My story

Hi, My name is Ash - who chased her calling across the Tasman!

I used to be that corporate girl in Auckland, chasing the "right" career but feeling empty inside. Then I thought to myself what do I care about the most and love the most? And it was dogs!! During my youth, I volunteered for Guide Dogs NZ , did fundraising, then started doing volunteering at local animal SPCA Shelter. I decided to do my studies on the side with Dog Psychology, Behaviour and training and my study in animal care. I quit my job, dove into dog care, and suddenly everything clicked.

Just when I found my stride, COVID hit. Back to corporate survival mode, passion on hold. Three years later, I couldn't ignore the pull anymore. I started walking and caring for dogs again alongside my day job. Loyal families trusted me with their dogs. My little side hustle started to grow through heartfelt recommendations alone.

Then 2026 arrived. We left beautiful New Zealand for a fresh start in Thurgoona, Albury. This move was my reset button. Moving countries clarified what matters most: dogs, families, creating a community and having connection. Now I'm all-in, full-time, building Four Paws Walks from the heart.

When you book with me, you get someone who has found their purpose through dogs. I am not just your regular dog walker! I will care for your pets as my own. I love to give them full attention hence all my walks I offer are only Solo Guided Walks and never Pack walks. Your pup becomes part of my story, and I become part of yours. Let's give Albury dogs the love, exercise, and attention they deserve.
