Meet The Team

Our Team

We have a fantastic dedicated team of the best dog walkers and daycare assistants who are reliable, trustworthy and will love your dog like their own. Your dog will usually be by the same walker so they can build a trusting bond, but if your walker is ill or on holiday another member of the team will be there to help – so you never have to worry! This is a great benefit with having a team of dog walkers. All of our dog walkers are DBS checked and canine first aid trained. We have all received nothing but wonderful reviews from all of our clients. We are trained in positive reinforcement therefore our team will only apply this method with any of our training.

Rachel

Pack Leader

Rachel is the founder of Rachel’s Dog Club and loves every minute of it! Having grown up on a farm in the Peak District, Rachel has always been around animals and especially has a great love for dogs. Since moving to Manchester, she now has a beautiful working cocker spaniel called Bella who joins the team all day. Rachel has a wealth of knowledge in canine behaviour, training and nutrition and loves to support others and offer advice. She has completed a number of canine behaviour and nutrition courses and attended dog training courses with IMDT. This knowledge of dogs and their behaviour is vital when handling groups of dogs.

Leah

Dog Walking Manager

Leah joined the team in June 2019. You couldn’t get a bigger dog lover than Leah! The dogs adore her fun and loving personality and she has become a firm favourite for many of our dogs. She always takes the time to understand their individual personalities and builds their trust to form a wonderful relationship with them. She has an excellent understanding of canine behaviour and works wonders with some of our more anxious dogs. Leah is originally from the Lake District where she grew up around dogs and has two lovely border terriers. Leah has exceptional communication and organisational skills so she was promoted to managing our dog walking logistics and our social media. She is also a dog walker for our City Centre dogs.

Georgia joined us in the opening of our daycare centre in July 2020, and has since been promoted to managing our daycare.

Georgia is lots of fun to be around and the dogs love being in her company and getting her attention. She is always thinking of new activities, brain games and themed days to ensure our daycare is mentally and physically stimulating for all of our dogs. Georgia is primarily based within the daycare.

Biagio

Dog Walker

Biagio joined our team in May 2019 after moving to Manchester from Naples, Italy. It was clear he would be the perfect addition to the team and he soon got the nickname ‘the dog whisperer’. Biagio is a very kind and patient person so the dogs are naturally drawn to him and bond very quickly. He loves the dogs like his own and the know it! Even the ‘cheekier’ dogs do exactly as he asks, hence his nickname! He was brought up around dogs and especially loves large breeds: his favourite breed is the German Shepherd. During his spare time, Biagio competes in ballroom competitions to a very high standard. Biagio is primarily the dog walker based in Didsbury, Chorlton and Stretford.

Emmie

Emmie has been a fantastic member of the team since the beginning. She is a huge dog lover and has a great understanding of their behaviour and needs. Emmie is a naturally fun person who loves to play games with the dogs so they always have a great time when she’s with them. Emmie’s favourite breed is the border collie as it is the breed she grew up with. She now has a gorgeous springer spaniel called Jess who loves nothing more than cuddling her. During her spare time, Emmie enjoys playing hockey and the ukulele. Emmie is primarily the dog walker based in the City Centre.

Jasmine

Dog Walker

Jasmine joined the team in June 2021 and quickly became an integral part of the team. She is extremely passionate about her work and has fantastic dog handling skills. She is a huge dog lover and loves each dog she cares for like her own and therefore has created the most loving bond with the dogs she walks. Jasmine has the kindest heart and will do anything for her dogs (or any animal in that case) – nothing is ever too much trouble. She has two French bulldogs so has a soft spot for the many Frenchies we look after across our walks and daycare. Jasmine is mainly based around the Salford Quays area.

Taylor

Daycare Assistant

Taylor joined the team officially in August 2021 after volunteering for some time with us. The dogs love Taylor and her funny and loving personality. She is always playing games with the dogs and having lots of fun with them: there is never a dull moment when Taylor is around! Taylor is very interested in canine enrichment and is always creating new activities to mentally stimulate our dogs. Taylor creates wonderful bonds with our dogs and is a firm favourite for many of them, especially our dachshunds! After a busy day the dogs love cuddling up to her for their afternoon naps. Taylor has a Shih-tzu called Bobby and he must have more collars and harnesses than all our dogs put together! Taylor is based within our daycare.

Kirsten

Daycare Assistant/Dog Walker

Kirsten joined our ever-expanding team in October 2021 after gaining lots of experience working in another daycare. She brought with her a wealth of knowledge and plenty of ideas to help expand our enrichment in daycare. Kirsten is mainly based at our daycare centre but heads out on walks on a regular basis. Kirsten has a Pomeranian x Spitz called Olive and it is very clear that she has a genuine love and passion for all our dogs! She has a special touch when it comes to anxious dogs, her calming and confident nature has helped improve lots of dogs’ anxieties for the better. Kirsten helps run our shop and we cannot wait to see it grow!

Lucie

Daycare Assistant

Lucie has volunteered with us at the dog club regularly for almost a year and we continue to be impressed by her amazing knowledge of canine behaviour and the way she understands each and every dog. Lucie is still in school and has had no previous training with dogs; however, you would never believe this if you watched her with them. We hope one day she will join our team full time!

Elaine

Dog Walker

Elaine joined our team back in February 2022 and it’s like she has been with us for years! Elaine initially came from a daycare background and due to this experience is very confident in animal management and handling. She also studied animal management at college and had the amazing opportunity of going to a South African animal sanctuary. Additionally, she has volunteered for a local dog shelter too. Elaine would happily dedicate all her time to helping animals and dogs in need: we couldn’t be prouder to have her as part of our team! At home, she has a gorgeous Cockapoo called Charlie and Miniature Schnauzer named Lottie. Elaine is a dog walker based in the city centre.

Lee

Dog Walker

Lee joined us in February 2022 and quickly became a wonderful asset to the team. His caring, empathetic and compassionate personality means the dogs naturally gravitate towards him and love being around him. He always forms a lovely bond with his dogs and loves all their quirks and individual personalities. Lee loves all dogs, especially large breeds. He has a Staffy cross called Coco who is impeccably behaved, especially for such a young dog. This is due to his wonderful bond with her and his patience with training. Lee is mainly our dog walker across Chorlton.
