Hello! I’m Sarah — founder of Ridgeback Rambles — and proud dog mum to Bayo, our fun-loving Rhodesian Ridgeback.

​

I’ve loved dogs for as long as I can remember. As a child, I’d join family friends on their dog walks, learning early on how every dog has its own way of seeing the world.

My journey into professional dog care began when we fostered Bella, an anxious rescue from Spain. Supporting her transformation inspired me to study canine behaviour and handling in depth. I spent two years training alongside a local dog behaviourist, learning how to work confidently with dogs of all temperaments and breeds — from bouncy puppies to reactive or nervous dogs.
 

The heart of Ridgeback Rambles

Kemba, our first beautiful 50kg Rhodesian Ridgeback, was the inspiration behind my first dog walking business, Ridgeback Retreat. Life changed during Covid and my work went in a different direction. It's wonderful to be back doing what I love with Bayo, our sweet Rhodesian Ridgeback boy, who inspired me to launch Ridgeback Rambles. He's the joyful spirit behind everything we do. He’s a toy-destroying, cuddle-loving whirlwind who reminds me every day how rewarding life with dogs can be.

​

Together with my husband Matthew, we love being outdoors — exploring the countryside, staying active, and enjoying life surrounded by the dogs (and people!) we love most.

​

Whether your dog is young or old, shy or social, I’d love to meet you both and help make their walks the highlight of their day.
