Dog Walking with Optimistic DogsI am qualified, experienced, and professional dog walker based in the Mottingham area. Not only that, I am also a dog trainer.
My dogs are my world so I know how important they are to you. Their well being and care is my number one priority and all dogs are treated as mine own.
A walk isn’t just a walk when in my care I like to make sure they have fun, lots of hugs and kisses, they get lots of mental stimulation and walks meet their needs. I like to call them adventure walks. This can happen on solo walks or group walks.
Back in 2016 I started a very successful dog walking company Little Paws Paws, sadly two years later I was told I was allergic to dogs so had to give up walking my doggies. In the end the hospital made a mistake with my results. Now in 2024 I am back dog walking. it is my favourite thing to do I have missed it so much I am so excited to meet and walk your beautiful doggies.
All dogs go under an assessment to see what they are like and what group walks they would be suitable for.
I have a fully secure van with crates. It has lights and air con and a fan. It’s all kitted out with everything your dog needs for all weathers and safe travels.
The Benefits of working with me
I am a strong advocate of only kind and fair methods so when in my care the dogs and animals can be certain there will be NO pain, No Force and No Fear! I am a proud member of PPF - link here and everything I do is positive and reward based.
I have several qualifications including Pet First Aid. I always keep my knowledge refreshed as it is very important to stay up to date. I am also Police Checked (DBS Cleared).
My car is kitted out with Trans K9 Crate for transport and is always locked during my drive. *Please note I am currently looking for an automatic van and on a wait list for when one comes in stock. *
All clients house keys are unidentifiable to anyone outside Optimistic Dogs Dog Walking and kept locked in a safe when not in use.
I am fully insured for all service provided which will be shown for our initial consultation. A copy can be provided if needed.
You will be updated on my walks with your fur baby so you can see all the fun they are having.

Qualified & police checkedFully insuredSafe Transport for your dogSafe and secure house keysImportant NotesAll breeds and all ages are welcome. I am happy walking on and off lead (off lead will be once I feel confident we have built up a strong bond and only with your written consent.)
I walk in woods, fields, and parks, sometimes if time allows, I will go to the coast for special days out providing I have extra help and sometimes I will use secure fields. No walk is the same.
Please note that my own dogs Tilly, Marley and Izzy will join me on my daily group walks if it is suitable. Each bring their skill set to the group. Marley is a all rounder and loves the larger breeds she enjoys playing but is quite happy, Tilly likes to chase and play ball and is great for the less confident dog. Izzy is a stooge dog as she doesn’t bother with other dogs and does her own thing, she is great for teaching dogs to ignore other dogs and just do their own thing. They all pick up on other dogs emotions and welcome everyone into their gang with open paws.
Please note that any training undertaken on walks will be basic training as I will be caring for other dogs as well and each and everyone is just as important as the next. My eyes and ears need to be always on every dog. Therefore, if you have any specific training requirements, please contact Optimistic Dogs – Dog Training to organise a 1-1 training consultation.
