About Val

Val with Top Gear's Richard Hammond at Crufts
Val with Top Gear's Richard Hammond at Crufts

I have been an animal loving person all my life and have owned animals from as small as a mouse to as large as a horse. I have also looked after many different varieties of animals for friends and relations.

Recently made redundant after working for 24 years for a local school, I have decided to start my own business as a dog walker and pet carer, which I have a great amount of passion for.
When I left school, my first job was working in a pet shop and I really enjoyed helping people and providing advice about their pets. When my own children came along, life with pets was put on hold whilst they were small. Now they have grown up, I can follow my passion and start working with animals again

With my own dog, Tyler (The German Shepherd that you can see on the home page) we have have achieved the Gold Citizens Award and we travel around the country going to championship dog shows, demonstrating how to achieve the bronze award and helping other dog owners to achieve.

In March 2004, Tyler and I were invited to the Crufts dog show to do an obedience demonstration. Richard Hammond, (from BBC's "Top Gear") joined in with his border collie and passed his bronze test. He was very pleased with himself and his dog and we even got coverage on the BBC.

As well as giving demonstrations, I also compete in dog shows and agility classes and for the past five years have been providing dog training classes.
