Katie
My name is Katie and I grew up in South Devon with a huge passion for animals and nature. Over the years I have enjoyed keeping cats, dogs, rodents, fish and a range of exotic pets including snakes, scorpions, tree frogs, lizards and various insects to name but a few. I have achieved a BTEC National Diploma in animal care, which I completed at Paignton Zoo in Devon, gained a certificate in Game Ranging and Wildlife management and also studied for a Bsc in Zoology and Ichthyology (fish!) at
Rhodes University in South Africa.
Volunteer work has also played a big part of my life. I have travelled to some remote places around the world and have been lucky enough to witness some amazing animals that are now close to extinction. The voluntary work, which I was involved with, includes working on a wildlife rehabilitation program in Ecuador dealing with the illegal pet trade, helping out at a small Zoo for endangered species in Devon and working on Shamwari Game Reserve in South Africa.
In the last 15 years I have worked extensively with dogs, first of all working in kennels in South Devon. I then moved up to London to work as a dog walker/handler and hold a professional dog walking licence for use in London’s parks (including the Royal Parks of London) which I have now held for 14 years. Over the past 8 years I have combined my skills and love of animals to create a high quality and professional service that is ‘Wicked Walkies’.
