About us
Our goal is to provide safe, enjoyable walks while giving owners complete peace of mind. Your dog's happiness is at the heart of everything we do.
Beyond the ordinary
With over 25 years of experience in law enforcement, followed by a career working in children’s safeguarding, caring for and protecting others has always been at the centre of what I do. Alongside this, I’ve also worked as a gym instructor in my spare time, promoting health, wellbeing, and an active lifestyle.
Dogs have always been a huge part of my life. My two children have grown up around dogs including Staffordshire Bull Terriers, a Rhodesian Ridgeback, and now our much-loved Labrador, Murtaugh. I understand how important dogs are as part of the family and how much trust it takes to leave them in someone else’s care.
To me, dog walking is about far more than just exercise. It’s about building trust, understanding each dog’s individual needs, and making sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for at all times. I also understand how important it is to trust the person coming into your home, which is why I pride myself on being reliable, professional, and dependable.
Whether your dog enjoys energetic walks, companionship, or a calmer tailored approach, you can feel confident knowing they will be treated with the same care, affection, and attention I give my own dog.
Beyond the ordinary
What makes our dog walking service special is the personal care and flexibility we offer to every client and their dog.
We understand that every dog is different, and every owner has individual needs and routines, especially those working shifts or unpredictable hours. That’s why we provide flexible walking arrangements tailored to suit both you and your pet.
Before any commitment is made, we offer a free meet and greet so we can get to know you and your dog, helping to build trust and ensure everyone feels comfortable and confident.
Our priority is always your dog’s happiness, safety, and wellbeing, because we believe a happy, well cared for dog creates a happy owner too. We treat every dog as if they were our own, giving them the care, attention, and companionship they deserve.
Beyond the ordinary
What makes us beyond the ordinary is the genuine care, trust, and personal approach we bring to every walk.
We don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all service — we take the time to understand both you and your dog’s individual needs, routines, and personality. From flexible walking times for shift workers, to free meet and greets before any commitment, everything we do is designed to make life easier for owners and happier for dogs.
Your pet is treated like part of our own family, with love, patience, and attention every step of the way. We are passionate about creating positive experiences, building lasting relationships, and giving owners complete peace of mind knowing their dog is safe, happy, and truly cared for.
At Waggy Trails North East, we believe that happy pets create happy owners. Our passion is providing trusted, reliable, and loving care that goes beyond a simple dog walk. Every pet is treated with kindness, patience, and individual attention, ensuring they feel safe, stimulated, and cared for at all times. We understand how important your pets are to your family, which is why we work closely with owners to provide a flexible and dependable service tailored to their needs. Our goal is to give you complete peace of mind, knowing your dog is not only exercised, but genuinely happy, valued, and loved while in our care.
