As animals are regarded as an integral part of the family I had a lot of pets and was taught to be responsible for them at an early age. At 12 I got my first horse and we went to a boarding school together which specialised in riding and horse management. I competed for many years and hold a Horsemasters certificate.

Hooves, was established in 1999, initially as a mobile livery service and quickly progressed into Hooves, Paws and More, to include dogs, cats, rodents, birds and small livestock. We have retained most of our original clients who I now think of as friends.

Likening peoples pets to children (and having experienced the traumas of childcare!), I know the concerns that owners have whilst away from home. I endeavour to maintain regular contact with all our clients and to establish a good fun and trusting relationship with the animals that I care for.

My day is never dull; I find my work rewarding and it keeps me fit (and exhausted). If you wish to contact me, please do so, or perhaps join us for a walk to see how we really work.
