# Barkers & Bouncers

Barkers & Bouncers is a professional dog walking and pet care service based in East Leeds, founded and run by Vickie, an experienced dog lover with fifteen years of hands-on experience in rescue dog rehabilitation and behaviour management. The business prioritises quality care over quantity, ensuring every pet receives proper exercise, mental stimulation and individualised attention.

The business serves dog owners across East Leeds who need reliable, compassionate pet care during their absence. They work with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, from small breeds to extra-large dogs, including those with complex behavioural needs or reactivity issues. Their approach focuses on stimulating walks in controlled environments that balance physical exercise with brain enrichment—essential for canine wellbeing.

What sets Barkers & Bouncers apart is their commitment to personalised one-to-one walks tailored to individual dogs' requirements. Rather than generic group walks, they offer bespoke solutions for pets needing extra support or management. Vickie's background founding a registered dog rescue charity demonstrates her deep understanding of animal behaviour and empathy for pets with complex needs.

Beyond dog walking, they provide stress-free cat sitting services with flexible drop-in visits, allowing cats to remain in their familiar home environment rather than attending a cattery. This holistic approach to pet care, combined with Vickie's expertise and genuine passion for animal welfare, ensures owners have complete peace of mind knowing their pets are in genuinely caring and experienced hands.
