Groovy Pups

Are you going on holiday and your dog needs a home away from home? Or do you need a bit of help with the care of your dog while you are at work? Or you just want your dog to spend a fun day with friendly and safe play mates? My name is Amélie and I run Groovy Pups, together with Pozzo, my Working Cocker Spaniel, and Lucy, my Labradoodle. I have grown up with dogs, either my own or taking care of friends’, and after 15 years of working in International Development, I relocated from London to Leeds with my Leeds-born partner and decided to follow my childhood dream of working with and taking care of dogs. I offer a variety of professional and premium services for your furry friend(s) ranging from group dog walking, solo dog walking or tailored pop-ins for dogs who may be a little anxious, older or recovering from an injury as well as tailored puppy visits. All services are offered in a safe environment and in a reliable, caring and trustworthy manner, suing solely reward-based, force free methods of care. For your peace of mind, I am:
* fully insured,
* DBS checked,
* Level 3 Canine First Aid certified
* Level 3 Canine Care, Behaviour and Welfare certified

The walks vary daily in the beautiful parks and countryside around North Leeds where the doggies can have lots of fun, explore and play safely. I like to keep the groups small and never walk more than 6 dogs at one time. Solo walks, pop-ins and puppy visits are tailored around you and your dog’s requirements. While walks are important for our dogs, regular enrichment that allows dogs to engage in their natural behaviour such as problem solving, bonding, playing, thinking, smelling, digging, chewing, etc..., is also key to happy, healthy and confident dogs. Therefore, each walk/visit includes enrichment activities customised to each dogs’ needs, physical abilities, energy levels and temperament. To ensure all my furry guests have a positive experience, I offer a free & no obligation meet and greet where we’ll go for a walk together, see if the dogs get along and are a good fit and where we can discuss your needs. If you think your dog might like to join Groovy Pups, please get in touch!
