The person behind The Pet Hand

Hi, I'm Becky

Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. The Pet Hand grew from that lifelong love and a wish to offer care I would trust with my own animals.

How I got here

  1. It started with a love of animals

    Dogs, cats and hamsters were always family favourites. My little ponies sparked a love of horses too.

  2. Where my love of horses began

    When I was 10, I started riding and helping out at my local riding school.

  3. Turning a passion into a career

    I began my career in care and psychology, but kept feeling drawn to working with animals. I completed an MSc in Equine Performance, Health and Welfare while working as a self-employed groom.

  4. Experience with animals big and small

    I went on to work in animal science with livestock, horses and rabbits, and later as a veterinary care assistant.

Why I started The Pet Hand

I wanted to offer friendly, reliable care that feels personal. Whether I am walking your dog, visiting your pet at home or caring for your horse, I give them the same love and attention I would give my own.
