Meet The Team
Sam
Owner
Why did I set up Walkies over a decade ago?
My whole life I have been obsessed with dogs/animals and their welfare. Ten years ago, I left the corporate world of finance to start looking after the most wonderful fur babies and I have not looked back since.
​
I own Rhodesian Ridgebacks and utterly adore them. I have also adopted a teeny tiny Chi recently and I definitely get some looks walking him with my Ridgeys! :-)
​
I spend my spare time rescuing dogs that need new homes and taking in Ridgebacks specifically that need a stable and kind home. The more the merrier!
​
When I get the odd occasion off, I like to disappear for weekends away with my own dogs so I'm basically always with doggies because I love them so much!
​
Walkies has really grown from strength to strength during the past few years. I now have a whole team, the most wonderful people ever, to help me look after them all. My amazing team share the same passion as I do for the welfare and happiness of the animals in our care. We offer a 5 star service throughout and we offer every service to help you with all your doggy care needs!
​
Here's to many more years looking after all of our doggies!
Adele
Team Manager
Hi, I’m Adele.
I live in Hadlow. I’ve been working for walkies for nearly 6 years now. I couldn’t think of a better way to spend my days than to work with all your amazing doggies.
Before working for Walkies I was a nanny. We have the best community with our team and customers and I look forward to what everyday brings!
Carrie
Dog Walker
Hi, I'm Carrie and I live on Kings Hill with my husband, 3 children and our furbaby Ted.
​
It's safe to say - I absolutely love dogs!
​
When I'm not walking and caring for your precious doggies, I volunteer at the RSPCA Leybourne as a Kennel Assistant. Some poor dogs aren't fortunate enough to have amazing owners like yourselves and I try my best to enrich their lives!
Sophie

Hi, my names Febe.
​
I have been a member of the Walkies team since March 2023. Animals are my passion and I own many (13).
I'm currently training to be a veterinary assistant, but in the mean time I'm really enjoying getting to meet and walk all of your dogs :)
Emily
Dog Walker
Hi, I'm Emily. I've been working for Walkies since August and I love it.
​
Since I was young I have always had a great love for animals, especially dogs.
​
Working at Walkies allows me to spend time with all your wonderful dogs, keeps me fit and gives me my doggie fix!
Katie
Dog Walker
Hi, my names Katie.
​​
I currently live in Hartley with my 2 fur babies and 5 kiddies. I absolutely love doggies and all sorts of animals. Over the years I have owned a variety of exotic pets.
​
I currently own an Alsation and a Dachshund. I know what you are thinking, an unlikely pair but they are best friends.
​
I was given the opportunity to work with Walkies and absolutely jumped at the chance. Turning my passion into a career and having the pleasure of looking after your amazing pooches.

Lyn
Team Member
Hi, I am Lyn, the oldest member of The Walkies Team!
​
I joined the team six years ago. I love dogs but we lost our Golden Retriever two years ago, aged sixteen and a half, and decided not to have any more. It left a hole in our lives until Sam and Walkies came along and offered me a job doing Doggy Holidays and Home Stays. From that day I have never looked back. I now have a rescue French Bulldog who I adore.
​
I love all the dogs that come to stay. They are all such big characters so most of the days are spent with love and cuddles. I cry when the doggies have to leave but always look forward to the next stay.
I am very lucky to work for a company that supports me all the way and Sam and the team are always ready to help and give advice if needed.
Gem
Dog Walker
Hi, I’m Gem and I live in Kings Hill.
From an early age I’ve always been a huge animal lover, and dogs hold a special place in my heart!
After losing my German Shepherd a few years ago, I still miss him terribly, but working with Walkies helps give me my much needed doggy fix!
I love my job, and walking all of your amazing four legged friends. What a great way to spend a portion of my day.
