About me
A little about me!
I have always been brought up around cats, dogs, hamsters, fish, rabbits and I even have a pet bearded dragon. I have always loved animals and being outside. I am a reliable, trustworthy, caring and friendly professional dog walker based in Jersey. I live out the west of the island and do tend to base my clientele this way too. This helps the dogs not to be in a vehicle for too long, Although i can be flexible to take clients from other areas of Jersey.
Safety for your pet.
I am fully insured with Pet Business Insurance, which includes public liability, injured animals and loss of keys and registered with the JFSC. I like to limit the size of my group walks to 3 dogs or less. This helps me supervise them closely and make sure we are all having a great time.
Personal Training & Experience.
I qualified in Pet Sitting and Dog Walking Diploma which covered a wide range of animal care, first aid, transporting animals safely and their handling. Previous to starting Playful Paws i would use my days off volunteering my time off work for a dog walking company to gain the most experience and confidence as possible.
Security measures.
All of your personal information is kept completely confidential and secure. I also would never put your personal details or addresses attached to your door keys.
Free meet and greet consultation.
I will meet you and your dog(s)/animals beforehand to ensure I can provide the service that you require, this includes a free no obligation meet and greet with note taking and forms to fill out. Also, this is a great time for me and your pet to ensure we get along well.
Positive reinforcement.
I believe that dogs should be treated with the upmost of care and have the best time when out for a walk. I do not believe in physical or mental reinforcement especially shock collars. Treats and being consistent is the way I believe a dog can be trained to behave and have a great time.
Lets talk treats.
The idea to produce healthy, home-made dog treats grew from Kerry’s dog walking business. We spent a lot of time researching, trying out recipes without adding any preservatives, additives, wheat or colouring. We also obtained approval from the state's vet and we registered the business. We have loved every step of our journey as a mother and daughter team. We started with just an honesty box outside our family home which grew to sell at markets, which we love as we get to meet lots of lovely customers and their owners. We are now, not only selling our yummy treats at events and our website but in cafes & pubs around Jersey.
