Dog Walking and Animal Care in York
Thoughtful local care from someone who understands animal behaviour.
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.
