    More Than a Walk

    The Poochie People offers dog walking, animal visits, and pet care for local clients who want reliable support from someone who understands body language, stress, and emotional wellbeing.

    Dog walking and animal care should feel safe, thoughtful, and suited to the animal in front of us.

    Because Nicola is also a force-free dog trainer, her care is informed by body language, emotional wellbeing, and each animal's individual needs. This is especially valuable for dogs who are sensitive, anxious, or need a calmer approach.

    Dog walking in York
    Animal visits
    Pet care support
    Calm, individualised handling
    Awareness of behaviour, stress, and confidence
