About Us
My Ethos
I am passionate about providing exceptional dog care services that ensure your furry friend feels loved, safe, and well-cared for, giving you total peace of mind. I believe in creating a nurturing and safe environment for all dogs, using a kind, compassionate, and rewards-based approach to foster trust, promote healthy behaviours, and build a strong bond. Every walk and training session is thoughtfully designed to enrich your dog’s life, encourage learning, and support their overall well-being. Your dog’s happiness, safety, and well-being are at the heart of everything I do—because they deserve the very best.
About Me
Hi, I’m Amélie! Growing up between France and the Netherlands, my love for dogs began with my grandmother’s German Shepherd, Wolf, and my childhood companion, Candy, a golden Cocker Spaniel. This bond inspired me to start pet-sitting and walking dogs for neighbours, nurturing my lifelong passion for working with dogs.
Following years of managing sustainable development projects across the globe, I returned to my first love—dogs. In 2019, I moved from London to Leeds, trading cityscapes for woods and parks, and in 2021, I launched Groovy Pups with my loyal companions, Pozzo (my beautiful and ever-loving Working Cocker Spaniel) and Lucy (my gentle Labradoodle). Combining years of professional experience with my passion for canine care, I now dedicate myself to enriching the lives of dogs and their humans, ensuring they live their happiest, grooviest lives.
Pozzo
Pozzo, my beloved Working Cocker Spaniel, who sadly passed away in 2023, was truly my heart and soul. His boundless affection and gentle spirit filled every moment with joy and he taught me more about dogs than I could have ever imagined. He inspired me to start Groovy Pups, which stands as his lasting legacy. His love and joyful spirit continue to inspire me every day, bringing that same happiness to dogs and their humans through Groovy Pups
Lucy
Meet Lucy, my loyal Labradoodle and trusted sidekick on group walks. With her calm, gentle nature, she creates a soothing presence that puts everyone at ease. Her mature spirit guides the group with quiet confidence, bringing peace and harmony to every walk!
