A LITTLE BIT ABOUT ME
Elvis
Leaving your Pet in the safety of someone else's hands can be a daunting task, so here are some keys facts about me, the face and name behind Taking the Lead, to put your mind at ease...
​
​
My name is Kate. I am a 28 year old Dog Walker and the owner of Taking the Lead, a small family run business, providing Dog walking and Pet Sitting Services.
​
I have been a dog fanatic all my life, from the early days growing up with a Great Dane, then numerous Collies, Lurchers and Rescues, and I currently have a 1 year old Australian Shepherd (Elvis) who brings me joy every day.
Before deciding to go into the world of Canine Care I lived with a dog care professional and trainer. Not only did I learn a lot through her experience in this profession she influenced my decision to start up my own business. Meeting new dogs everyday......who wouldn't want that as their career!?
​
Aside from dogs, my other interests include photography, running and bouldering. I'm a certified Personal Trainer but decided I much prefer the company of furry clients.
​
I have experience with puppies as well as adult / senior dogs. Since Covid -19 there are a lot more puppies and new dog owners in the area. If this is you I am happy to provide advice and assist with puppy training on my walks to ensure they learn good behaviour and most importantly are well socialised.
​
I am currently undergoing a Canine Behaviour Diploma Course to add to my understanding of dogs and to always stay on top of the various mix of breeds and how they vary.

SERVICES
DOG WALKING
I provide a professional Dog Walking Service, ensuring your beloved pooch gets the exercise and mental stimulation they need. Dogs rely on us to provide them with exercise they need to help them develop, learn, socialise and expend energy. We can't always be the one to provide this for our dogs.. and that's where I can help!
To give you peace of mind I am DBS checked and trained in Canine First Aid, so you can be sure your dog is in safe hands whilst in my care.
You have the option of Solo or Group walks with up to 4 dogs depending on what would suit your dog. My main priority is to ensure your dog has a happy experience whether they require group activity or a 1-2-1 session.
