Meet The Dog Walking Team

I have always been a caregiver, it is just my nature.  I was an elementary school teacher for 20 years, a mom for 18+ years and a dog fanatic my whole life. I have always had dogs in my family. I had a Samoyed, a Peekapoo, and a Pug. However after my last dog passed away I found it was too upsetting to think about losing another dog.  So I took a break from dog ownership for a few years.  During that time I met and married my husband Andrew.  Now we are a blended family of 6, that includes 4 children currently enrolled in university. For a few years I boarded dogs and walked dogs, through the Rover App, on weekends, winter break, March break and summer holidays while I was teaching to get my dog "fix".

 The dogs were a source of so many smiles and laughs at our house. We love getting to know each dog’s personality.  We have had some real characters. Dogs have always been a great source of calm and happiness for me. Now I try to bring them the same amount of joy that they have brought to me. Seeing them happy makes me happy. I really feel like being in a dog's presence brings out the best in me.  So in early December 2022, instead of going back to work as a school teacher I started The Fairy Dogmother and began to pursue my own company for dog walking and pet care services as a full time job. 

Hey I'm Sarah,

My passion for dogs started about 45 years ago when I was a kid. I grew up with a Doberman and Beagle. I used to read all the books I could about dogs, breeds and had posters and pics of dogs all over bedroom walls. Throughout my adult life I have always been the one to take the rescue dogs. I even had a 3 legged Yorkie for a few years!! 

I  have worked at a grooming salon for a number of years. Prepping, bathing, and drying all the dogs I could imagine! More recently I volunteered prepping food for a homeless shelter, and that helped me remember some of my passion from my younger years. I genuinely wanted to work with animals and help people. Then when I needed it most, the universe led me to a job opportunity as a professional dog walker at The Fairy Dogmother and  I couldn't resist.

With 7 grandchildren and 2 fur grandchildren, (St. Bernard, Golden Retriever ) and an aging Shih Tzu, Sam at home, I keep plenty busy! 

I am here to walk with your pets and give them all the attention they require generously! Please know they are well cared for and loved by me.

 Hi, I’m Sarah. I’m an animal lover who has always had a special place in my heart for dogs. Being around them brings me so much joy, and I love getting to know each dog’s unique personality. I want to help people by giving their dogs the care, attention, and exercise they deserve through reliable and loving dog walking. I live in Cambridge with my husband, three children, and two cats. I look forward to getting to know your animals. 

 Hey, my name is Hannah! I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember, and I have always cared deeply for them. I currently work at an animal shelter, along with dog walking for The Fairy Dogmother.

In my free time, I love riding horses and taking care of them. I also enjoy powerlifting and working out. I have two Boston Terriers, Millie and Leo, as well as a cat named Daisy.

I love all kinds of dogs, big or small, but my absolute favourite is any type of mastiff. I believe that every animal is important and deserves the world. Caring for animals is what makes me happiest, and I look forward to meeting your pup!
