everywhere, your pet is in the best possible hands: being walked by a reliable and responsible walker, playing games, having fun in the park and being cuddled silly. Walks are mostly done one-to-one, occasionally in very small groups at your approval, ensuring that they receive the undivided attention they deserve. I am local to your area, passionate about dogs, dedicated to my job and extremely reliable. I am insured, DBS checked and registered with Durham County Council.
