Hi, I'm Simon.

Hi...

I’m Simon, chief dog walker at Higham & Rushden Walkies. I set up as a professional dog walker when my elderly Golden Retriever no longer wanted to go for long walks, it seemed the perfect way to combine my love of the outdoors with my love of dogs. 

Dog walking isn't my only job!  I am also a busy wedding photographer at weekends, travelling all over the country and sometimes abroad. Dog walking gets me away from my computer screen for several hours a day and also keeps me fit as I walk around 12 miles on an average day. Because I do no earn my entire income from dog walking I can concentrate on one to one walks and I only have a maximum of six walks a day, the majority of dog walkers will take out several dogs at a time which some dogs will love but others will prefer the approach I take.
