About Me

I started out on this journey when I found myself.

Spending years trying to figure out what I wanted to do, and what careeer path was the right one for me.

​

I used to own an Eco Friendly company with my sister, and although we were doing something we had a passion for, trying to compete with thousands of other businesses was something we struggled with. We made the business thrive for 4 amazing years, but sadly due a number of reasons (one being covid lockdown) we both decided to move on to the next chapter in our lives.

​

I became a single mum to my two daughters and took some time out for them. It's at this point that I decided I wanted to build a career around something I loved, which was animals.

Instead of diving head first, I got the business model set up first. Getting my first aid course complete, insurance and all the other official paths I needed to take, I then set out on advertising my services into my local area and that is when Denby Dale Tails was born.

​

I did not have a professional background when it came to animals, but I had a personal one. Growing up with two golden retrievers, cats, rabbits, hamsters, fish, you name it. I loved animals and they seemed to love me too. Yes I didn't have a professional background, but I have spent a long time now building up that trust with clients that I am more than capable of not just looking after their pets, but loving them and them becoming a part of my family.

​

I remember the very moment everything clicked into place for me, it was a walk I had with two dogs called Eedie & Martha. I was doing a 6am walk and the morning was foggy and wet, but it was the most beautiful morning I'd had in a long time. I felt a peace I had not felt in so long. Walking the two dogs, mother and daughter, I realised then that this was something I wanted to do forever. I wanted to feel this for the rest of my life, and that feeling was contentment. I finally found a career that not only worked, but benefited me in every single way imaginable.

​

Since then I have never looked back. I've looked after so many animals from dogs to cats, bearded dragons to chickens, no matter how big or small, I have loved looking after your family members and hope that you'll also give me the oppertunity to show you that not only will I give you the services you want, but the services you need. I believe looking after animals isn't just a ticking off process, but you have to have a lot of passion and love for what you do, and I have buckets of that!

​

One thing I'll always ensure I give at Denby Dale Tails and that is a very personable experience. Your pet isn't just another number or another income, but it is for me an extension of my family. I'll always put your pets needs first and be totally transparent from day one.
