Kay Brearley
I have owned dogs for almost 40 years and have experience of dealing with a variety of breeds ranging from Yorkshire Terrier to Great Dane. I have previously owned Cats which include Burmese and Cross Breads. I have also bred Birds, ranging from Dusky Lories to Amazon Parrots and I have kept both Marine and Tropical Fish. I currently jointly own two English Cocker Spaniels with my husband Lee, and one working Cocker Spaniel.
Following my retirement I have embarked upon a complete change of career direction which has been influenced by my passion for dogs and for this reason I set up Kay9Brearley Professional Dog Walking in June 2015.
In preparation for setting up the business, I studied for and obtained two Diplomas (with Distinction) in Professional Dog Walking and Canine Care and First Aid. I further qualified in May 2016 as an Advanced Canine First Aider with ‘1st Aiders Training’ at a course held in Shrewsbury. I am now studying a further Diploma in Solving Dog Behaviour Problems.
I am a member of the International Society of Animal Professionals, and I Fully Insured and Security (DBS) Cleared. I am also a member of the Institute of Advanced Motorists (IAM) providing reassurance to customers that their dogs will be safe in transit.

Safeguarding, Home Security and Key Holding
You are allocated an individual customer number which is unique to you. Your key is labelled with this number so it cannot be identified to you or your property. It is kept in a locked cabinet in an alarmed premises and away from your personal information. Should your key be lost or stolen we will inform you immediately.
We are conscious that whilst you are away your house may appear to be vacant. Therefore, at no extra cost we offer the service of opening and closing curtains, switching on and off lights, retrieving post and putting out and pulling in wheelie bins. This gives your home the appearance of being occupied and not diverting from your usual routine.
Access to your property will be discussed and options provided for which there is a procedure in place at the time of our initial meeting.
What is your Cancellation Policy?
We require 24 hours’ notice of cancellation. There is no charge if a booking is cancelled within this time frame. If this notice is not given you will be charged as if the walk had taken place (except in an emergency).
