I currently live in Hanwell, Ealing, with my pet tortoise, Doug. Like most pet owners, I have always been a lover of animals. My parents say that I was obsessed with them from the moment I could lift my head, and that my first word was our cat’s name. Needless to say, we went on to own every pet imaginable. From hamsters to rabbits, to cats and dogs, to African land snails and a bearded dragon. We were always a house full of animals, so I learnt the responsibility that comes with owning a pet from a very young age.

I realised that I wanted to work with animals after taking my elderly dog, Max, to physiotherapy. The impact physio had on improving the quality of his life was incredible. After a few years saving I enrolled on The College of Animal Physiotherapy’s Canine Massage Therapy course. In December 2018 I became a qualified Canine Massage Therapist.

Every owner wants their pet to live the happiest and healthiest life they can give. However, juggling jobs, families, friends and time away, as well as pet care, can be a struggle. This is why I set up Jolly Paws. To help owners continue to give their pets a happy life, even when their commitments take them away from home.

As a lifelong pet owner I know how much your animals mean to you. My focus at Jolly Paws is to provide you with personal pet care services that you can trust and that, most importantly, make your animal happy.
