Walk-eez is run by me - Trina, my partner Jeremy and ably assisted by our Chocolate Labrador Happy!

I started working in a small Golden Retriever breeding and boarding kennels 25 years ago undertaking what was then the YTS Scheme, coming away with a City and Guilds in Small Animal Care and The National Small Animal Care Certificate. I looked after 11 of our own Goldens, plus boarders which meant a lot of walking usually with 6 dogs at a time!

My family also became the proud owners of ‘Monty’ a Golden pup, who was born there and I was lucky enough to have been at the mating and at his birth, he was a handsome, cuddly bear of a dog, was with us for 14 wonderful years and is one of those dogs that was just truly special and will always have a place in our hearts.

I then moved onto a rescue kennels and cattery, where I spent 4 years being heartbroken every day, although it was probably one of the most fulfilling jobs I’ve ever had.

It did lead to my owning MY first dog ‘Kane’ the German Shepherd, he was a 5 month old bundle of fur, big ears and paws when he captured my heart, arriving as stray that was never claimed. He wasn’t easy and had issues with other dogs but he taught me a lot and together we got through the tough stuff well enough for him to live with numerous dogs throughout his life. During this time my family also had the joy of owning ‘Ember’ the Rottweiler, she was the biggest black and tan baby, incredibly loving and had more quirks than any dog I’ve ever known!

I spent 5 years in the Ambulance Service and although an exciting and rewarding job, it really isn’t the most dog friendly career so I had to go dog free for a while, instead, owning 2 cats ‘Beryl’ who was diabetic and had to have insulin injections twice a day and ‘Magoo’ the cuddliest most playful boy!

I eventually moved to Surrey and to having Happy coming into my life at the tender age of 7 wks old, she was a dream puppy and has turned into a 2 year old clown!

My love of dogs and working with them and the great outdoors has always stayed with me and been my dream to get back to, so as circumstance has now allowed, walk-eez has evolved!!

Jeremy will be a willing helper from time to time! He’s always had dogs in his life and they have always been one of his loves along with rugby, cricket and football! He grew up with Labradors that his aunt bred and spent his childhood with ‘Ricky’ the German Shepherd and ‘Flea’ the Whippet also later on in life owning ‘Lady’ the black lab. 3 years ago he adopted ‘Thelma’ the black cat from his mum as she was being beaten up by the new cat and she has been eternally grateful ever since!

Happy, commonly known as Happy the hamster or ‘Hammy’ to her friends! Lives life to the full, oozes character and greets everyone like a long lost friend whilst secretly hoping they may have food on them! She is an eternal puppy and loves to play the chase game, she adores water and is also the biggest scrounger and scavenger on the planet! She has volunteered to be the test dog for anyone that decides to walk with us as she says ‘you can never have too many friends!
