About Me
My love for animals began from my family upbringing in the Scottish countryside. My mum had a pet shop so I was surrounded by many pets. We had dogs, cats, horses, parrots, budgies, rabbits, hamsters, chickens, fish, a gerbil and a chinchilla.
Moving to Cornwall my love of dogs grew when I rescued a staffi x ridgeback called Stella. For 12 years Stella gave me loyalty, love and laughter. She brought a joy to my life and touched the hearts of many. Training and stability transformed her character and I volunteered with her as a Pets as Therapy Dog.
My current dogs are the Barking Buddies logo. They are Olly, a Golden Doodle (although he is black) and little Gem a Pugalier. I rehomed both dogs separately and over 5 years they have created a beautiful bond with each other and also with me. They share my bed and every morning I wake up feeling very blessed to have them share my life. I also have 2 chirpy budgies, Buddy and Kiwi and a 16 year old cat called Floyd.
My love of animals shows in my nature and how I treat them while in my care. When starting a friendship with your pet I aim to form a mutual trust from the initial meeting. I always welcome new paws to Barking Buddies from the heart and with a huge smile.
I studied at Duchy College for 2 years to gain my City & Guilds level 3 Dog Grooming Qualifications. I have set up a private garden groom room and I am excited to be able to welcome dogs big or small.
I look forward to meeting you and your dog.
