My formative years in northwest England, amidst the beauty of the West Pennine Moors, instilled in me a deep love for the environment, nature, wildlife, and animals. As a child, I developed a passion for painting and a profound connection with animals, practicing natural horsemanship for 20 years and transforming my own horse into a confident, trustworthy friend. Despite a successful career as a project manager at Hewlett Packard, I often struggled with the time spent away from my animals. In 2015, a life-changing event prompted me to leave my career and start Pawprints, a business dedicated to ensuring dogs receive the comfort, companionship, and enrichment they deserve, even when their owners are busy. I believe our dogs deserve as much care and love as any family member, and through Pawprints, we provide this essential service.
My name is Grace, and I’ve had a passion for animals since I was very young. I’ve been fortunate to work with a wide range of animals, from farm animals to wildlife, and now I’m thrilled to be working with dogs! During lockdown, I completed an animal management college course, which I thoroughly enjoyed. My favourite part of my job is providing dogs with new experiences and watching them thrive here at Pawprints.
I was raised with dogs and have always had a deep affection for them and a keen interest in training. My passion led me to study anthrozoology at university, and I recently rescued my own dog. In my free time, I enjoy going for walks, horseback riding, and crocheting.
I’m Beci, 22 from south Wales and animals have been my passion since forever. I always knew I wanted to work with animals from a really young age and so I did a diploma in animal management in college and I’ve recently graduated from uni with a degree in animal therapy. My hobbies include horse riding and swimming and if you let me I’ll talk your ear off about my Beagle cross, Arlo!
I’m Tegan and I have a cockapoo named Flint, who is actually a “smoothie-poo” and therefore looks very much like a spaniel. He often accompanies me to work. In my free time, I enjoy training Flint to learn new tricks. Dog training is my passion, and I plan to pursue this interest further.
My name is Gracie, and I recently completed my college diploma in Animal Management. It was actually during my work experience placement at Pawprints that I discovered my passion for pursuing a career working with dogs, and I am thrilled to now be working at the very place that sparked my interest.
Outside of work, I enjoy going for walks, watching movies, cross-stitching, and attending church.
