 We’re very lucky here on the Wirral that there are lots of wonderful Pet Services to choose from. So why choose Furry Popins for your furry friend’s care? When you choose Furry Popins, your pet becomes part of our Furry Popins Family. Meaning they receive love, enrichment, and personalised care every visit.

 With nearly 40 years of life experience and 20 years previously working in the NHS, I bring a calm, responsible approach to every situation. Whether it’s handling an energetic puppy or calmly managing an emergency, you can trust your pet is in experienced, safe and capable hands. 

Here are just a few of the Furry Popins' Differences:

• Mentally Stimulating Walks: Walks take place in a variety of countryside locations and include wild enrichment activities to keep your dog’s mind stimulated and engaged.
• Extra Care at Home: I provide enrichment activities/scatter feeding/natural chews to keep pets occupied and relaxed.
• Birthday Celebrations: Every pet gets a card and present to celebrate their special day if they are with us in their birthday week. 
• Cleaned After Every Walk: Your dog is returned home clean and refreshed. We even have a portable shower in the van! 
• Easy Management with our App and Online Booking System: Personalised updates and photos from each visit are also shared through the app! 
• Trusted by Many: Join our family of happy clients—Furry Popins has received dozens of 5-star reviews praising our exceptional service and loving care.

With over 25 years of experience with animals, I have gained a wealth of knowledge and expertise in caring for pets of all shapes and sizes. I am Qualified in Level 2 OFQUAL Canine Care & Behaviour, DBS Checked, Fully Insured and Pet First Aid & CPR Trained. I am also passionate about Force/Fear Free and Positive Reinforcement Training. 

I have loved animals from a very young age, getting my first cat at 7 years old, and then (after a long campaign to my parents!) my first Dog - Sasha, an Akita Inu, at 14 years Old. It was with Sasha that I discovered my love of working with dogs, and we competed in Dog Showing, Advanced Level Obedience, and even tried our hand at Agility and Flyball! 

As a teenager I gained my first job as a Kennel and Cattery Assistant, later moving onto Pet Sitting. 

 Having trained & worked in the NHS for  nearly 20 years (the majority of which was visiting patients in the community) I am well used to visiting people's homes and treating them with respect, as well as handling emergency situations with a level head. 

Post Pandemic Burnout lead me to a career change and following the dream that kept coming back of working with Animals, and Furry Popins was born in May 2023.
