Dog Walking and Pet Sitting in Brecon

Lucy manages the Brecon Pet Sitting and Dog Walking Team. She lives in Brecon with her two fur babies, Maisie and Alfie the miniature dachshunds. She has always been an animal lover, having grown up in the Brecon area with cats and dogs in her family, as well as guinea pigs, hamsters, fish and even terrapins at one point! Her background is in law and she qualified as a solicitor in 2010. In 2018, when Lucy lived in Bristol and was looking for day care options for Maisie and Alfie, she came across Friends for Pets. She ended up having a conversation with Becca which turned out to be life changing – it came at a time when Lucy was feeling totally disillusioned with working full time in an office environment. She knew she wanted to do something else so when Becca mentioned that an opportunity had come up in the Bristol team she jumped at the chance, and the rest is history! During the pandemic, Lucy returned to her roots in Brecon and launched the Brecon dog walking team. Lucy now has a fantastic team of pet carers, as well as her area supervisor Elen. We now have an absolutely amazing pet care offering in the Brecon area. All of our pet carers have close relationships with their clients and their pets and the team really does aim to be part of your extended family! Lucy and her team can offer dog walking, doggy day care, overnight dog boarding, pet visits, overnight house sitting and other services tailored to the needs of you and your pet. Lucy is always looking for excellent pet carers to join the team, so if you are interested in a role with us please apply via our website.

Hi, I'm Elen, or Ellie. I grew up in Wales, and moved back to Brecon in 2016 where I started a family. When Lucy started the Brecon branch of Friends for Pets I jumped at the opportunity to spend time with animals. I love being out walking and spending time with dogs. I truly believe it's good for the soul. We are so lucky to live in such a beautiful part of the UK and I love finding new walks to do.
I'm really passionate about quality pet care, I think it's so important and my motto is "I treat them like they're my own" and I really do stand by it.
I also love helping to manage our Bristol team!

Hello!! My name is Harriet! I live in Hay on Wye and have two lovely pooches of my own, I switched my corporate London life to come home to wales and breathe country air! I wanted to become a pet carer because on the whole animals are better than humans!! I have grown up with dogs, cats, horses, ducks, chickens and various other small furries! My favourite part of my job is taking a tired and happy pup home to their mum or dad having had a good exciting walk, oh and being greeted by my doggy friends on arrival...and my least favourite part would have to be picking up the poop!!! Comes with the territory!! A fun fact about me......my little boy Stan accompanies me on most of my walks and loves watching the doggies play!!

Hi, I'm Lesley, I have lived in Brecon for just over three years now, having moved from Devon to be nearer my daughter and her family. I have two lovely black cats. I wanted to become a pet carer because I enjoy spending time with animals. Having always had cats, I am now widening my horizons to walk dogs, visit cats and even feed chickens. It also means I get more exercise! I am enjoying getting to know many new animals - and also meeting some lovely pet owners. The worst thing about this job is realising how unfit I am!! Other facts about me? I am in the process of walking the South West Coast with two friends, and have started the Wales Coast Path.

Hi, I'm Catrin, I live in Brecon. My sons dog Milo lived with us for 4 years then recently both moved out. Since then I have missed Milo’s company and walking him. I love animals and making a difference to their lives, keeping them safe and caring for them. Being a pet carer can be challenging but very rewarding. The hardest part of being a pet carer is leaving dogs at home on their own after dropping them off after a walk and seeing their little faces looking at me going!!!
I’m a Welsh speaker who has Grade 5 in practical piano and theory, I also love reading novels.

HHello! I'm Siân - I live in Brecon and have spent the last 8 years training to be a solicitor. I spend my time working in family law and the rest of it outdoors / with animals! I've lived with animals (dogs/ cats/ chickens/ rabbits) my entire life and had 2 beautiful Sprockers from the age of 11. I adore dogs and came across Friends For Pets whilst looking for a way to work with dogs after my lovely spaniel, Hollie, passed away. I'm so excited to spend time with lots of dogs and eventually get another spaniel of my own. My long term plan is to have ALL of the animals - ducks, dogs, rabbits... the list goes on... There's nothing I love more than seeing happy animals living a happy life. My hobbies include long walks, trail running, oil painting, wild swimming and gardening!

Hi, I'm Ellie. I'm from Manchester and have worked with animals in some form or another for most of my working life. I've worked in kennels, catteries, dog daycares and with security dog trainers. I can't imagine doing anything else and love being out and about with dogs and other animals, getting to know them and forming bonds with the regulars! I'm in my 3rd year of studying for my degree in Canine Behaviour and Training. Dogs are my passion and I wouldn't have it any other way!
