About me/us
My name is Monique and I founded The Playful Paw Collective out of a love for animals and a passion for their care and wellbeing. With a strong belief that no two animals are the same, within the same species or breed, I am dedicated to providing a personalised service and tailored care to meet the unique needs of each pet.
I am an Engineer turned Dog Walker/Pet Sitter. This might seem like a bit of a jump, but I have always loved animals and over the past 5 years I have gained experience caring for them through volunteering at organisations such as the RSPCA, Animals in Distress and The Cinammon Trust. Since deciding to make the career change, I have become certified in Canine First Aid and studied Dog Training and Husbandry at Bicton College.
I understand that pets are a part of the family and I endeavour to go the extra mile to ensure that they are happy, healthy and well-loved. From energetic adolescents to senior pets, well-being is my top priority. My commitment to always providing a safe, nurturing and enriching environment is what sets The Playful Paw Collective apart.
