Muttley Poppins® is run (and walked!) by Dorset born-and-bred walker, Naomi:

"My aim is for your pet to feel relaxed and happy...but also to give you peace of mind"

Growing up on a farm in North Dorset, Naomi has some 30 years of experience in exercising her family's working dogs, alongside time spent caring for other animals - including horses, livestock and more recently, cats.

As a Pet First Aider, qualified to Ofqual Level 3 with the Institute of Modern Dog Trainers and certified in both Canine Behaviour Training and Canine Psychology, she endeavours to create a great understanding and bond with your pet. In what started as a hobby, she's been walking dogs for others since 2018.

Naomi loves the great outdoors and is out in all weathers. After a successful teaching career, whilst taking time out to focus on raising family with husband Sam (plus two lovely labradors), Naomi found herself baking occasion cakes for family and friends. They went down well; but demand was building in the kitchen and the outside kept calling - time to down tools (or whisk!)...

Walking her own dogs daily in lovely locations, Naomi decided she may as well walk others too... and help friends and local pet owners out in the process. A good friend, Gayle, amusingly likened her to a well-known nanny of the silver screen - except for dogs - and Muttley Poppins® was born!

Muttley Poppins® Dog Walking and Drop-in Services are DBS checked, registered and pet business insured.

Naomi is a Member of the Professional Dog Walkers Association (PDWA). She has a background in primary school teaching... but these days the dogs are her class! 🐾
