Our Story.

Opened in 2019, Maggie’s Mates was born from my desire to get out of an office job and work for myself. I am a lifetime dog owner and lover and have grown up on the family farm with dogs always being a part of my life. I still live in the village I grew up in, and now run my business here with my fiancé Jamie, little boy Arthur and business mascot Maggie!

It was my passion for dogs, combined with wanting to be my own boss which fuelled my decision to start Maggie’s Mates, with my own beloved cockerpoo being my muse. I started off dog walking with my sister and one van, using the enclosed facilities at the family yard and soon realised that the need for safe secure dog walks was far greater than I could have imagined. Very quickly Maggie’s Mates outgrew the premises we were using and I was able to expand the business, moving it away from the yard onto the farm, purchasing more vans and employing further members of staff.

Fast forward to today, Maggie’s Mates employs ten members of staff, has a purpose built day care centre and boasts 16 acres of fully secured, private farm land for dogs to run free and have fun on.

We are beyond proud of how far we have come in 4 years and how many of our incredible clients have now become friends. We cannot wait to see where the future holds for us and hope that you will join us for the journey!
