After an extensive career spent in Edinburgh’s hospitality industry, I felt it was time to move in a different direction and find a career that I had a real interest in and that put a real smile on my face at the end of the working day. I was inspired to start up Wags and Walkies in 2010 and although daunting at first, it has been a great adventure so far and I've never been happier!

I have always had a passion for dogs and on any given day, it is rare to find me doing anything that isnt dog-related in some way. Working with dogs on a daily basis and seeing them respond, learn and grow gives me a sense of satisfaction that I have rarely known in any other job. I dont even mind the snow and rain these days! For years, I have been volunteering to look after friend's dogs whenever they went on holiday or were ill or had an engagement and now I am lucky enough to have a job that pays me to do exactly that!
