Meet the Team
Jess
Hello! My name is Jess, and I am the owner of Hoof & Paws.
Growing up I was always surrounded by animals and dogs of all breeds, shapes and sizes, invertebrates, birds and exotics. Later on, I learnt how to ride and now own two horses.
My life has always been filled with animals, so naturally, I wanted to build a career around animal care. My passion, which started at school led me to work in a kennels.
Around this time I had taken on a rescue dog named Bella, little did I know Bella was actually fearful of other dogs and was proving to get aggravated around them. So I looked for services that catered to dogs like Bella that required special care, to my dismay the options open to me were limited, to say the least.
So after much thought, in September 2018 I decided to follow my dream of creating a business focused on providing a bespoke one to one service for animals of all varieties.
Since building my business, I've gained many animal qualifications, including Canine First Aid and Canine Body Language. In 2022 I became an Accredited Dog Training College Reactivity Specialist.
Jess is a Vetted and Approved Dog Training College Dog Trainer.
Sue
After many working in rescue centers, Sue had taken a break from working in the animal industry but now she’s back! And luckily, she’s chosen to join our team part time - helping with check ins, housesitting and canine behaviour consultations with occasional walking.
She is a qualified shiatsu practitioner, she has renewed her pet first aid, canine body language and she is a Dog Training College Reactivity Specialist, scent work specialist.
Millie
Hello, my name is Millie and I joined Hoof & Paws in 2021.
I have always loved being around animals - with my family having big German Shepherds to my dogs now which are small (Italian greyhound x whippets), I'm used to a wide range of breeds.
Since owning my two dogs I've enjoyed lovely long walks along the beach. I love being in the fresh air, I'm excited to turn my passion into a career, I have completed my Canine First Aid training and canine body language trained with Dog Training College in 2022.
In 2023 Millie qualified as a Dog Trainer with Dog Training College and will now be offering training sessions, behaviour consultations and Classes.
